New Details on High School Musical 4
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Cable, Gossip,
It’ll be West Side Story meets East High for the latest installment of High School Musical.
Although the major players from Disney’s hit trilogy have decided to move on, the studio is continuing with plans to extend its franchise. The fourth movie - aimed once again for the small screen - will focus on a new student roster. According to the press release, fans will have a “classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights” to look forward to.
While it’s possible some of the characters introduced during Senior Year will appear in the made-for-TV film, no casting decisions have yet been revealed. The only vets announced so far are screenwriter Peter Barsocchini and executive producers Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush.
Production on High School Musical 4 is set to begin later this year in time for a 2010 debut.

HBO Offers Free Access to Obama’s Opening Ceremony
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Specials, ABC, Cable, HBO, Cable/Satellite, News,
UPDATE: You can find a list of performers for that HBO program here.
Although most of us are currently without tickets for Barack Obama‘s big day, those with cable or satellite service will have front row seats to the first major event of Inauguration Week.
On January 18, HBO will exclusively air the festivities from the Lincoln Memorial. The program is expected to be filled with A-list performers including a rumored appearance from Bruce Springsteen. Unlike the channel’s coverage back in 1993 (when Bill Clinton was welcomed into office), the 90-minute event will also be open to non-subscribers.
On Monday the 19th, the Disney Channel will be the sole broadcaster of “Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future.” The event honoring military families will be attended by Michelle Obama and Jill Biden. Then on Tuesday the 20th, ABC will have exclusive access to “The Neighborhood Ball: An Inauguration Celebration.” That is where the Obamas are expected to perform their first dance of the evening.

Watch the Official Video for Jonas Brothers’ Lovebug
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Pop,
In case you weren’t planted in front of the Disney Channel yesterday, here’s your chance to watch the official video for “Lovebug.”
The Jonas Brothers clip - the latest for their A Little Big Longer album - features actors Camilla Belle (10,000 BC) and Josh Boswell in a period love story. (Those who are old enough to remember the ‘80s might feel like they are watching Elton John’s “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues.”)
After the jump, you can see the trio briefly talk about the making of the video.

After spending a few days cooped up at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Shia LaBeouf has finally left his confines for a smoke break, which was more than enough for the paparazzi to snag a few photos of him post-surgery.
Hollywood’s leading man has been quite the center of attention since he and his costar Isabel Lucas were involved in an accident early Sunday morning.

Transformers Director Rushes to Shia LaBeouf’s Defense
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Drunk, Legal Issues, Parties,
As we reported earlier, Transformers 2 star Shia LaBeouf may not be at fault for the accident he found himself in early Sunday morning, but he is still facing DUI charges.
Seeing as the powers that be apparently don’t want to see Shia turn out like his fellow Disney stars (i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears), it appears as if his blockbuster-making pal, Michael Bay, has come to his rescue!
The Transformers director adamantly insists that his beloved actor was not intoxicated that night:
“He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before… We had a little heart to heart the week before when he bought a brand new motorcycle. I [said], ‘Dude! You cannot ride that motorcycle! If you crash, you put 1,500 people out of work.’ He said, ‘Ok, I won’t ride it, I won’t ride it. I’ll just drive my truck’.”

LifeStyles Condoms Wants Miley Cyrus To Talk About Sex
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Child Stars, Style, Charity, Rumors,
And just when I thought that the world could possibly go for at least a week without Miley Cyrus news, the troubled pre-teen is catapulted into the spotlight yet again—thanks to a condom company, at that!
It was reported that Lifestyles Condoms wants the Hannah Montana star to be their new spokesgirl.
“Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex,” says the company’s VP of marketing, Carol Carrozza. “We believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set — and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America.”
As hilariously entertaining as this latest Miley Cyrus “news” is, one can never forget about that slightly powerful and daunting company called Disney, which is always shielding their cash cow at every constant news flash. In this case, what are they going to do? Deny everything, of course.
“We never received an offer, nor would she consider the offer,” her rep stated, although judging by all of those photos, Miley seems like she would be the best gal for promoting sex!

Young Hollywood’s troubles continue as yet another one is arrested for DUI.
No stranger to poor decisions himself, Disney favorite Shia LaBeouf will have to put filming the Transformers sequel on hold, as he is being kept at Cedars Sinai Medical Center for an injured left hand, as well as being charged for a DUI.
Officials confirm that the accident occurred early Sunday morning in Hollywood. LaBeouf was making a left turn when his vehicle collided into another; his left hand will require surgery as the other two women involved suffered minor injuries.

Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez: The Next Hottest Couple
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Hook-ups,
Omigawd - I can’t get all these tweens straight. I swear it took me months to figure out that Miley Cyrus was the same person as Hannah Montana. Now I’m having to sort out the difference between three other rising stars.
Repeat after me: Demi Lovato is the chick who just starred with the Jonas Brothers on Camp Rock, Miranda Cosgrove is the star of Nickelodeon’s iCarly and Selena Gomez is on the Disney series Wizards of Waverly Place. (I have not watched any of these programs.)

Disney Plans Camp Rock Sequel
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Prime Time, Cable, Ratings,
Although the movie didn’t pull in High School Musical 2-sized numbers, Camp Rock did well enough on Friday night to warrant interest in a sequel.
The Disney Channel original, which featured the red-hot Jonas Brothers, debuted to 8.9 million viewers making it the highest-rated non-sequel to air on that network. (HSM2 had 17.2 million glued to their sets last August.) Rock also outperformed anything from the Top 5 networks on that same night.
Assuming a script is finalized soon (and schedules are coordinated), the key players could get back to work on the sequel’s production sometime next year.
