Vanessa Hudgens: Pretty at the Pump

Spending time out with her co-star beau, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted gassing up in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon (March 19). With Zac Efron waiting in the driver’s seat of her sporty Audi convertible, the “High School Musical” starlet kindly hopped out and pumped her own petrol. The couples outing comes just after pictures of Zac posing in steamy shots with model Edita Vilkeviciute made their debut via Interview magazine. Talking about one particular shot in which he and the sexy supermodel pose in a pile of sand, Zac tells, “I got pretty dirty by the end of so that was fun. It was definitely different from anything I had ever done before.”

Zac Efron: Hunky at LAX

He can’t go anywhere without causing a massive scene, and earlier today (March 17) Zac Efron got plenty of attention at LAX International Airport. The “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” stud arrived to find fans a paparazzi waiting for him. And he graciously signed a few autographs before hurrying off in an effort to avoid being photographed. As for his upcoming photo spread in Interview magazine, Efron says the steamy pics (he poses with a naked model) are a welcome change from the squeaky clean Disney image he’s had thus far. He told press, “It was definitely different from anything I had ever done before. There was, like a giant sandbox in the middle of a studio. And then I just got to roll around in the dirt for a couple of hours. I got pretty dirty by the end of it, so that was fun.” He continued, “You know, everything I’ve done in the past has felt very safe, and it was great for a while, but now I’m looking for a place to take chances. I want to play with things.”

Zac Efron Premieres “17 Again” in Melbourne

Continuing to cause a frenzy down under, Zac Efron was spotted arriving at the Melbourne, Australia premiere of “17 Again” earlier today (March 16). The “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” stud looked hunky in a grey button-up shirt with grey skinny jeans as he schmoozed with “Neighbours” star Brett Tucker. It’s appropriate that Zac is having such a good time in Aussie land as he’s a big fan of native Australian Hugh Jackman. In a recent interview, Efron confessed that he was excited to get to perform with the “X-Men” star on the Oscars last month. “When I heard I was going to be on stage with Hugh, I was shocked. I was like, ‘I can’t keep up with that guy.’ Not only is he a better singer and dancer, he’s 6 foot three, or four. He’s the tallest guy that I’ve ever seen be that coordinated.” Zac added that Hugh serves as an inspiration for him. “I aspire be where he’s at some day - to have that drive. It gives me hope a little bit.”
