The Morning Mix: Zac Efron And Vanessa Hudgens Call It Quits

Tue Dec 14 2010 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?

:: The tween set's Brangelina, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, have broken up after dating for several years. Guess turning High School Musical into a quadrilogy will remain a pipe dream. (Same goes for the absurd rumor of them co-hosting the U.S. version of The X Factor.) [MTV Buzzworthy]

:: Keri Hilson can't please everybody. [Celebuzz]

:: Emerson College does a Lady Gaga medley lip dub. [Best Week Ever]

:: Michael Jackson fans are protesting an upcoming Discovery Channel documentary about the King of Pop's death, which will include an autopsy done on an "anatomically correct synthetic cadaver." [Spinner]

:: Taylor Swift spent her 21st birthday in a recording studio in Nashville. Too bad, we're sure Miley could have thrown her one heck of a party. [Just Jared]

Selena Gomez Gets Dipped In Wax—Rate Pop’s Best Wax Figures

Thu Mar 18 2010 by Becky Bain

Selena Gomez’s fans might not be able to get too close to the Disney star (at least not without being interrupted by her bodyguards), but they can get up close and personal with her newly unveiled wax figure. The “Naturally” singer’s synthetic doppelganger made a brief cameo on set of The Wizards of Waverly Place before being re-routed to the Madam Tussauds in D.C. Catch a few glimpses of the two Selenas during an E! News report (over at Just Jared Jr.), then tell us— how does the Disney star’s plastic figure stack up against previous pop stars’ waxworks? It’s time for Hot or Not: Wax Figure edition! Tell us in the comments which wax figure lives up to its real life counterpart, and which one should just be melted down into a celebrity-scented candle.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs Try To Add Something To “Saturday Night Live”

Mon Apr 13 2009 by Maura

This weekend’s Saturday Night Live was another sign that the show’s writers are still trying to figure out how to navigate the post-Sarah Palin landscape, with a sorta-depressing skit about host Zac Efron’s realization that he will never shake the “teen idol” tag placed around his neck by High School Musical being the nominal highlight; there was also a sketch featuring Bon Jovi “opposite band” Jon Bovi that went on so long, I pictured the show’s director waving frantically behind the camera, making gum-stretching gestures at Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte out of fear that the show would end at 12:45. Oh, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs played, too; the trio performed their new single “Zero” (which I really want to hear the Killers’ take on, to be honest; at the very least, Karen O and Brandon Flowers are kindred spirits in shoulder-plumage) and the old chestnut “Maps,” I guess in the hopes that the Zac-loving tweens who tuned in would remember the song from their brothers’ endless Rock Band sessions. Clips after the jump.

Exactly What Is Sexy These Days?

Thu Nov 20 2008 by Lucas Jensen

Is it Ezra Koenig? Is it Zac Efron? Is it Jay-Z? Is it Lang Lang? Is it Blake Shelton?!? Some publications seem to think so. It’s the end of the year, and that can only mean one thing: lists, lists, and more lists. People Magazine is out with its famed Sexiest Man Alive 2008 list, which manages to stay noteworthy despite the fact that Nick Nolte won the award in 1992. Musically speaking, they gave runners-up to Efron, Lang Lang, and Blake Shelton.

How The “Weezy And Zac Sittin’ In A Tree” Rumor Became Today’s Biggest Rumor In The World

Tue Dec 18 2007 by Maura

Artists: Lil Wayne/Zac Efron.
Rumor: The two of them are not only collaborating on a High School Musical remix album, they’re totally making out. And Weezy’s rubbed off so much on Zac, the Disney-bred cutie is dropping the N-bomb!
First Mention: The OC Weekly printed “The Efron Scandal,” which made these claims, on Thursday, and author Ben Westhoff tipped us off to the story Friday. But we didn’t run it, because it was pretty freaking obvious that it was a goof. Take this sentence: “‘I’m just being me,’ Wayne insists, leading a tour of his recently purchased oceanfront house, which features a faux-bronze statue of his own nude figure, and a Juicy Fruit-dispensing bathroom attendant who lives on the premises full-time.” I mean, in ninth grade I fell for the old “gullible isn’t in the dictionary” joke and even I realized this was someone having a 675-word laugh.
