Gossip Teen

Bridgit Mendler may be the next big thing and Disney seems to agree. The network has cast her as the lead in their latest hottest property Lemonade Mouth. The book about five Rhode Island teens who meet in detention and form a band is being developed to take Disney forward with a new crop of teen stars. Mendler will play Olivia and joining her is Hayley Kiyoko (Stella,) Adam Hicks (Wen,) Naomi Scott (Mo,) and Blake Michael (Charlie.)

Production has started in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the made for TV movie will hit sometime in 2011.

High School Musical is done (at least the original.) Camp Rock 2 will hit soon and that will be over. Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana are ending their series soon and the House of Mouse needs some replacement material and new talent to develop.

Lemonade Mouth is a great book and could be so fun. I’m looking forward to it.

Forming a production company can sometimes be a vanity project for an actor, but in Zac Efron’s case, he is working hard to get the right roles for his big screen future. The High School Musical star has formed Ninjas Runnin’ Wild Productions to continue to capitalize on his success in the movie 17 Again. He has several new movies lined up for NRW:

• Art of the Steal - about an unlikely geeky criminal mastermind who went undetected for 15 years.
• Einstein Theory, a story of time travel.
• Fire – an action adventure/CIA spy movie.
• Snabba Cash -a remake of the Swedish thriller.
• Untitled workplace-centered comedy.

Efron’s got a lot on his plate with his new company. He could have some great material for himself.

Don’t forget his most recent, Charlie St. Cloud opens July 30th.

Ashley Tisdale is in Toronto filming the Disney Channel Original Movie Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure.

Miley Cyrus, who has been recently highly criticized for her raunchy new image, babbled about the unfair double standards in Hollywood. Here is what she had to say:

Miley Cyrus Rocks Rock In Rio Lisbon (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)

“Girls are immediately going to say, ‘Oh, she’s trying to sell sex.’ Well, I love Zac Efron, but what’s he selling? He’s gorgeous, he’s hot, [but] I don’t go see his movie because I’m like, ‘He’s such a fantastic actor.’ He’s a great actor, but he’s hot. He’s just not in a leotard with his legs out. He has his shirt off. So what’s the difference? In “High School Musical” … he’s in basketball shorts and his cutoff tank top and all the girls are dying. It just isn’t as obvious when guys do it. I was on tour with the Jonas Brothers my first year and boy bands get away with a lot. For girls, it’s always going to be harder. That’s not an excuse, it just means we have to work harder.”

Blah! When Zac Efron wears his basketball shorts and tank top, he isn’t exactly shirtless or pantless… so Miley may have not come up with the best example for her case. I’d use Taylor Lautner as an example instead. He is always shirtless and we love it! Anyway, Miley still has a point.

Our favorite teen couple, Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron, was the first caught by the Kiss Cam at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday (June 6). That was a very timid, lame kiss… we demand a re-kiss, but we want a hot wet one! Anyway, Zac and Vanessa looks so cute together! Aww!

KISS POLL: Zanessa vs. Robsten? Who wins Best Kiss? You can vote up to two answers. The idea is to vote for Zanessa or Robsten kiss and one crossover kiss.

Former High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were the most charming, cutest and sweetest couple on the red carpet of the 2010 MTV Movie Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on Sunday (June 6).

These two look so amazing together. They have been dating forever and are the perfect teen couple. It’s great to see them together on the red carpet again. Zac and Vanessa shared a timid kiss on the lips when they were caught by the Kiss Cam during the awards ceremony.

Mouth is about 5 Rhode Island teens who come together to form a band with unusual instruments.

What do you think – who do you want as the next Zac, Vanessa & Ashley?

Here is the official music video for Justin Bieber and Sean Kingston‘s duet “Eenie Meenie” (watch video above), which is featured on Justin’s new album “My World 2.0″. Everybody is talking about this video today. Did it exceed your expectations or what? We loved it!!

Vanessa Hudgens will be in the Hollywood Bowl production of the Broadway hit musical Rent. The actress will be working again with her Beastly costar, Neil Patrick Harris who is directing the live performance.

“She came in for a work session, and I must say, Vanessa really impressed. She looks amazing, has great vocal chops, and seems really committed to honoring the somewhat iconic role of Mimi. I look forward to audiences seeing a dark, edgy, and very different side of Vanessa Hudgens this August.” said Harris.

Vanessa makes her debut August 6th through August 8th.
