Count Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens among the latest celebrities to offer their assistance to the victims of this month's earthquake in Haiti.

The cute couple have agreed to help George Lopez raise funds for that nation at Help Haiti, a concert taking place on Thursday, February 4.

Zac and Vanessa join stars such as Ray Ramono, Margaret Cho and Ozzy Osbourne at the event. Visit LopezTonight.com for more information on it.

Writes the comedian on his website:

“The people of Haiti need our help. On Thursday, February 4th, I am throwing a benefit concert called “Help Haiti” at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE here in Los Angeles. The best musicians, comedians and athletes will be there for the cause, including my friends Andy Garcia, Slash and Samuel Jackson.

"One-hundred percent of the proceeds will go to directly to Haiti to help the victims and their families. Keep checking this page for more information on how to purchase tickets for Help Haiti."

It's a great cause. Hopefully Efron and Hudgens get more dressed up for it than they are above.

Exciting, unconfirmed Zanessa news out of the tabloid world this morning:

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron may soon become roommates!

A source told the print edition of In Touch Weekly that things keep getting better between this pair, as Hudgens wants to spend as much time with her man as possible.

“When Vanessa was apart from Zac while filming her upcoming movies Beastly and Sucker Punch, she realized how much she missed him and loved being around him all the time," the insider said. "When she got back to LA, she told him she wanted them to move in together."

Referring to the adorable pair as “as young, but very serious about each other," the friend adds that house hunting may soon commence.

Last week, in a similar move, Liam Hemsworth reportedly moved in with Miley Cyrus (and her parents). We'd like to send both these couples best wishes. May you never fight about dirty dishes in the sink!

As we head into a new decade, who are the young celebrities on whom we should keep an eye?

While this comes as no surprise to THG staff members and readers, Vanity Fair has cited a pair of "Women to Watch Out For." They are... drumroll in full force... Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez!

Each rising star is interviewed in the magazine. What do they think of fame, fortune and celebrity crushes? A few excerpts from each young beauty are below:

Hudgens, on growing up: “I started off as a super-shy girl, extremely hesitant. Now I’m really growing into my own person. I can actually take care of myself, which my mom thought would never happen.”

Hudgens, on the paparazzi: “It was like, ‘Oh, my God! No way! So cool.’ The second day it happens, it’s like, Never mind. Maybe it’s not as cool as I thought it’s going to be.”

Gomez, on her well-known crush: "I am obsessed with Shia LaBeouf. He’s gorgeous and he’s a phenomenal actor. I haven’t met him — I think I’d have a heart attack if I did. I’ll wait till I’m older so that I can work with him. Maybe I’ll have calmed down by then."

The February Vanity Fair issue hits comes out on Thursday, January 21.

Vanessa Hudgens might have a nice body, but the actress wants to keep it to herself. And Zac Efron, of course.

The actress is suing the owners of www.moejackson.com because the website has posted her most recent nude photos - described in the suit as "self-portrait photographs" - and has refused to take them down.

"The photos were obtained by unknown methods and posted on the internet by an unknown person without Hudgens' knowledge or consent," reads the lawsuit's documents.

Oddly, TMZ reports Hudgens has registered the naked pics with the U.S. Copyright Office. Her lawyers are seeking monetary compensation for damages from Butter Media, the company that owns the domain.

We're all for justice, Vanessa, but you do realize this lawsuit will draw attention to your naked pictures on that website, don't you? Perhaps that's your Christmas present to young male fans around the world.

It was her party, and Vanessa Hudgens could have cried if she wanted to... but, instead, she chose to get really dressed up.

The actress celebrated her 21st birthday last night by dining at EAST Restaurant and Bar in North Hollywood with attractive boyfriend Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale and others.

While Efron donned casual attire for the affair, Hudgens sent a message: I'm all grown up now! Look at her outfit:

Of course, a short skirt and fancy hairstyle isn't the only sign that Hudgens has moved on from High School Musical.

Her next starring role is in Sucker Punch, a movie directed by Zack Snyder, best known for the bloody and violent 300, among other R-rated flicks.

For her 21st birthday, Vanessa Hudgens will not be receiving a digital camera from The Hollywood Gossip.

However, our staff has chipped in and purchased many layers of clothing for the young star. After all, we wanna see her succeed on the big screen... just not as an adult film actress!

The rising star celebrates a milestone today, finally turning the legal drinking age. We'd imagine she raises a flute of champagne or two with dreamy boyfriend Zac Efron.

What do you get a young woman that has a successful career and a hunk on her arm? Aside from advice to never pose naked again, we can only come up with birthday wishes from an adoring public. Send them in today!

In honor of Hudgie Bear, we also present the following photo tribute. Click on each pic for a larger image...

While many readers may still be ogling Zac Efron and his recently-released 2010 calendar photos, the stud muffin's girlfriend is also featured in a new photo shoot.

Vanessa Hudgens covers the upcoming issue of Allure, which hits newsstands on September 22.

This month marks the two-year anniversary of the actress' infamous naked picture scandal, a topic that Hudgens still cannot avoid in interviews. Look at what she told Allure when asked if she'd ever get naked in a movie:

"If I say that it’s something I’m not comfortable with, they’re like, ‘Bullsh-t, you’ve already done it.’ If anything, it makes it more embarrassing, because that was a private thing. It’s screwed up that someone screwed me over like that. At least some people are learning from my mistakes.”

Some people not named Ashley Greene, that is.

On a sweeter, more innocent note, Vanessa talked with the magazine about her mom:

“I love her to death. She’s the sweetest, happiest woman I’ve ever met, the most free-spirited, delightful person, and I aspire to be just like her. The older I get, the more I find myself like my mom. She just has the best outlook.”

Did you ever consider Polaroid?
Yes. But then I figured there was no chance the photos would get leaked and I wouldn't be the top search term on Google for a day.
Same here. I can't believe you shaved it all!

When Ashley Greene and Vanesa Hudgens get together, as the pair did this week in Vancouver, what do you think they discuss?

Considering the fact that each young actress has had nude photos of hers leaked online in the past month, it's safe to assume that naked picture tips are a major topic of conversation.

We wonder if they even recognize each other with clothes on...

Nudity talk aside, a question remains: What was Vanessa Hudgens doing in Vancouver?

Just shooting her next movie, Sucker Punch? Or is the speculation that she may appear in Eclipse, a cameo that fans of the franchise seem torn over, valid? Would you wanna see a bit of High School Musical infused with the Twilight Saga?

Vanessa Hudgens is not engaged to Zac Efron.

While reports this morning indicated the pair had definitive plans to walk down the aisle, Hudgens was simply asked a hypothetical question by Great Britain's News of the World, to which she replied:

“We haven’t set a date and if we did we’d keep it secret for as long as possible. Why? What if one of us was offered a major film part? Then we’d have to postpone our marriage and people would say we’d split up. And we don’t want that.”

No, you sure don't. Then again, you don't want the Internet buzzing about your recently-leaked nude photos, either; so perhaps this engagement talk was meant to distract online readers.

Meanwhile, Efron and Hudgens were spotted over the weekend at what's quickly becoming the Concert Heard 'Round the Tween World.

They escorted Zac's little brother to the King of Leon performance in Canada. Yes, the same one at which Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted nearly making out.

Speaking of which, riddle us this: Which couple is cuter, Zanessa or Robsten?

Granted, Vanessa Hudgens has a penchant for nudity.

But that doesn't make her a bad person.

Coming off a week in which the actress has faced a stream of criticism - most notable from unfunny "comedian" Dane Cook - Vanessa's co-stars are coming to her defense.

"It's so totally uncool," Charlie Saxton, who appears opposite Hudgens in Bandslam, said of the negativity around his friend. "It's like, come on. Give me a break. She's such a sweet person, such a nice girl."

Vanessa Hudgens has a smile on her face, and clothes on her back (for a change).

Meanwhile, Aly Michalka (another Bandslam star) has a theory for why everyone is so harsh to Hudgens: pure jealousy.

After all, have you seen who she's dating?!?

"I think that it's about people being hard on people just to be hard on them," Michalka said. "It's hard to avoid that sometimes... I think it really is based on that and I think maybe her being with [Zac Efron]."
