As tension mounts between the two rival squads, Carson falls for fellow cheerleader Penn, not realizing he's a Jet. When Brooke discovers the budding romance, she raises the stakes by challenging Carson to a one-on-one cheer-off. A spectacular "cheer fighting" sequence erupts into a no-holds-barred brawl and cheerleaders on both sides are suspended from the competition.

Zac Efron Seventeen again?

It looks like "High School Musical" Star Zac Efron is training for his new movie, "Seventeen", in which he will play a man who suddenly becomes 17 years old again.

Zac has been spotted training around Los Angeles shooting some hoops to get himself in shape. So it looks like in his spare time he is well and truly a basketball fan.

Hairspray is being Honored!!!

The Palm Springs International Film Festival will honor "Hairspray" with the Ensemble Performance Award!

The Festival Gala Ceremony will take place on January 5 at the Palm Springs Convention Center; John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Allison Janney, Zac Efron, Nikki Blonsky and others are expected to attend.

As previously announced, Nikki Blonsky will receive the festival's Rising Star Award. A free outdoor sing-a-long screening of "Hairspray" will be presented to the public, January 4 at 6 PM in Sunrise Park, Palm Sprin

Zac and Vanessa shun limelight!

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens did very few red-carpet interviews Monday night at a splashy party in Hollywood celebrating the Dec. 11 DVD release of "High School Musical 2." They also skipped the press junket. So, are they becoming a couple of prima donnas?

Not a chance, sources confided. But because these two young stars are so hounded by paparazzi everywhere they go, there is a fear of overexposure when there is still another "High School Musical" movie to make.

"We're doing 'High School Musical 3' for the big screen," director Kenny Ortega told me this week. "We're back at East High, final year, and we're gonna bring in some new characters and have some fun. Mix it up a bit."

When Kenny launched the franchise last year, Zac and Vanessa and the rest of the cast were unknowns. Now, they have surpassed the likes of the Olsen twins and Nicole Richie as bigger gets for paparazzi.

I wondered if the director ever worries that it might be too much attention, too soon, for his young cast.

"Yeah, I do," he admitted. "Not that they can't handle it or that they can't be responsible. It's just that they're chased around a lot. I'm discovering that it's hard for them to have personal lives - just to step outside of an apartment and go down the street and grab a sandwich is a thing of their past. That bothers me."

He said all they are trying to do is live their lives.

"They love new adventure, they love being kids, they love going to the movies, they love hanging out with friends and going to parties and that part of being young has kind of been taken away from them," Kenny said. "Their interests are what makes them interesting people. You start to pull them back and not allow them to have that sort of full experience."

Hsm3 on strike???

Good news, rugrats! The much-awaited High School Musical 3 has not been waylaid by the WGA strike. "Fortunately, Peter [Barsocchini, who also penned the original and sequel] was able to get [the new script] into us before the strike," director Kenny Ortega told TV Guide at Sunday's Diversity Awards. "Now we're developing our music. It's exciting. We're looking forward to beginning in '08," with an eye on an October theatrical release. Despite much chatter about whom from the original cast has signed on to return — Ashley Tisdale, for one, tells us she definitley has — Ortega maintains, "They're all coming back." And back again? "I don't know that it will be the final for the franchise, but it's the last in this trilogy," he says. "It's the last year in the life of the Wildcats."
