New York City's gets all the glory, but if you can't get excited about standing around in the cold waiting for a Thanksgiving parade to start, set your sights on SoCal. The Mother Goose Parade in San Diego County may never inspire a Super Bowl ad, but it would make for a great game of "Hey! It's That Guy!"

Grand marshals for the 2008 parade, which begins at 10 am on Sunday, November 23 are Tori Spelling (Hey! It's that reality star who was on the original 90210!) and KayCee Stroh (Hey! It's the break-dancing nerd from "High School Musical"!) Other slots for your Celebrity Bingo card should go to Chris Knight (see Spelling, only substitute "The Brady Bunch" for 90210), Mason Vale Cotton (Hey! It's that kid from "Desperate Housewives"!) and Lou Ferrigno (Hey! It's that Hulk!)

Guess in this case the parade's proximity to Hollywood brings all these guys and girls out of the woodwork. Snoopy, that's your cue to move.

Why are we so obsessed with "High School Musical: Senior Year"? We're not really sure, especially since we weren't one of the crazy children who ordered advance tickets weeks in advance.

Certainly the adorable moppets in the Disney juggernaut would never stoop to posting about that cute boy from the school play on Craigslist--and they'd be even less inclined to do it in scrubbed-clean Salt Lake City--but the rest of us, well, we're all in this together:]]> egw 2008-10-24T14:24:04-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/10/24/10452/815

It's hard to grow up: "High School Musical: Senior Year" is in theaters everywhere and Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens may never play teenagers again. (Or at least, not teens in love; the trailer for Efron's next flick "17 Again," in which he plays a younger version of Matthew Perry, hit the Internets this week.)

Nikki Finke of LA Weekly predicts HSM3 will top $40 million to win the box office this weekend against "Saw 18: Sharpening the Saw" and "Angelina Jolie Loves Babies and Hats." "This is why serious screenwriters weep," Finke says of Disney's record-breaking fall and the success of "Beverly Hills Chihuahua."

As they trudge to their private car from baggage claim at LAX, Efron and Hudgens probably aren't thinking about putting on an elaborate show for the paparazzi to celebrate the love of their characters Troy and Gabriella. They've been living out of a suitcase for two weeks in service to the almighty Disney, and now it's time to go home and make some Movies of the Week. Such a spectacle will not be seen again--at least for the next three weeks. Then "Twilight" opens. Thank God, something new to obsess over.

The High School Musical franchise strikes again today with its third installment: Senior Year. The Wildcats are facing college, and Troy and Gabriella realize they're going to be separated. The next logical step? Stage a cheeseball musical of course! Just exactly how our senior year ended....

Grab the nearest teen you owe a favor to and drop them off at the theater. We're not sure we could stomach all the singing and dancing, but we hear it's quite catchy and lives up to its musical name!

Where is the Wildcats fictional high school? In Salt Lake City, Utah, at East High School and Murray High where much of the film was shot. Read on for some cool things to check out in SLC...]]> sedona 2008-10-24T10:22:53-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/7/27/222533/836

It's good to know that despite her "High School Musical" fame, Ashley Tisdale is still happy to go on family outings. She must've been glad to be there this weekend when father Mike Tisdale caught a 480-pound marlin off the coast of Maui last week.

Tisdale wasn't on the boat with her dad when he caught the fish, but she posed for a picture for the Lahaina News with the big catch. After the jump, the incriminating family photo that shows what Papa Tisdale caught off KuiKui Point. ]]> egw 2008-07-28T08:35:24-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/7/17/22644/5268

Zac, Zac, Zac, what are you doing? You may be the Disney Channel's number-one hottie, but this is New York. You can't just show up at JFK and decide to reinvent yourself as one of those downtownies who skateboards to work.

Guess this is what tween stars do on vacation. Efron is off, along with his "High School Musical" costars, until they start press rounds ahead of the film in October. Till then, we're hoping he'll blow all our minds by filming a cameo on "Gossip Girl."

When you rule your high school with a combination of braininess and not-so-secret singing talent, TSA regulations are of no consequence! "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens rocked gladiator sandals and a giant bottle of water as she got off a plane at LAX recently.

Later, Hudgens boarded a private plane with "HSM3" costar and maybe-boyfriend Zac Efron for a Fourth of July getaway to Hawaii. They must be done filming the silver-screen sequel after stints in Utah and northern California--time for a mini-break!
