Bandslam’s Aly Michalka is joining the brand new show Hellcats that will air this fall on the CW. The 78violet singer is joining Gail O’Grady (Desperate Housewives, NYPD Blue) in the drama.

A drama set in the world of competitive college cheerleading. The former [Michalka] will play Marty Berger (“wicked smart, an acerbic outsider”), a student at Memphis’ Lancer University who’s forced to try out for the Hellcats – the college’s competitive cheerleading team – after she loses her scholarship. O’Grady will play her mother Wanda who tends bar at a rathskeller type snack bar on campus that serves food and drinks.

Aly’s also part of the 2011 movie ensemble cast for The Roommate, staring Leighton Meester, Cam Gigandet and Katerina Graham.

New behind the scenes shots, interviews with the cast and never before seen clips are part of this new featurette for the summer movie Beastly. Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer take the leads in this modern adaptation of the classic fairytale ‘Beauty and The Beast.’ Costarring Mary Kate Olsen and Neil Patrick Harris, Beastly opens in theaters July 30th 2010.

I love the look of this film. What do you think?

Actress Vanessa Hudgens finds herself on Vanity Fair’s “Women To Watch Out for” list in the February issue of the magazine. The Sucker Punch star talks about her love/hate thing with the paparazzi:

“It was like, ‘Oh, my God! No way! So cool.’ The second day it happens, it’s like, Never mind. Maybe it’s not as cool as I thought it’s going to be.”

A self-described shy girl, Hudgens finds herself on the list of hottest actresses for 2010 with Selena Gomez, Lily Collins, Amber Heard, Zoe Kravitz, and Isabel Lucas.

Vanessa Hudgens was in Vancouver training for her new film Sucker Punch and heading to her hotel when she was snapped by the waiting paparazzi. The actress looked very upbeat considering she has been hit with a ton of rumours (engagement to Zac Efron is confirmed by publicists as NOT happening) a dismal opening of her new movie Bandslam (didn’t even crack the top 10 for opening week) her nude pictures hitting the internet again (and promptly being removed by legal threats.)

Sterling Knight who was in 17 Again with Efron, (and photographed with Hudgens) was hanging out with the couple and he went to the Kings of Leon show with the High School Musical stars.

That KOL show must have been great: tons of Disney stars and the Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse cast and to see Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson together publicly confiriming the year long gossip of their romance.

Sisters Alyson and Amanda Michalka (better known as Aly & AJ) went shopping Sunday afternoon in Hollywood California. Aly’s movie with Vanessa Hudgens and Gaelen Connell, Bandslam opened this weekend and did very poorly at the box office (even with the exclusive New Moon trailer in front of it.) AJ will be in the upcoming Peter Jackson film The Lovely Bones and the duo has renamed their band 78violet and are working on new material for a new album.

UPDATE: We are getting a number of comments regarding these pictures NOT being Aly & AJ. They are identified as such by WENN the photo agency who took them, and I think if you look closely – these girls do have the chins and mouths of Aly & AJ. The hair is different but it does appear to be them. We welcome alternative opinions and will change the post if we find out that these two girls are not Aly & Aj. – Violet

Vintage shopping with Mary Kate Olsen, kissing costar Gaelen Connell, shooting a movie on the Seychelles Islands and dating Zac Efron are just a few of the things Vanessa Hudgens has done that you and I won’t ever do. The actress spoke to Moviefone about her latest movies: ‘Bandslam’ and ‘Beastly,’ her new house in Los Angeles and all the other pretty cool things she’s gotten to do.

On her awkward kissing scene with Connell in ‘Bandslam’: “The kissing with Gaelan was awesome. I loved the scene. I thought it was so funny. It was very choreographed and, yeah, it was very fun. I’m happy with the way it turned out.”

Read the rest of the interview at Moviefone and go ahead – be envious – she has been fortunate enough to do some pretty great things.

Lots of big movies opening this weekend, including the teen musical ‘Bandslam’ and star Gaelen Connell wants you to know it’s different than ‘High School Musical.’ With the obvious similarities of costar Vanessa Hudgens and having a musical competition central to it’s theme, Connell says that is where the comparisons should end.

“This is like an actual high school for the 95 percent of us who were kind of friends with popular kids, then kind of friends with the not popular kids, and I think it’s pretty interesting to see that in a Hollywood film because it’s usually so black and white. You know, there’s a cheerleader, then like I said, there’s McLovin. This is not like that at all, it’s very edgy and real.”

Check out his interview with MTV and hear him declare Taylor Swift is “super hot.”
Who’s going to see this tomorrow? Are you just going for the ‘New Moon’ trailer?

Bandslam opens in theaters Friday August 14th (but you knew that already) and here are Vanessa Hudgens and Aly Michalka talking about learning to play the guitar for their roles and how Vanessa found her ‘inner rock god(ess!).’

MTV has a new clip from the upcoming Vanessa Hudgens movie ‘Bandslam’ which opens Friday August 14th. Co-starring with Gaelan Connell, Hudgens plays Sa5m, (‘the five is silent’) who forms a band & enters a contest with Connell’s Will and the popular cheerleader, Charlotte, played by Aly Michalka.

Earlier in the week, Hudgens was reminded of her nude picture scandal when those old photos resurfaced from 2 years ago. It has been speculated that they were ‘accidentally’ released just in time to promote her new movie. What do you think?

Who’s planning on catching the movie? Don’t forget a brand new, exclusive trailer for ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ will be in theaters opening weekend. Tell us what you think.

Miley Cyrus’ older sister, Brandi Cyrus rocked her tight ripped jeans and a Queen shirt to attend the premiere of Vanessa Hudgens’ new movie “Bandslam” held at the Mann Village Theatre In Los Angeles on Thursday (August 6).
