Efron Dismisses Engagement Speculation

I think this is good news (not because I have a little obsession going on with Zac) but just for the reason that he really is too young to get married, and in my opinion it would never last. They are both young and in Hollywood, and we all know that Hollywood marriages seem to be very difficult and dont have a very long shelf life.

Actor Zac Efron has laughed off reports he’s set to wed girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens – insisting he’s not getting married until he is in his forties.

Earlier this year, U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer claimed the High School Musical star, who has been dating the actress since 2005, proposed during a promotional trip to Japan in January.

But the 21-year-old is adamant he’s not engaged and will not be walking down the aisle any time soon.

He tells America’s GQ magazine, “That was such bulls**t. I’m definitely not getting married. In this business, you’re either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I’m not getting married until I’m 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind.”

I am a big fan of Michael, so to see him reprise the role in which won him an Oscar I think would be fantastic !!!

Twenty-two years after Douglas’ Oscar-winning performance in the first film, studio bosses are trying to convince him to slip back into a pin-striped suit and head back to New York’s financial district.

According to the National Enquirer, Charlie Sheen – who starred as Bud Fox in the original – has already been ruled out of the sequel.

Film Version of Spring Awakening

As you may now know, I am a massive musicals fan. So the announcment that a new musical is going to be made, always goes does well with me. So recent tony award winning show (opening in London’s West End very soon, after a successful off West End preview) is going to be made into a movie. Thats very good I would say.

Terminator Salvation director McG, who got his start behind the camera on music videos, is in talks to direct and produce a film adaptation of the Tony-winning rock musical Spring Awakening. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he’s developing the project with original book and lyrics writer Steven Sater, who worked with musician Duncan Sheik to create the reimagining of Frank Wedekind’s controversial 1891 play. The story centers on a bevy of male and female students coming of age, and explores homosexuality, S&M, loss of virginity, masturbation, and suicidal tendencies.

DiCaprio Warns Efron Against Drug Use

I think thats nice that Leonardo was looking out for Zac by asking him questions and giving him some advice.

Leonardo DiCaprio has warned fellow actor Zac Efron to avoid taking heroin if he wants to enjoy a lasting career in Hollywood.

High School Musical star Efron met the former teen heartthrob at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game last year, and the actors later sat down to get better acquainted over lunch.

And Efron insists it was a valuable meeting – because the Titanic star doled out indispensable advice about how to avoid the trappings of fame.

Efron tells GQ magazine, “I thought I was gonna ask him questions. He ended up asking me questions, and in that, he told me a lot.

“He said, ‘There’s one way that you can really f**k this all up. Just do heroin. If you steer clear of that, the other obstacles you’ll be able to navigate.’ And that makes sense, dude.”

And the 21-year-old is taking heed of DiCaprio’s instruction, choosing to abstain from drugs and only drinking alcohol in private.

He adds: “(I drink) behind closed doors. I wasn’t programmed by Disney. It’s common sense. If you’re gonna be drunk with your friends, don’t get wasted at the Chateau Marmont and hook up with some famous chick. It’s not rocket science.

“I don’t want to be famous for my personality. If anything, I keep that under wraps.”

News: Byrne: ‘Theatre Is Dead’

I really hope they do something to prevent Theatre dying out, maybe making it a little bit cheaper will help. And maybe more publicity to younger people?

Irish actor Gabriel Byrne is convinced theatre will die out – because the audiences are too old.

The Usual Suspects star has appeared in several productions, including a starring role as King Arthur in Camelot in New York last year.

He has also received numerous accolades for his onstage performances, including an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actor in a Play for 2005’s A Touch of the Poet on Broadway.

And it was during his run in the show that the 58-year-old decided theatre-goers were a dying breed.

Byrne says, “I looked out into the audience and the theatre was packed with well-to-do, white-haired people.

“After the show I turned to one of the other actors and said, ‘Theatre is dead. There’s no one under 60 out there, they’re all white and they can all afford £200 for a night.’ Seriously, theatre as we’re doing it now, is dead.”

Efron Dreams Of Going Back To The Future

I think that would make me more interested in Back to the Future, as its never really been a film or films I have really liked. Yes . . .way too many Zac Efron posts today, haha.

Zac Efron is hooked on time travelling and dreams of taking on Michael J. Fox‘s role in a new Back To The Future movie.

In his new film 17 Again, Efron’s character – played as an adult by Matthew Perry – is struck by lightning and becomes a teenager again.

And now he’s keen to take on the the ultimate time travel adventure by recreating Fox’s Marty McFly character in a fourth instalment of the hit film franchise.

Efron reveals, “Growing up, my favourite thing to do was to climb into the car and play Back To the Future. I would pretend I was Marty McFly.”

Fox last played McFly in 1990’s Back to the Future Part III.

Efron recently pulled out of revisiting another classic movie, Footloose.
