The countdown has begun. High School Musical 2 is set to premiere on Friday, August 17th. Believe me, that’s a date that has been memorized in my daughters’ brains. They can’t wait for HSM2! Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron are on two separate covers for CosmoGirl!

Here are some excerpts:

Zac and golfing behind the scenes:

“I had to sink a 30-foot PGA Tour golf putt (for the film). It took the golf pro eight tries — but I sank it on my first try! That’s really my putt that you see in the movie. Another time, Ashley had to swing and miss — but she let go of the club and it went flying towards a crew member. It was hilarious watching Ashley completely choke.”

Ashley talking about her place in Hollywood:

“I don’t mind being a Disney girl. I think you can be sexy without taking your clothes off.”
