They look so happy to be presenting this award to Kenny. He’s been through so much with them, and he’s watched them all grow into great young men and women. Kenny must be so proud of them. And what would these movies be without Kenny’s vision and choreography?

Thanks, Kenny, for bringing back fun musicals we can watch with our kids and without them!!!

Match made in heaven. I mean, there are so many ways for those two to bond. Couple fake-n-bake sessions (cause there’s no way those tans are real), oil absorbing sheets for her (to get rid of all that grease on her face) and a much needed trip to the hairdresser for him (self-explanatory).

Then a sleepover, where they can see how many layers of make-up they can cake on each other’s faces before they fall off. Ca-ute.

While they’re at it though, they should seriously consider getting Ashley some new hair, some new clothes, some new boobs (if she wants to wear dresses like that from now on, she should at least have something to show off) and a new wardrobe stylist. Maybe even a new face to match her new nose. She’s obviously going for the blonde and cheap bimbo look, so why not?

i dont want to point this out but what the heck ill say it!.

Looks like ashley tisdale is idolizing Vaness. Look at the recent photos of her. she’s doing the pouting of the lips ala Vanessa Hudgens, the hair and all. Im kinda disliking her. I feel she’s fake. Im not against her its just that, that is what i see.

i’ve noticed ashley copying those same sort of pouty looks that vanessa is famous for and also that kiss that she blows with her hand that vanessa is also known to do (just doesn’t work the same when ashley does it, not original anymore) — hasn’t anyone else notice this?
