Zac Efron Premieres “17 Again” with Taylor Swift!

To the delight of his strong Aussie fan base, Zac Efron took to the red carpet for the Australian premiere of “17 Again” on Wednesday (March 11). Spending almost an hour signing autographs and posing for photos at the Entertainment Quarter in Sydney, the Disney hunk was joined by country darling Taylor Swift, who had performed in Melbourne the previous evening. “I have a great time whenever I come here,” Efron told press while on the red carpet, adding, “It’s amazing weather, fantastic fans, there’s so many familiar faces. I recognize like half of these girls from previous premieres.” Revealing that while he wished girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens could’ve made it, he was happy to have Taylor by his side, Zac said, “She’s a lovely, lovely girl.” Earlier in the day, the 21-year-old was spotted enjoying the sights of Sydney with an assistant - as the pair took a walk before a big boat ride.

Vanessa Hudgens: Kiwami Cutie

With her hunky beau Zac Efron off promoting his new movie “17 Again” in Sydney, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out running around town by her lonesome. The “High School Musical” hottie popped out for lunch at Kiwami sushi restaurant in Studio City on Tuesday (March 10), hopping into her Audi convertable and speeding away upon finishing up. Aside from getting her fill of Japanese food, Miss Hudgens is looking forward to the summer release fo ehr new movie “Bandslam”. The film hits theaters in the States on August 14th, telling the story of “a high school outcast’s bond with a popular girl over their shared love of music, which results in them assembling a rock group that looks to win their school’s upcoming battle of the bands competition.”
