The long-awaited High School Musical 3 premieres nationwide October 24. Will you be lining up to get in, or are you fatigued of all things HSM? Two staffers at The Hollywood Gossip debate just that in this afternoon’s Face-Off …

WILL YOU GO SEE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3?

HECK YES by Hilton Hater

The two most popular reality shows on Television are American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. So how is there even a debate over whether or not one should see a motion picture that comprises the two key elements of these programs, dancing and singing?

Indeed, High School Musical 3 is more than a chance to say goodbye to characters that have ingrained themselves in our lives (remember when Troy wasn’t dating Gabriella? Feels like an economic crisis ago!), it’s an opportunity to bid farewell to the East High students through dance numbers that would make the cast of Rent jealous.

Unlike Saved by the Bell, which forced viewers to sit through some brutal college years, as well as a lame motion picture set in Las Vegas, High School Musical characters such as Sharpay and Chad are leaving on top of their game.

None are expected back for future films in the franchise.

Having followed these teenagers through their most awkward years, we can’t imagine turning our backs on them now. Especially with the senior prom featured in the motion picture. Who will be named king and queen?!?

In closing, the other major motion picture opening Oct. 24 is Saw V. Which screams would you prefer to hear: Those of people about to be tortured to death, or those of fellow High School Musical fans when Zac Efron locks lips with Vanessa Hudgens?

HECK NO by Free Britney

Zac Efron’s biceps or surprise Vanessa Hudgens nude scenes spliced into the Director’s Cut aside, there’s no absolutely no reason to see HSM 3.

Yes, it’s a commercially brilliant venture and yes, the kids love it. But someone’s gotta state it - this entire overrated franchise is mediocre at best.

It is badly danced and badly lip-synched. The songs are only catchy in the sense that you wish you could get them out of your head the next day. The whole experience makes a Britney Spears concert (2005-now, even) seem groundbreaking.

But what really turns me off is overexposure - the cultish fascination and pressure to embrace another mass-marketed Disney corporate brand.

Wake up. Disney is a cutthroat conglomerate that’ll do whatever it takes to get you - Generation YouTube in Paris Hilton’s America - to open your wallets, no matter what kind of glossed-up garbage it has to manufacture and force-feed you.

Stop the madness. Reject the kitsch. Revolt against the regime. Use free will and be an individual, not part of a mob that blindly follows and obeys what the marketing suits command. Demand change we have the ability to believe in, rather than more of the same.

Disney’s High School Musical franchise has soared in popularity. But in the eyes of one writer, with that popularity, it’s become overexposed and lost the fire.

Britney Spears will hit the road for a string of tour dates next spring, Billboard reports this morning. The 2009 shows will be her major tour since 2004.

We won’t talk about 2005- mid-2008.

The lip-syncher singer’s tour – which will include dates in the U.S. and abroad – is expected to include material from Circus, out December 2.

That’s also Britney Spears‘ 27th birthday.

Ding dang! I goin’ on tour? Da record comp’ny n’er told me!

The first single off her new album, “Womanizer” has been released and sounds like her other songs. But the video features Britney Spears nude. Hot.

One other note: According to the UK’s The Daily Telegraph, the 26-year-old will be reuniting with choreographer Wade Robson for her upcoming tour.

Wade is a famous choreographer and also (allegedly) the man who broke up Britney and Justin Timberlake by railing the sexy star. Britney, that’s.

Britney Spears is laying the groundwork for a major worldwide tour that amazingly just five months ago would’ve been considered a form of international terrorism. I guarantee the Netherlands would’ve surrendered. E! Online reports:

While the comeback pop princess revealed last month that she was planning on hitting the road next year, a source now tells me that things are getting serious. Spears just signed a deal with the mega huge live entertainment company AEG to produce the whole shebang, my source says.

I can’t think of a superior beacon of America’s greatness than showing the world Britney Spears no longer looks like she’s in her second trimester. Sure, China might technically own our entire country, but have you seen Womanizer? U.S.A.!

No chance in hell that dog is still alive

Coinciding with the release of her new album Circus, MTV’s airing a Britney Spears documentary in late November. The 90-minute film Britney: For The Record gives viewers a “look into what it is truly like to walk in the shoes of one of today’s biggest musical icons.” Filmmaker Phil Griffin was given “unprecedented” access to Britney for three months earlier this year during her post crazy period. Britney told MTV:

“So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there’s a lot that people don’t know about me that I want them to know. I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an chance to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed.”

What exactly is the light you want to be seen in when you do stuff like speak in a fake British accent and hold your kid hostage? Because one thing comes to mind: I’m a crazy motherfucker.

Britney Spears is opening up about the past two years of her life which friends and family refer to as the “batshit sandwich.” During that time she got a divorce, went to rehab, started habitually flashing her cooch, bombed at the VMAs, lost custody of her children and then thought she was Mary Poppin’s younger sister who likes to make amateur porn until someone put her in the psych ward. For a crazy person, you gotta admit she was productive. The AP reports:

“I sit there and I look back and I’m like, ‘I’m a smart person. What the hell was I thinking?’” Spears said in an interview to air on MTV on Nov. 30, two days before the release of her new album. “I’ve been through a lot in the past two or three years, and there’s a lot that people don’t know.”

“I’m a smart person.” Okay, lying is probably not the best way to start a public confessional, but since you didn’t throw feces at anyone, I’m gonna allow it - just this once.

Ha ha! Remember Crazy Britney? Good times. Except when it comes to taking the blame which brings us to Lynne Spears who continues to promote her new book Through the Storm: How I Pimped My Kids Then Profited from their Downfall Thanks to Your Buy. Today she stopped by FOX News’ The Morning Show With Mike and Juliet where Lynne convinced nobody but herself that she cashed in on her kids: On Britney and Jamie Lynn’s careers: “People think I was this stage mom, that I was pushing my daughters to do what they did. I was actually their cheerleader. I’ve never been their manager, that’s never been my role. I was the one that got their coffee in the morning and [got them] out of bed.” On Kevin Federline: “I do like Kevin. He has been good to us,” she says. “Kevin could have been a real pill about a lot of things, but he wasn’t. He worked with us and has really tried to make everything good for the boys. He has thought about them through all of this.” On Sarah Palin: “I’m glad she didn’t have to go through as much scrutiny as I did. Nobody wants their kids to have these kinds of hardships or bumps. Who would want that?” Some conspiracy theorists (Read: Me) theorize that Lynne Spears slept with Kevin Federline thus sending Britney into a psychological tail spin. And, is it me, or did Lynne just admit that when she stated “I do like Kevin.”? Everyone knows it’s scientifically impossible to care about something but not have sex with it. Coincidentally, this is also the same excuse I used for why I ruined the turkey during Thanksgiving dinner last year. I anticipate the same response here: SUCCESS!

Adnan Ghalib is changing his tune about the existence of a Britney Spears sex tape. He issued the following denial to Star yesterday:

“There is no sex tape,” Adnan tells Star exclusively, “and I’ve never claimed there’s one.”
“I don’t know where these quotes I’m supposed to have said have come from,” says Adnan. “What I do know is they certainly didn’t come from me and they’re completely false. I’m extremely upset and distressed and I’m taking legal action… This story has caused a lot of injured to my family and people close to me.”
“There is no sex tape,” he continues. “That is the end of the matter.”

However, The Sun reports Adnan was close to a multi-million dollar deal with a porn site until Britney’s lawyers stepped in with their own offer to close him up:

But now she’s staged a remarkable comeback, Britney is willing to part with as much of her own money as it takes to keep the tape off the market and the focus on her upcoming world tour.
A pal told a newspaper: “Her lawyers have been working overtime. They’ve been told to do whatever it takes to stop the video making it onto the World wide web.”

It’s looking like Britney’s sex tape will never see the light of day which isn’t exactly a bad thing. I mean, c’mon, it’s not care about it was filmed now when she looks awesome. It was filmed during the crazy, five Frappucinos a day, pink wig-wearing times of yore. Honestly, who would watch that? Besides me and anyone else with a penis.

Remember Alli Sims?

Britney Spears‘ cousin was absolutely gonna start her own music career, earned via her experience of partying with Britney Spears at clubs of course.

We all know how that plan played out.

Britney Spears spiraled into oblivion, culminating in a pair of meltdowns and hospitalizations last winter. Since then, her hangers-on have been cut off.

Alli Sims told the New York Post she’s banned from Britney’s life.

“I have no idea when I’ll see her again. I miss her each day,” Sims lamented. “When [Britney’s] father gained control, he put some rules down… it’s just best for her to not communicate with a lot of people. My main concern is her being OK.”

TRANSLATION: Britney, I need a new Chanel purse! Call me, girl!

Alli Sims, who at least tried to release her debut album earlier this year, states she’s currently living in Nashville writing and recording music.

Meanwhile, her former meal ticket was in N.Y., looking like a bona fide hottie and presenting a school with $10,000 for a music program.
