High School Musical 3 Gears Up

High School Musical 3 is in full gear! It has supposedly started filming just about now, and the cast can be found everywhere talking about it.

Ashley Tisdale took some time to speak to US Magazine about reprising her role as Sharpay recently. And surprise, surprise - Sharpay is going to be just as manipulative and just as much as a drama queen as she ever was - and she's still going to try to grab Troy (Zac Efron) away from Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens).

DRAMA!!

But don't expect it to be exactly the same as the first two films. This one is "more amazing, more exciting, and much bigger!" 

(Does that mean solo dance numbers more ridiculous than "Bet On It"? I hope so! That made my life in the last movie!)

Ashley also mentions that the film will "include prom and graduation." Yeah... so I'm pretty much having a ridiculous image of them breaking out into a dance number once they all receive their diplomas.

Now time for the unfortunate news.... looks like Jared Murillo, Ashley's dancer boyfriend turned singer, won't be returning for the third installment. Guess he's focusing all his attention on his new band, the V-Factory (one word about the name: LOL). I'm sad, because spotting him in the dance numbers always amused me (and I know we already went over the fact that I'm very easily amused).

Anyway, still looks like HSM3 will be released in theatres October 24, so mark your calendars!

Disney Channel Stars Are "Just Like Us"... Part Deux

Ooh, two posts in a day! Fun.

Okay, so a few entries back I posted tons of videos that Disney Channel Stars made/starred in on YouTube.

Well... I've got some more!

I had known about some of these videos, but had completely forgotten about them when I made that post. Hence... "Just Like Us," Part Deux! If you haven't seen the first one, go a couple of posts back and check it out!

Also, I know that most of these are really old videos. However, I wanted to mention ALL of them and not leave any of them out, for completion's sake.

First off, we have the ZAC CAM, featuring Zac Efron back in 2005, when they were filming the first High School Musical. Awww, they were so adorable and young pre-fame!

Next, the Sprouse twins jump on the YouTube bandwagon! Here is Cole Sprouse (also known as Cody) in a "Not So Suite Life Mockumentary."

Then, there are some videos of the High School Musical cast goofing around during their concert tour back in 2006. The videos are supposedly being recorded by one of Lucas Grabeel's good friends who tagged along on the tour to make a documentary.

And hereeee is the first one of those! I totally love the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "come on, getcha head in the game!"

Anddd... this is Lucas in front of the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas REPRESENT!!

Speaking of High School Musical in Houston, I can't resist but to put up a shameless video of my sister and I at the HSM concert, which was being taped for the DVD back in December 2006. Yep, we're on this video probably four times. Please watch. And laugh. Yeah, I know all the lyrics and moves, got a problem with that? ;)

1:47, 2:29, 4:17 - pay attention to those times!
