With the LOOOOONG wait for Ashley Tisdale's "It's Alright, It's Ok" video finally over, and the wait for her next album, Guilty Pleasure ALMOST over, let's look at five fast facts about Ashley's new break-up video, "It's Alright, It's OK," okay? Okay! You may be shocked (shocked!) to discover how many Zac Efron connections are contained in just this one video -- and not just because Ashley's in it. Oh, and there's even a Twilight tie-in too!

1.) In the very beginning of the video, Ashley kicks over a garden gnome. Not only are those things scary, but the first garden gnome was made in the Gräfenroda region of Germany in the mid 1800s. A group of gnomes is referred to as a "donsy." (Jeopardy! question alert!)

2.) In the video, Ashley's cheating ex-boyfriend is played by actor Adam Gregory, who's got another Zac Efron connection besides the fact that he's in "It's Alright, It's OK" with Ashley Tisdale -- he was also in 17 Again. WITH ZAC EFRON. Adam Gregory's also on the new 90210. Who was also on 90210? Kellan Lutz -- hello, Twilight tie-in! Adam Gregory was also in Hannah Montana: The Movie (Miley alert!), and was once in a Chili's commercial, apparently.

3.) Can you handle ANOTHER Zac Efron "It's Alright, It's Okay" connection? Good. The video was filmed in L.A., which is WHERE ZAC EFRON LIVES!

4.) One of the guys Ashley takes those revenge photos with is Brazilian underwear model Edilson Nascimento. He's modeled for Guess, but did I also mention he's an underwear model? Because he is. He DEFINITELY is.

5.) "It's Alright, It's OK" was directed by Scott Speer, who also directed V Factory's "Love Struck" video (ahem), as well as Aly & AJ's "Like Woah." Aly and AJ... WENT TO ZAC EFRON'S BIRTHDAY PARTY in 2008! But, back to Ashley Tisdale -- she and Scott Speer are totally dating! Cute!

Johnny Wright has held the hands of pretty much every major pop act of the past 20 years and guided them to astronomical success. I'm talkin' New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ciara, The Jonas Brothers, Menudo and somehow, many more. When does he sleep? Does he eat? Honestly? No idea.

Anyway, believe it or not, this pop genius just threw a distress signal up on this one video site you never heard of, asking for help in naming a new five-member supergroup he's putting together. Now, in case you're unfamiliar, "supergroup" generally means that everybody involved is already famous. Not 100% sure if that's the case here, but based on Wright's flirty tone when he promises to reveal the names of the five members once he has a name. "I've got a very special surprise for you," he says. Well Johnny, we got your band name RIGHT here! Five of them, in fact! Read 'em and weep, wizard!

+ Prehab
+ Stimulus Package
+ Cyrus, Lovato, Swift, Michalka and Gomez
+ The Suleman 8
+ One Of Us Will Be Huge

Watch Johnny Wright's video at Tommy2.net, submit your own (admittedly lesser) band name suggestions to WEGmusic.com and please, at least consider giving us a little bite of your special surprise (unless it's Lou Perlman :o)? THANKS.

aly_and_aj.jpgWhile Aly and AJ were winding down after hosting TRL the other day, we hung out with the girls in their dressing room and got some scoop about their "Insomniatic" tour. They told us that soon after they perform in Kansas on Sept. 16, they'll be heading to Europe and Japan. And, of course, they're "really excited" about going overseas. See what other juicy morsels we got while talking to the sisters here.
