Back then, parents were apparently buying JJ for their tween-age daughters, and then someone heard that track...

I agree that if kids were going to buy the soundtrack, they already have it. Hell, this could work in Vanessa's favor. The girl couldn't get a non-Disney job. Maybe at least now she can do The Surreal Life.

It's odd for me to think about AB being associated with Disney and their tween audience. I still remember AB as part of 3LW when she was 16 and being marketed quite sexually suggestively [by Diddy] to the TRL crowd at the beginning of the decade. Later, somehow, AB and fellow 3LW-er Kiely Williams became part of [essentially] the same group, only now tween-friendly, and renamed "The Cheetah Girls". It seems like the career of this nearly-24-year-old is moving backwards in time.

"The Disney Channel (part of the Walt Disney Co.) denied a published report that Hudgens will be dropped from the upcoming feature film "High School Musical 3." That movie is in development and negotiations with the stars are incomplete.

"Disney had no further comment about the pictures."

I don't even think she's particularly hot, I just kinda like her because the 2 singles from her solo album are pretty much the only music churned out by the Radio Disney monolith in recent years that I've enjoyed at all.
My prediction is that this is gonna be good for her career whether or not it's bad for Disney/HSM. She's on the cover of People trumpeting a relationship with her co-star already, so she's already poised to cash in on her awareness with a non-tween audience and make pop music that reaches beyond that niche.

I haven't seen a confirmation yet.

She's being replaced with Adrienne Bailon from Cheetah Girls. Has Disney ever officially dropped their support of Lindsey Lohan? I would think Lohan destroying herself on their dime would be far more damaging to their image than a fairly innocent nude picture.

(They literally can track scans by region or even by city.) I'd love to see if, in "the heartland," HSM2 takes a percentage hit that's out of line with, say, San Francisco or New York.
