This is the first of the Cheetah Girls movies that Raven-Symoné does not star in. She didn't tour with the Cheetah's in 2006-2007 in their "The Party's Just Begun Tour" and is not featured in their first non-soundtrack album, released in 2007. The absence of her character, Galleria Garibaldi, is explained as her being attending University of Cambridge in England.
During filming for the movie, Rob Kardashian won a trip to India and a camera from his sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian to visit Adrienne Bailon in the sets as she was his girlfriend at the time and he couldn't stand being away from her. The event was featured in a episode of the series Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2007).
