It doesn’t take a rocket scientiest to figure out that the SAME PERSON is commeting over and over and over with different monikers. I she too young to know how to chagne her sentence structure and comments?

Looks like it.

Honey, Zac and Vanessa fans are pretty smart cookies. You can’t fool us.

ha!!!! i betcha every one of the people complaining about zac and vanessa at the oscars have never watched the show. probably don’t even know what it’s about.

WOW!!!! ZAC AND VANESSA PERFORMING AT THE OSCARS!!

HOLY BATMAN THAT IS AWESOME.

KUDOS TO ZAC AND VANESSA. MAY THEY LONG REIGN AS THE YOUNG POWER COUPLE IN HOLLYWOOD.

#66/67 omfg

why would zac and vanessa be there to promote hsm when that promotion is done. the movie is on dvd already. what else is there of the movie to promote. think before you talk.

W/E Kay keep telling yourself that. And disappear while you’re at it.

Ha I think my favorite part about Zac & Vanessa performing besides what a wonderful opportunity this is for them, is all the uptight and some unintelligent “haters” going crazy and enraged. Seriously I love that this is pissing them off so much. Hey the more you ***** and moan and the more “pain” it causes you, the more I will just LOL. Enjoy your bitter existence it provides me with laughs.
Amazing how with all things going on in the world, an award show for the richest & somewhat useless members of society (despite my love for some of them) having the gazillionth party of the year to pat themselves on the back, is what people get so wound up about. Gee the Horror the Horror! the precious parade of fame and money might get blemished by “evil” youngsters. Oh humanity.

#67–omfg:

Please stop while you are ahead before you prove to the whold world how stupid you are. Promotions for HSM3 are long over and the DVD is already out. And Kenny Ortega has nothing to do with who or what will be on the Oscar show. Some of you really have got to have better information and keep up with things if you are going to come on JJ and do a convincing insult and slur. You guys need to know more than the fans if you hope to pull a believable insult.

you know why Oscar want Zanessa to be there because in the last 2 years of Oscar when there a lot of “A lister” the rating of the show is too low aside from it so boring, so because of the Charisma of Zac and vanessa around the world they decided to have them in this year OSCAR. Go ZANESSA will be praying for you.

you know people all of us have talent but the problem is we dont know how to use that talent but these two they worked to hard to pursue what they have now.at least they can dance and sing what’s the problem.i never watch oscar show but these sunday i have to watch it .

GOOD LUCK ZAC AND VANESSA !!

THE BOY THAT PLAYED IN SLUMDOG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZAC …COMMON THE BOY IS VERY TALENTED…ZAC AND VANESSA IS BOTH VERY PRETTY PERSON BUT I THINK JUST THAT OR THEY HAVENT HAD THE CHANCE TO SHOW US THEY REAL TALENT…

Vanessa Hudgens? Oh I’m sorry, I thought she was busy posting nakey pictures of herself. SLAAAAAG.

#88 great comment and I totally agree with you

Being talented also in singing and dancing doesnt make one a singer or a dancer, and Anne knows it more than well. She is an amazingly adorable actress and a really radiant woman. I’m her man.

#88, don’t be concerned, she’s managed to find time to star in a movie that debuted as #1 in the world, do several photoshoots, film another movie, do promo tour and rehearse for the Oscars.

She’s great at multi-tasking, don’t you think?

Yeah, we know she’s hot but you really should remove that picture as your screensaver, you’ll feel better about yourself then.

For Zac and Vanessa fans:

Hugh Jackman has confirmed that ZV and the mamma mia cast (A&D) will be doing a number with him. He said he conceptualized the number and Baz directed. I like that he brought in performers from the big musicals of 2008. I’ll post the link as soon as I get it.

Let’s get set for the Oscars! I’m so excited, I’ve already taken Monday off work :)

From Team Hudgens:

“search for videos of Hugh Jackman and watch the latest one from “Current Affair” but he was asked if he was indeed performing with Beyonce and Zac..he said:

” I thought it was a huge secret, but I will say the cast of High School Musical and Mama Mia will be appearing in a number I conceptualized with the help of Baz Luhrman. But, I want to try and keep it a secret.”

They have turned the Oscars into a joke!

Last year Miley was so out of her element and this year it’s Efron and Slutgens.

Wonder how people who filmed some of these movies for over months and finally see it produced on screen the next year feel about sharing the stage with two kids who starred in a cheesy 6 week production from the set to the screen. That’s hollywood!

Also how bad do all the other kids from HSM feel when they are just cast aside for Mr. Dreamboat and his Troll gf?

Is it true Vanessa Hudgens will be doing her famous pole dance at the Oscars? She is so not worthy to share the stage with the rest of those actor.

#82 - my sentiments exactly. there is a little bit too much angst going on about a show that has actually no real significance in the real world where 95% of the population lives in poverty. i believe all of you will still wake up monday morning and find your lives are still carrying on as normal no matter who hosts the oscars and who joins hugh jackman on the stage to entertain us for a few minutes in a musical number. get over it already.

#94, yeah she will! wanna watch? :)

#92:

The cast? Does that mean MORE than just the stupid fake “couple” will be there?

WELL I TAKE THE MONDAY OFF AS WELL TO WATCH THE OSCAR.I’M SO EXCITED NOW.

seriously people what is all the fus about? they are just two actors who want to take advantage of the offers they are getting. if i got invited to perform at the OSCARS then i would deffo say yes. and dosent it say something about them that they are always getting invited to all these big events?

Hopefully Hugh is funny and lightens up the mood. The Oscars can get a little boring at times.

Thanks naomi…..me and other fans (who made boost HSM3 sales up to $250 m worldwide) are really happy with the news…

for me, that is sunday night….
