Could it be TRUE? Have our favorite *puke* star-crossed lovers have found their way back to each other? Here we have Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron, ‘former’ high school sweethearts, hanging out on Saturday having some fun at the gas station after they spent the day together. Zac is getting pumped at the pumps showing off his pretty, shiny new set of wheels. The ‘High School Musical’ pair seemed a little surprised to run into not only the paparazzi at the gas station, but to meet actor Peter Greene on the forecourt. After getting pumped, they spent the afternoon at a friend’s house. So…what’s the dealio here? As far as we knew Zac gave her the turf shortly after her pics came out. Probably cuz they were you know, for that guy, what was his name? I’ll just call him ‘not Zac Efron’. So are they on again, or just doing the very mature ‘just friends’ thing. Don’t know, I really don’t think ‘mature’ is a word in Hudgens’s vocab, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Here you are seeing Vanessa Hudgens taking some time out with her mom for a little coffee run. Aren’t they just too cute? They stopped here at The Coffee Bean before heading to a recording studio on Friday. Vanessa enjoyed some paps time with her mom as she waited for her coffee, and mom got right into it with the standard mom peck on the cheek pose. Vanessa was also spotted texting on her Apple iPhone at the same time. So cute, our little ‘High School Musical Star’ is learning how to get some decent exposure while NOT being indecently exposed. Huh. I wonder if mom knows about THAT one yet. Or I wonder if Mama H. has clued in to the fact that Vanessa is not about to be Mrs. Efron anytime soon. Zac Efron as the future son-in-law – dream shattered. Yup, it would take me a while to get over that one too.

Studio execs are smack dab in the middle of casting for the next upcoming film Speed Racer and are turning down some pretty big names. Rose McGowan was one of them, and it seems this is what happens when you get to know your plastics doc a little too well.

McGowan, 34, has admitted to having plastic surgery for an eye injury related to a car accident. But casting skeptics suspect she has had much more done, and that it cost her the role. “The studio felt like she was hard to recognize and worried that by the time the movie hit theaters, fans might not know who she was,” says our insider.

A car accident? How bad was it? I mean, I have to agree with the casting agents that this girl is not the same looking girl. She well doesn’t look a thing like Paige Matthews from the movie Charmed back in 1998. But, maybe it has to do with age, too? I don’t know how that would affect film marketing. Maybe the casting crew is just too picky. The word is that Zac Efron was also politely turned down.

During his auditions, Zac never connected to the romantic lead in the reading,” says our source. “By the second round, the casting crew didn’t feel he was believable as a leading man hero.” ~ NY Daily News

Not a man hero? Maybe these agents have been living under a big rock for a little while, because in case they didn’t know, every girl in the 13-25 demographic in the freaking country wants this man. But who am I to say?

All I have to say ladies is don’t kill the messenger. I am sure what is happening here is completely platonic and Zac will be dialing your digits any TIME now. Here is Zac Efron making the most of his downtime hanging out in Hawaii with a co-star from High School Musical Vanessa Hudgens. That’s right, these are just a couple of co-workers unwinding after a long day. No word yet on what if anything is going on between these two but together they are almost just too cute to handle. Let’s see what happens here though before we get the barf bags.

This year the Teen Choice Awards were hosted by the lovely and talented Hilary Duff and the ever-hilarious Nick Cannon. The event studded with celebrities both performing and appearing on the nomination slates was one not easily forgotten. Artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Shop Boys, and Avril Lavigne were there to set the tone with their musical talents, and many teen idols rocked the docket with their multiple nominations. These included Katherine Heigl, Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, Jessica Biel, and Justin Timberlake to name a few. The two surfboards that went to America’s Hearthrobs were not a shocker this year. For Choice Movie Actor in a Horror/Thriller the nominees were Josh Duhamel (Turistas), Jim Carrey (The Number 23), Ryan Gosling (Fracture), Jake Gyllenhaal (Zodiac) and Shia LaBeouf (Disturbia). Despite the tough competition and even A-list talent on the ballot, Shia LaBeouf took away the surfboard for his work with Disturbia. Most swooners across America will not be surprised to find out that Zac Efron took away the surfboard for Choice Male Hottie, waving out his competition of notable hotties Josh Duhamel, Orlando Bloom, T.I., and Taylor Kitsch. Too many cute boys, only one board, what’s a panel to do? I think they made a good call here. Humina Humina! Congratulations to all nominees and winners of this year’s Teens Choice Awards.

Get out the fans girls, Zac Efron and his abs have hit the cover of Rolling Stone. This young actor has just finished filming his third season of High School Musical and has recently added Hairspray to his already remarkable career. Since he’s already got some nice acting credits on his resume, what better thing to do in your spare time but flaunt your awesome bod. He also gave Rolling Stone the big reveal on his relationship with on-set girl pal Vanessa Hudgens. Their on-set romance is the real deal off-set as well. That’s just cruel. Here’s my awesome body world, but oops, sorry, I’m taken. Hm, that must be why he hasn’t been returning my calls….
