It's High School Musical minus the high school...and most of the stars.
While Zac Efron and other key castmembers try to matriculate to more adult roles, the Mouse House remains hell-bent on milking every dime out of its megahit franchise, recruiting Ashley Tisdale to front a new sequel, Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure.
The new original movie will see the 24-year-old actress reprise her role as the diva-esque drama queen (she's the sole returning HSM player) and lead a new cast of unknowns, who will be earning much less than the pop princess. Tisdale is also aboard as executive producer. Shooting starts this summer for a 2011 premiere.
What passes for a plot finds Sharpay (accompanied by her dog, Boi) making her way from East High to Broadway, where she meets her match in a rival starlet. Singing, dancing and endless commercial tie-ins ensue.

Who knows, maybe it will actually be good and Ashley could be up for some green slime come next year. In the meantime, take a peek at our 2010 Kids' Choice Awards gallery.
