US WEEKLY HONORS ZAC EFRON AS STAR OF THE YEAR

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.
