There's more than one hot guy roaming the halls of High School Musical.

So if you can take your eyes off Zac Efron for one minute, ladies, let's hear from his co-star Corbin Bleu.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Have you started working on your second album yet?
CORBIN BLEU: Right now I'm actually working on different songs and just trying to figure out where to go next. With the first album [Another Side, released earlier this year], I worked really hard. It was still a first album, though. Now I definitely feel very comfortable, and I want to take it to the next level.

EW: What do you hope to change from the first to the second?
Bleu: I want to have a lot more of my hand in the work of writing it. Just putting my own creative input when it comes to it.

EW: Does this mean you want pursue music more than acting right now?
Bleu: At the moment, because of the [Nextfest summer tour] and everything, I'm focusing on music. But after that's done, what would be ideal for me would be to go do a [big-screen] movie. The last time I did a feature it was called Catch That Kid, so that was a long time ago. There are a lot of different scripts and things that are coming in. We're trying to figure out what's next.

EW: Do you have a dream project or someone you would love to star with?
Bleu: Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors. Meryl Streep â€" I absolutely love her work. Just working with people that are truly legends and who have been though it. That rubs off. You learn from them.

EW: Do you have a role model?
Bleu: I really, really respect Jamie Foxx... He's a beautiful singer, he plays the piano wonderfully, he's an incredible actor. He's just a very well-rounded person. I very much admire that.

EW: As far as High School Musical 3 goes, are you definitely going to sign on?
Bleu: Right now we're in the negotiation process. I would love to be able to see a script. I think all in all it would be really nice to have some closure to this whole HSM phenomenon.

Meanwhile, there's also a High School Musical leading lady not named Ashley Tisdale or Vanessa Hudgens. It's time to hear from Monique Coleman after the jump...

Contrary to a report in yesterday's New York Post, train wreck Britney Spears has not nixed plans to record a duet with her ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake.

In fact, a source close to Britney tells Us Weekly that no such plan existed.

According to the source, "There have been absolutely no plans for Britney and Justin to record a duet together."

For once, we believe the Britney Spears source. There's no way Timberlake would risk his reputation as a serious musician by agreeing to record with this nut job.

Britney Spears. February 2007. Comment rendered unnecessary.

"There have been lots of discussions about who Britney is working with, and Justin has not been one of them," the source says. "Nothing with Justin Timberlake was ever even discussed. Justin has had no time to do it between planning his HBO special, his own Video Music Awards stuff and working with Madonna."

Meanwhile, a source also clarifies the Page Six claims about Spears' record label, Jive, and their concerns about Spears and her insane actions in recent months.

"Jive is still supportive of Britney and has no doubt she will deliver when the time comes. They are invested in her but obviously a little nervous for the performance because nobody exactly knows what she is going to do. She is working feverishly to pull it off. Jive just can't wait until they have music to play for people to show them what Britney has actually done."

Don't hold your breath, Jive.

We're curious as to how frolicking topless in the pool with Matt Encinias, possibly engaging in a lesbian romp with Shannon Funk or getting her freak on with Criss Angel signifies "working," but it's clear Spears is doing some things feverishly, at least.

Count this celebrity news site among those tuning in to the MTV VMAs September 9 to see the fallen star in action. Or to learn she bailed at the last second.

Sorry, Pete Doherty.

While we're constantly impressed by your ability to take drugs, get arrested and avoid jail, the country has spoken - and Terry Fator possesses far more talent than your addicted shell of a body.

The 42-year old ventriloquist was voted the winner of America's Got Talent last night. And while anyone that has seen the Jennifer Toof sex tape may wish to hand that sex-crazed singer the award, take a look at Fator in action below. It's pretty cool:

Move over, Cole Cameron Leinart.

There's another illegitimate, NFL celebrity baby ready to give you a run for your (cute) money.

Actress Bridget Moynahan finally gave birth to her baby boy Wednesday in Los Angeles. A rep for the actress reports that "both mother and baby are doing well."

No word on the little guy's name, weight or whether he can evade a weak-side blitz.

The baby's father, of course, is New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who Moynahan dated for three years prior to breaking up in late 2006.

Since the breakup, Brady has been seeing supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Though it's unclear whether Brady, 30, was present at the birth, he was not at Patriots practice today, and was spotted at an L.A. hospital, carrying flowers. Aww.

In a recent interview with the AP, Tom Brady said he hoped he'd be able to take time off for the birth, though he suspected his schedule and coach might nix that.

"I wish I [knew when the baby will be born]," he told reporters. "That's God's decision. The good lord is making that call. So I think everybody's anxious. I'll put it that way."

Six Degrees star Bridget Moynahan, 36, announced she was pregnant back in February, allegedly surprising her three-time Super Bowl champion ex.

A friend of Tom Brady said at the time: "He's disappointed this is how she's decided to play it. She announced it to make him look like a jerk."

Meanwhile, his official statement read, "Tom and his family are excited about the pregnancy, and want to thank everyone who has shown support."

Reportedly, Kim Kardashian will be posing in Playboy in the coming months.

In the meantime, though, the bootylicious sex tape star is gracing the cover of some magazine called King. She's actually the first non-African American to earn this honor, making it apparent the editors have never heard of Megan Fox.

The publication boasts that Kim will be talking about "Ray J, OJ, and that other running back." If this means that Kardashian has slept with OJ Simpson, well, we wouldn't be surprised.

Take a look at this socialite's giant boobs and huge ass below. Unlike Jenna Jameson, you can bet this vixen won't be reducing either asset any time soon. How else would she ever make celebrity news headlines?

We've all seen Kim Kardashian nude at this point. So why not just bare it all on every magazine cover and make more money?

Cisco Adler wants you to ignore that naked photo.

And his ex-girlfriend.

And the woman that apparently was never his fiancee (Kimberly Stewart).

Basically, Cisco Adler really wants you to forget everything you knew about him previously. Which should be pretty simple, considering how little we actually know about this celebrity gossip staple.

Maybe someday people will forget about this Cisco Adler naked photo. But we doubt it.

The dirty rock star recently whined to Perez Hilton:

"Most people in the world only know me as [the] ex-boyfriend [of Mischa Barton]. And before that as Rod Stewart's daughter's fiance - which is false by the way - and before that as Lou Adler's son in the band with Roy Orbison's son, but under all the bull$%t I'm just like everyone else searching for my own personal legend."

And we hope you find it, Cisco.

In related news: Kimberly Bell wants to be known as more than just the mistress of Barry Bonds.

Hayden Panettiere celebrated her 18th birthday Tuesday in a big, important way ... by registering to vote at the Declare Yourself offices in Beverly Hills!  

Oh, and Hayden Panettiere also held a large birthday bash.

The actress and 75 friends and family partied at LG House in Malibu. On hand to help Hayden drink Diet Cokes were Stephen Colletti (Hayden's oh-so-lucky boyfriend of a year), BFF Rumer Willis and random family hanger-on Mario Lopez.

Also present were Heroes co-stars Adrian Pasdar (and wife Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks), Milo Ventimiglia, Greg Grunberg, Zachary Quinto, and Kristen Bell.

The food was Italian with pasta and Japanese with different types of sushi and rolls. The red velvet cake said (wait for it) "Happy Birthday, Hayden!" Fitting.

Having just turned 18, we suppose it's acceptable that Hayden Panettiere needs some blowing lessons. It took her five tries to get all those candles out!

Jenna Jameson is the anti-Heidi Montag.

No, we don't mean she's dating a perfect gentleman (although we're sure UFC figher Tito Ortiz is very nice). Instead, we're referring to the fact that this former adult film star actually underwent a breast reduction two weeks ago.

As Victoria Beckham and her enormous boobs shake themselves in dismay over this notion, Jameson spoke with Us Weekly about the procedure and more...

On why she had her implants removed:
"When I had implants, I felt uncomfortable. I would be shy at the beach. I know it sounds funny, but I'd wear high-necked clothes â€" unless I was at an adult-film convention. So I thought, Why don't I be who I am and get my real ones back?"

On how removing the implants changed her:
"Even for women with naturally large boobs, getting a reduction is so freeing. I feel like I can stand up straighter…before, when I jogged, I had to hold my boobs. I looked like I was molesting myself!"

On how she felt post-surgery:
"Ecstatic. The first thing I did when I got home was open my bra. I wasn't supposed to but I did. I was so happy, I cried. It was like looking into the mirror when I was 17."

On whether she's done with porn forever:
"Yes. A hundred percent."

* The Hollywood Gossip note: More roles just opened up for Paulina James.

On who will play her in a movie about her life:
"I would love Scarlett Johansson to play me. I think Rachel McAdams is amazing, and Sienna Miller."

* The Hollywood Gossip note: Maybe that's why a nude Sienna Miller was showing off her body this week. She's practicing for the role.

On celebrating her one-year anniversary with boyfriend Tito:
"I had my surgery while he was in Iraq on a USO tour. He was so excited: ‘I'm coming home to brand new boobies.'"

Nicole Richie was spotted yesterday afternoon in Westwood, and let us be the first to tell you that the anorexic waste has finally put on a couple of pounds!

Of course, it took a fetus growing in her for that to happen.

The worthless mother to be is no longer hiding her four-month baby bump, that's for sure. Check out this pic of her in a gray, stretchy dress with black sweater, accentuating the little spawn of Joel Madden nestled all up in that anemic ass womb. 

Joel Madden, Nicole Richie's beau and baby daddy, apparently proposed last week to the soon-to-be incarcerated mama. Though he hasn't said so publicly.

We don't intend on asking him, either. As Spencer Pratt recently learned the hard way, talk smack about Nicole and Joel will walk over at the club beat your ass.

As for the status of her pregnancy, we're optimistic... well, at least a little, after Nicole revealed to Diane Sawyer that since getting knocked up, she learned to "just say no." Phew.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is looking to call a time out ... and not because of the team's preseason offensive struggles.

No, he's seeking time away from the team as he awaits the birth of his first child with his former girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan.

Will he get it?

"I hope so," Brady said Monday, noting that he'll need the approval of coach Bill Belichick in the face of the Patriots' very busy schedule.

"Bill has a lot to say, so we'll deal with it when it happens."

On Friday, Brady is due to play Carolina in the third of four boring exhibition games, with the Pats' first regular season game on September 9 against the N.Y. Jets.

According to People, Brady declined to answer when asked if Moynahan will deliver the child before the Jets game. This may be because Tom Brady is not God.

But the Super Bowl-winning signal caller, who is now dating Gisele Bündchen, says he is eagerly awaiting the call in which he learns he's officially a dad.

"I think everybody's anxious," Tom Brady said, smiling. "I'll put it that way."

When asked if he jumps every time the phone rings, he added, "It's stuff that's very private and it's my family... it won't be hard to figure out when it happens."

As for asking for time off, he said: "Certainly, a lot of people make sacrifices for family, and I'm dealing with a certain situation, a very joyous, happy situation. Some people have dealt with death in the past, and that's incredibly difficult."

Chimed in Belichick: "Personal situations are all talked about and dealt with on an individual basis. It doesn't matter who the player is. There are plenty that have come up through the course of the year. I'll deal with them like I do all of them."

No word on whether Alex Rodriguez has asked for time away from the New York Yankees so that he may hit up strip joints with Joslyn Noel Morse.
