Corbin Bleu is solid gold

Star of "High School Musical" Corbin Bleu is killing onstage in a well-scrubbed Disney kind of way.
The 17-year-old actor is selling out nationwide performances in a concert tour that's delivering the hot stars of Disney Channel's hit TV movie to fans, which seemingly number in the millions.
According to Bleu, there isn't enough time for misbehaving.
"At this moment, I am ready to fall," Bleu said by phone to the AP from New York, a few hours before a Long Island concert. "Last night, we finished our show (in Washington, attended by 14,000-plus), got on the bus, drove until 4 in the morning to get here, then woke up to go to a hotel.
"The thing is, I'm having so much fun that it's hard to notice when my adrenaline goes."
In between the concerts, Bleu is promoting a new Disney Channel movie he stars in, Jump In!
Bleu plays a younger boy, Izzy, in Jump In!, about a 14-year-old New Yorker from a long line of boxing champions who's expected to keep the tradition alive. He's on board until he discovers double-Dutch jump rope, an athletic version using two ropes moving at Mach 5 speed and relies on martial-arts moves and complex dance steps to finesse.
Bleu dons his trademark mop of hair in the film, which co-stars Keke Palmer of critically acclaimed sleeper, "Akeelah and the Bee" and his real-life dad, actor David Reivers.
Reivers has appeared in "My Name is Earl" and in "Poseidon" and other films, plays Izzy's dad, a former boxer who's not happy initially at his son's athletic path.
Reivers is Bleu's longtime acting coach. "I look up to him so much. I always said the three people I want to work with are Johnny Depp, Denzel Washington and my dad. There's one off my list," said Corbin of his Dad.
"It was probably the best working experience of my life. Coaching Corbin his whole life, we know each other," said Reivers, who calls Bleu "an old soul" and proudly deems him one of the best young actors around, reported the AP.
"People don't get to see positive African-American father figures (in movies) really working hard to raise their kids in positive ways and not have it be about drugs or alcohol or something negative," Reivers said to the AP.
