STA extends a warm welcome to Lisa-Marie from Glasgow, who previously guest-blogged about Jennifer Hudson’s assistant role in the Sex and the City movie. Now, she’s weighing in on Jemma Mackenzie-Brown (pictured), who plays the PA to bratty rich girl Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) in ‘”High School Musical 3.”
