Honor Society have set the foundation for a breakout year in 2009. They have been named a Band To Watch by Rolling Stone, “Buzzworthy Artist” by MTV and earned an opening spot on the North American leg of the Jonas Brothers World Tour. In anticipation of their forthcoming debut album Fashionably Late, Honor Society released the single “Where Are You Now” which was featured in the movie Bandslam starring Vanessa Hudgens and Aly Michalka. Co-written by John Fields (Miley Cyrus, Jimmy Eat World) and executive produced by the Jonas Brothers, Fashionably Late showcases the band’s potent sound and skilled musicianship.
Catch Honor Society live on the remaining North American Jonas Brothers dates and on their solo Full Moon Crazy Tour (occurring before and after select Jonas shows). Want to ask the guys a question? They will be broadcasting live from their Facebook page tomorrow (August 27th) at 5:00 PM PST.
Fashionably Late will be available on September 15th and can be pre-ordered here.
Also, I am interviewing the band. So if you have any questions write them in the comment section and I will see if I can work it into the interview.
Vanessa Hudgens is the pinup cover girl for Parade magazine this week. I am liking this new grown-up Vanessa. In the interview she talks about the haters, the paparazzi and being a mom’s girl. Here are the highlights:
On the nude picture scandal and how she’s moving on from it: “That’s why I’m extremely guarded. I really do try to watch everything I say. Because one little tiny slip, and it’s like the world is coming to an end! It is hard. I do always have a wall up. But I feel by doing it, I keep myself safe. I try to live my life, do what I want, and just let everything else follow along. I try not to read the blogs or what people say about me. Because that’s what brings everybody down–no matter what you do, you’re always going to have haters.”
On hiding from the paparazzi: “I keep my head down. Usually I’ll run around in hoodies, and I’ve got this massive head of hair, and I throw it all in my face so that nobody can see me. But if I want to do something, I’m going to do it, and if people recognize me, the fans, then great. They’re the reason why High School Musical is what it is, and they’re the reason why I’m here, so I’m thankful.”
On being a mama’s girl: “I got her fired once. I was calling her at work way too much, because I missed her. Back then, I was so shy, I did not want to leave her side. I would call her at work nonstop, to the point where she got fired. It was horrible.”
On moving out of her parents house: “I feel like I need to earn my right to have a home. It’s nice to be spoiled, but I want to be able to know that I can do it. [My parents] know I’m growing up, and they’re proud that I can actually have my own home. Of course I think they’re worried to a certain extent. But they’re so proud of me.”
On getting used to living on her own: “It’s weird living by myself. I thought I’d be the person who, every time I hear a little noise, would hide under my bed. But I’ve fallen in love with my home. When I’m in there, I feel safe. I don’t think I’ve gotten scared once–knock on wood–in my house by myself. Then again, I do sleep with the TV on so that I don’t hear all the little clinks and clanks at night!”
Buddies Zac Efron and Breckin Meyer got together with Funny or Die to spoof Perez Hilton’s video he did the other day about getting beat up by that guy from the Black Eyed Peas. I’m not going to link it here I am sure everyone has seen it. And if you haven’t Breckin does a great impression of it.
In the video all Breckin wanted to do is couple skate with Zac’s girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens. But when the time comes Zac ends up going back on his word. So all Breckin wants is an apology.
I am still laughing over this video. And I watched it about an hour ago. It’s that good! See it after the jump…
Zac Efron and girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, were spotted cuddling in the front row Los Angeles Lakers’ opening playoff game against the Utah Jazz at Staples Center on Sunday. They are so cute cuddling and cheering together during the game.
Zac has a lot to celebrate since his movie 17 Again topped the box office this weekend blowing Hannah Montana out of the water. I think I would be more apt to go see a movie with Zac in it than Miley Cyrus…but I am a huge High School Musical fan. And Russell Crowe’s movie State Of Play came in second.
Funny or Die has outdone themselves once again. They got an all star cast (Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Lance Bass, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and Carmen Electra to name a few.) for this really funny skit. Zac’s uncle comes over and tries to do anything to fit into the already cool pool party.
It was so cute to see everyone get together for something like this. I found myself laughing more than once. And don’t forget to see 17 Again in theaters next week! To see it look after the jump.
I’m not sure how Vanessa Hudgens does it, but she makes getting gas look like fun. And so glamorous too! It is being reported that she could be in the new movie Dead @ 17, playing a murdered teenager that comes back to life to fight evil. Now that is a role I would love to see her do. I think she deserves to be known for something other than a singing Disney Girl. (I even watched High School Musical 3 today…it was way different than I thought it would be.)
