You may or may not be aware of this, but a movie version of the international musical theatre sensation Les Miserables is currently in the works. This isn’t the first time in recent memory someone has tried to put Victor Hugo’s novel on the screen, but it IS the first time that it’s been done in musical form. And it’s racking up a pretty good cast, too: Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe signed on as escaped con Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert respectively a while ago, and just this week, Anne Hathaway joined the team as Fantine, the ill-fated singer of “I Dreamed a Dream.” So that got us thinking: Who ELSE might shine in this star-studded cast? We have no idea if any of these actors can sing, but hey, that’s never stopped anyone in the past (Sweeney Todd, much?). Here are our picks for the cast of the new Les Mis: More »
Everyone knows that that the 10 mile radius surrounding Hollywood is Ground Zero in the overtanning war zone. And while Los Angeles is always on Orange Alert, last night at The People’s Choice Awards, things were taken to a whole new level. The ladies in attendance weren’t simply over tanned (though there was plenty of that on display.) Rather, it seemed like a lot of the women on stage last night had made a pact to be more…brown.
Why? Are we missing something? Last time we checked, dirt and formal affairs do not mix so well (unless you’re Ke$ha). Note: Ke$ha was not in attendance. More »
Despite support from celebrities like Adam Lambert and Ashley Tisdale, the rash of gay teenagers killing themselves has been devestating. Recently, Fort Worth’s city councilman Joel Burns made a heartfelt speech during a public council meeting about his own struggles with his sexual identity, and if it doesn’t make you tear up, you’re probably not human.

We know the recent edition of Seventeen (with Ashley Tisdale and Ally Michalka on the cover! Hey, we were there!) had only the best intentions with this article, but this is one case where an extra glance at the copy before the issue went to print could have saved a lot of teen panic attacks. Are your breasts normal?!? More »
Hey guys, missed out on some Crushable reading because of the long weekend? Don’t worry, we have your roundup right here!

Early this week, I was invited to cover a “private party” thrown by Seventeen Magazine to celebrate its October issue. Ashley Tisdale and Aly Michalka — some Disney actresses my little cousin likes — would be there promoting a new CW show called Hellcats, in which they play sexy, sassy cheerleaders. I’m always down to throw back a few with teen idols and milk them for quotes, so I emailed Crushable, “Sure, sounds like weird fun.”
Then I realized the party was at 1pm, in the Seventeen offices, and there would be children there. A booze-less photo op. This was to be more weird than fun, but interesting nonetheless. More »
Intrepid reporter and party girl Jamie Peck spoke to upcoming CW Hellcats star Ashley Tisdale during a cheerleading-themed event at the Seventeen magazine offices this week. And if you guys thought that the High School Musical alum was going to be keeping herself Disney-fied, think again: More »

Sure, Ashley Tisdale’s newest character, Savannah, the cheerleading captain on the upcoming CW series Hellcats, demands her time in the spotlight, loves cute clothes and can be chirpy and majorly annoying at the same time. But that doesn’t automatically make her a clone of High School Musical’s Sharpay Evans.
“My hair color has definitely changed,” a brunette Ashley joked at the Television Critics Association panel of her new series.
“For me, Savannah is completely different from Sharpay. She’s been in her own little bubble…. More »

The CW is revealing its updated series schedule for 2010-2011 to advertisers in New York City this morning. These splashy presentations are known as “upfronts,” wherein networks unveil their new lineup and ad space is bought and sold. Crushable got a sneak peak at next year’s sked:
The Vampire Diaries was good to the CW, so next season, it returns on Thursdays to scare the hell out of us.

Last extensions are the new hair extensions. Just ask Tina Smithers, who goes gaga for the treatment, and indeed, her before/after photos show the results are quite striking.
Confession: I am beyond obsessed with whatever it is that makes Hollywood’s movers and shakers look, well, nothing like the rest of us. I’m addicted to Life & Style and Allure — if Heidi Montag’s had it nipped and Madonna’s had it tucked, I probably read it first. Rachel Bilson swears by $1,300… More »

It was a star-studded event for High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale’s sister’s baby shower earlier this month. Her celebrity guest list included Vanessa Hudgens and a name that we know and love, Haylie Duff.
Tisdale’s older sister, Jennifer (28-years-old), was expecting her first child with her husband, restaurant manager Shane MCChesnie, on or around January 10. The party was held at Tisdale’s Los Angeles mansion in honor of her sister. Haylie Duff and Ashley Tisdale became friends after Duff moved… More »
