Which star do you think will have a better draw – Zac or Vanessa? According to Just Jared:

Tween sensation Zac Efron is slated to play a drug runner in his next flick, Snabba Cash. Oh, wow. Talk about transformation. Good for Zac. Gone are his girly, sun bleached locks and gone is his lifelong prison sentence of being the family movie go-to heart throb lead.

But can pearly-toothed, delicate-looking Zac Efron pull off a role where he hustles drugs? According to Eonline.com, the role sounds more perfect for a Colin Farrell type:

Zac Efron has a man crush on Robert Pattinson. Zac admitted his feelings after seeing and working with Robert recently. Robert had said already he had a crush on Zac, so now everyone is all touchy feely. How sweet…

Zac and Robert are both hotties…why wouldn’t they have crushes on each other? From the New York Magazine:

Zac Efron didn’t comb his hair before he hit the red carpet at the Oscars last night. Course, that’s the style for young men, but still, Zac looked a lot windblown and a little sloppy for the Oscars.

Do you think it’s a little…sacrilegious to show up to such a big night looking like a hot mess? Women can have bad dresses and be hot messes, but can men? From the Examiner:

Zac Efron to liven up the Oscars. Zac and a slew of Disney and young stars are making an appearance at the Oscars on March 7th…but why? Zac, Miley Cyrus, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner haven’t done any serious work yet.

Zac is trying to distance himself from the teen scene, so I wonder why he agreed to it? The exposure certainly couldn’t hurt…maybe it will get him adult work. According to Chip and Co:

Zac Efron is an Oakley Hottie! Zac caused a small riot as he tried to make his way down to the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia for Oakley’s Learn To Surf charity surf event in aid of the OneSight Foundation. Tons of fans made their way to the beach in order to catch a glimpse of Efron, the American heartthrob.
