Speaking of her experience in the High School Musical franchise, Vanessa Hudgens confessed about one scene in particular, which has remained her favorite even after all these years since parting ways with the IP. Starring Hudgens and Zac Efron at the forefront, the musical, which was originally conceived as a Disney Channel original movie, went on to inspire two sequels, a concert tour, and a Disney+ show.

But amidst all its box-office highs and other notable moments, in her interview with Seventeen Magazine, Hudgens confessed it’s the ending musical number, We’re All in This Together, that still remains special to her.

High School Musical‘s ending remains magical to Vanessa Hudgens

Out of all the songs the movie has to offer, the closing number, We’re All in This Together, is arguably the most fitting song to conclude the ensemble feature, as it also drives home all the themes that remain at play.

Disney Channel’s High School Musical franchise has kept a generation of fans soaring and flying for nearly two decades now.

Released in 2006, the original movie starred Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale. It was the sort of smash hit that launched a mega-successful franchise and that had a positive impact on their net worth.

After working their way through classic bops like “We’re All In This Together,” the group got together for two more movies. High School Musical 3: Senior Year even got a theatrical release in 2008.

The franchise even inspired a Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, starring the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.

Alongside Zac, Vanessa and Ashley, Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman and Lucas Grabeel made up the main group of the original High School Musical franchise. Many of them have gone on to do big things over the...

For blue-chip artist Daniel Arsham, brands are the ultimate canvas. He has brought his playful sculptural style to bear in collaborations with a panoply of companies from Adidas and Uniqlo to Tiffany and Moët et Chandon. Now he’s planning his most muscular collab yet.

Arsham’s New York-based design firm, Snarkitecture, will be overhauling the iconic, celeb-beloved Equinox location on Sunset Boulevard, leaning deeply into the club’s Hollywood DNA. The overhauled space is set to be unveiled in early 2027.

“There are some things that belong to the Equinox world, but more specifically to LA,” said Alex Mustonen, Snarkitecture’s co-owner. “There is a see-and-be-seen quality to being in that club.” The brand indeed boasts its share of A-list devotees, including Renee Zellweger, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Wahlberg and Shawn Mendes. Among bold-faced names spotted sweating it out at the WeHo location are Paris Hilton, Will Ferrell, Jason Derulo and Vanessa Hudgens.

Having completed a full week of release in theaters worldwide — the film’s international roll-out is still unfolding — Materialistspassed an important box office milestone in its sophomore frame. Starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, Materialists delivered a solid debut last week, on the back of excellent reviews and the combined star power of its cast. Audiences voted with their dollars as the movie entered its second weekend, delivering an unexpectedly strong 45% drop domestically. With this, Materialists has passed the $30 million mark worldwide, and, in doing so, overtaken one of A24’s earliest releases.

The studio has since leveled up significantly and is in the process of producing even bigger projects this year. Materialists, with its star-studded cast, is only the first in this new wave of releases. With nearly $25 million domestically and another $7 million from overseas markets, the movie’s cumulative global haul currently stands at $31 million. The...

In an industry that’s quick to brand remakes of old classics as cheap copies, Vanessa Hudgens’ Grease Live! stood as a worthy exception. However, one line from Ginny & Georgia instantly dissed the remake, casting a long shadow over the television special.

The Netflix dramedy won fans globally for being a righteous mix of drama, comedy, and emotions. A big part of what fans love so much about the show is its sharp and witty mother-daughter dynamic. Their banter is a hallmark in the series. In one such bantz-filled scene, Georgia, played by Brianne Howey, was seen taking a sharp dig at Hudgens’ Grease Live!; with just the one scene, the show did irreparable damage to an otherwise critically acclaimed portrayal.

Megan Fox has taken on plenty of iconic roles over the years, but one film she came close to starring in has returned to streaming charts over 20 years later. Fox was one of the many names considered for the role of Karen in Mean Girls, the 2004 cult classic led by Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. The part of Karen ultimately went to Amanda Seyfried, who almost played McAdams’ iconic Regina George. Mean Girls was released in 2004, and the film has since returned to streaming charts on Paramount+, sitting at #4 at the time of writing. Mean Girls earned a “certified fresh” 84% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 66% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter. It also grossed $130 million at the box office against a modest budget of only $17 million.

There were plenty of casting almosts revealed in an article last year from Entertainment Weekly, including Leighton Meester, Haylie Duff, Kate Mara, and Blake Lively...

Modern Family‘s Sofía Vergara has found herself a new young boyfriend. She ended her nine-year marriage with Joe Manganiello in 2023, and before that, she was in a relationship with actor and businessman Nick Loeb. After a couple of short-lived dates post-Manganiello, it appears that she has settled for entrepreneur Douglas Chabbott.

The couple was seen together alongside Vergara’s son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara. Chabbott is a popular figure in the entertainment world and was spotted alongside several celebrities in the past with his brother, Julien. Chabbott appears to have a significant age gap with a 52-year-old Vergara.

Let’s get real: Hollywood’s heartthrob, Austin Butler, isn’t just the guy who made you blush on Zoey 101 or the man who basically became Elvis Presley. In fact, he’s a walking and talking plot twist with cheekbones sharp enough to cut glass and a voice that’s somehow stuck in Graceland. Of course, most of us only woke up to his swoon-worthy swagger after Elvis hit theaters, but Butler’s has been quietly stacking up a resume full of wide career turns, method madness, and eyebrow-raising facts that most fans totally missed.

And do you think you know Butler? Think again. Behind that slow Southern drawl is a dude who’s been through it – Disney stardom, heartbreak, intense training montages, and roles you completely forgot he played. Be it him dating Hollywood royalty or shredding guitar solos like it’s second nature, Butler is full of surprises.

High School Musical will forever be a part of our childhood – a snapshot of simpler times when breaking into song in the middle of the hallway felt like the most natural thing in the world. From Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens’ chemistry to Sharpay’s sass, there is nothing about the franchise that is anything less than iconic. Admit it, we all wanted to be Gabriella!

Basketball had a pretty important role in High School Musical, and it’s insane how much the actors had to practice to nail the dance sequences. In an interview, Zac Efron revisits his time as Troy Bolton and reveals that no CGI was used in the movies. It was all him and his team.

As the captain of the East High Wildcats, basketball wasn’t just a sport for Troy Bolton.

More than a decade after the original Spring Breakers was released in 2012, the cult classic thriller is getting a sequel. Written and directed by Harmony Korine, Spring Breakers follows college students Candy, Faith, Brit, and Cotty, low on cash, who decide to rob a Florida diner so they can pay for their spring break trip. But they are soon arrested by the police. Luckily, a drug dealer/rap artist named Allen bails them out, and they opt for a life of crime.

Now, a new Spring Breakers, titled Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, has been confirmed, per Variety. However, there's a catch that might be disappointing for big fans of the previous film. While the original Spring Breakers starred Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, James Franco, and Gucci Mane, that will not be the case with Salvation Mountain. The sequel will feature an entirely new cast - and a new director.

Harmony Korine's 2013 film "Spring Breakers" is a time capsule of the early 2010s -- a time when James Franco was still a big-name movie star and Skrillex's brostep bass wobbles soundtracked all of the cool parties in town. Starring Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine, the film follows four college students who turn to a life of crime after meeting Alien (Franco), a drug dealer who convinces them to wear pink balaclavas, carry machine guns, and dance to Britney Spears power ballads.

Considering that Harmony Korine was banned from "The David Letterman Show" for causing mischief, it makes sense that he'd create a movie about renegades wreaking havoc. That said, "Spring Breakers" also taps into the universal feeling of being young, carefree, and wanting the party to last forever -- themes most of us can relate to, even if we didn't grow up listening to...

The iconic 2013 film “Spring Breakers” is getting a sequel.

Variety reported that the essence of Harmony Korine‘s classic feature will live on, sans its original stars and director, however. Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco, and more starred in the first film; now, its follow up will center on Gen Z actors for a new generation of mayhem.

“Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain” will have returning producers Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner from the original feature. Bella Thorne, Ariel Martin, Grace Van Dien, and True Whitaker will star, with Matthew Bright directing. Christian Mercuri’s Capstone Global and its joint venture with Signature Entertainment called Capture will be launching sales in Cannes.

The logline for the sequel reads: “When a trip explodes out of control, the girls are forced to outrun the chaos they’ve created.” Muse Production’s Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner will produce, with Capstone Studios serving as financiers.

Didn't have this latest bit of news on our 2025 movie bingo card, but here we are. Released in 2012, Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers received reasonably positive reviews from critics given its divisive subject matter, and it provided a more adult vehicle for its younger stars, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Benson, known for more light teen fare at the time. James Franco's turn in the film also received positive notices, but nothing about its reception gave the impression that more stories needed to be told. However, in this industry, one can never say never as it appears that more from this universe is coming our way.

Per Variety, a sequel to Spring Breakers is moving forward but with a brand-new cast and director. Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain will star Bella Thorne, Ariel Martin, Grace Van Dien and True Whitaker as a new set of rebellious young girls...

The Spring Breakers sequel is finally coming. The original 2013 movie, which was the third film ever distributed by A24, was written and directed by Harmony Korine (who later helmed the Matthew McConaughey movieThe Beach Bum) and followed college girls robbing a diner to fund their spring break trip and eventually being dragged further into the criminal underworld. After it made back more than six times its reported $5 million budget with a $31.7 million box office haul, multiple follow-ups were scrapped while in development, including the Jonas Åkerlund sequel Spring Breakers: The Second Coming and a web series.

Per Variety, Spring Breakers 2 is officially in the works with Capstone Global and Signature Entertainment's company Capture kicking off sales at Cannes. The movie, which is titled Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, will be directed by Matthew Bright and follow four girls, whose spring break road trip "explodes out of control" to the point...

Get your bathing suit ready — a Spring Breakers sequel is on the way. Variety reports that Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, the new movie from filmmaker Matthew Bright (Freeway), will follow in the footsteps of the original, even boasting a star-studded cast that will take over the next chapter of the story where Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and James Franco left off with director Harmony Korine more than a decade ago. This time around, the action will play out between a primary ensemble that includes Bella Thorne (Shake It Up!), Grace Van Dien (Stranger Things), Ariel Martin (Zombies 2), and True Whitaker (Godfather of Harlem).

In typical Spring Breakers fashion, the movie will follow the quartet of girls who strike out for the time of their lives during spring break. Billed as “a bold new ride for Gen Z,” the group will find plenty of trouble along the way with the...

A sequel to Harmony Korine’s cult classic “Spring Breakers,” which starred James Franco, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, is officially a go.

“Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain” comes from the producers of the 2012 original but with an all new cast — including Bella Thorne. Replacing Korine in the director’s chair will be Matthew Bright (“Freeway”).

Capture — the recently-launched joint venture between Capstone Global and Signature Entertainment — is launching sales in Cannes.

Alongside Thorne, “Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain” will star Ariel Martin (“Zombies 2”), Grace Van Dien (“Stranger Things”) and True Whitaker (“Godfather of Harlem”). The four are set to play a group of rebellious girls who hit the road for spring break in a crime thriller described as “a bold new ride for Gen Z.” But, as per the synopsis, “When their trip explodes out of control, they’re forced to outrun the chaos they’ve created.”

Producers of the original feature,...

The lucky 13th season of Fox's wild and wacky reality TV show The Masked Singer has been given a release date of Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025. Once again, Nick Cannon returns as host of the whodunnit program alongside the same four judges as the two most recent installments: Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora.

Fox has released high-res photos for the following contestants: Ant, Bat, Boogie Woogie, Cherry Blossom, Coral, Fuzzy Peas, Griffin, Honey Pot, Mad Scientist Monster, Nessy, Paparazzo, Pearl, Space Ranger, Stud Muffin, and Yorkie. There's also Lucky Duck, a non-competitive mascot. Be sure to bookmark this page, as many more costumes will be unveiled soon. Who is Your early favorite to win it all?

The Masked Singer's catchphrase is "take it off," and now it's doing just that for fall 2025.

Fox's reality TV show usually produces two cycles per calendar year, but after host Nick Cannon announces the Season 13 winner on Wednesday night, viewers won't see any new episodes until January 2026. So, why is the hit series taking a longer-than-ever break?

"Among Fox’s most enduring signature shows is The Masked Singer with a truly devoted fanbase," said the network. "This juggernaut will return next year for Season 14 as it takes midseason by storm with a spectacular, super-charged new season." Per Variety, Fox is calling this "a strategic move to give ample runway for America’s favorite guessing game and allow us to creatively look at enhancing the show with the biggest names at the center of it."

The Masked Singer has debuted a new season in September every year since 2019, with its second installment.

On its massive-eyed face, “The Masked Singer” may seem like just a goofy reality competition series, meant for little more than an hour of escapism. And really, it is that. Fox’s singing contest is predicated on sticking various calibers of famous people in insane, occasionally nightmare-fueling costumes, having them perform for a live audience, and letting the audience guess who the voice belongs to.

It’s simple and merry, if occasionally a little obvious (just about everyone clocked Vanessa Hudgens and Amber Riley immediately). But, as it wraps up its 13th season this week, “The Masked Singer” has also become something else entirely, according to those who have competed on it — a surprisingly therapeutic experience.

The show originated in South Korea in 2015, titled “King of Mask Singer.” In 2017, executive producer Craig Plestis, a veteran in reality TV and now the President and CEO of Smart Dog Media, watched an...

As of 2025, Canadian actress Stana Katic’s estimated net worth is $12 million. Best known for her role as Kate Beckett on Castle, the 5ft 9in (175.3 cm) star frequently wears high heels to add polish to her already statuesque frame.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario, and raised between Canada and Aurora, Illinois, Katic brings international flair to both her on-screen roles and real-life red carpet appearances. “I carry Marc Jacobs Magic Marc’er eyeliner and Christian Dior red lipstick to amp up my look in a flash,” she once revealed—an insight that reflects her glamorous yet grounded fashion sense.

Vanessa Hudgens’ 2011 Coachella Scandal (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Coachella 2011 was every influencer’s dream — scorching sun, iconic fits, and celebs swarming like bees to a music-fueled flower field. There, Vanessa Hudgens, in full festival goddess mode, was doing her thing. However, the actress unintentionally kicked off one of the most heated celeb festival conspiracies. One snapshot. One suspicious finger lick. And suddenly, the Disney darling was caught in the eye of a media hurricane.

That’s one way to swerve a scandal. In the now-infamous pic, Hudgens is seen dipping her finger into a small pouch filled with something white — and yep, she pops it right into her mouth. People online were convinced she was dabbling with drugs. But her team shut down the gossip fast. According to her representative, that substance was white chocolate. The Hollywood beauty didn’t speak about it at the time. But a couple of years later,...

Martin Lawrence has a positive update regarding the future of the Bad Boys film series. April 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the first Bad Boys, which opened on April 7, 1995, taking the number one spot at the box office, and kicking off a franchise that continues to this day. After a 17-year hiatus following Bad Boys II, Bad Boys for Life brought the franchise back with a bang and became one of the last films to succeed at the box office before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down theaters. The fourth film, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, became another box office hit, and fans are eagerly awaiting word on when Bad Boys 5 (Bad Boy5 maybe?) will arrive.

In an interview withEntertainment Tonight, Lawrence was asked about the future of the action franchise. Lawrence plays Marcus Burnett in the Bad Boys franchise, the Miami Police Department partner and best friend of Will Smith's Mike Lowrey.

Did Sarah Jessica Parker actually eat a real spider for Hocua Pocus?(Photo Credit –Prime Video)

Turns out, the Sanderson sisters didn’t rely on movie tricks to bring their witchy weirdness to life. Back in 2018, the cast reunited for the Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash on Freeform. That’s where Sarah Jessica Parker casually dropped the bombshell. When asked about that infamous bug-chomping scene, she confessed (reported by Cheatsheet), “I really did eat the spider.” Yep, she went full witch mode.

The moment flashed by quickly in the film. Parker’s character, Sarah Sanderson, spotted a spider, giggled, and chomped it like it was candy corn. Viewers assumed it was movie magic. But this was the ‘90s, things got practical. That bite wasn’t acting. It was commitment.

The Halloween Bash special, hosted by Halloween-obsessed Vanessa Hudgens, was loaded with nostalgic goodies. Fans got musical numbers, glam costumes,...

Harmony Korine’s multimedia design collective Edglrd has inked a first-look development deal with AI giant Runway. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The two companies plan to develop new projects, using Runway’s generative AI tools. Edglrd previously worked with Runway on campaigns for Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga.

“At Edglrd, we’re always experimenting with new technology and tools as we look for new ways to create images and tell stories,” Korine said in a statement on Runway’s blog. “This partnership is about exploring what’s possible.” Korine used Runway’s AI tools for his experimental project “Baby Invasion,” which he debuted last year at the Venice Film Festival.

In a statement, head of Runway Studios Jamie Umpherson said: “Partnering with Harmony is a perfect fit – as someone who has made a career out of pushing the boundaries of traditional production and story structures, his expertise is...

Five years after 300 and two years before Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder co-wrote and directed a 2011 dark fantasy adventure film that caused a bit of controversy. Now, Sucker Punch, which Snyder co-wrote with Steve Shibuya, is streaming on Paramount+.

When he finds out that the mother left everything to her daughters in her will, he takes Babydoll to a mental hospital where he tries to have her lobotomized.

On the journey towards today's full-blown "superhero fatigue" (something James Gunn and Peter Safran hope to solve with their DC Studios vision), there was a brief period where everybody was bemoaning the way comic book movies seemed as if they were required to absolutely level entire cities during their final acts. 2013's "Man of Steel" was perhaps the worst offender, with its final showdown between Henry Cavill's Superman (who never got a great Superman movie) and Michael Shannon's General Zod resulting in untold damage to the city of Metropolis and almost certainly killing hundreds of civilians. A year prior, the Avengers had similarly ransacked New York in an attempt to save the city from Loki's alien hordes.

In 2017, somebody decided it was time to focus on the faceless civilians who routinely suffered as a result of all these superheroic showdowns, and "Powerless" was born. The sitcom, set...

Vanessa Hudgens is giving away a significant part of her wardrobe after entering a new stage in life.

The 36-year-old actress and singer announced on her Instagram on Wednesday (March 19) that she is selling her entire shoe collection after welcoming her first child with husband Cole Tucker.

“I feel like most of you know when you’re pregnant, your feet swell up. But what I didn’t know is that sometimes your feet stay swelled up and your foot grows an entire size. That’s what happened to me. So I gotta replace my entire shoe closet, and I thought it could be kinda fun to share it with you guys,” she explained her decision, per Us Weekly.

At a New York Imax screening of “Spring Breakers,” Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco crashed the party, saying hello to hundreds of fans who showed up to watch A24’s bikini-clad drug bonanza on the nation’s second-largest screen.

Moviegoers shrieked as Gomez and Blanco made their surprise appearance, and one was heard saying, “Oh my God. I need to call everybody I know.”

“Hi guys,” Gomez said to the audience. “Did you guys enjoy one of my favorite movies ever?”

Gomez then pulled out her phone to take a selfie with the crowd at AMC Lincoln Square, promising to send it to “Spring Breakers” director “Harmony [Korine] and the girls,” referring to co-stars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine.

During the short visit, Gomez and Blanco previewed a clubby track, “Bluest Flame,” off their upcoming album “I Said I Love You First,” and sent everyone home with a Usb drive containing the yet-to-be-released song.

While she has claimed to be 5’7″ on Twitter, Nina Dobrev’s actual height is estimated to be around 5ft 5¼ (165.7 cm), and she wears a US shoe size 10.

Though she once joked, “Actually… I’m starting a new thing and rebelling against ridiculously high heels. It’s inhumane,” she continues to wear stunning designer heels on the red carpet to add extra height and elevate her looks.

From Stuart Weitzman to Christian Louboutin, Dobrev knows how to balance style and comfort—even if she ditches the heels the moment the cameras stop flashing.
