GOOO ZACHARY!!! i love youu<3 hope you have a great carree!!!! I AM IN LOVE WITH ZAC EFRON!!! :D my fiture husband!!
way to go Zac.
Zac I am so happy for you.
Congratulations Zac
but ,vanessa ,where is she ??
JJ Any news of her ,soon
omg i was there 2 ddays ago :(
but yay Zac! i am so proud of hiM! he is the coolest guy ever.
well i see zaccy went to showest alone guess he was sad he couldn’t take his new houchie from harry potter. life must be great when people will cover for you
they say he was ******** around london with her but when his or her publicity person denies it all he says is “they didn’t speak at the premiere” well dummy no one accused them of speaking at the premiere they said they were ******** around londontown with each other
so the pr person didn’t deny anything they just covered it up man vanessa is going to really get her heart stomped on and he won’t even care
#8 Shut up.
@becky:
Agreed.
Congrats to Zac!
Aw, well doesn’t he look marvelously dashing ? He looks hot. As usual. YAY Zachary !! Breakthrough Performer of the Year. Impressive :D Soon, he’ll be getting Oscars. :D He’s just that good. Hot, talented, smart.
…#8, kinda harsh ?
@mary s: Vanessa wasn’t there. There are pics on getty and wire image of the arrivals, the banquet and the awards show and she’s not in any of them. Guess she wasn’t invited. More likely that she isn’t worthy enough to be seen in public with Zac these days. Nice to see that he’s okay with being photographed with other women at the event though.
I think Zac is going to have a red hot career and he’s worked very hard to break into the mainstream. He’s earned his success. I don’t blame him for enjoying his new found fame and wanting to fly solo but man up and break up with your girlfriend first. That’s just low. It’s like she’s only good enough for HSM-related events. Otherwise he’s a free agent.
Way to go ZAC, I’m happy they finally see what a good actor you are. At least for Hairspray,
We can forget about the other piece of garbage and the refuge from the garbage dump
congrats!!!!
Omg whats will all the hate tonight.
Just jared please banned the haters.
congratz zac!!! :)
zac is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ever.
#8 you are so dumb. Zac looks hot.
wow I’m so proud of him. Truly amazing. HSM was far superior to HS considering Zac’s screentime for the latter was around 9mins! Not that he wasn’t good, just that HSM was miles better and lots more to work with.
Can’t wait for 17!!
he has to check out the action so he won’t be alone tonight what a creep
go to london as see your new houchie
and don’t get all goofy eyed over his talent hes okay as an actor but as a man he sucks
#12 kittykat,
you’re going to have to get over the dissapointment that he’s not
dating you. not only does he not know who you are….. ..but he doesn’t care about whatever you think. i just felt that i needed to inform you of that before you get your hopes up!!
and by the way, its low for someone to break up with their girlfriend just because of their career. if you think that’s fine then i don’t know what kind of person you think are because that is the lowest form of human being.
awurbii#21, you tell kittykat like it is. She’s got her claws out I can tell.
I agree in that Zac does prefer Vanessa by his side giving him the support and attention.However. It is good to see him out at a public function holding his own and so with Vanessa. Even as a couple they both need their own identities to move on in their careers and need to be recognised as individuals and not as one half of a couple or part of the HSM gang( Disney)
Awesome!!! I wondered how long it would take JJ to post something about this event….Congrats Zac!!!
Am I the only one who saw how happy Z&V were on Sunday or that they were together for the video being shown with his movie.
Taking a pix with someone at an event is not a crime.
