The word “action” will kick-start the new “High School Musical” sequel as the cast and crew of the hit Disney Channel franchise starts filming Saturday at East High School in Salt Lake City.
Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu have reassembled with the rest of the cast and three new cast members for “High School Musical 3: Senior Year,” which will be filmed mostly at the school as well as other Salt Lake County locations. This time, the film is scheduled to open in theaters on Oct. 24 instead of on television.
In the new movie, which will be co-choreographed by Salt Lake City’s Bonny Story, who works for Odyssey Dance Theatre, the Wildcats of East High will be graduating. That leaves lovebirds Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) worrying about their relationship when each goes off to a different college.
The movie will be shot in about 40 days, nearly twice the number of filming days devoted to the first two films, and use the same Salt Lake City-based crew. Kenny Ortega, who directed the first two films as well as the Opening Ceremony for the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Games, again helms the project.

It’s only been a couple days since the last Miley photo scandal and she’s already stirring up more controversy!
The actress/singer posed for celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz for the the magazine’s new issue (which hits stands nationwide on May 6, although the article and a number of photos from the shoot — including ones with Cyrus wearing just pants and a blanket — are available on Vanity Fair‘s Web site). According to USA Today, the caption alongside the photo in the magazine reads, “Disney’s ‘Hannah Montana’ star tells VF, ‘I think it’s really artsy. It wasn’t in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That’s what she wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie. She’s so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look and you’re like, “OK.” ‘ ”
In the caption accompanying the photo on Vanity Fair‘s Web site, when asked if she or Disney were nervous about the shot, Cyrus said, “No, I mean, I had a big blanket on. And I thought, This looks pretty, and really natural.”

The Disney Response to this is that Miley was manipulated.
A Disney Channel spokesperson adds: “Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines.”

Of course, if anyone’s guilty of manipulating Miley to make money, it’s clearly Disney by a mile. But that’s another issue entirely. Personally, I think the whole issue has been blown way out of proportion. Yeah, she’s showing some skin but this photo is clearly meant to be artistic, very much unlike last week’s photos. And i think the only reason this photo is news to begin with is because of last week’s photos. I think Sean Stubblefield said it best:
What is truly outrageous is that anyone would be offended by the beautifully artistic image in question. I’ve seen the pic, and it is very tastefully–and chastefully– composed. And totally not topless. Not even close!
Her chest and abdomen are completely covered by a sheet, revealing not even a hint of her breasts, nor so much as a belly button. Although there is a mild “Geisha” impression suggested in the coloring, there is nothing overtly or gratuitously sexual about the disputed photo. This is no more risqué than if she were wearing a beach towel.

Yes, you read that right. We at DCFans have been hard at work to complete our screen cap galleries. It’s been a long couple days, but we’ve finished 18 more episodes of TSL to the website. There are now only Suite Life ten episodes remaining at this point, and I hope to have the newest episode “Romancing the Phone” up soon!

The Disney’s W.I.T.C.H. Forum and the Save W.I.T.C.H. Movement are proud to announce the creation of their official online petition and W.I.T.C.H. fanlisting.
http://savewitch.org/join/
Save Disney shows has been on the cutting edge of new techniques to save shows since the formation of the organization in 2004. One of the most unique ideas was conceived by SDS Admin Red originally for the save Kim Possible Movement. The “email petition” was a mix of a online petition and a letter campaign to create a new method of petitioning. Unfortunately, while this method was unique, it was also very labor intensive and difficult to keep up to date – especially when there where multiple shows!
That’s why we developed a new system. This new petition is based upon a “normal” online petition, but we’ve taken several steps to make it more credible than most. First of all, our system is custom made just for Save Disney Shows and there are no automated signing programs. Our system also requires users to confirm their email address before being counted. And finally, we encourage users to associate their signature with a user account on our forum, DisneysWITCH.org. We also provide a website field which can be used to link to your blog, facebook, myspace, bebo, whatever. By showing each user’s more than just a random name, we show that our list has significance!
Of course, we want to separate what Disney gets from what is publicly viewable. In this way, the publicly viewable page is like a traditional fanlisting. A way for fans to connect with other fans, while also demonstrating the strength of our movement. The page sent to Disney will contain your full name and email address in addition to the other information on the input form. But the fanlisting will NOT show your last name, and you can opt out of displaying your email publicly. We also offer you the ability to join or opt out of our email contact list, although we strongly recommend joining it so we can keep you informed. At no time will we ever sell or disclose your personal information to anyone other than the Walt Disney Company and it’s subsidiaries.
Please encourage any fans, friends, and family to also consider signing our petition. But please, do not attempt sign it multiple times or you will not be counted at all.

Racy photos of Miley Cyrus have popped up on the Web — again.
The batch of pictures included the 15-year-old lying on top of an unnamed male in just her bra and underwear. Another photo depicted Cyrus pulling down her tank top and showing her green bra.
This is not the first time racy photos of the Disney star have surfaced on the Internet. Several pictures of the ‘tween queen have made the rounds on the Web during the past six months, including shots of Cyrus nearly kissing a female friend while they shared a piece of licorice and of Cyrus posing in a bikini and in her underwear.
Cyrus recently co-hosted the CMT Music Awards with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and is the star of the hit Disney TV series “Hannah Montana.”

I was able to obtain a better quality longer version of Miley Cyrus’s new music video, so I re-capped it for the site. The new caps have been written over the ond caps, so if anyone linked to any of the old caps, you;ll ned to update your links. There are 8x as many new screencaps as we had with the old ones.

Also, The Best of Both Worlds Concert (CD + DVD) is now available!
