Corbin Gives of Himself

According to http://justjaredjr.buzznet.com, On Wedsday Corbin gave of himself as he helped serve meals for Thanksgiving at the Los Angeles Mission in downtown L.A.

Bleu will be teaming up with actor Jaime Foxx to film some public service announcements for “Feed the Need.”

The food drive is part of a contest that is being put on by Participant Media, and DoSomething.org. They are hoping to collect 1 million pounds of food for America’s hungry by Dec. 15^th.

That would be great.

The winner will be given a $1,000 grant for an art or music program, as well as a free screening of Jamie’s latest film The Soloist. The film will be in theaters in March 2009.

Also, helping out was Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Love Hewitt , Kirk Douglas and wife Anne, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Wilmer Valderrama, Neal McDonough, Nora Zehetner, Joe Campana and Natasha Alam .

According to www.digitalspy.co.uk, there were around 2,500 and 3,000 people who benefitted from the meals. They even offered free foot exams and health checks.

“It’s just about recognizing how fortunate we all are. It’s a way for us to just put our heads in the right state of mind for being truly thankful and it’s great to interact with the guests of the Los Angeles Mission and just be able to serve them a warm meal,” said Cindy Crawford.

It is great to know that they were helping out people who are in need.

According to www.aceshowbiz.com, Corbin Bleu’s new album”Speed of Light,” will hit the U.S. market on March 10, 2009.

So mark your calenders, for anyone who is interesting in getting his CD. I have learned that when some CD’s come out, they sell out fast. So keep a look out for it.

Fitness

According to the October/ November 2008, Corbin Blue talks about how he stays fit while living in hotel rooms.

“We [Monique] bought a medicine ball, a cowbell and band,” said Corbin.

Great way to keep in shape. Some hotels have a gym /and or a swimming pool, but it is probably hard to get down there and use it especially if their fans know of where they are staying it would be a mad house.

According to John Hecht, writer for www.hollywoodreporter.com, that Twentieth Century Fox International has acquired Latin American rights to Corbin Bleu’s new movie, “Free Style.”

It is suppose to open on December 4 in Mexico, and then it is going to be released in other Latin American areas.

It will be released in the United States sometime in February.

According to Valerie Strauss of The Washington Post, Corbin Bleu realized he was famous when he got “mobbed.”

It was after High School Musical one came out, and Bleu was filming a tv show in Hawaii. During a break Corbin decided to go to a carnival. There he was “mobbed.”

“It was very weird but very fun,” Bleu said.

But when Corbin does want to go out and not be recognized, he ties his hair back and wears a hood. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t like to be recognized by his fans.

“I’ve always kept a pretty sane head about it. I am all about the work I do. Not about being famous,” Corbin said.

He admits that his fans are nice and respectful.

Dance Has Changed Over the Years

According to Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Kim Stolz, writers for www.mtv.com, Corbin Bleu talks to MTV about dance.

“Dance has definitely changed over the years, when you look back at Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire,” Bleu said. “At that time, it was viewed upon very well, technically. And now, at least in more of the technical side of it, when you look at dancing, it’s cool to do hip hop,” Corbin added. “I think that’s what’s wonderful about ‘HSM,’ especially this third one. There’s a lot of really masculine numbers, while still maintaining some technical stuff.”

One of those numbers was a dance number with Corbin and Zac Efron – - “The Boys Are Back.” The dance number took place in a junk yard.

“[There was] so much at your fingertips. You have so much to work with,” Bleu said. “We shot that number [over] two consecutive nights into the morning, and the sun was up, so we were very fragile and dead.”

Both of them working hard for their craft and of course their fans.

With his singing and dancing talent he may even do a Broadway Musical.

“I would love to [do a Broadway show] in the future.”

Corbin talks to the October/November 2008 Issue of Twist Magazine, and he tells them about his favorite scene in Highschool Musical 3.

“My favorite scene was working with Zac on “Boys Are Back.” It’s our first real duet together. In this movie, you see emotional contact between Troy and Chad – - real friendship. Off set, we always played video games. We are addicted to Smash Brothers!”

Well they had to do something when they were not on set for a scene. Some actors/actress have pool tables, ping-pong tables and many different things.

Video games can be addictive. If I start one, I do not want to stop. I am not sure why . . . but I can’t. I know that I am not the only one out there it happens to.
