THE CHEETAH GIRLS 3

"We're going to India in January to shoot the third Cheetah Girls movie, and we are over-the-moon about it," beamed the bubbly Williams. "The fact that we're going to live there for three months is out of this world.

""We just met with our director, who's amazing," she said of Kenny Ortega, the TV veteran who directed both "High School Musical" movies and the last "Cheetah" flick. "It's going to be something very different for the Cheetah Girls, definitely pushing the envelope as far as what the Disney Channel will allow us to do.

"Fans can expect a very different version of the group this time around, now that all three girls are in their 20s, Raven (a.k.a. Raven Symone, who played Galleria) has left the group to focus on her own career, and the script has Chanel, Dorinda and Aqua traveling to the Land of the Tiger.

"It's going to be a bit more adult because we're getting older," Williams revealed of the plot. "You've seen us as [high school] freshmen, as sophomores, and now we're going to college. We're a little bit older, and there are more boys involved in our lives — and a lot more romance.

""Cheetah Girls 3: One World!"" is targeting an August 2008 release on the Disney Channel and features the three ladies competing against each other to land a starring role in the kind of elaborate, dance-filled, romantic feature film that has become an Indian trademark. Appropriately enough, the Girls are already altering their act to include all those wrist-twisting Bollywood dance moves.
