I wanted to take a moment to wish a belated happy birthday to the lovely Emily Osment who turned 20 on Saturday March 10th. She’s not a teenager anymore.

I would also like to wish a happy birthday to YouTube sensation Christina Grimmie who turned 18 today (March 12th)!

And finally, just in case I forget, I would like to wish an early Happy Birthday to Brenda Song who turns 24 on March 27th.

High School Musical cutie Olesya Rulin turns 26 on March 17th, so I’d like to wish her an early Happy Birthday as well.

Thanks for everything ladies!

From the archives, here are some awesome pics of High School Musical’s Olesya Rulin. (D23 Expo Recap Day 3 will be up on Monday.)

This Russian cutie was one of my favorite parts of the HSM series.

… especially in parts 2 and 3 where they expanded her part.

These particular pics were from the 2008 Creative Arts Emmy Awards in LA.

She has some pretty awesome Cleavage in that black dress, am I right?

As always, click any pic for the full set.

Last week, Olesya Rulin posted this photo of herself in the pool on twitter.

HSM3 pool party Jason and I. Ohhh @Corbinbleu @MollsGrayy in the backround

If I do say so myself, Olesya looks pretty good. Let’s hope she gets some work post High School Musical!

Disney Channel Fans,

I am proud to announce the nominations phase for the first ever DC Fans awards!

This contest will let you, the readers, chose your favorite DC actor and actress. And if they happen to make a cute couple, even better!

But before we get to the voting, it’s time for the nominations. And listen up, ’cause there are some limits on whom can be nominated.

To be eligible, the actor or actress being nominated must be a recurring character on a Disney Channel Original Series or play a major role in a Disney Channel Original Movie. We will define “recurring character” as any character appearing in three or more episodes of any single DCOS, as documented by IMDb. We will define “major character” as any character appearing on the first page of actors of any single DCOM, as documented by IMDb.

Each user may nominate two people by posting a comment on this post. You may nominate two girls, a guy and a girl, or two guys. As DC stars are nominated, I will add them to the official list at the end of this post. Once an star has been nominated, you may not renominate them or anything like that.

And as a special bonus, the person or persons who nominate the two eventual winners of the contest, will receive a special DC fans themed prize.

Nominations are due in by 12:01 Pacific time next Saturday morning (05/16/09). Details about the next stage of the competition will be posted soon after.

And because it’s my game, I think I’ve earned the right to first nominations and I choose Selena Gomez and David Henrie, both of Wizards of Waverly Place.

I have some guesses on whom will be nominated next, and I’m anxious to see if I’m right.

Well, it took me long enough, but I am proud to present over four thousand High School Musical 3 Screencaps! I absolutely loved this film, and I think it was a great way to cap off the series.

And I’m not ashamed to admit that I teared up a couple times. Especially at the rooftop dance scene.

There are great caps of the big six characters: Troy Bolton (Zac Efron),

Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens),

Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale),

Chad Danforth (Corbin Bleu),

Ryan Evans (Lucas Grabeel),

and Taylor McKessie (Monique Coleman).

Although I wonder if Taylor is really deserving of being a “big six” character. Would anyone have really noticed if she had been replaced with a large rock? LOL

We also got a few good shots of Kelsi (Olesya Rulin),

and Tiara Gold (Jemma McKenzie-Brown).

Hats off to our wildcats!

(And when they make HSM4 they better bring Sharpay back after they left the door open for it.)

Hey Wildcats,

I just wanted to remind everyone that HSM3 comes out on DVD February 17, 2009.

I’ve already pre-ordered mine on Amazon. Right now it’s only $15.99 for the basic DVD.

Last August High School Musical actress Olesya Rulin (whom played piano player Kelsi) attended an event called “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute!” at Santa Monica beach.

And don’t get me wrong, I knew that this Russian girl was hot, but like, wow.

Simply stunning.

It would be nice if she’s able to get a decent staring role in a direct to DVD film.

I was very happy to find a new website dedicated to helping young people achieve their dreams. The group also runs a monthly contest, and this month celebrates the release of High School Musical 3 with all five nominees being stars of the show.

The nominees are:

Chris Warren Jr - Plays Zeke Baylor in High School Musical 3

Son of actress Brook Kerr performing ran through the blood and through the family. Chris already had a pedigree in film acting before joining the High School Musical with performances in films like ‘Love and basketball’ and ‘Hardball.’ He has also had appearances and roles in various children’s and daytime TV programmes.

Corbin Bleu - Plays Chad Danforth in High School Musical 3

This nineteen year old has successfully managed to break the acting and music industry since his first appearance in High School Musical. Corbin is one of the few HSM stars to get work in another Disney Original Film as he followed up High School Musical with a starring role in Jump In. This film helped him launch his debut solo track “Push it to the Limit” which burst in to the top twenty in America.

Jemma McKenzie-Brown – Plays Tiara Gold in High School Musical 3

Jemma is the latest addition to the High School Musical cast debuting in the third instalment as the new character of Tiara Gold a mini Sharpay. She is also the only British actress with a main role in the film franchise. Jemma has also appeared in ‘The Amazing Mrs. Prichard’ and ‘M.I High.’ Jemma is a student of the Sylvia Young Theatre School.

Olesya Rulin – Plays Kelsi Nielsen in High School Musical 3

Originally from Russia Olesya immigrated to America at a young age. Since then she has established herself as a young actress securing her first major acting role at fifteen. Olesya has appeared in a handful of Disney Original films outside of High School Musical as well as soap operas. She also has starring roles lined up in films with Jessica Simpson and Billy Ray Cyrus due out over the next year.

Lucas Grabeel – Plays Ryan Evans in High School Musical 3

Lucas has been involved in many Disney productions and as well as being an actor is a singer songwriter having worked on various Disney soundtracks. Following on from his work on High School Musical Lucas has secured various guest roles on a variety of hit TV series like Smallville and Boston Legal. Lucas is also involved in three films due for release over the next year.
