“I think I just died, guys”- Brianna in response to watching the new teaser trailer for “Now or Never”

Remember THIS post where I mentioned Zac would be answering fan-submitted questions for zefron.com? I’ve been in contact with Kathryn and just received word that Zac does have the questions as she spoke with him just last week about it- he said he’ll do them as soon as he gets the chance noting that he wants to take the time needed to answer them. Please keep in mind while waiting to read through his answers that Zac is very busy.

First off, yes-this is a candid, but as we mentioned HERE sometimes the ZA blog will still use ‘candid’ shots to either report on, or merely for main post pictures. Honestly, with Vanessa and little sis Stella looking relaxed and enjoying some sisterly bonding before Vanessa’s first concert stop later tonight in St.Louis, MO it’s a welcome change from the slightly (and understandably) disgruntled Hudgens we saw while home in Los Angeles.

The concert tonight at Six Flags Great America is free with park admittance. If any ZA’s attend this (or any other!) show, we and all the fans who may not be so fortunate to have Vanessa stopping by their home states would appreciate any and all first-hand accounts! Best of luck to V- here’s to full crowds, good health, and a safe time while touring.

Read the latest interview of Vanessa Hudgens by Carlene Miller as she gets down to business and asks Vanessa relavant question partaining High School Musical, Rock On (which might change title according to Vanessa) and her latest album “Identified”.  I don’t know about you, but to me it seems like Carlene was more professional about her questions than some of the biggest magazines/hosts that interviews Vanessa.  Oh, and did  mention that Carlene is only a junior?  Well, much props to her!  Thanks Carlene, I truly enjoyed it!!

WAIT! I give fair warning that this video contains no sound. Cruel and unusual punishment? Perhaps. BUT seeing as we all know what “Now or Never” sounds like, the main focus here are all the wonderful new scenes. Kelsi and Ryan at the piano, Troy and Gabriella (wearing a frothy inspired baby blue and black stripe dress-a departure from the floral frocks of HSM2), Sharpay waltzing down East High’s corridors, and a passionately determined Troy getting his “game on” during the big championship game? Mercy me! Just when I thought Disney couldn’t get me more excited- they drop this bomb on us.

*Update: New HQ video with sound now inside

Thanks to JustJared here’s the September issue of Teen Vogue featuring cover-girl Vanessa Hudgens. Many thanks to Sarah at vanessa-anne.org for the exclusive photo-shoot pic! JJ also has the inside scoop on quotes from the interview including:

• “I don’t want to do something that messes me up mentally. I think people just don’t realize that sometimes actors can really take it in and become that person.” (on being choosy with her next role she’ll portray)
• “I keep my relationship quiet. I think that works.” (on Zac Efron)
• “I love that Gabriella is Hispanic. It’s nice to be able to stand up for people who don’t have someone to look up to very often.” (on HSM character Gabriella)

*Update: Rock On may be pushed back to April 2009. Visit the Rumor-Mill (comment #26) for more info as we wait for confirmation. (Thanks Ayen)

*Update 2: V at LAX candids updated to our “Sightings” section. (Thanks Malia and Lisa)

*Update 3: More Teen Vogue quotes from E!News and thebosh.com (Thanks Suzy)
