Rock On Movie Poster! // Posted on May 24 by Jessie
We now have the official Rock On movie poster (formerly know as Will) I love it. Very intense! I can't wait for the movie!
Vanessa Hudgens' new film formerly known as Will, costarring Gaelan Connell and Alyson Michalka, is now called Rock On. I feel like this movie is going to be so random. Here is the cover art from Summit Entertainment. Under the cut is the looong plot synopsis. Do you think this will be a good movie? Will Burton (Gaelan Connell) is used to being bullied or completely ignored by his schoolmates, so when cool and popular former cheerleader Charlotte Banks (Alyson Michalka) starts inviting him to hang out with her, the quirky teenager is stunned, and so is his doting single mom Karen. Impressed by his eclectic knowledge of music, Charlotte, a gifted singer songwriter, asks Will to manage her fledgling rock band. The goal: go head to head against her egotistical musician ex- boyfriend Ben at a regional battle of the bands.
Unsure of what he's getting himself into, Will agrees to help Charlotte's off-beat trio, eventually expanding it with a crew of like minded outcasts. Against all odds, the group's sound starts to come together and their prospects for success look bright. Even more amazingly, Will's loser status finally seems to be a thing of the past; he even has a potential romance brewing with a kindred spirit named Sam (Vanessa Hudgens), a classmate with untapped musical talents.
But when Charlotte is faced with a family tragedy, she suddenly breaks off her friendship with Will and quits the band, leaving their competition chances in tatters. With Will's new found self confidence on the ropes and the contest almost upon them, he and the band must choose whether to admit defeat or face the music and stand up for what they believe.
Non-US Residents Downloading from itunes, Extra Stories, & More! // Posted on May 24 by Jessie
Hey Guys! I have some cool stuff for you! First of all if you are a Non-US Resident and you want to download Sneakernight, VanAshBreNique has come up with a list of instructions on how to do it. Check them out here!
Also, on VABN an extra from HSM3 gave them their biggest highlights from what it was like on set! Sounds like the cast likes to have alot of fun. Check out their story here!
Next on ZA Angels, an extra from HSM3 also submitted their story about their experience on set. Check out the four parts here, here, here, & here! There should be more parts coming and you can check for that here!
You can check out a more high quality video of the Extra Behind the Scenes feature with an article here!
Next, Vanessa had a feature inside of Entertainment Weekly’s Summer Music Preview issue (with Usher on the cover) - under “Hottest Albums and Tours”. Read the article below and we will hopefully get a scan soon. AFTERMATH: “High School Musical” cutie Vanessa Hudgens, 19, feels she’s made it through the fire storm of controversy over those topless photos of her on the Internet last year. “I learned from everything,” she tells Entertainment Weekly in its Summer Music Preview that goes out nationally next week. “And I’m still here with my head on my shoulders. For that, I’m proud.”
Of course, Vanessa is there to plug her new album, “Identified,” which includes a song called “Gone With the Wind” that has lyrics that could be construed as an answer to her PR nightmare. She tells EW, “I just kind of went for it … The song basically means: I know a lot more, and that timidness and naiveté is gone with the wind.”
Thanks to VABN, I found a video of Vanessa's friend Samantha Droke and she talks a little bit about Vanessa and Zac in her Video Blog. Check it out below.
Lastly, I found an old video that I don't think I ever posted of Vanessa shopping for beauty products with Stella and her mom. Check it out here!
Extra had an exclusive feature on HSM3! They asked Zac and Vanessa about the Maxim Hot 100 list and Vanessa said she was very flattered while Zac said he was proud and that she deserved it. He was blushing! ;) Read and Watch below! From Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens to Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu, "Extra" is at the top secret Utah set of the highly anticipated "High School Musical 3" -- and we've got all the details on the flick, which hits theatres in October.
The latest installment of the wildly popular Disney franchise follows the high school students through their senior year -- including a prom scene, which may reveal a love connection between the characters played by Bleu and Monique Coleman. "We go to prom together," admits Corbin.
The prom scene may be special in more ways then one; for actress Vanessa, it was her first experience with the high school dance! "I was always home-schooled, so I never got to go to my own prom because I never went to an actual school," said Hudgens, "this is my prom!"
Heartthrob Efron weighed in on the dance routines for "HSM 3: Senior Year" -- now they're bigger, better and harder than before! "The dances are out of control this time," said Zac, "I know I'm hurting this time -- I hurt in places I didn't know I had!"
Will fans of the "High School Musical" franchise get number 4 after this one? "This is the last chapter for us -- as of now," said Efron.
Access Hollywood also had a HSM3 Feature!
Good Morning America had an exclusive behind the scenes feature about HSM3 aswell on their show on Wednesday. Check out the commercial and actual feature below or watch it here! It makes me so excited!!! V looks gorgeous!
According to VanAshBreNique, Vanessa will be taking on a new endorsement:
Fans of Disney’s “High School Musical” phenomenon, take note: Sources report one of its stars, Vanessa Hudgens, may wind up in a back-to-school ad campaign for Hoffman Estates-based Sears, which is looking for all the help it can get to boost sales. Young & Rubicam/Chicago is the retailing behemoth’s agency of record.
"Sneakernight" was released on itunes on Tuesday so be sure to go
Purchase it!!!
Vanessa made #62 on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the Work 2008 list and #72 on Cosmo Girl's Hot 100 list! Congrats V!
Thanks to Miss Vanessa I added a pictures from behind the scenes of Will (or Rock on).
I'm so so sorry for taking so long but I have had so much going on with the end of school and it's been crazy but I'm finally done for the year and it's summer! What time is it? Summer Time! Ok. Anyway, i'm not going to post everything in this update but I'll do some stuff and then the really new stuff will be in the next update. Once again these will be little blurbs since there's so much information so bear with me.

Vanessa attended the LA Lakers vs. Utah Jazz Game 6 of the NBA Playoff with Olesya and Ashley from HSM3 last Friday (5/16/08). Looks like Vanessa wanted the Lakers to win! ;) It was a girl's night out while the boys filmed their big basketball scene!

I found a rumored plot for HSM3 thanks to High School Musical Fan! Sharpay will try to split Troy and Gabriella up. Sharpay’s plan will not work easy like in HSM2. She will have a new crush (Zeke?). Will do anything to get prom queen. Gabriella won’t let Sharpay get into her head this time (gets stronger!). Ryan shows more of his wildcat spirit instead of being Sharpay’s poodle/sidekick/lab rat. Chad and Taylor are trying to make the date worked out. Taylor trys to tell Chad to just ask her out like a gentlemen but Chad isn’t focused. Troy and Gabriella want to get the lead roles in the spring musical. Sharpay will compete to get a lead role in the musical again. The wildcats are worried about their future in college without one another. They wonder if they are all in this together. Jason gets a new girlfriend (Kelsi, Martha, or someone new). Ryan shows his crush to Gabriella like from HSM2. The new wildcats are: Tiara, Donnie, and Jimmy, will be in the musical and more seen hanging out with the wildcat seniors.
There will be alot more powerful musical numbers and bigger dance numbers and scenes.
The movie takes place at East High, and we will see the rooms of Troy, Gabriella, and Sharpay. The DVD will likely be made for a 2009 Summer Release. The movie will be made for a October 24 Theaterical Release,which is in theaters. There will be references to the first two films and more… Troy, Gabriella, and Sharpay all get solos. Troy and Gabriella will sing a duet. Everything has to stay under wraped until it’s closer to the release of HSM3 so recent tracklisting is not confirmed and the new tracklisting cannot be released. The Movie Premiere of High School Musical 3: Senior Year will be at Disney World on October 24th.

On VanAshBreNique a Fan said that they saw Zac and Vanessa shopping at target in Salt Lake and here's what they said: another lucky SLC resident spotted VABN’s favorite couple being, well - just like any other couple: shopping at Target for shampoo (on May 3rd)…how “domesticated”, noh?
This can't be confirmed because it was on a personal blog but they claim that
this is a picture from it! I don't know if it's them but it's possible!

I found an E! news video about Zac and Vanessa's kiss at the Basketball game which you can watch here!
Glamor Magazine Article: She stars in the Disney phenomenon High School Musical, has her second pop album out this month and dates her costar, heartthrob Zac Efron. (Think Brangelina 2.0.) But the moment we knew Vanessa Hudgens had really hit the big time? When legions of young fans dressed as her HSM character, Gabriella, for Halloween last year. "Some girls came up to me and were like, 'I'm you!'" says Hudgens, laughing. But the costume (a red spaghetti-strap dress) and Gabriella's otherwise prim style are really the furthest thing from the actress's own laid-back look, i.e., long bohemian skirts and flared jeans. While she admits that she's a "Christian Louboutin freak," Hudgens swears that even with her newfound success, she's not going to turn into a label snob. Proof: Her current obsession is the moderately priced line Free People. "If something's cool and funky and I like it, it doesn't matter how much it costs," she says. Looking to her favorite style-setters Mary-Kate Olsen, Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie, who "have fun with fashion," Hudgens prefers to put herself together based on her mood. So how does a great dress, like the ones she's wearing here, make her feel? "Feminine and sexy-- just how a girl should!"

Zanessa at the Jazz Game // Posted on May 13 by Jessie
Zanessa attened the Jazz/Lakers game in Utah on Sunday after their Mother's day brunch. Ashley and Corbin were also there and apparently Ashley and what looks like her dad were sitting right across from Zanessa as a video shows of Ashley laughing and pointing to where they were sitting. I'm not sure where Corbin was sitting but there's picture of him giving the gang a big group hug. A mother who was out with her family for Mother's Day also saw them having their brunch before the game and you can check out her story on VanAshBreNique! She said that they saw Zac and Vanessa having brunch with Vanessa's Mom Gina, Stella, Ashley, Ashley's Mom and Dad, an unknown relative or friend, Matt Prokop (Sophomore/Mini Troy in HSM3), and his Mom. She also said Vanessa was very bouncy and bounded toward the chocolate fountain! Too Cute! At the game Zanessa sat together holding hands and they Kissed! It was so sweet and Zac kept his arm around Vanessa for most of the game. It's so awesome that they are getting more comfortable with sharing their relationship in public. The announcers then announced it on the speakers that they were there and they went out into the middle of the court to sign 3 basketballs while Vanessa danced with one to "Getcha Head in the Game" with Ashley. Or more like bounced. lol. They were then given a proper escort after they were discovered and left the game after giving all of us Zanessa fans a ton of eye candy so get ready for these pictures and videos!!!
Hey guys! I'm so sorry for taking so much but I have so much to say so they will just be in little blurbs of information! More news and pictures will be coming!

What happening on the set of HSM3?! // Posted on May 6 by Jessie
Thanks to VanAshBreNique we have these images with tidbits of information about Vanessa or Zanessa Sightings and what's going on on set! Just Click and take a look!
Plus, I was looking at comments on the internet and someone said that a private blog of one of the extras on HSM3 posted this:
"We were filming in the High School today (Saturday) and I saw Zac and Vanessa off by themselves. He had her pushed up against the wall and was kissing her. I grabbed the girl next to me and tried not to squeal as I pointed them out but they broke apart from each other and went in opposite directions. He had a big smile on his face, but I couldn’t see hers because her back was to me."
I'm not saying it's true I just wanted to post it just to let you know! :)
Lastly, here are a couple more links for an article and two videos on the press conference/hsm3! [ONE] * [TWO] * [THREE]

She may be in High School, but Vanessa Hudgens has already taken a master class in style.
She stars in Disneys phenomenon High School Musical, has her second pop album out this month and dates her costar, heartthrob Zac Efron. (Think Brangelina 2.0) But the moment we knew Vanessa Hudgens had really hit the big time? When legions of young fans dressed as her HSM character, Gabriella, for Halloween last year. “Some girls came up to me and were like ‘Im you!’” says Hudgens, laughing. But the costume(a red spaghetti-strap dress) and Gabriella’s otherwise prim style are really the furthest thing from the actress’ own laid-back look, i.e., long bohemian skirts and flared jeans. While she admits that she’s a “Christian Louboutin freak”, Hudgens swears that even with her newfound success, shes not going to turn into a label snob. Proof: Her current obsession is the moderately priced line Free People. “If somethings cool and funky and I like it, it doesnt matter how much it costs,” she says. Looking to her favorite style-setters Mary-Kate Olsen, Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie, who “have fun with fashion,” Hudgens prefers to put herself together based on her mood. So how does a great dress, like the one shes wearing here, make her feel? “Femenine and sexy-just how a girl should!

100 Most Beautiful People // Posted on May 1 by Jessie
People.Com just posted a their 100 Most Beautiful People list, and Vanessa is on it! She definitely deserves it! Along with it came a gorgeous new photoshoot picture that she took without any makeup on and she looks just as gorgeous with or without. Very natural. lol. :)
Here's her comment about the photoshoot...
"I grew up in the business, so I was used to putting on makeup every day," says the 19-year-old star of the High School Musical movies, who went without makeup for her PEOPLE photo shoot. "Just recently I've learned to be okay with myself without wearing makeup. I think it was a special someone telling me that I didn't need it. I started taking care of my skin and realized I didn't need as much as I thought I did."
I'm pretty sure that special someone was Zac because your parent's tell you "Oh, you look fine!" but you don't really take it to heart because, they're your parents, so I think she would be touched if Zac said that. Plus, at a time when she was dating him under wraps she made this comment to a magazine...
The sweetest thing a guy said is that I look pretty with or without makeup.
Fan Meets Zanessa in Utah! // Posted on May 1 by Jessie
On Saturday (4/26/08) a fan that lives in Utah met Zac and Vanessa while shopping and got a chance to snap a picture. Check out the picture and story below!
On Saturday, Ashley and I were leaving Gateway after a successful shopping trip (I got a really cute dress) and we were exiting the parking area. For some reason I looked at the car across from us at the stop sign. "That looks like Vanessa Hudgens," I said and then brought my gaze over to the driver seat and saw Zac Efron!! I immediately started freaking out and Ashley was yelling at me to turn around! There was no where to turn around and there were cops right there directing traffic. I felt hopeless, but Ash's persistance gave me the strength to make it possible to flip a U while stalling traffic as I couldn't quite fit. I had to Austin Powers it and do like a 3 point turn! We were looking for the closest parking space and drove past a guy conveniently reversing out of his space. I quickly kicked it in reverse and took his spot. I couldn't help but call Erin in the midst of all the commotion and I freaked out on her, then hung up. Ashley and I then slying waited on the corner for them to pass us and really make sure it was them...it was! Now the only natural thing to do at that point was to snap a picture of them from behind.
Zac then looked back and they begin to trot, soon turning into a full-on run. Ashley and I couldn't help but die laughing that they were actually running from us! So of course we continued to follow them. We weren't the only ones...this middle-aged man dashed past us wearing a button-down plaid short-sleeved shirt, I'm not kidding, in a dead sprint. We creeped on Zac and Vanessa to Urban Outfitters where they separated.
Me: Can I get a picture with you?
Vanessa: We're not really taking pictures right now.
Me: Oh, well, I really like your work.
Vanessa: (smiling) Thank you so much.
Across the store...
Me: "Can I meet you?"
Zac: (smiles) Yeah. (puts his hand out)
Me: (shaking his hand, touching Zac Efron) Hi, I'm Miriam.
Zac: Hi, Miriam, it's nice to meet you. (he said my name!!)
Me: Yeah, you too, I really like your work. (no, I couldn't think of anything else to say)
Outside the store we continue to freak out and ran into plaid guy. Turns out the plaid guy's wife totally made him run after them and he ended up getting their autographs! Why didn't we think of that?? Oh well, I'm just glad I snuck a picture of them before they could tell me no!
