west side - take 2

---

i was chatting w/ tiffanyblue tonite on the phone and she mentioned how she had a post idea, but saw that i had read her mind (bc we are so in sync w our pop culture obsessions) and posted it on silver lining instead.

but this photoshoot is so fantastic, it deserves a one of a kind "30/13" post!

so here it is.....

vanity fair's "west side story - revisited," featuring hollywood's ones-to-watch.

THE DANCE

Between Maria (Camilla Belle, far left) and Tony (Ben Barnes, far right, also known as Prince Caspian), it is dancing, dancing, dancing. Latin steps predominate on the left, as the Sharks and their ladies give America a taste of the culture to come. On the right, we have a series of funky Anglo moves, as the Jets and their gals go rhythmically at it. On either side, our two tragic protagonists have eyes only for each other. The lead Sharks dancers are Anita (J.Lo, in an incredible pose) and Bernardo (Rodrigo Santoro). The Jet girl dancing with Riff (Chris Evans) is played by Ashley Tisdale (of High School Musical fame). Rounding out the Sharks, left to right: Minka Kelly (she’s Lyla on Friday Night Lights), Jay Hernandez, Natalie Martinez (Death Race), Brandon T. Jackson, Melonie Diaz (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints). On the Jets’ side: Sean Faris (Never Back Down), Shane Lynch (she’s gonna be big), Robert Pattinson, Cam Gigandet, Trilby Glover (88 Minutes), Brittany Snow (Hairspray), Drake Bell.

wait....what???!! where is he???

....in the back??!!

nobody puts baby...um...i mean, RPATTZ, in the corner!

after some digging, courtesy of ROBsessed, we find out the scoop on this random and epic mistake.

courtesy of ROBsessed:

"This photoshoot was done in May 2008 for a special Vanity Fair edition supposed to be titled "Movies Rock", the edition didn't happen so the pictures were shelved. Now that the West Side Story revival is coming to Broadway, VF decided to use the pictures.

Camilla Belle and Ben Barnes are the headliners because last year (when the shoot was supposed to come out) had big movies, Camilla had 10,000 BC and Ben had Narnia.
Robert Pattinson was not famous at the time so he's in the background. Had the photoshoot been more recent. RP would have been front and center."

wow! rpattz as tony? while i think our dreamy vampire is more brooding james dean than the jets' good boy tony, seeing these two former lovebirds would make joe jonas's blood BOIL!

i love tween love triangles.....

HSM 4 Real?

---

According to Broadcasting & Cable and Perez, there's a HSM 4 in the works, to be released like its 1st and 2nd counterparts - on the Disney Channel instead of in theaters. 

Seriously? 

If Zacky boy Efron is on board, then I'm all over it. But don't BET ON IT.  haha (seriously if you've never watched that scene from the 2nd movie, you must stop what you're doing right now and click on the link. powerful stuff. haha). Anyway, I think he's outgrown the franchise. And besides, wouldn't it technically need to be called College Musical if the story continues to follow Troy and Gabriella?

hsm3!!

speaking of hsm, the dvd hits stores this tuesday! go zac!!

best moment of the movie......

so cheesy. such an unnecessary scene. yet so hysterical......and so very well choreographed!! :)

even if you're not a fan of the hsm franchise, just watch the 3rd movie and marvel in how much zac efron has grown since the first one.

spectacular = the new hsm?

so what's so spectacular about spectacular? it's supposed to be nickelodeon's version of high school musical. it has all the same elements. main guy goes out of his comfort zone and joins something he never thought he'd do. troy bolton was the basketball jock who also had a flair for singing and acting. now we have the rocker guy who finds himself in some sort of show choir. boy meets girl in this new setting. they fall in love. they succeed at whatever competition or show they have at the end of the film. spectacular hasn't even debuted on tv yet (gotta wait until monday - set your tivo's!), but i'm pretty sure my synopsis isn't that far off.

wanna see more? peep the trailer - 

and then log on to nick.com (with your parents permission of course! haha!) and preview some of the songs, read more on the actual storyline, etc etc....
