yaya! Happy to see your keeping up on Zac/Hairspray news Jared. Thanks!

# 3

They can promote all they want, but this is gonna flop majorly!

# 4

Does anyone else think Zac Efron isn’t cute? ew

# 5

This was really terrible. I just love how fat people think they’re appreciated, when they’re not.
All those screaming girls out there are cheering Zac and James, not aware of the fact that they’re probably fcuking each other.

# 6

james marsden is so much hotter that zac efron…and EATHAN who cares of they are doing each other?? jealous are you? lmao

# 7

Eathan,

Get a grip. We know your life sucks and the only thing you can think
do is spout garbage out of your trash can of a mouth. *****, moan and
whine all you want, but, do it where we don’t have to read it.

# 8

the movie is getting great reviews. love the whole performance! zac’s hot!

# 9

I’m shocked to see that Hairspray is the 2nd best reviewed movie OF THE YEAR. That’s ****** awesome.

Me and a few friends are going to see it tonight before we go pick up the Harry Potter book, lol.

I’m seeing this in a few hours!

O-M-G!!!!!!

lonelymaggot @ 07/20/2007 at 12:53 pm

Dude… that’s cold…. nothing is wrong with overweight people and they should be appreciated because they can do anything (not involving weight) that any of us can

I cant wait to see this movie… I am going tonight with a bunch of friends. This movie has had GREAT reviews and Nikki looks great it in. I bet this movie will be number one at the box office this weekend, not only because it looks like a great movie people will want to see, but because every girl ages 18 and under will be going to see Zac. Bash him all you want but he is a great actor and has a huge fan base. Also, he is just that good looking!

Flop or no flop - I am going to see this movie.

toooo toooo much
promos
i’m seeing chuck and larry
maybe hairspray next week
love the queen
but even the movie “chicago”
didnt get all this
force fed hipe

disaster hair-away @ 07/20/2007 at 1:22 pm

Geez can this Zaiken dudette look any more gurly..yuck..that big chick is not cute. The other guy looks more manly.

JustJared Regular @ 07/20/2007 at 1:27 pm

WTF?? FLOP?? This movie has ALL GOOD REVIEWS. I can’t wait to see it. I bet you it will be either number 1 or 2 for this week’s box office.

Ew, jojo, how could you dare see that piece of **** homophobic film?! I’m glad it’s critc rating isn’t above 20%. It deserves it.

Anyway, can’t wait to see Hairspray!

i love zanessa!

Zac Efron looks like a female Clay Aiken. He totally ripped off Clay’s hairstyle.

Nikki sang part of “Good Morning Baltimore” not “Welcome to the 60’s”. I watched the show this morning! :)

Oh and the orginal “Hairsptry” with Ricki Lake is so much better. They did not need to reamke this film. For what? to add more singing and dancing? Please.

Um I guess you did not here that in about 10 years 75% of the US population will be OBESE. Not cute and veryone will be dying left and righ by age 40. How you can condone a lack of self discipline and poor nutritional habits (obesity) which in turn bring about a host of medical problems is beyond me. The US never use to be like this.

DAMN! NIKKI WAS ALL OVER ZAC IN THE END ON THE VIDEO I DIDNT EXPECT IT! I WISH I COULD DO THAT TO BAD IM NOT NIKKI OR VANESSA.

Oh LORD! Here we go again!! Enough!
Although, I WOULD TOTALLY HAVE A 3WAY WITH JAMES&ZAC!
2 Closeted Mo’s are just fun!

lisa
4 ur info
i didnt diss hairspray
a little sick of the promos
i said
i love adam sadler
and thats my choice so back off
go tell off all the rude people talking about zac and niki

is zac downsyndrome? my friend said he was

twinkatplay @ 07/20/2007 at 2:57 pm

i think he is

bettybaby @ 07/20/2007 at 3:03 pm

aru crazy???!!! down syndrome! thats a sad comment. all i can say is hot, no super hot! as always, thanks jj for posting.

he hasn’t got down syndrome

he looks less ugly than usual but these arnt close-ups…that boy and his makeup arghhhhh scary ya’ll!!

thats a very sad debilitating disease
its not funny
zac is a healthy guy
and all the families who have
sibs or family with DS should be respected!!!!!!!!!!

i agree but that boys boys mingin!! he reminds me of this boy i punched once at school

For some, being overweight is an addiction to sugar and carbs. Thin people obviously aren’t addicted to those substances. But being so judgemental is ugly.

This Zac guy looks exactly like Clay Gayken. Does no one else see that? He is a clone.

To jjack:

“but that boys boys mingin” HUH?

well I just got back from the movie and it was great! I felt like applauding after every song and at the end I realized I wasn’t the only one who felt that way because everyone in the audience busted out into applause at the end of the movie.

I also haven’t laughed so much at a movie in a really long time. There is some really funny stuff and it is just hilarious watching John Travolta as Edna and Christopher Walken together! It was a riot!

The whole thing was great - the casting was perfect!

ZAC was adorable as LINK and he did a great job, I loved watching him! I can’t wait to see him in HSM2 and Footloose and I’m a mom!

creativegirl @ 07/20/2007 at 4:52 pm

oh and for those who say why remake it when Ricki Lake already did it - I say why not! She obviously approved because she makes a cameo at the end of the movie!

Thank God the headline doesn’t read “Zac Efron at Today Show” this time. I hope that you talk about the other stars in the movie from now on and not just Zac Efron.

No, Disdain, we didn’t “here” (sic) that stat. “Hear” it? Sure.

Also, if you want to compare the US of old versus today, you can lay the blame on a sendentary lifestyle that we have versus the days of old.

And as for condoning it? Why because no one is throwing stones at her or other overweight people? Take your ideas of what is considered beautiful or acceptable and stuff it.

bettybaby @ 07/20/2007 at 6:47 pm

just got back from the movie, loved it!!!! way to go to everyone in the cast, especially zac.

Zac is hot. ‘Nuff said. James is hot too, but he’s married. :)

is there a way you can upload the others? stupid msn doesnt work and i upgraded everythingggg

JJ you’re making Zac Efron come off as the best new thing in Hollywood; your making people hate him! :p sure he is very refreshing but he’s yet to prove himself. don’t get me wrong i see his appeal too

I went and saw the movie and it was AWESOME..Zac is soo hot in it andthe rest of the cast was perfect..The moive made me laugh and it made me want to get up and stat dancing…!!!

Hi people I have a question… I don’t understand the sentence: “OMG Zac Efron” How can you write something like that… It’s so silly. I’m from Europe and my english isn’t very good, but “OMG Zac Efron” Is it normal?

OMG = Oh my God

Zac is disguisting!

I am absolutely in love with this movie. For anyone who makes fun of Nikki Blonsky can go screw themselves…this movie is amazing and Nikki is amazing in it.

I hear that Nikki and Zac are really great friends in real like and I think she did am amazing job. Her singing is on and she is pleasent to watch.

This movie deserves everything it gets. I love the cast and I love Zac in this movie. He is proving to be a good actor. Soon he will star in the remake of “Footloose”

See this movie! ITS AMAZING! Dont let anyone swade your decision!!

A+++++++

Okay, I’m the bitchy one when, it’s comes to cheesy, sing song type of sheeit movies. My 11 year old son wanted to see Hairspray this morning. I took him. OMG! This movie was so GOOD and So FUNNY!!! I don’t understand the people in the theater were not laughing that, much. Not much their but, really old people (65 or older). I guess they had took to much medication upon leaving the nursing home to watch, Hairspray.
John Travolta-fricking hilarious! I have a new Respect for the Queen! Queen Latifah did an amazing job! Nikki was great, Zac, Amanda Baynes and Michelle Pfiffer! A very talented cast! Very well done. People, that didn’t like this movie has, a major stick up their ass!!!

eww, did you notice that nikki’s got a big butt?it’s huge and in one of the pics where nikki is holding on to zac’s shirt, here’s what i gotta say: hello nikki? aren’t you aware that zac’s with vanessa? they are meant to be not you. i think nikki is in love with zac efron

Has anybody noticed that nicki started getting a little too many extra pounds, I’d even say she looks chubby. And John Travolta is getting big enough he’s got Man Boobs. Yucky.

Zac performed really good! oh and he`s always sexy.

don`t hate

1- zac is soooooooooooooooooooooooo cute
2-hairspray is awsem i just saw it
3-get off there backs

I LOVE ZAC
I LOVE ASH

I LOVE ZASHLEYY!

I LOVE ZAC
I LOVE ASH

I LOVE ZASHLEYY!

I actually prefer this Hairspray to the one with Ricki Lake. Nikki Blonsky is adorable, there is nothing wrong if she’s fat. Zac Efron is Hot, and Queen Latifah can sing, And I Love James Marsden

And also I saw the Musical of Hairspray on Broadway in New York City When i went over the summer…..It was different though Little Inez didnt win the contest tracy did…and they also have more songs and stuff…and it was just FABULOUS

Kerry Hager @ 08/07/2007 at 11:58 pm

while zac was singing ladies Choice did you see Nikki run her hands all over Zac and he liked it and they almost kissed.

ZAC IS SOOOOOOOO HOOOOOT!!!!HE’S THE CUTIEST GUY IN THE WORLD

zac efron thinks he is handsome! i hate him!
but i adore love(etc) james marsden!his smile is (l)!!!
i used to like z.e.but he is not a good and serious actor like j.m.!

anyway, hairspray is a good movie but it is a bit cheesy.
i do like the songs though!!

send me ur opinion>
