Vanessa Hudgens, star of Disney’s High School Musical films, is in the news again. This time she is being sued by a lawyer who claims she owes him money. Promised 5 percent of her profits, her lawyer is now suing for $150,000 dollars. This probably would not have even made the news had Hudgens not had that other little indiscretion. So far, Disney continues to stand by their starlet who they say have apologized.

Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times echoes Kitty-Chan’s article from yesterday on Disney’s new breed of tolerance in High School Musical 2 and the intolerant reaction from some on the right-wing side of politics. Here’s the money quote,
“As one parent and certified Disney-phile told me Monday, ‘As wholesome and family-friendly as these films are, both ‘High School Musical’ films promote tolerance, interracial dating and rejection of elitism — all ‘liberal’ themes that drive those religious right-wingers nuts.’”

Let’s start with the weekly cable ratings, in order of number of viewers.
1. High School Musical 2 (Disney)
2. Hannah Montana (Disney)
3. High School Musical 2 (Disney)
4. Hannah Montana (Disney)
5. The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (Disney)
6. High School Musical 2 (Disney)
7. The Closer (TNT)
8. High School Musical (Disney)
9. The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (Disney)
10. Hannah Montana (Disney)
Excepting that one TNT show, Disney ruled the roost last week. Good thing because the Network TV ratings for ABC have been abysmal this summer. Hannah Montana benefited the most from it’s position following HSM2, we’ll see if she can keep those numbers for the rest of the season.
