Avril The Editor April 10, 2008

Only positive news for me, thank you.

Some may see it as a bid to broaden her horizons even more. Unfortunately, I’m not one of those persons and I doubt I ever will be. What am I talking about? Well, Avril Lavigne’s contention that she could do a way better job than current celeb magazine editors.

Avril told the New York Daily News this week, “I would make it completely positive. There’s so much negativity right now. I’d pick up the big stories, but they’d have to be positive.”

Uh huh.

And what else will you do, Avril? Put yourself on the cover every issue? Shouldn’t you be just thankful that the “negative” magazines, as you call them, give you the time of day? I mean, think about what would happen if everyone stopped running Avril Lavigne stories.

High School Musical 4 Confirmed April 10, 2008

Disney has so much faith in the High School Musical franchise that they are writing the fourth movie in the series before the filming of the third instalment has even begun.

The question now is: Who will be back from the cast, if any?

However, not all the cast members may be back. Zac Efron, for one, hinted to MTV earlier this year that he may not continue beyond No. 3: “It’s the third act. This is the legacy that we leave… I think it’s going to be a good way to go out with a bang.”

Disney does hope to have some of the cast members back for High School Musical 4 though. We hope so too!

High School Musical 3 is scheduled for worldwide release in October.
