Zac Efron just got back into town from filming The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud in Vancouver and has wasted no time hitting up the party scene.

Last Wednesday, he swung by Nylon's party at XIV solo, where his High School Musical costar Ashley Tisdale was also hanging. (The two had just lunched together on the Monday prior.)

And on Friday night, Zac was all over the place—first heading downtown to check out the opening of Hyde Lounge at the Staples Center arena.

The HSM hunk hung courtside at the Lakers game for a bit before swinging by the lounge, where he held court with three guy friends.

"The boys were really enjoying the game and not noticing the gaggle of girls trying to get his attention," a source tells E! News.

But it was another story back at a West Hollywood nightclub...

Zac Efron Thinks High School Musical Is Boring

Zac Efron, Nylon Nylon Guys

It has been far too long since we've seen Zac Efron's adorable mug on the cover of a magazine.

And, while the poses in Nylon Guys aren't exactly his most original—we've seen the High School Musical hottie's plaid shirts and downward glances plenty of times—they are an adorable way to start your Friday nonetheless.

Still, now that he's promoting a grown-up movie with Me and Orson Welles, he's subtly dissing the fluffy flicks that catapulted him into our hearts.

"It's the first time I've ever watched a movie [that I'm in] and in the end, I'm like, 'OK, I didn't check my watch once,"' he tells the "not for girls" mag (as if putting Zac on the cover is going to dissuade us).

He also blames our supposedly bad taste in music on celebrity albums, which is ironic given that Ashley Tisdale and his GF, Vanessa Hudgens, could be accused of releasing such musical monstrosities.

"If anyone asked themselves [if celebrity albums are necessary], then we wouldn't have the crap we are listening to today," he says.

Zac also claims he's not that into seeing his face on lunchboxes and that his parents found his singing "annoying" growing up.

Seriously, though, he's so cute, does it even matter what he says?

Attention, Tom & Justin! Do You Think You Can Judge?

If Katie Holmes can perform on So You Think You Can Dance, then hubby Tom Cruise can certainly be a judge, right?

So says SYTYCD judge Mary Murphy.

"He goes way back to Risky Business doing his thing," says Murphy, referring to Cruise's iconic gyrating underwear dancing. "He was on the hot-tamale train back then!"

She added with a laugh, "That hot tamale can come by anytime."

Also on Murphy's wish list? Justin Timberlake and another certain hottie...

Sucker Punch Scoop: Navy SEALs and Singing

No need to sound the alarm if you see Vanessa Hudgens lookin' a bit bruised and battered these days.

She and her costars in the upcoming Sucker Punch are getting their asses whipped in preparation for director Zack Snyder's shoot.

"We have Navy SEALs doing physical training, and then we have stunt and fight choreographers from Watchman and 300," says Jamie Chung, who will play Amber in the action-packed fantasy flick about a young girl in a mental institution in the 1950s. "It's going to be awesome."

Well, not so awesome for her legs, which have been left black-and-blue…

Heard the One About Zac and Vanessa Being Engaged?

Tweens, put down your pitchforks and back away slowly: Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are not—we repeat not—engaged.

So you can stop boycotting Bandslam now.

Hudgens seemed to hint (in a very much taken-out-of-context quote) in Britain's News of the World over the weekend that she and her High School sweetheart would soon be walking down the aisle. The betrothal report even found its way into the vaunted pages of the Washington Post. But rest assured the report is false.

"Not true," Hudgens' rep tells E! News.

Phew.

But that doesn't mean the twosome isn't still very much together…and socializing, no less, with another pair of lovey-dovey costars who also seem to be no match for the rumor mill.

We speak, of course, of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Zac Efron may be spinning into a theater near you.

I just got word that the 17 Again heartthrob's peeps are taking a look at turning first-time author Robert Rave's debut novel, Spin, into a feature film.

No deals have been made, but Efron would star as Taylor Green, a recent college grad from the Midwest who works for one of New York City's most wretched publicists. Think The Devil Wears Prada in the world of public relations...

Zac Efron just finished filming a guest spot on Entourage, so it would only make sense for someone like Chace Crawford to be next in line…right?

Not if the hit HBO show's star Jeremy Piven has anything to do with it! The Piv has someone completely different in mind...

Zac Efron Gets the Robert Pattinson Cut?

Zac Efron Flynet

Zac Efron kicked off his long Fourth of July weekend by finally cutting off that greasy mass of hair that has slowly been swallowing his face for the past few months.

But wait a minute! Plaid shirt, new messy short hair? Could someone be channeling a certain sparkly vampire? Or maybe even a little SamRo?

Let's get another angle on this 'do before we throw these sorts of serious allegations around. Ahh! That one looks even more like a freshly showered Rob Pattz.

Anyone else see the Robert Pattinson resemblance? Are Zefron and Pattz doomed to be compared forever?! Do we all prefer Zac’s shorter, more manageable hair? Too many important questions to deal with after a three-day weekend.

Megan Fox sure knows how to keep us guessing.

First, she declared she was single. Then, she took a weekend getaway to Vegas with her former fiancé Brian Austin Green.

Just last night, she supposedly had a cozy dinner with Zac Efron.

According to Celebuzz, the two hit Pace in Laurel Canyon last night where they were "very friendly" together.

This isn't the first time the two have hung out...

Breckin Meyer Goes Perez on Zac Efron

Apparently, when you mix Celine Dion and skating, there's inevitably going to be trouble.

It seems Breckin Meyer (you can Google him later) had a run-in with Zac Efron at a roller rink that involved Zac's gal, Vanessa Hudgens, the theme song from Titanic and the inappropriateness of singles skating during couples-only skating.

After Breckin's rant, in which he demands an apology, Zac thankfully steps in and gives one, thereby bringing this very un-Xanadu moment to a close.

Of course, this is all just a spoof on the blubbering done by blogger Perez Hilton following his recent will.i.am incident.

Personally, we'll stick with the original source material. It's way more entertaining.
