A Sucker’s Faves List on Cheesy Tinseltown
1. Zac Efron - For no particular reason why this cutie from the Disney cable movie hit "High School Musical" is on the top of my list. At the risk of being accused of toying with the idea of a May-December affair (Hmm… Come to think of it, not bad considering I’m just four years his senior… Haahaa..), he’s here, making me reminisce my idea of high school puppy love. What can I do? He’s such a cutie, his cuteness making me giggle like a teenager. I mean, don’t you agree? ;p
2. Vanessa Anne Hudgens - Unknown to many patriots out there who are totally worshipping the fact that Nicole of PCD is half Filipino (Don’t get me wrong. I like her too ;p), this sweet-looking leading lady of Zac Efron in "High School Musical" is another half Filipino to be proud of, her mother Gina being a Filipina. Her younger sister Stella Hudgens is also a Hollywood actress, by the way. Sigh. Some are really just way too lucky with those genes borne at the right place and at the right time. But what can I say? I’m really proud of her. It also doesn’t hurt at all that she’s pretty and has talent too.
3. High School Musical - Since both Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) are here on my list, then why shouldn’t my main source of inspiration, High School Musical itself, be here? Though I haven’t really fully explored the world of musicals and theater productions (and yes, films too) in college and afterwards (Well, maybe in the future… We wouldn’t really know ;p), I’ve always known that particular "high" these give - the feeling that for a time one gets to live and relive the lives of his/her fave characters. Talks have it that a sequel (Where Troy might already get the chance to kiss Gabriella! Teehee… So high school talk! Haahaa) is already in the works and fans (Haha. Like me!) are clamoring Disney to have it shown earlier than the planned 2008 release. If you ask me, it’s way too long the wait and knowing the quality of surprises Disney gives its viewers, 2008 might be already too late. Links to the clips of favorite songs from the film are here (Breaking Free) and here (We’re All In This Together). The Asian version of "Breaking Free" (my current LSS) with our very own Nikki Gil, as of this writing, has yet to be shown in YouTube.com. Okay, yeah, I’m trying to copy the dance steps of "We’re All In This Together". Haha.
4. Johnny Depp - Like Keira Knightley in "Pirates of the Carribean 2", what good girl wouldn’t fall for a bad boy especially if it’s no other than Johnny Depp that we’re talking about? I mean, come on! The guy’s hot. And this may really sound like overkill already for the rest of mankind out there coming from a rep of womankind (yours truly), but his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow is indeed way too charming to resist!
5. Superman - I could distinctly recall telling myself months ago not to watch Superman as it reminds me of the ego of Adam’s population. Okay, so I do plead guilty to falling to the cheesy trap of Lois Lane and Superman’s love affair. Just a bit of trivia though, Kate Bosworth has two different eye colors for each eye: blue and brown. Seriously.
6. The Lake House - My most favorite cheesy chick flick with two of my most favorite celebs - Sandra "Miss Congeniality" Bullock and Keanu "Matrix" Reeves. Sigh. Now if only the supernatural could intervene in my lovelife.
