Just a few more updates that we just stumbled upon that I missed Hope you all don’t mind.
First up - That picture to your left - It’s the DVD Cover Ad for Another Cinderella Story starring cutie Drew Seeley and rising starlet Selena Gomez. I love the tag line they used as well - “A dance-influenced Cinderella Story”. That so goes in my shopping cart
The poster also covers ‘extras’ that are included on the DVD and Blu-Ray Disc that hits streets on September 16th. The extras include a music video, spotlights on Drew and Selena, Sing-A-Long, Spotlight on the Stepmother and also Mary: Dancing Ever After. Should be interesting to say the least. And as soon as I find a pre-order link, I’ll post it.

Okay, so, Disney’s Media department maybe need to take a course in child neurology. And now you’re all like why, right? Well, if anyone has been watching Disney Channel lately, then you understand. If you haven’t, there’s a good explanation. my excuse - there’s nothing else on and yes, that’s the truth.
So, first lesson in child neurology - even if you multiply Zac Efron’s image throughout the whole video that you’re playing, it’s not going to help anything. The Remix of Bet On It was just released and this media department decided it was a smart idea to clone Zac (not that anyone would be complaining normally) and mix it with bright, flashing lights and mix in some random images of a metropolis city. And I don’t know about any one else, but that’s just a little too much.
I was trying to find the actual video on YT to show everyone, but no luck there. Let’s just say that it’s not that impressive and my six year old niece could actually make the same thing. But, since I have my two years of medical school behind me - thank you brain for making me get out of it, I can tell you this - have a glass of water and the remote handy. Aspirin may also be used. Just change the channel for the duration of 1-2 minutes. It will be over before you know it. This, definitely, will prevent the seizure.
So, all in all, Dear Disney - fire your media guys and hire us. End of story.

Okay, so Disney really hit big on High School Musical, no? Like big, big. And not only did they cash in on the franchise with an ice show, stage tour, merchandise that’s pouring off the shelves, a Japanese kind of version, but MTV wants a part of it? Hell, why not?
MTV, not only known for bringing us the first music videos ever on television - we thank you ten fold - but also those addicting reality shows that you just can’t get enough of - The Hills, Laguna Beach, Real World, Making the Band, The Newlyweds - is now cashing in on the franchise as well. Seriously they are….and it’s starring not only Miss Taylor Townsend as the Sharpay-antagonist character, but also So You Think You Can Dance hottie, Neil Haskell. Shirtless scenes please!
But let’s get on to the good part, right? Right. So, we exchange the school for a mall, cast some Vanessa Hudgens & Zac Efron look-a-likes and cast them as the protagonist and a Gene Kelly-like janitor, throw in an actual Mrs. Montez who owns a music store, & Taylor Townsend as the girl who tries to take it all down, and I present to you: MTV’s Mall Musical! or, by MTV’s website, The American Mall.
Nina Dobrev, most known for her stint as Mia on Degrassi: The Next Generation, will play “Ally”, the Gabriella Montez-type role. Ally is the daughter of a music store owner, trying to save her mom’s store from going out of business.
Rob Hayes, hottie!, is not really well known, but damn, and this is between all you and me - tops Zac Efron ten times over! Have a look, I told ya, right?
And that’s not even the good part - MTV, I’m convinced, just wants to be Disney. Not only are they cloning High School Musical into Mall Musical, but they’re filming in Utah and they’re “borrowing” Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush for the production. Borden and Rosenbush are the producers of HSM. And just when you think I’m finished, I’m not.
The similarities between the two are uncanny. See, before Kenny Ortega, “God”, was a director he was a choreographer, right? Right. So, Borden and Rosenbush bring in Shawn Ku, who is what now? Yes! A Choreographer.
So what do we think? Will we watch it? I know, from my point of view, I liked Reeser’s character on the O.C., so I will tune in just for her. And who knows, it might surprise me.

After NYC, LA got a taste of HSM on Ice. And just like the NYC show, the Staple Center event last night was attended by the Wildcats. All, but Zac (who was in Japan) and Vanessa (who was at an appearance in Las Vegas), of the Wildcats were in attendance (including Kaycee, Ryne and Olesya). Even Drew Seeley made it.
Wildcats love abound.
More pictures of the Wildcat’s night out here. Make sure to check out Ashley, Corbin, Lucas, Monique, and Olesya’s albums as well.
Hope you all don’t mind.
