MONDAY (8/18)

• I Want to Work for Diddy (VH1, 9pm):  “Two members from each team must go to Paris and convince a model that Diddy saw in a magazine to come back to NYC with them and pose for Sean John.” If you want to flatter a girl, don’t send one assistant - send four.
• The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season 4 premiere. I’m ashamed to say that I know what a ‘Lo’ is.
• Paranormal State (A&E, 10pm):  “A family in Shrewsbury, Mass., claims to have been living with a spirit for 40 years, and all but one family member believe the spirit is malicious.” If they’ve managed to live with it for 40 years, how bad could this spirit possibly be?
• Date My Ex: Jo & Slade (Bravo, 10pm):  “Juvenile tomfoolery back at he house irks Slade and may mean the expulsion of a suitor.” Had this been simply adult tomfoolery, things would have been fine.

Vanessa Hudgens Offered Raise for ‘High School Musical 3’

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Cable, Editorial, Gossip, News

Wow.  Wow.  Ladies and gents, it’s now official.  Apparently sex does sell.

Despite her now infamous photo scandal, Vanessa Hudgens has been asked back for High School Musical 3.  And though Disney could have used the embarrassment as reason to lowball their offer, they have instead rewarded the nudie queen with a raise.  According to Us Magazine, Ashley Tisdale has also been confirmed for the sequel—though I doubt her paycheck will be as ‘substantial’ as the one reportedly given to Hudgens.

I’m still not really not sure why I was surprised to hear this news.  As a former marketing major, I’m fully aware there’s no such thing as bad publicity.  And given Britney’s ability to still launch a hit album these days, it’s apparent the public really doesn’t care what celebrities do in their private lives anymore.

Now if Sabrina Bryan or any of the other Cheetah Girls were smart enough, they’d get themselves into some ‘trouble’ real quick; apparently Disney’s willing to shell out the dough.
