Vanessa Hudgens Joins the Mafia

Vanessa Hudgens arrives at the Rock Mafia Studio in Santa Monica, Calif. on Thursday. Looks like she got her hair straightened in the middle of the day!
The 19-year-old High School Musical star is set to act in feature film Will, which shoots soon and is about a battle of the bands at a high school.
Here’s a description of the role Vanessa will be playing: [SA5M] The 5 is silent. Sam is 15 years old, dressed down in black jeans and t-shirt, with hair strategically hiding her face from the world, she is a loner, one of the school’s outsiders, constantly seen with a book in hand. Smart, with a sense of humor and a lot of disdain for her shallow peers, Sam is a former stutterer and now speaks slowly and deliberately. She teams up with Will on a class project, and the two quickly discover they have a lot in common. Their friendship eventually takes the shape of a burgeoning romance. Brought on board as the lead singer for the band Will is managing, Sam emerges from her cocoon, demonstrating grit and commitment to perfection.

Elijah Wood @ ‘The Oxford Murders’ Premiere

Elijah Wood attends the premiere of the Alex De La Iglesia-directed film The Oxford Murders on Tuesday in Paris, France.
The 26-year-old actor is staying at Hotel Costes in Paris and has been seen with his girlfriend. Most likely, it’s still Pamela Racine.
Here’s the crime thriller’s premise: At Oxford University, Professor Arthur Seldom (John Hurt) and grad student Martin (Wood) work together to try and stop a potential series of murders seemingly linked by mathematical symbols.
Elijah also recently talked about his own music label, Simian Records, which he started in 2005. He said, “It came out of frustration with major labels not necessarily giving the right attention to bands that I thought were really great (like Heloise and the Savoir Faire)”.
