I have never seen any version of High School Musical. Besides the fact that most media manufactured for tweens these days gives me a rash, I find Vanessa Hudgens really, really hard to watch. Zac Efron isn’t much better, but at least he’s getting slightly more watchable with age (I’m waiting for the break-out role where Zac attempts to legitimize his acting by playing a retarded boy or drug addict).
But, rash-inducing as it is, you can’t deny that HSM has completely taken over the world to the point where crazy dictators are probably kicking themselves that they didn’t think of it first. Below, your first taste of HSM 3: We All Look Like We’re Made Of Wax (Note: I may have made that title up).
[Also...I would like to offer a $500,000 reward for the head of the man or woman who wrote the lyrics during the basketball game in this trailer. They must be destroyed]
With SNL’s Digital Shorts the only reason people tune in these days, Andy Samberg can do no wrong when it comes to pushing our buttons and making us laugh.
That said, did you see “Iran So Far” yet?? If not, where the hell have you been? Holy crap, Fred Armisen’s dean-on impression of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is so strangely lovable, especially in that red dress. Samberg’s goofy grin and pseudo seriousness is…refreshing to say the least (ahem, Weekend Update…).
“Iran So Far” is definitely going viral (as much as “Dick in a Box”?) in a big way, but we here at College Candy are getting the ball rolling on causing another one of Samberg’s skits from Saturday night to make a splash on You Tube. Read More »
Vanessa Hudgens may be getting fired from Disney and replaced for High School Musical 3. Last week, some rather risqué (and by risqué I mean naked) photos of Hudgens began circulating the Internet. At first, everyone was all “They’re fake! Sweet Vanessa would never let someone take nude photos!”
Disney, being the mogul of good, safe, clean fun that it is, reportedly didn’t like the idea that one of it’s stars has genitalia, and axed Hudgens for her “irresponsible” behavior.
Furthermore, there’s been no comment from her boyfriend Zac Efron, who presumably didn’t take the picture, hasn’t seen the picture, or seen a woman…ever. Read More »
Ahh, looks like Rolling Stone knows what the kids want! Even though Efron’s issue hits newsstands Friday, check out the high-res pic of Little Mr. Priss! Wow, he looks even more beautiful in sharp detail, huh?
Except, seriously, what a prude. He can’t just take the shirt off?
Zac Efron has fans. And some of them may have rabies.
Given the obscene amount of comments (perhaps the most CC has ever received on one article? At least with the most spelling mistakes) connected to my first blog about this 17-year-old sugar coated star, I’m a little afraid to have another go.
But what the hell. I’m a troublemaker.
According to half a dozen angry rants, I don’t know Zac at all, he’s an amazing actor, his body just oozes hotness, and anyone who comes close to insulting him is wasting the world’s time—because he is loved by all.
So here’s what I did. I held my breath, typed his name into Google, and ventured out onto the Internet Superhighway to find out about all things Efron. Would recent pictures prove to me that he is indeed hotter than the sun? After reading a few interviews, would I be convinced of his supposed saintly goodness? And would I ever find out who Vanessa Hudgens was?
I’ll tell you one thing, wax figure or not, Z. Efron has got more websites devoted to him than Jenna Jameson (approximately. I didn’t actually do the math). He has certifiably grabbed the Tween market in two well manicured hands, and as long as he’s attached to Disney and stays away from the coke, seems destined to make little girls weep from joy for years.
But as a 24-year-old woman, I still don’t get it. I just don’t. And you know what, I don’t think I’m supposed to. Read More »
I thought the writing was terrible, the songs were worse, and the acting was mind-numbingly bad. Granted, it was written for kids, and I guess it was fine for someone just wheening themselves off Sesame Street and the Disney Channel, but when it comes to the over-16 crowd who worship the movie, I just don’t understand.
Another thing I don’t understand is the magical pull of Zac Efron.
I mean, he kind of looks like he’s made of wax. A 12-year-old wax figurine. I know he’s almost 20, but he sure doesn’t look it, and if it wasn’t all over the place that he was dating what’s-her-name, I’d bet $100 dollars his ass was gay.
So why is he so famous? I think it’s the same reason Sanjaya and Clay Aiken (two boys who should just give up and step out of the closet) were /are so popular. Tween girls love guys who look harmless, sweet, and perfectly groomed. Read More »
