"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" has already been out for a few weeks here in the US (including two weeks at the top of the box office), but that doesn't mean Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens get a break. Their international fans calling, the once-lightfooted couple trudges through security at LAX this weekend en route to Australia, where the movie is scheduled to open December 4.

Playing travel agent for a second, it's likely the kids are skipping Russia, Romania and Turkey where the movie opens this Friday. We're thinking they're headed to South America next since the flick opens in Chile next week and Argentina and Venezuela the week after. If they go back to Europe at all, it'll be the Netherlands, where fans wait for their filmed revelations on December 10. And don't forget about Japan! Maybe that trip can be like a "High School Reunion" in February.

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.

Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Corbin Bleu (destined to be voted Most Changed from the original "High School Musical") and Ashley Tisdale hold up celebratory cookies at the German premiere of "High School Musical: Senior Year" in Munich over the weekend. Director Kenny Ortega, whose biggest credit before helming the series was creating the beloved box-office bomb "Newsies," also walked the red carpet with them (but he was cookie-less).

The premiere was held at the Mathäser Filmpalast which later this month will host the domestic premiere of "Hellboy 2" and the new James Bond flick, "Ein Quantum Trost."

Sounds so much better than "Quantum of Solace," right?

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron board a private jet to France to promote their forthcoming movie, "High School Musical 3."

France is just one of several countries which will see HSM3 before we will, but only by a little. So if you're a very wealthy teen with access to a private jet, fly to France, the UK, Egypt or the Philippines to catch its release on October 22.

That way you can brag to all your friends on return that you were the first to find out whether Troy and Gabriella go through with the experiment to clone each other so they never have to be apart. (Spoiler?)

Wait, Sweden gets it first? Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens bravely risk the ire of American tweens by leaving for Stockholm via LAX to promote their forthcoming flick, "High School Musical 3: Senior Year."

To the best of our knowledge, "HSM3" is the final chapter in the Disney phenomenon that began as a January TV movie and spawned a world of merchandise and a reality show, locking Efron, Hudgens and costars like Ashley Tisdale out of the Disney stable.

Tisdale shot a New Zealand-set children's movie earlier this year, but Efron's turn as a young stage actor in Richard Linklater's latest project "Me and Orson Welles" got just lukewarm reviews. Hudgens is still known as the one with the nude-picture scandal.

Make way for "High School Musical 4: The One Where They All Magically End Up at the Same College"?

After hitting the MTV Video Music Awards with her "High School Musical" costars, Vanessa Hudgens hits the airport with her family for a forthcoming concert in Monterey, Mexico. Her white pants travel well from sunny LA to frigid airplane, as long as she doesn't spill anything on them.

If she's planning to go to Mexico a lot, Hudgens might want to look into getting one of the new passport cards--but only if she's driving there. The $45 card is being pushed as a smaller, cheaper alternative to getting a passport and will be great for folks who commute across either border, but do we really want yet another ID? We'll stick with our passport, thanks.
