But some people are now saying that since Matt received this award for tending to his lovely locks in such a fabulous way , the award has somehow put a 'curse' on Matty . Is our favourite idol just experiencing a run of bad luck or has the Titanic Tresses award unleashed a supernatural curse on an unsuspecting Matty ? . Lets now look out how recent events have played out .
2008
High School Musical 3 is released . Matt's role as Jimmy 'The Pocket Rocket' Zara is universally praised by Tiger Beat and Pop Star and the Advocate who considered Matt's character ' daring '.

February 2009
Matty - new role
Matt lands a new role in ABC's 'In Motherhood' playing Megan Mullally’s 'perfect' son . But in shock news Matt was deemed 'not perfect' in every way. A fact that is of course unthinkable , Matt is perfect , well at least his hair is . Upon watching the pilot it was deemed that Matt was 'too tall' to play opposite Megan Mullary . As quick as a flash Ryan 'Quintuplets' Pinkston is brought in as a better height match .
'What I'm too tall' ?
Curse Rating = High !- Loss of steady earnings, Matty could have learnt more classic comedy timing from Megan Mullary
Upside = Matt becomes friends with Ryan Pinkston and shares a Jacuzzi at Pinkston HQ
Ryan - the right fit
March 2008
High School Musical 4 is officially announced , But then the hand of fate suddenly intervenes and the whole franchise is deemed to be recast in a bizarre Skins like casting reboot shoot out .
''Houston We have A Problem''
Jimmy no more as the Launch of Matt's Pocket Rocket is abandoned
Curse Rating =High loss of earnings , solo albums (see Corbin Bleu) more photo shoots with Keith Mulryan
Upside = Matt is saved from any blame if the High School Musical 4 tanks after missing the Efron factor .
Meanwhile now between parts , Matt goes 'emo' on twitter ''Its like the largest day ever and I've lost my hair straighteners too'' . Matty later apologies to his followers on Twitter .Then it breaks on twitter that Matty is up for an audition is it the remake of Nightmare on Elm street starring the actors actor Jackie Earle Haley? . No its a sex comedy called 'Cougar Hunters' to be directed by independent film maker Robin Blazak.
Matt wins the part and flies off to Apesen , breaking David Henrie's heart in the process who had been looking forward to some bro bonding time with Matty .
David - Heartbroken
'Cougar Hunting’ tells the tale of Tyler, Dick, and Tom , three post college boys who are over their individual failed relationships with girls their own age.( Is Matt playing all 3 parts in an answer to critics that he can do method and is not just a fabulous fringe? stay tuned )They are persuaded by a friend to road trip out to Aspen, Colorado in pursuit of new and fresh experiences — particularly in the form of love from older women who are a single 40-something “working cougar” who has dedicated herself to a real estate career, a “housewife cougar” who is separated from her husband, and an “uber cougar” who is a former swimsuit model and is “definitely comfortable dating younger men.”
Director Robin Blazak explains “I took a lot of time to make sure we put heart in the movie and that we made the people real,” . “It is not just a dumb sexual comedy. The guys find out that these cougars are people with hearts and real situations. They end up respecting and really enjoying these woman and find that age doesn’t matter that much.”
Director Blazak
But this was not enough for the good people of Aspen who were said to be shocked at the 'bawdy nature' of the script and denied the film permission to film at the Pitkin County courthouse because of the movie’s title and the way the plot was described to them by director Blazak.
Curse Rating = Low. sheer coincidence re the film being denied permission to film , I'm sure they can knock up a court house set or borrow Judge Judy's court room .
Upside = Matt's sure to go shirtless and we know from his twitters he's been hitting that gym and working out .
Matt's plane lands in Aspen , is Matty now curse free ?
