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"?
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!
Pity the teen star whose fame is bigger than he is. Tweens' number-one prom date Zac Efron (of "High School Musical" fame) went all the way to the Isle of Man to make his latest movie, "Me and Orson Welles," directed by "Before Sunrise" auteur Richard Linklater
But Efron's fans have followed him even there. So he's got himself 24-hour bodyguards, making photos like these the last his fans might ever see of him without being dwarfed by a six-foot-plus angry dude.
In the movie, Efron plays a 17-year-old discovered by the famous film director to star in his stage version of "Romeo and Juliet." It's funny, because his character in "High School Musical" is just like a modern-day Romeo--except without the tragedy.
Drew Barrymore presented an award to the cast of Juno at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Saturday. Did you make it this year? Halle Berry took her pregnant self there to receive an award for "Things We Lost in the Fire." Zac Efron hit the red carpet along with "High School Musical" costar and possible girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, before joining his "Hairspray" costars for a sing-along screening of the movie musical.
Juno, this year's Little Indie That Could about a Minneapolis teen's unplanned pregnancy, finished third at the box office this weekend and picked up three Golden Globe nominations. Don't worry, we'll still cover next week's Golden Globes ceremony even if the stars don't attend--and even though our invite got lost in the mail.
