zac efron

First he's talking about how he's allergic to ladybits and now he's getting starstruck by one of Hollywood's hottest young male stars. Hmmm.

Twilight hottie Robert Pattinson admits he was overwhelmed when he met High School Musical hunk Zac Efron for the first time.

Zac Efron is trying to graduate from High School Musical into more mature roles both in front of and behind the scenes.

He managed to shop around a film adaptation of a graphic novel called Fire this week at Sundance and inked a deal with Universal to star in and executive produce the thriller.

This weekend Zac Efron headed to the 2009 USPA World Snow Polo Championship in Colorado to watch the event and take in some skiing.

We don't really know what snow polo is, but did you see the pictures of Zac Efron with the puppies?

It's too snowy for Hot Sauce today, but we'll call it the Cute Sauce.

Zac Efron's making his first foray into the world of "serious acting" next month when his new movie Me and Orson Welles comes out, and apparently he's happy with the results.

He told Nylon for Guys as much. He says: "It’s the first time I’ve ever watched a movie [that I’m in] and in the end I’m like, ‘OK! I didn’t check my watch once!'"

Okay, people (boys, really), you're gonna get your wish.

Vanessa Hudgens is stripping her clothes off…again. And apparently, she's really excited about it.

NY Daily News points out a welcome development in young Hollywood: the death of man-bangs.

Victims of the unfortunate hair trend included Zac Efron, Chace Crawford and Jared Leto, but they have all cut their hair recently.

They are now officially men. Er, ... as opposed to boys. We never questioned their gender, promise.

No we won't have to see those unnaturally stiff diagonal hair strips covering their pretty faces anymore.

Even when made out of wax, our Zac-y Pooh is the most popular kid in school.

High School Musical star Zac Efron is the most-kissed waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London.

The 21-year-old idol came first in a poll of 300 people, which was carried out by the famous waxworks museum to see which celebrity waxwork figure visitors most wanted to kiss.

"We encourage our guests to get really up close and personal with our celebrities and there is a lot of puckering up," said the museum's PR manager Liz Edwards.

Neil Patrick Harris aka Doogie Houser is a working actor, again!

Hooray!

NPH just hosted the Tony Awards, and now has landed two movie roles.

And neither will feature White Castle, bummer.

Our favorite teen-genius M.D. will be starring in an indie entitled The Best and the Brightest and will appear alongside Vanessa Hudgens in Beastly.

With all the remakes, we want Doogie Houser, M.D. to hit the big screen.

Make it happen, pretty please!

Zac-y Pooh is scheduled to make a cameo appearance on HBO’s Entourage.

He will appear in an upcoming episode airing July 12 for the show’s sixth season.

Filming took place early Tuesday morning at the Beverly Hills Niketown store.

The show, starring Adrian Grenier and Jeremy “Skeez” Piven will also include appearances by Tom Brady, Lil Wayne and LeBron James in various episodes.

We already set our Tivo.

Entourage + our darling Zac = finger lickin' good!

Speaking of stars wanting to avoid being pigeon-holed...

We've already discussed how Zac Efron is trying to shed his High School Musical image to get more diverse work, part of which was dropping out the forthcoming Footloose remake.

Now rumors are swirling that Zac-y Pooh's being encouraged to drop his girlfriend, fellow Disney-star Vanessa Hudgens, because their relationship reminds people too much of HSM.
