Good News: President Obama is big on change. Bad News: He’s also big on addressing the nation and continually reminding us that we’re screwed. Which by the way, we already get. So how about cutting us a little slack by allowing us to drown our sorrows in television instead of bumping new episodes of HOUSE, CHUCK and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER to next week and pushing THE BIG BANG THEORY back to 9:30PM?

Good News: Zac Efron is getting set to host SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE on April 11. Bad News: Vanessa Hudgens is still waiting on that callback for an Arby’s commercial. Awkward. [Source]
Good News: It’s official! Rob Thomas will pitch Warner Bros. Studio on the highly anticipated VERONICA MARS movie next week. Bad News: For actor Michael Muhney. RIP Sherrif Lamb. [Source]
With HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 making the jump to the big screen today, this morning’s question of the day should come as no surprise. Simply put, will you be braving the hordes of screaming tweens to watch Zac, Vanessa, Ashley and Corbin graduate in style? Or will you sheepishly wait until the movie is released on DVD as to not have to face the humiliation and awkward looks of being the only twenty-something male in a movie theater comprised of eight year old girls? Ummm… not that this TV Addict was planning on seeing HSM 3 today. Because really, I’m so stoked for SAW V! I swear… I don’t know how I accidently walked into this theater…
If you in any way closely related to a tween, you not only know about HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3, you probably have already promised yourself to take them to see it in theatres. If you’re anything like me, you actually won’t mind taking them because it provides a great excuse for you to see it without any embarrassment. Even if the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL series is a bit silly and obviously aimed at a demographic more than a decade younger than myself, the musical fan in me can’t help but appreciate how infectiously fun the films are and how they signal a moderate return of the musical into popular culture. Needless to say, come October 24th I’ll be there opening night with niece, probably with a stupid grin of anticipation in my face. Till then, feel free to check out my review of the first two films over at MONDOmagazine.

Ready to hear the song that will be stuck in your head for the rest of the summer? If so, click above to check out the inevitable first smash from Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 “You Are the Music in Me.” Not surprisingly, it’s catchy.
Oh, and don’t even begin to pretend you have no idea what this HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL is all about. Whether you’re in High School, University, or like this TV Addict — simply far too old to be watching the Disney channel. We know you know all the words to ‘Breaking Free’ as well as the choreography to ‘Stick to the Status Quo.’ As the song goes, ‘We’re All in This Together.’ So we won’t tell if you don’t!
Gossip, rivalry, young Hollywood, jealousy, short skirts, tension, love lost…no this is not something by way of Perez Hilton but the New York Times!
The NYT published a great story this weekend on the start of rehearsals for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2. Titled “Back To School” reporter Jacques Steinberg reveals some details about the upcoming film and perhaps some of the cracks beginning to form. Gossip aside it is a fascinating insight into the phenomenon known as HSM. From the story, the crystallization of the idea:
