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.

In an interview with Star Magazine, a source says, "Zac’s been told that to go from a teen idol to a major movie star, he has to distance himself from his HSM image. One big thing that means is no more Vanessa. When people see them together, they think of their characters."

We understand Zac's rebranding, but he's such a nice guy and he doesn't strike us as the type of guy who'd break someone's heart just to get ahead in his career.

Ya know I think that would be terrible. I was so proud of the work he did in 17 again and how he did not compromise who he was and the things he stood for or too a trashy role just to get on the big screen and those peopel are stupid if they think that is what the public wants..

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
