Sharpay's new snout

Recognize this lovely young lass? No? Here's a hint: She stars in your 13-year-old's two favorite made-for-Disney Channel movies. That's right, it's High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale, formerly of a big nose, and now of a much smaller one. Tisdale unveiled her new beak at the Z100 Jingle Ball Christmas concert at Madison Square Garden over the weekend. The actor went under the knife to repair a deviated septum, and it looks like the doc took a little off the top while he was at it. Don't like Sharpay's new schnozz? Head to blogs.tampabay.com/juice to share your take. By the way, Sharpay is the name of Tisdale's character in the new movie.

Pam and Rick split - maybe

If the over-under line on Pam Anderson's marriage to sex-tape king Rick Salomon was three months, we hope you took the under. Because Anderson filed for divorce Friday in Los Angeles. According to TMZ, Anderson - who was married only three months to Kid Rock - asked for spousal support after only 72 days of wedded bliss. (We know, we know - how could a relationship that reportedly started during a game of strip poker possibly end in failure?) Here's the thing, though: Later Monday afternoon, TMZ said Anderson and Salomon were trying to reconcile - they were seen shopping together on Sunday, and a post on Anderson's blog said: "P.S.: We're working things out ..." These crazy kids, with their sex tapes and their wacky conceptions of the holy tradition of matrimony!

'Lost' moves to Thursdays

The trailer for J.J. Abrams' new thriller Cloverfield is online (see blogs.tampabay.com/juice), but the bespectacled spookmeister got another little bit of news this week about his day job. Since the writers' strike is putting an end to new episodes of shows like Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty, ABC is moving Lost to Thursdays at 9 p.m., with the premiere set for Jan. 31. Only eight episodes have been filmed of the upcoming season, but producers still promise a mini-cliffhanger at the end of the eight-week run. If the show stretches beyond that, well, you're out of luck.

Price is wrong, kiddo

Aside from the Cliff Hangers yodeler, the best part about The Price is Right is the part where the announcer screams, "A new car!" sending the audience into a fit of orgiastic glee. Well, this puts a damper on things: A woman who won a car on the show in 2004 is claiming that the "new car" she won, a 2004 Pontiac GTP Coupe, was actually a rehabilitated wreck. Donna Tillman filed a lawsuit Thursday saying that when she paid the taxes and license fees on the vehicle, she was told it had mechanical problems and damage to its frame that had been repaired and concealed. The Pontiac dealer who supplied the car said the car was only damaged after Tillman drove it. Reps for the show had no comment. The Juice* says they should settle this the way the elders did: On the Plinko board.

AFI loves 'Knocked Up'

The American Film Institute has knocked out its top 10 flicks of the year, and Knocked Up is on the list. It's not the first time a Judd Apatow comedy has gotten that kind of love from the AFI; The 40 Year-Old Virgin got the same kind kudos a couple of years ago. Other flicks to make this year's list: No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (apparently this was a good year for movies with long, clunky titles), Michael Clayton, The Savages, Ratatouille, Into the Wild and Juno. See these movies, or else no one will think you're cool.
