Too bad that mash-up has already been poorly done.

According to MTV, Vanessa Hudgens tried out her pipes for the Twilight sequel New Moon. Rumor has it that she might have been trying out for the role of werewolf Leah Clearwater, Jacob or Sam or one of those moody kid's angry cast-off. While this is a genius marketing move, it's not really adding any more weight to the notion of New Moon attempting to be a better flick. But for now, this is all just casting chatter.

Until then, enjoy this not-so-super-clever Twilight High School Musical Youtube. Jacob's wig is pretty hilarious.

Could It Be Alien Mind Control?]]> Wow, I'm kind of excited for They Came From Upstairs, the alien-invasion teen comedy starring High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale. It sounds like it has everything: mind control, nasty little aliens who want to take over the world, comedy, pathos, action, and maybe singing. In the film, two families are vacationing, and a group of the kids discover that evil aliens have the ability to "plug" people and take them over — including Tisdale's boyfriend. So she spends a lot of the movie trying to work out her relationship with her BF, while he's under alien mind control. But eventually Ashley kicks the aliens' asses. [MTV Movies]
