Zac Efron
Gossip

We're terribly sorry, Zac Efron.

As major fans of yours, we're embarrassed and ashamed that we didn't acknowledge your 22nd birthday yesterday.

Perhaps next time you should rent out a club, or Disneyland, in a self-serving celebration that ensures the entire world is aware of the anniversary of your birth.

Please accept our apologies, though, Zac, along with the photo montage in your honor below - and our plea to readers to send in their birthday wishes to this lovable hunk right now. He deserves them.

Based on his interview in the November issue of Nylon, Zac Efron reminds us a lot of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Not only don't you see these young, talented stars at clubs; you actually see them shunning the spotlight.

They seem legitimately overwhelmed and confused by fame. Case in point, Efron's quote in the aforementioned magazine:

"You can’t enjoy or celebrate [fame]; it’s not a real thing. The face on the lunchbox and sh-t; you can’t share that with your friends.”

What a refreshing point of view. No wonder Vanessa Hudgens likes this guy.

Efron touched on a couple of other subjects during the interview, as well:

On music in his life: “I was constantly singing [growing up]. I would hear things on the radio and just be able to spit them out instantly, with perfect memorization and tone. It wasn’t like I took pride in it; there was no effort. My parents were like ‘Shut up. Please stop singing. It’s annoying.’”

On whether celebrities should record albums: “If anyone asked themselves that, then we wouldn’t have the crap we are listening to today. If your heart’s not in it, don’t do it. And don’t do it for money. That’s my philosophy.”

His girlfriend may have posed nude many months ago, but fans will need to keep waiting for Zac Efron to truly make like Vanessa Hudgens.

For now, followers of this talented young star must settle for a handful of sexy, alluring photos from the actor's 2010 wall calendar.

Images from the upcoming stocking stuffer have been released and they simply lend credence to what Megan Fox said about Efron a couple weeks ago: "He’s beautiful. He’s the next Elizabeth Taylor."

Or he's simply the first Zac Efron.

In The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, Zac Efron plays a character who mourns the death of his brother by working at the cemetery where his body is buried.

He also sees visions of his sibling and falls in love with a woman that...

... oh, who cares? Efron gets shirtless in the movie! Isn't that the important thing, ladies?

Showing off his six pack and his happy trail, Zac proves that Vanessa Hudgens isn't the only member of this couple that can bare her skin:

The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud comes out in 2010. The photo above just guaranteed it a spot atop the box office rankings.

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?

Troy Bolton vs. Edward Cullen.

Singing vs. blood-sucking.

Straight hair vs. shaggy.

No matter how you break down this Fashion Face-Off, courtesy of last night's Teen Choice Awards red carpet, readers are faced with a difficult decision. Choosing between Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson is akin to selecting one's favorite parent.

If both parents were strapping young men that could each make butter melt just by staring at it, that is.

Still, one must sometimes do what is most challenging. It builds character. With that in mind, compare and contrast the hunks below and then share your thoughts on each...

Who looks hotter?

We hope you're sitting down, residents of the Tweeniverse.

This news is gonna rock your world!

A reliable source has told Moviehole that Zac Efron might star opposite Miley Cyrus in a reboot of the 1950s movie series Gidget.

Those films, and the proposed flick that would feature two of the biggest teen icons on the planet, were based on the 1957 novel, Gidget, the Little Girl with Big Ideas. The novel tracks the adventures of a young woman and her surfing friends on the beach at Malibu.

O...M...G! Miley Cyrus and Zac Efron might woo one another on screen in the near future.

If this deal goes through, Cyrus would take on the title role, while Efron would play her love interest.

Earlier this month, remember, Miley admitted her crush on Zac. Perhaps Vanessa Hudgens should truly be worried now.

Look away, Nick Jonas!

Earlier this week, Miley Cyrus was feeling under the weather. Based on a Twitter posting, however, it sounds like she was wishing she were under Zac Efron.

Never one to shy away from telling fans pretty much every thought that enters her head - no matter how personal, inappropriate or inane - Cyrus Tweeted:

"Me and mom are seriously sitting here staring at Zac Efron on Google images. Girls I totally get it! He is gorgeous!"

So is his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens. Watch what you say, Miley.

Is Miley Cyrus making a play for Zac Efron? The Tweeniverse might explode if she does.

Zac Efron might have a new girlfriend.

But he definitely has a new haircuit!

The young actor, who created a stir by dining with Megan Fox this week, has cut off his trademarks locks.

Brace yourselves, ladies, you're in for a whole new Zac now. Does his adorable face make up for anything he does with his hair? Or do you wish he'd have thought twice before giving the order to cut away?

Megan Fox is either playing games with the paparazzi, or with the hearts of a few leading men.

The Transformers star has been involved in a roller coaster relationship with Brian Austin Green; during one of their rumored breaks, she was spotted getting cozy with co-star Shia LaBeouf.

Then, just as rumors of her reconciliation with Green surfaced, the Internet has been hit with a bombshell: Fox had dinner with Zac Efron this week!

The pair dined Tuesday night at Pace, an upscale restaurant in Los Angeles. According to a witness:

"They were very friendly and their faces were close when they talked."

Fox has been open about her affection for the 21-year-old High School Musical beefcake. The two reportedly flirted at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards, which was followed by Megan's odd quote:

"What you don't know is that Zac and I are the same person. It's like Janet and Michael [Jackson], we are the same person."

While Fox may or may not be single, everyone knows the status of Efron: he's been dating Vanessa Hudgens for years. What would she have to say about this news?
