High School Marathon

Camp Rock premiered big and repeated well. Now it only has to keep it up for another, oh, two and a half years.
Like High School Musical.
Giving the Jonas Brothers' vehicle something to shoot for, the original HSM kept on keeping on last week, scoring nearly as many viewers for its 33rd—yes, 33rd—airing as a two-day-old rerun of Camp Rock.
Vanessa Hudgens: Zac Showers!

Yes, but does he use a loofah?
In a recent interview with Newsweek.com, High School Musical starlet Vanessa Hudgens comes clean, so to speak, regarding the rumors that her costar and beau Zac Efron has a slight aversion to bathing.
"He showers! He showers! Believe me, he does," insists Vanessa. "Whoever came up with that is completely idiotic."
Slightly less idiotic is...
Camp Rocks HSM, But Not HSM2

The question was: Could three Jonases take down one Zac Efron? The answer was yes—and no.
Friday night's premiere of the Jonas Brothers-populated TV musical Camp Rock averaged 8.9 million viewers, the Disney Channel said today.
That's bigger than the original, Efron-led High School Musical, which debuted before 7.7 million viewers. But it's smaller—significantly smaller—than the 17.2 million who turned out for last August's return of Efron in High School Musical 2.
HSM Was Big; Can Camp Rock Be Bigger?

So, 9-year-old girls are kinda looking forward to Camp Rock, huh?
To quote tween expert Denise Restauri, "Let me just say, omigod!"
All signs—and Camp Rock viewing parties—point to potentially record-setting ratings for the TV-movie musical premiering Friday night on the Disney Channel. The film, about rockin' music campers, as the title suggests, stars Barney & Friends alum Demi Lovato and, oh, yes, a little trio called the Jonas Brothers.
Burning Q's: Ashley's Pipes & Alicia's Noggin

Why did Ashley Tisdale cover Rick Astley's classic song "Never Gonna Give You Up"? Ashley's version is terrible, and I can't think of a possible reason for her to cover it.
—Jeremy, Oregon
The song was one of four covers recorded as part of an exclusive deal to shill Degree deodorant. You really don't think she'd bark out that tired Rickrolling anthem unless there was money behind it, did you? Onward, with more of your Burning Q's!
Who is generally known for having the most smarts in Hollywood? Book smarts, not street smarts. We all know Marky Mark has the street smarts.

A High School Musical Birthday Surprise
Happy Birthday, KayCee Stroh!
The High School Musical star’s fiancé, Ben Higginson, threw Stroh a surprise party for her 24th birthday in Salt Lake City, where she’s been filming the third installment of the HSM franchise.
Early in the night, Stroh and Higginson went to dinner with some friends, but then she was blindfolded for the second part of the celebration, a source reports.

Ashley Tisdale was ring shopping last week, but it was boyfriend Jared Murillo who walked away with the bling.
Despite reports that the couple picked up to two promise rings on a shopping trip to Na Hoku Jewelers, E! News has learned that Tisdale's already been sporting one from Murillo.
"She already has a ring, they got it in Hawaii," a clerk at Na Hoku tells E! "They ordered one for him."
