Ready for Their Close-Up

Lachey assays Sharpays.

The High School Musical juggernaut continues. Following two hit Disney Channel movies, a concert tour, a legitimate stage production, theme park attractions, a documentary and even an ice show, it's only natural that the next step would be an American Idol-ized talent-slash-reality show. Right?

Titled High School Musical: Get in the Picture and hosted by former boy bander-slash-Newlywed Nick Lachey, the series will follow a group of hopeful Zac Efrons and Vanessa Hudgenses as they compete for the big prize: a chance to star in a music video for the franchise's feature film threequel, High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Yeah, that doesn't sound like much, so Disney recently sweetened the deal to include a couple singles and a possible network gig.

HSM: GITP starts tomorrow night on ABC with the first of a two-part premiere, to conclude on Monday. Here's a sneak peek.
