Watch your back, Vanessa Hudgens! Your High School Musical costar Monique Coleman wants to get sweaty with your boy, Zac Efron. Hudgens actually has nothing to worry about. Coleman just thinks it would be a hoot if she and newly fitness-buffed Efron worked out together, because she’s about to start training as a relay runner for the upcoming Malibu Triathlon, which raises money for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “That would be so cute,” Coleman told me today. “I keep seeing all those [paparazzi] shots of Zac, and I’m like, Look at him being all grown up.” Coleman and the rest… Read more »

Add the Jonas Brothers to the list of musicians who want their own fashion line. “I’m not saying we’re the best designers in the world, but being able to make what we like, that would be so cool,” oldest sibling Kevin, 20, told me the other day in Hollywood, where the trio was appearing on FNMTV Premieres. “We love dressing up and putting on different kinds of clothes.” And the Jonas empire doesn’t end there. Nick, 15, says a Christmas album is a definite possibility. “We wrote a holiday song, “Girl of My Dreams,” and sang it at the Disney… Read more »

It may have been Super Bowl weekend, but the big event for thousands of mostly tween-age girls had nothing to do with football. Instead, all eyes at the Gibson Amphitheatre were focused on three relative rookies known as the Jonas Brothers, who played three sold-out shows there this weekend. After selling out their first show at the 6,000-seat theater in a two minutes — the fastest sellout in the venue’s 36-year history — the Jonas Brothers added two more shows that also sold out. Not quite as impressive as Garth Brooks’ recent five shows in two days at Staples Center,… Read more »

They opened for Miley Cyrus on her fall “Hannah Montana” tour to the delight of shrieking girls everywhere. Their song, “S.O.S.,” catapulted to No.… Read more »

It was ever so brief, but the use of a body double by Miley Cyrus on her sold-out “Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus ‘Best of Both Worlds’” tour is creating plenty of buzz. A video posted on YouTube shows the 15-year-old entertainer as “Hannah” dancing onstage with a group of dancers and the Jonas Brothers, also on the tour. During the song, someone ushers her offstage via a trap door. Immediately, another girl dressed like the character “Hannah” in the same pink trench coat with blonde hair covering her face dances around, runs up the stage set, and then quickly leaves. While… Read more »

Hannah Montana fans are getting the best of both worlds, leaving the less entertaining aspects to the show’s lawyers and publicists. A lawsuit brought against the Disney Channel by an award-winning comedy writer who claims he pitched the original idea for Hannah Montana and was never compensated for his efforts was referred Friday to mediation in the hope that the two sides can cut a deal. Buddy Sheffield sued parent company ABC Cable Networks Group on Aug. 23, alleging breach of implied contract, breach of confidence, unfair competition and unjust enrichment. He is seeking unspecified damages. ABC Cable has denied… Read more »
