High School Musical 4 Already Being Planned

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

High School Musical, Zac Efron, Vanessa HudgensPlease don’t confuse this post with something we wrote earlier this month.  With production on High School Musical 3 just about underway, Disney has already moved on to its next project:  High School Musical 4.

The cable channel confirmed that they are already in scriptwriting mode for the franchise’s third sequel.  Although the current installment will be heading directly to the big screen, HSM4 will be another made-for-TV movie.  At least that’s what they’re saying now.

At this point, no cast has been announced for the latest venture.  (Most of the original actors have claimed they were done after three.)  But who knows - if Tori Spelling is willing to come back to the 90210 spinoff, anything can happen.

My theory? This is all connected to the summer reality series based on the musical.  At this point, no one seems to know what the ‘winners’ will be getting.  I’m guessing it’s their opportunity to be the latest Disney stars.

Fans Must Pay to See ‘High School Musical 3’

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

High School MusicalAs I previously mentioned, the bigwigs at Disney opted to boost Vanessa Hudgens’ salary for .  Now we know where that extra money will be coming from: your pocketbooks.

Fans looking forward to the latest musical installment will now have to pay for the experience.  That’s right - the movie will be moving from to the big screen.  The entire cast, including a heavily-rewarded , will begin filming the sequel this March.

Although many will be bothered by decision to financially exploit HSM-addicted families, here are a few good things parents can take away from this:

  1. No more parties at your home for another HSM premiere*.
  2. No more endless viewings of the show thanks to the miracles of Tivo*.
  3. No more lip-gloss kisses on the plasma TV screen*.
  4. You can dump the kids off at the theater and not be within earshot of the catchy tunes*.
  5. You can now force your children to earn the price of a ticket.
  6. You can know say you were forced to watch the movie with your kids; you could have left the living room before*.

(*This all, of course, only applies until the DVD is released.)

Disney Reacts to Vanessa Hudgens Nude Photo

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Rumors

DisneyWell if you were wondering how Disney would react to the Vanessa Hudgen’s scandal, you can interpret their extremely short and simple statement for yourself:

“Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment.  We hope she’s learned a valuable lesson.”

If you notice very closely, the statement was very carefully worded and didn’t exactly scream full support for the star.  Money had been a rumored factor in the ongoing HSM3 negotiations—and my guess is that will now exploit this new situation to the hilt.  Hudgens would obviously be very lucky to still have a job at this point, but Disney is also smart enough to realize how popular the young star has become (for better or for worse).

Am I the only one wondering how Ari (Jeremy Piven) would handle this situation on ?
