Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale have signed up for High School Musical 3 says sources to USmagazine.com. It’s also being said that Vanessa will be getting a substantial increase in pay.
“Vanessa is locked for the movie,” a HSM3 source tells Us. “She is very happy that the deal is done.”
“The contract will be signed within the next week,” a Hudgens source tells Us. “It is almost a done deal.” A close Tisdale source says of the other lead actress’ negotations, “It’s done, done, done.”
Hudgens’ nude photo scandal in September sparked an erroneous report by OK magazine that she would be replaced by either Adrienne Bailon and Sabrina Bryan, both members of the Cheetah Girls. “I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken those photos,” Hudgens said in a statement. At the time, Disney released a statement saying, “We hope she’s learned a valuable lesson.”
Bryan, 23, dismissed rumors she would replace Hudgens at the KIIS-FM Homecoming Concert on October 27 in Anaheim, California.
“Vanessa is in control of her own career right now,” Bryan told Us. “If she decides not to do High School Musical, I can guarantee you that it will be her deciding that. No one will strip anything away from her.”
The movie, the first in the hit movie series to be a theatrical release, is set to begin shooting in January 2008.
Officially, reps would not confirm the casting news. A Disney spokesperson tells Us: “The cast is still in negotiations and we have no further comment.” Hudgens’ publicist tells Us: “There is no deal yet. They are still in negotiations.”
A source says that Hudgens’ movie (and real-life) boyfriend, Zac Efron, will also return for the sequel, though the actor’s publicist says a deal is not yet signed.
Co-stars Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman are also in final negotiations, according to their publicist.

I think that Vanessa should be replaced !
i think Ashley Tisdale should be in high school musical 3 then vanessa Hudgens.
High School Musical would be completely ruined if Vanessa Hudgens had been replaced. It wouldn’t have the same magic that a comfortable cast has together. And it’s none of our business what she does in her personal life. So get over it.
