Zac Efron Joins Matt Damon's Weight Gain Club Just For Fun, Not For The Art Of Any Craft
It's pretty remarkable how someone as femme and shiny-haired as Zac Efron can achieve every man’s goal of perfecting abs, biceps and pecs in the span of just one year. Last we checked, Zac was just a teenage song-and-dance kid who adored his skinny jeans collection, not a member of the Beefcake Of The Month club. As painful as this is to admit, we kind of, maybe, possibly may have had highly illegal and disturbingly hot dream scenarios in which we get to grab Zac’s abs, biceps and pecs. As in the old version. Let us know if you agree after a quick look at how Scrawny Efron compares to McCounaghey Body Double Efron: More »

Casting The Upcoming '90210' Spinoff
Break out your varsity jackets and teasing combs, because Beverly Hills: 90210 is getting a B12 shot in the ass. As THR reports this morning, the beloved fictional halls of West Beverly will be refurbished and re-populated with a brand new spinoff on the CW. Though a pilot has yet to be written by Veronica Mars producer Rob Thomas, and the tweeny network has yet to sign any papers, we'd like to prevent Aaron Spelling from rolling over in his grave by offering our own suggestions for who should play the new versions of Brenda, Brandon and their rotating group of bed buddies. Although we kinda doubt a marching band dusted with school spirit could help our Donna Martin graduate...

Hollywood Reacts To The DGA Deal
· The DGA, as you undoubtedly heard just moments after puffs of white smoke were belched skyward from the chimney of AMPTP headquarters, reached a deal with the studios yesterday. While anxious WGA members are picking over the proposed contract to see if any writer-screwing provisions have been hidden in the fine print, a strike-weary industry reacts: "One thing that is very clear is that with all the bad blood between the WGA and studios, the writers can strike until the end of time and they will not do better than the directors did. It is time to stop this," said a "veteran agent" obviously eager to start earning commissions again. Check out the full story to read quotes carefully chosen to make the WGA look totally unreasonable if they don't fall hopelessly in love with the terms offered the directors!

Zac Efron down! We repeat, teenybopper heartthrob Zac Efron is down! The High School Musical star was rushed to hospital today to have his appendix removed. Efron is recovering nicely, and has agreed to sign the mostly useless, prone-to-rupturing tissue for an eBay celebrity-organ auction, where it's expected to fetch a large sum earmarked for The Children's Appendicitis Fund.

Zac Efron Tops Something During The Listiest Time Of The Year
During this end-of-year, list-making bonanza time, the one chart-topper whose name we desperately wanted to see (Zac Efron), we feared we would not. We figured the Crown Prince of Tweensmanship would tumble through the Hollywood censusing cracks, qualifying him for neither Sexiest Man nor Highest Paid Actress Alive honors. Luckily, the people behind essential desk reference The Celebrity Black Book—the Gray's Anatomy for the science of celebrity stalking—have compiled a "Most Wanted" Celebrity of 2007 list ("for autographs, donations, endorsements and media requests from fans, businesses, nonprofits and the media,"), giving Efron the edge over even the likes of such hotly wanted personalities as Oprah Winfrey and Angelina Jolie: More »

It's Like 'Big,' But Backwards, And With Only Enough Money In The Casting Budget To Get Matthew Perry
· Var insightfully notes that picket lines full of bored writers marching in endless circles with little else to do but chat, network, and dream up theme events have transformed into something of a "social scene." [Variety]
· Hollywood Out of Ideas, Tom Hanks On A Budget Edition: Matthew Perry will play a grown-up version of Disney superstar Zac Efron in Big-in-reverse project 17, in which a suddenly teenaged, mysteriously overtanned Perry/Efron enrolls in high school so he can hang out with his children, who wonder why the "new gay kid" keeps trying so hard to become friends with them.

Vanessa Hudgens, the once-wholesome High School Musical star whose naked body has now been viewed by untold millions of (warning: link NSFW) depraved perverts on the internet, has just released a statement apologizing for posing for the racy photographs that have Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen head spinning in its freezer. From ABC News:

Based on this surprising side-by-side, we think that overtanned High School Musical 2 Zac Efron's agent can probably get his client into the next project Jodie Foster passes on. However, Zac might need to work on the arms a little bit before taking a meeting. [The Hot Blog]
