Who better to lord over Mischa Barton and a gaggle of other wannabe supermodels than one of the beauty biz's premiere mannequins?
Elle Macpherson, whose acting career to date is perhaps best summed up with Batman & Robin (though Sirens did have its certain charms...), has landed a recurring role in A Beautiful Life, the CW's Ashton Kutcher-produced pilot about models cohabitating in a co-ed Big Apple residence.

There's a Rockettes-style line of dancers, 99 extras in elaborate costumes and a giant Statue of Liberty head that shoots confetti. No, this isn't a hallucination. This is High School Musical 3: Senior Year. And it's the third and final day of shooting for a dance number called "I Want It All."

If you thought the kids from High School Musical couldn't possibly soar any higher, think again. On Oct. 8 Corbin Bleu literally defied gravity as part of the Northrop Grumman Weightless Flights of Discovery, a program designed to provide teachers with material that will inspire kids to pursue careers in math and science. When Bleu returned to earth, TVGuide.com was there to talk about his flight experience as well as the upcoming HSM3.
TVGuide.com: Tell me exactly what happened up there!Corbin Bleu: Well, they take you up in a modified plane that has had all the seats removed, leaving an empty space in the middle for me to move around in. What they do then is move the plane in a way that creates a very, very strong force of gravity, a lot stronger than we're used to. It's like those rides where you're st
