High School Musical 3 is a Go

The final piece of the High School Musical puzzle has reportedly fallen into place. Zac Efron has signed a $3 Million contract to play HSM3’s heartthrob, Troy.  The other stars of the show had already agreed to return, most likely with pay raises - although Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Anne Hudgens aren’t revealing how much […]

Bye Bye November
