The kids from High School Musical stick close even when they're not on set.  Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale took some time out from their busy press schedule to enjoy the sights of Sydney, Australia.

The trio took a water taxi, using binoculars to scope out the local wildlife, and headed over to an area called Rose Bay for lunch at Catalina's restaurant.  Of course we all know that the best way to work off a big meal is shopping! Zefron, V.Hudg and The Tiz then shopped at Tsubi in Paddington picking up some items for themselves amongst a fan frenzy.  Being young, rich and famous has got its price!

          

Zac! Zac! ZAC!!!  Everyone wants a piece of Disney's golden boy Zac Efron but he's such a nice guy, he mostly obliges.  We spotted the teen dream signing autographs in Times Square yesterday before heading to the airport.  Pens and cameras shoved in his face and he's still all smiles, whadda guy.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are back in Los Angeles after doing a string of events and promotion in New York City.  The on screen and off screen couple were spotted entering at a car together at LAX yesterday.

There's been rumors that Zac will star along side Johnny Depp in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie.  Zac told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show, "Honestly, at this time it's just a rumor. I wish I was going to be in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, so hopefully that will happen for me."
Well, that means it probably will happen.  We all know how much Disney loves Zac so why not throw his pretty face into the mix with Johnny and Orlando?

   

Zac Efon, the greatest person on the face of the Earth, was honored by US Weekly last night at their Hot Hollywood Bash held in New York City.   Zac was the recipient of the Star of the Year award and told the mag, "It's been a busy year so far - a lot of us have been working really hard, so it's very flattering."  He was joined by his High School Musical co-star and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens as well as Ashley Tisdale and Monique Coleman. 

Penn Badgley and Blake Lively were there to receive cast of the year for Gossip Girl.  "A year and 1/2 ago nobody really knew who we were, and now we’ve risen to this!" Penn said.  "It’s a lot of fun for all of us."

Also on hand were Eve (who was pulling double duty at the Chanel event), Whitney Port, requisite old dudes Gavin Rossdale and Matthew Settle (of GG) as well Pattie LaBelle for good measure. 

              

High School Musical 3 is coming!  OMGEEEEE!!!!!  The cast of the coolest fake-high school in America walked the red carpet last night to premiere their new movie at the Galen Center in Los Angeles.

The High Schoolers are graduating in style with Ashley Tisdale and Monique Coleman in fancy gowns and Zac Efron and Corbin Bleu in stylish suits. Vanessa Hudgens and Disney friend Selena Gomez kept it sweet and short in white mini dresses.

The film opens in theaters next Friday and is sure to make bajillions of dollars (that's a scientific estimate). 

            

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Effron are back from their High School Musical 3 European tour.  The lovers made their way through LAX and we welcomed home by a crowd of fans and photogs. 

Ooh la la, it's zee cast of High School Musical Trois!  Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu were on hand at the Grand Rex in Paris, France to premiere High School Musical 3: Our Senior Year. 

Zac and Vanessa looked like they could be nominated for "cutest couple", they looked so darn fancy in their dress up clothes!  Vanessa really did sparkle in her silver dress and the so-perfect-looking-he-seems-airbrushed Zac Efron looked sexy in his silver suit.  As usual they out shined their co-stars but The Tiz came in a close second and Corbin's not too shabby either.

Right now I'm going to break you off a piece of some HSM3 action.  Check out the video for "A Night To Remember". 

        

Pretty boy gone flyin'.  We spotted Zac Efron, who I will now call Zefron from this point on, taking a flight from LAX to Canada. 

Zac is appearing at the Toronto Film Festival next week in support of his new film, Me and Orson Wells, in which Zac plays a character that is cast in play version of Julius Ceasar directed by Orson Wells.  This sounds like quite a departure from his HSM material, hopefully this provide the jump he needs out of tween land!

There's our little teen dream! We spotted Zac Efron in tight jeans, white t-shirt and shades rolling up to a studio in Los Angeles.  Perhaps Zac is putting some finishing touches on the vocals for the upcoming High School Musical 3.  I know you're peeing your pants with excitement over this, so if you haven't seen the preview (recently) then check it out below. 

     

There's definitely something wrong with this picture.  Firstly, why is Zac Efron in formal wear and Ashley Tisdale in sweats?  Secondly, why the hell are they on a date with each other when they both are in relationships with someone else?! 

Well, the answer is quite simple actually.  The Tiz and Zefron had attended the ALMA awards earlier in the evening to present an award to their High School Musical director Kenny Ortega.  After the awards Ashley changed into something more comfortable and the two went for a snack at Bob's Big Boy; completely innocent! Of course what they did after dinner is anyone's guess...
