‘Hannah Montana’ Tour Outselling The Police, Springsteen
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Cable,
It’s not uncommon for a Disney movie to outperform its competition—so should we be surprised that the hottest concert tour this year is being headlined by a Disney Channel star?
The Hannah Montana (a.k.a. Miley Cyrus) tour is so successful, scalpers are already selling her concert tickets at five times the face value. Seats for all 54 stops have already sold out—and in several cases, in near record fashion. (It took only four minutes in the Atlanta-area and eight minutes in Memphis.) According the Associated Press, her tour is outselling The Police, Bruce Springsteen and Justin Timberlake.
Okay, the Spice Girls did just sell out their London concert in only 38 seconds—but let’s remember: Hannah/Miley’s only 14.

Singer George Michael To Appear on ABC Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC,
Almost 10 years after his infamous public bathroom arrest, George Michael will once again be appearing on American television sets—but this time, he won’t be the subject of a news report. The singer is scheduled to appear in ABC’s mid-season drama, Eli Stone.
Stone stars Jonny Lee Miller (a.k.a. Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband #1) as a man who suffers hallucinations and believes he might be a prophet. (Seeing visions of George Michael singing ‘Faith’ will do that to a guy.) Although Michael was originally scheduled to be in the pilot only, the producers have since asked him to sing and act in two more episodes.
Interestingly enough, George told the BBC recently that he has been unsuccessful in giving up his marijuana habit. I wonder what ABC’s parent company (Disney) will think about that news…

Are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens Over?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Cable, Gossip, Rumors,
It almost sounds scripted, doesn’t it? Two relatively unknown actors get cast in the leading roles for a Disney TV movie. Wonder of wonders, the movie becomes one of Disney’s biggest hits, spawning a best-selling album, huge ratings, and sequels. For the High School Musical fans out there, it was just the icing on the cake that Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens took their on-screen love to a real-life relationship. But now, OK! Magazine says it’s all over - Efron ended the relationship at least a week ago. Friends of the stars, however, say they don’t think it’s all really finished for the budding young couple.

Recap of Vanessa Hudgens Nude Photo Fiasco
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Cable, Talent, Gossip,
Vanessa Hudgens has been getting her fair share (or even more) of media attention lately. That’s what happens when naked photos get “leaked” to the Internet. Something similar worked for Paris Hilton and American Idol’s Antonella Barba (who stole the spotlight not for her singing, but for her photos). Because the photos haven’t hurt, but helped, Hudgens, some of the media is saying it might have all been some sort of master plan instigated by the young star. Disney is trying to reduce press by ordering stars of the High School Musical franchise not to talk to reporters about Hudgens, as Kaycee Stroh refused to comment to reporters at an Emmy party. Gossip says that Hudgens and on- and off-screen boyfriend Zac Efron might not be eager to take part in High School Musical 3 as it is, though Disney has made no announcements about Hudgens in the movie either way. Hudgens is currently being sued by her own lawyer for unpaid attorney fees.

Vanessa Hudgens Lawsuit Trouble
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Kids, Music, Talk Shows, Cable, Gossip, Rumors,
Already wondering if she’ll be cashing another paycheck from Disney, Vanessa Hudgens is now facing a different financial matter. According to TMZ, the High School Musical star is reportedly delinquent in paying her attorney’s legal fees. Of the $5 million he’s apparently helped her secure, lawyer Brad Schall claims he is still owed $150,000. One sold photo could take care of all that.
On a side note—our latest girl done wrong has provided my favorite ‘Quote of the Week’ thus far. During an interview on The Tyra Banks Show yesterday (something taped before her scandal), Vanessa said: “I’m very low-key. I keep my personal life to myself.”
No further comment needed.

More Vanessa Hudgens Photos Released
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Late Night, Music, Cable, NBC, Gossip,
As we reported earlier, Vanessa Hudgens canceled a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show yesterday. While it was safe to assume she was still embarrassed about her infamous nudie pic, it turns out she may have been reacting to another round of photos altogether.
Former friends everywhere have been opening up their shoeboxes and sharing their favorite stills of the High School Musical star. The latest ones released yesterday, reminiscent of the racy photos Lindsay Lohan took with Vanessa Minnillo, at least have her fully clothed this time. One photo shows Vanessa almost connecting tongues with another girlfriend while a second apparently shows her touching a friend’s breast.
We can only hope Disney was apprised of all her photos before they issued their (weak) statement of support; I don’t imagine they will stop coming out of the woodwork anytime soon.

Vanessa Hudgens Invited to Join ‘Girls Gone Wild’
Joe Francis, head of the Girls Gone Wild franchise, has reportedly extended a business opportunity Vanessa Hudgens’ way. Francis—who is currently locked up in Nevada for just one of his many legal woes—proved that even behind bars, he likes to help poor girls out. Should Vanessa need some financial help, she could make a nice $500,000 just by joining the GGW family. Well Isn’t that sweet?
Before I go on, let me make a few things clear: #1) I think Vanessa was a complete idiot for snapping a photo that would inevitably be leaked. #2) I would never advise her to be associated with anyone named Joe or Francis. But here’s a thought: Should Hudgens want to avoid being typecast in the Disney mold, would her ‘unfortunate’ situation give her the opportunity to break free?

Did Vanessa Hudgens Send Photos to Drake Bell?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Cable/Satellite, Gossip,
An inside source is now telling People magazine that Vanessa Hudgens’ photo session links way back to another teen idol: Drake Bell, star of Nickelodeon‘s Drake & Josh.
Prior to her current stardom, Hudgens reportedly snapped and emailed several racy photos of herself to the actor. While it’s unclear if the two ever dated in real-life, she did appear in a 2006 episode of his show as his girlfriend. (Of course we all know by now that she is currently dating her High School Musical co-star, Zac Efron).
Bell’s rep claims that Drake never received those photos…though I’m sure he has by now.

Disney Reacts to Vanessa Hudgens Nude Photo
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Rumors,
Well 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 High School Musical star. Money had been a rumored factor in the ongoing HSM3 negotiations—and my guess is that Disney 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 Entourage?

In a follow up to the ‘unfortunate’ picture exposed yesterday, High School Musical‘s Vanessa Hudgens has released a lengthier statement through her publicist (or rather, her publicist released a statement written on Vanessa’s behalf):
“I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends.”
Step One of ‘Reputation Repair’ is now officially complete. I expect an exclusive one-on-one interview with an ABC (Disney) affiliated reporter to follow shortly.
