My friend Nikki at Celeb Look, had the opportunity to talk to Caroline B. Marx, who was the costume designer for “High School Musical 3”. She shared with Nikki her concepts behind the designs and also gave her some tips on what’s hot for spring and promo season.

On whether it was easier to expand on the existing characters or design for the new ones: “The thing is that you want to make every single person different. It’s interesting. Normally when I go into a film they don’t exist. I’m the one who comes up with the idea. I do research and kind of look into their character, their personality, where they came from. With the new characters it was definitely like that. In Jimmy, to me, the youngest, hippest kids out have the Emo vibe with the skater mixed in. I chose really cool, up and coming designers like Fyasko and Space Craft with Draven and Vans shoes. That’s what the younger, skater/surfer kids are wearing! With Jemma, I kind of gave her an English school girl look. Really cute and conservative jumpers and blazers. We used a lot of Rugby and Ralph Lauren, American Eagle, argyle sweaters, stuff like that. At the end, in the extended version, you’ll see her in a full blown English riding costume.”

This was a great interview and if you loved the costumes in HSM3 and want to know more about what all went in to create them, then read the rest of the interview:

We catch up with the cast of High School Musical 3 to find out their favourite songs from the movie! Will it be I Want It All or Walk Away? There is definitely some good music in this movie. Check out which songs are the cast favorites and then share yours with me.

ZAC EFRON: NOW OR NEVER

“I love all of the songs in High School Musical 3 because they all have a special meaning to me and they are all really catchy – but my favourite has got to be Now Or Never. I’ve never seen a song take place inside a basketball game before, which is why it stands out. I think it’s a neat song because it’s so unique.”

VANESSA HUDGENS: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

“Right Here, Right Now is my favourite song in the third movie. I love the music and the lyrics because they’re so sweet. It’s a beautiful scene in the movie and the song really captures the mood. I love it!”

Think you know everything about High School Musical 3? Think again…

#1 ASHLEY DITCHED HER HEELS FOR THE FINAL DANCE SCENE!

“One of my funniest on-set moments happened during the High School Musical graduation scene,” reveals HSM cutie Ashley Tisdale. “I was wearing some cute heels and it was perfect for my solo stage sequence – but as soon as we got to the grass for the exterior shots, the heels just dug into the earth. It was the first time in three movies that I actually said, ‘I’m ditching my shoes and dancing in my socks!’ If you look closely at the movie, you’ll see me performing in my black socks on the grass in the graduation scene. I would not let the heels rain on my parade!”

#2 ZAC GOT TO CHOOSE HIS BASKETBALL JERSEY NUMBER!

“It’s true, but not many people know about this,” reveals HSM hottie Zac Efron. “During the first High School Musical, I was asked what number I wanted on my jersey, so I thought back to when I did little league baseball years ago. I played for four years and every time I ended up with number 14. It was a complete fluke back then because I never requested it, but that’s the number I asked for on my Wildcats top. I just thought I’d continue the tradition.”

The oldest – and most sentimental – East High honey reveals her thoughts on the future and memories from her HSM past…

What is the best thing you take with you from working on the High School Musical trilogy?

M: I feel so blessed about everything this movie has allowed me to do. I’ve been able to visit some amazing places because of High School Musical and I’ve met some amazing people all around the world. I would never have imagined coming so far with all three movies. I’m very proud.

Which one moment of your entire HSM experience stands out the most?

M: One specific instance I will never forget was getting to perform in Sao Paolo, Brazil, for two nights. The fans were outrageous! I never felt famous or like a celebrity until I went there. It was crazy. The fans gave so much love and so much passion. It really blew me away.

“High School Musical 3” stud, Corbin Bleu, answers some questions about the movie that all of you may be wondering about.

For example, do you want to know why a mini Troy and Chad show up in “The Boys are Back”? Or, how about if Chad’s jersey number, 8, means anything to the star?

High School Musical 3’s Corbin Bleu on dates, dreams and dancing all day…

Hi Corbin! Did you have fun filming High School Musical 3?

C: Shooting High School Musical 3 was a blast! It was amazing to get the gang back together for another movie. It was just like old times filming in Utah again. It feels like it was yesterday.

What makes this third film stand out?

C: For me, it was really cool to be able to explore the relationship between Chad and Troy. Chad is really happy to see his friend move on and do what he wants to do – but at the same time he’s really sad to lose his pal. It was great to explore that in detail.

The dance scene between Chad and Troy looked a lot of fun to film…

C: We had an amazing time shooting that sequence in the junkyard. A guy called Chucky Klapow choreographed the dance and I think he did a great job because it really stands out in the movie. It was High School Musical like you’ve never seen before!

Want the inside scoop on the hunky High School Musical hottie? You got it! Zac Efron waxes lyrical about college, shaving his head and the secret scenes filmed exclusively for the HSM3 DVD… Phwoar!

You’ve got the world at your feet, Zac! Have you got any advice for people who want to follow in your footsteps?

Z: The one thing I would say to anyone who is considering acting is do it because you love doing it. Don’t do anything just to be famous. It would really suck if you had the fame without the love for what you do.

Do you still enjoy acting?

Z: Are you kidding me? Of course I do! I wouldn’t change anything for the world, although the fame part of this industry is tough to handle at times. I can tell you that fame is probably the most unadorable thing about acting. High School Musical is what got me here today and I’m very grateful – but the fame part isn’t so fun.

Is it difficult to relax when you’re photographed wherever you go?

Z: To be honest, I can’t handle the paparazzi. They’re everywhere. One of them was in a dumpster trying to take my photo the other day. It was crazy! Another time, one was hanging off the back of a pick-up truck driving down a road. They think they’re being clever, but they’re not.

What’s it really like to be Vanessa Hudgens? The High School Musical cutie reveals all as she chats about missing her prom, traveling the world and the weird lies written about her in the press…

Is it true you missed out on your high school prom, Vanessa?

V: It is true! I was home schooled, so I didn’t have a prom – but I had one with High School Musical 3. I really enjoyed filming the prom scene and I think it looks amazing on screen.

Are you sad you missed out on a prom?

V: Not really. The after-parties at the premieres around the world were also a lot like proms because we’d all be dressed up so smartly. I’ve had quite a few proms now and they’ve all been really good fun!

What happened at the premiere after-parties?

V: A lot of the events had music blasting and great food – and we’d all dance away. I guess it wasn’t exactly like a prom, but all of my best friends were there and that’s all that matters.

Sound like the HSM3 premieres were very hard work…

V: Ha ha! I really enjoyed the premieres because I love traveling. I’ve always wanted to travel, so visiting these different places with High School Musical has been an amazing experience.
