Hey there, xochameleonxo here taking you behind the scenes and up close and personal with the East High Wildcats!!Check it out!

**snagged from the May/June 2008 Issue of J-14**- New Cast Members!

"In HSM3, Troy and the bunch will be graduating seniors, and three sophomore Wildcats will prowl the East High halls. Who's playing them?"

"Jemma McKenzie-Brown: This relatively unknown British babe plays Tiara[Gold], a Sharpay Evans mini-me who's just as fierce and fiery."

"Matt Prokop: You might remember this shaggy-haired stud from a small part he had on Hannah Montana[Episode:Schooly Bully]. Matt was cast as the Troy wannabe, Jimmy "The Rocket" Soto[[which was later changed to Zara]]"

"Justin Martin: Justin starred on Broadway in The Lion King and on TV shows like Malcom In The Middle. In HSM3, he's Donny Fox, a basketball player who idolizes Chad Danforth." I think this statement isn't true because in the movie, his character is practically unknown. All of those scenes where he "idolized" Chad must've been cut out/deleted. Look for them on the DVD!

***also from the May June Issue of J-14*** "Is it true that Selena Gomez turned down a chance to star in HSM3?"

True: "Wizards' Selena Gomez has done the unthinkable! She passed on a part in Disney's HSM threequel. "High School Musical is cute, and it would be a great opportunity for someone else," Selena says. "But I passed on it because I didn't want to do it. I plan to take other roles in acting that are challenging for me. After Disney, I want to be taken seriously as an actress for many years." Selena recently shot Princess Protection Program with her BFF, Camp Rock's Demi Lovato, which will air on Disney in September." But it hasn't yet, so we'll just have to see when it comes:)

*From Twist's "Special VIP Access" Issue(August 2008)*

"Zac and V's Sporty Date!"

"Zac and V spill on HSM3 and their fave kisses!"

"Zac and Vanessa just wrapped up HSM3:Senior Year and they're taking a second to relax! "I'm still hurting, we're all kind of limping around!" Vanessa jokes of the grueling HSM 3 dance numbers. Before returning to L.A., the couple sat courtside at a Utah Jazz[Zac's favorite team!] basketball game. "The games are fun!" Zac says. The cute couple was canoodling throughout the entire game. Our cams even caught the couple mid-smooch! "My favorite kisses happen when I've taken it nice and slow," Zac recently shared! Wowza! So what's up next for the real-life Troyella? Vanessa's summer tour! She'll be singing tunes off her Identified album at state fairs all across the country in August. Then, HSM3 mania swings into full effect when the flick premeires in theaters everywhere October 24!"

"Zac and V's Sad Goodbye!"

"So emotional! The star couple gets teary-eyed after filming their final HSM3 scene!"

"TWIST is your official source for all things HSM3: Senior Year- we just got back from the set in Salt Lake City, Utah! Being at the real East High was a blast. We saw the famous cafeteria, Sharpay's locker, the basketball court- everything! But the best part was seeing how heartfelt the cast was while filming. "I was suprised by how emotional I got after filming the final scene." Zac spilled to TWIST when we hung with him in an East High classroom. "We grew up together, all of us, in a lot of different ways." V's feeling sad, too- she doesn't want to leave Zac's side! "I'm such a hopeless romantic," she recently shared. "You can feel the emotions Gabriella has for Troy. Zac and I have done three movies together now, and we can basically do anything in front of each other. We're so comfortable, we're not afraid to take cjamces." Luckily, Zanessa will live on off screen!"

"Vanessa's a much better dancer than I am," Zac recently spilled.

FICTION

"When fans found out that Corb and V are touring together this summer, rumors swirled that Zac felt left out. Corbin even admitted to TWIST that he was excited to bond with Vanessa! "It's going to be cool with just the two of us," he tells us. "It should be fn!" But the HSM co-stars are truly just pals. Plus, V always keeps in touch with Z via text. No drama here!

"Ash's Dance Drama"

:D:D:D:D:D:D ADD :D:D

"The real story: Why the East High prom was seriously stressful for Ash!"

"When we saw Ashley walk into the Wildcat's gym to shoot the HSM3 prom scene in a flirty pink dress and matching gloves, we couldn't help but notice she looked nervous! Playing divalicious Sharpay is hard work- and we saw firsthand the crazy way Ash had to turn up the drama factor while filming the scene! "Sharpay wants to be prom queen," Ashley recently revealed. "She didn't get the musical in the first movie. She didn't get Troy in the sequel. She needs to be prom queen!" But Ash wasn't so high maintenance at her own school dance. In fact, she brought her BFF as a date! "It's always cool to go with your girlfriends because then you can dance with everyone," Ash spills exclusively to TWIST. "I had so much fun!" We won't spoil the suprise of who Sharpay brings as her date- you can see for yourself when the flick hits theaters Oct. 24!

"HSM3: Who Cried The Most?"

"As we reported in our last issue, several HSM3 stars balled[bawled?] while filming the "All In This Together" reprise. The most emotional, hands-down, was Monique Coleman, Corbin Bleu tells us.

We love her for it," he explains. "It's not like she's sappy at all. Monique has the biggest heart. She's like my big sister. She's a very genuine person and very caring to everybody."

*****J-14 oct/nov 2008****

"An HSM rift?"

" In Utah, Corbin Bleu spilled a major BTS secret to me. During HSM2, the cast wasn't as tight as everyone though- in fact, "Gotta Go My Own Way" could've been their theme song. "With the first movie, we got along really well- it was a new experience. The second one was a different situation. Everybody had a ton of stuff going on because our lives changed a lot.We were a little more separated, but we were still close friends. We didn't hang out as much." But filming HSM3, the gang was "the closest we've ever been."

HSM3 SET SPILLAGE *all in navy blue*

"Sharpay: bossier and brattier?" ((QandA with Ashley Tisdale))

"Sporting designer sunglasses while lounging in a director's chair and cooling her feet off in a kiddie pool, Ashley Tisdale cradles her adorable gold malti-poo, Maui, as she dishes about her dramatic, diva-licious character Sharpay Evans and her own senior year memories."

"Q: What's up with Sharpay in HSM3?

A: She is kind of over Troy. She's trying to get her brother back on her side because he is totally with the Wildcats and friends with everybody. There's one musical number where I have to reel him back in over to my side because I use him in a way to get a Julliard scholarship. She loves him though- he's her brother. He can see through it half the time. She has her new little friends, like Tiara, her assistant. I am very good at bossing Tiara around.

Q: Describe Sharpay's style senior year.

A: She still has rhinestones and sequins obviously on all of her clothes, but it's definitely more mature and sophisticated.

Q: What are your musical numbers like in the third film?

A: There is one big musical between Ryan and Sharpay. Sharpay is trying to reel Ryan back in, and it takes place in the cafeteria. It's just humongous! It has all different styles of dance in it, and I have like five different wardrobe changes- which is awesome.

Q: Why do you think Sharpay is a fan fave when she's pretty much the villian?

A: It's really funny... She is the complete opposite of me in real life, so maybe kids think that she is so opposite of them that they are interested in what she is like. She is the villian, but I think you lover to hate her in a way."

""I was the shortest person in my graduating class," Ashley reveals."

"Zac: "The Worst Mistake Of My Life!""

"During our set visit, Zac stopped by the East High teachers' lounge to reveal how he really had to get his head in the game during rehearsals. "I showed up to rehearsals a few weeks late because I was working on a different project [possibly his coming out movie 17 again? co-star michelle tractenburg? could be!]- the worst mistake of my life," Zac tells J-14. "I was thrown into a number of dances, which were extremely difficult. I was a little bit intimidated, but after a few weeks of rehearsals, we got it done. I worked closely with [our choreographers] Chuckie and Bonnie. It was tough. I spent a lot of time in the hot tub.""

""I can't imagine when people waltzed for fun, because it's really difficult," Zac says."

"Corbin's Prom Nightmare:

"I've been to nine proms!" Corbin says. "I've been to a prom on the Queen Mary[ship], a prom at a bar, a prom in South Dakota, Chicago, L.A., everywhere. I went to one at an extremely strictCatholic school where nuns walked around and put a ruler between us if we got too close. That was insane!" Corbin's most horrifying prom:" I wasn't at high school in a while, and it was scary. It was uncomfortable to stand. The room formed a circle. and kids were like, 'Guys, dance. Do your thing.' It just felt awkward. We got watergunned after that.""

"CB's best prom advice is get our on the dance floor and forget everyone is there."

"Fitness Freaks:

Corbin and Monique pimped out their hotel gym with new equipment. "We bought a medicine ball, a cowbell and bands." CB spills."

"Zanessa: Fazed By Fame?:

"They're big movie stars now and getting big paycheck," Bart Johnson(Coach Bolton) says. "But they are still the sweetest, kindest, most sincere, genuine people.""

"Prank War:

"Be careful at base camp-Zac and Vanessa's bathroom sink is filled with water balloons." HSM3 newcomer Matt Prokop warned us. Sure enough, one bounced off of Corbin's back.

"Food Fight:

"After we had been filming for 15 hours, we were starving at went to hunt down food in Salt Lake City in the middle of the night" Kaycee Stroh says. "We ended up at Sonic outside of the lunch tables, having a food fight. That was a bonding moment.""

HSM4 NEWS!!!!

"HSM3 sophomore Jemma McKenzie-Brown's background is inspiring new storylines for HSM4.

Bart Johnson(Coach Bolton) and newbie Matt Prokop have been vying for new sports. "In HSM2 they brought in golf and baseball," Matt tells J-14. "I'd like to see soccer in the fourth one. I've been playing since I was two, and Jemma's British." In the U.K., soccer is popular, and people drive on the other side of the road. "Maybe Coach Bolton could teach driver's ed?" Bart says.
