Nikki Blonsky @ Thanksgiving Day Parade

Nikki Blonsky and the fake Zac Efron transport back to the 60’s on the “Great American Diner” float during Thursday’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Nikki, who turned 19 earlier this month, and the dancers from Hairspray sang and danced to a rousing performance of “You Can’t Stop The Beat.”

The fake Zikki and the rest of the Hair Hoppers also helped promote the November 20 DVD release of Hairspray.

Maddie, Hate is a very strong word and an unhealthy emotion. Why don’t you say… “dislike” sounds more subtle. :)

#74, why you hate Nikki??? What has she done to you???

Ok, Rosie (#60)

you are wondering why Zac is in that dating rich people site if he is soooo in love with Vanessa, i kmow what you are trying to say because i am not stupid, just for your information Vanessa is in it too, and that is because they are not the actual celebrities, they are posers, and I don’t hate nikki, i actually admire her but i persoanlly don’t think it’s fair when many nikki fans go to the Vanessa or Zac’s threads saying Zac looks all miserable with Vanessa and he should be nikki and many post some thoughtlessness comments, don’t do that if you don’t want to see us commenting in her thread, so just play fair!

Thanks JJ for posting news about Nikki. It is always nice to get info on the talented Nikki.

I agree with Maddie and not so much Yucks,

Nikki Blonksky should of just stayed working at that ice cream shop.
I dont hate her as hate is a strong word
I just dislike her
To me i believe she has no talent at all
The casters for hairspray should hang their heads in shame for casting her.

Oh and also don’t get me started on Zac Efron.
the guys a show off show girl
and yes i meant to say girl

Vanessa deserves better

hey i adore this girl she sing live!!! not like tizz she lip sync

WOW! The last few posts are ignorance epitomised! Where do these people come from? Zac is a show off and Nikki is a no talent….I believe Hollywood and Disney would beg to differ with you.

I love them both and support all they do. Nothing would make me happier then to see them in another movie or on broadway together. In case you all haven’t noticed, MS. BLONSKY has been touted by all of Hollywood as a new and upcoming star. But hey, what does John Travolta know as compared to the experts on this site! LOL!

Disney could not have HSM#3 wthout Mr. Efron. If you believe otherwise you are all delusional.

By the way, I love the sound of Zikki…how about you????

rosie-zikki sound sickie, zanessa is foreva

ciana, ICA and very well said.

I can’t wait for more Nikki news.

nikki sounds better than zikki

Hey gang to each his own. We all have our favorites. Nice chatting with you all.

#71 Levi - The 4 times thing Nikki said was actually that Zac is hot, but he is 4 times more beautiful on the inside. Just to clear it up.

I am so happy to see another post here for Nikki! Thanks Jared! She is a very talented young lady, and was perfect for the part of Tracy! And I am always impressed watching her sing live!

I can’t wait to see her upcoming projects, and hope that Jared will post about them. Also, please keep us posted about the Film festivals that she and the Hairspray cast will be attending, as there are numerous awards for Nikki and for the ensemble cast.

I can’t wait for awards season!

Jared- I believe that Zac was going to be serving dinner at a mission or shelter on Thanksgiving. Any pics/info. with that?

Thanks again for posting, Jared! (Fake Zikki? LMAO! But I do love the real Zikki, though!)

IA Jennifer, I am still amazed that this was her first role. She just did such an amazing job and she has a lovely voice. Nothing against any of the other women who have portrayed Tracy, but I think Nikki did it best. She really made the part her own.

I would also love to hear more about her up coming movies and projects. The girl works so hard and we hardly get to hear about her movies. One is already wrapped and the other is still in production.

And I have anticpating thw awards season. I can’t wait for the cast to get the ensemble award at that film festival and for Nikki and Emile to get the rising star awards. I think rising star and ‘one to watch’ describe her perfectly.

please keep the Nikki news coming Jared!

Well said Rosie and Nonna.

If Nikki doesn’t have talent then my names not Kayla and I was never born!

When she was 16 she got the starring role in her schools production of Carmen, thats an Opera and she preformed it completely in french.

and her voice and acting talents are amazing, I’m sad that people don’t like her just because she is obviously close to Zac or because she’s a plus size girl, since when does what you look like justify how talented you are?

the comments on here make me sick sometimes!

Thanks JJ for posting Nikki can’t wait to see if you post stuff on her TWO new movies coming out!

Kayla, I say just ignore the haters. Nikki has said herself in the commentary if it makes people feel better about themselves to make fun of or say mean things about her then she is helping them out. Cause she doesn’t care what they think and people like that are just insecure. Now as fans of her it’s a little harder to not get riled up, trust me I know but let’s just ignore the ignorant people and focus on the good things. Such as the fact that Nikki has 2 movies coming up, AND she will be recieving those awards at that film festival.

When you have the likes of the entire cast of HS praising you…when they are amazing talented themselves….I think that says something. Everyone was impressed with her.

Nikki deserves all the praise and support she can get. Whether she is with Zac or not, she deserves to be known for her immense talent and not just by who her friends are.

Here’s to hoping she has many more successes to come (and Zac cheers up).

Oh yeah. I saw that. I also recorded it. It’s gonna be on you tube soon.

Nick Baga is hot. Zac Efron is HOTTER!

JJ Your rockin with these Nikki posts..I usually would never watch the parade but of course I did for Nikki and she totally rocked! Lock the zikki comment too…too bad it was fake zikki…real zikki is just magic! Thanks!

I also watched the parade just for Nikki. That really made us wait for her. lol. I was hoping she would be at the beginning so I wouldn’t have to watch the whole thing. :P

I am also loving that fact that Jared is finally posting on Nikki.

And Nikki deserves all award and recognition she can get. She’s so talented and really just very inspirational.

Nikki Was wonderful at the parade. She was the heart of “Hairspray”
and isn’t that the point , the fans that love musicals should be
supporting all the actors. If you remember the whole point of the
movie is changing the world for the better, to accept all people
no matter what color, size, religion, etc. they are. I wonder how
old some of these people are that posts on these sites, because of
how they want to pit actors against each other I for one love to
see that they are nice in real life and get along with each other.

Nikki did an absolutely fabulous performance in Hairspray. She was truly Tracy. She also did a great job on the Thanksgiving Day float. Well done, newbie!!!

Well said 96.

I am eagerly anticipating Queen Sized. I know anything this girl does is going to be amazing because she is just that good.

Great comments ladies from an obviously more mature group then you usully find here!

Love all these young actors and their talents. Hope success follows all of them. I bet they ARE all good friends and would be sad to read some of the awful comments written about any of them.

I am a huge fan of Nikki because her overnight success is truly a dream come true for a gal who over came much adversity and bullying in life. Perseverance and talent have won out over cynacism and criticism. She will be showered with awards soon to be forthcoming and she deserves everyone of them!!

The reports coming from the set of Queen-Sized are all more than positive..can’t wait to see it & her other new movie Harold :)
