High School Musical Goes to Prom | Today's News: Our Take | 11/29/2007
Though it can hardly matter for its success, the plot of the hush-hush High School Musical 3 (hitting theaters in October) has been blabbed by leading lady Vanessa Hudgens. "It's their senior year," she tells Us, "so there's going to be graduation — and prom!" Adds director Kenny Ortega: "All of the original cast will be back. [But] I have a feeling this will be the end [for the current stars]. This franchise may move to another generation!" Oh lord — not HSM4 starring those creepy... read more

Ask Matt | 9/21/2007
After watching the dreadful Emmys, I'm wondering if there is any thought of eliminating this awards show, or at the very least completely overhauling the format. Who could honestly claim that this year's show celebrated the best in television over the past year? Let's review the problems with the Emmys: 1) The nomination process: When only three networks existed, I'm sure it wasn't difficult to decide who to nominate. But now with five major networks and dozens of free and pay-cable channels,... read more

HSM's Vanessa Hudgens: Not Tonight, Honey, I Have a Scandal | Today's News: Our Take | 9/14/2007
Perhaps afraid that Jay Leno would ask about her nudie-pic debacle, the High School Musical ingenue pulled out of her planned appearance on The Tonight Show last night. Lucky for her, Rob Schneider was not available to fill in. read more
Ask Matt | 9/10/2007
I am really hoping that Disney will do the right thing and pay the High School Musical cast what they are worth so they will all sign on for HSM3. My 7-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter absolutely love both movies, and we would all be sad if Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens sit out over money disputes. They seem like very level-headed kids, considering the whirlwind surrounding them right now. Didn't Disney make these movies for very little money? If so, who is profiting from the merchandising?... read more

In a statement to TMZ, a rep for Hudgens says, "This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public." The Enquirer, which broke the story, claims Hudgens snapped some racy... read more

I wanted to respond to your High School Musical 2 comments. Unlike Jena, I didn't mind the song-tastic start to the movie and, like you, I did mind the long songless middle. I felt that the middle was a whole lot of Teen Beat cover boy Zac Efron brooding and emoting, with not enough singing. It's when the movie finally takes an Efron break for the baseball diamond showdown between Ryan (Lucas Grabeel) and Chad (Corbin Bleu) that the movie actually gets its fun back. According to recent reports,... read more
