You guys made abundantly clear in the comments of our recent post about the possibility of sugar-coated Disney stars Vanessa Hudgens or Brenda Song starring in New Moon as Leah that theyre not right for the part of Leah. Another voice joins the fray, over at MTV:
I thought to myself, Disney Channel Stars? Miley Cyrus? Nope. Ashley Tisdale? I hope not. Selena Gomez? Possible. Vanessa Hudgens? No way. She cant go from High School Musical to Twilight? She cant be that lucky.
Apparently, she might be.
The girl whos made boys go gaga in all three High School Musicals (HSM) (and in those naughty pictures too) is rumored to be one of the top two contenders. Whos the other hopeful? The super-cute and super-funny Brenda Song! You might know her as the spoiled and not so very smart London Tipton alongside Ashley Tisdale in Disneys The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
If you ask me, neither of these gals are good picks. As for Brenda, I love her. Shes cute, funny, and makes the Asian in me sing with glee and glow with pride at how successful shes been as a Disney Channel star; but, shes no Leah.
Why would Vanessa one of the stars of HSM opt for a minor character? Even though the film is destined to be another mega hit, does she really need this role that badly? Plus, I cant picture Gabriella Montez running around the woods growling at people.
