If you're between between 16 and 22 years old, you can audition!
The hunt will be on for a new "High School Musical" star when NICK LACHEY takes the reins as host of a new ABC reality show.
"High School Musical: Summer Session" debuts Sunday, July 20 at 8 p.m. EST. The series will chronicle the search for the newest cast member of the hit movie series. 'High School Musical 3,' which will be the first 'HSM' movie to hit the big screen, is currently in production.
Open casting calls for show commence Sunday, April 27 at Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California, and continue on Wednesday, May 7 at Champion Stadium in Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida. Anyone between the ages of 16 and 22 can audition (those under 18 must bring a parent or legal guardian) -- just prepare to possibly be on TV! Both casting calls will form the early episodes of the series.
The bash -- sponsored by ProFlowers and PAMA -- starts at 10 p.m. with DJ AM kicking out the tunes.
The party is open to the public. VIP tables are available by calling (502) 560-1400.

COLUMBUS - Team Lachey, the 20-member amateur choir that won television's "Clash of the Choirs" on Dec. 20, is expected to be honored today on the floor of the Ohio House.
State Rep. Dale Mallory, a West End Democrat, will present about half the amateur ensemble's members a resolution. Also nicknamed "Team Cincinnati," the choir won $250,000 for Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center during a live four-night NBC television contest.
Chuck Merk, a Lakota West High School math teacher who sings with the choir, said about 10 choir members also have been invited to a private reception with Gov. Ted Strickland.
College Hill native Nick Lachey, the choir's director, is unable to attend today's ceremonies.
"We appreciate good deeds," said Cynthia Ellis, Mallory's legislative aide. "They've done so much for Cincinnati. I'm tickled pink."
Team Lachey has performed locally several times since its nationally-televised victory, including at the Reds' season opener March 30. The choir sang "Amazing Grace" to mark the passing of Joe Nuxhall and fellow Reds Bob Purkey, Bob Howsam and Chief Bender this past offseason.
During the December finale in New York, the ensemble sang "Sing A Song" by Earth, Wind & Fire, and the 1967 Louis Armstrong classic, "What A Wonderful World." Choirs from Philadelphia, Houston, Oklahoma City and New Haven, Conn., also competed.

Should your dog be on Times Square?
Drew Lachey and his German shepherd, Luka, have teamed up with Purina Dog Chow to help turn Times Square into a virtual dog park.
Through April 28, dog lovers can go to www.pictureyourdogintimessquare.com to upload a favorite photo of their dog (or dogs) to create the nation's largest virtual dog park.
On June 19, valid photos will be featured on the Reuters/NASDAQ Digital Tower Billboards in Times Square. The digital displays also will be simulcast on the Purina Dog Chow virtual online dog park at www.longliveyourdog.com so you don't need to be at Times Square to see your dog.
If you register with Long Live Your Dog, you can take part in a chance to win a five-day, four-night getaway to New York City with a guest and your dog.
Dog lovers also can send customized voice messages from Lachey through a viral voice message to family and friends.
Real-life dog parks will also benefit, as Dog Chow is creating a dog park grant program. Up to $40,000 will be given away to provide funding for maintenance and upkeep of dog-friendly and off-leash areas.
