Smart List: Pop culture talking points for Dec. 23-29

One has the option of talking about: The Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade. Sometimes the Disney empire freaks us out. Like when a press release about this annual parade (celebrating 24 years this Christmas) encourages one to watch “television’s happiest parade as it makes its way down Main Street U.S.A.” Regis Philbin, Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest will be on hand to host, and Katharine McPhee and Miley Cyrus will make appearances.

High School Musical

Will we ever stop talking about: “High School Musical.” Is there anything left to say about this made-for-TV phenomenon? Not that we can think of. But that hasn’t stopped Disney from milking the unprecedented success of the show for all it’s worth. Available in stores this week: “High School Musical 2 Non-Stop Dance Party” — “an all-new, continuous dance remix of the entire original soundtrack PLUS… a bonus megamix, international video mix” and so much more!
