Zac Keeps it Caz

Zac Keeps it Caz

Zac Efron and BFF co-star Nikki Blonsky keep their arms wrapped around each other during a photocall for Hairspray on Wednesday at Hotel Santo Mauro in Madrid, Spain.

Zefron kept it casual in a henley, shorts and flip-flops while Nikki stayed classic in a black top and pants.

You can watch this video interview of Zac and Nikki chatting up Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph.

UPDATE: Yes, it’s true. Vanessa Hudgens has canceled her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Hopefully she’ll be back another day!

30+ pictures inside of Zac and Nikki looking cozy on the red carpet…

i agree with #25

#45 - so in order to be a good rolenmodel you need to be perfect?? Well good luck finding one then!

And in regards to being a Vanessa fan and by default a hypocrit for “supporting” her, I really don’t think so! Even if I think saying I’m a Vanessa-fan is maybe taking it a bit far, seeing as I think I fall a little outside the demographic being close to 30(!), I would not come down on anyone in a smiliar situation.
It is so easy to judge, but truth be told we know nothing about what really happend and until you’ve walked a mile in someones shoes you really can’t know their reasoning and there for shouldn’t judge so harshly. Real ppl do stupid things in their lives (not all of a sexual nature), most of us are just luck enough to get to keep them to ourself..which is a luxery she as a celebrity does not have!

But she is 18, give the girl a break! She really only answers to herself and the ppl close to her and I really don’t think she needs the rest of the world to tell her what she did was really stupid…I think she pretty much has that figured out all by her pretty self.

Just some thought on Disney and parents reaction to Vanessa’s photos… Lemme see… Britney, Christina, Lindsey, Vanessa, now, stories are coming out about Ashley and her Nipple, Miley in her underware, and Kirsten Storms arrested for DUI. If parents are going to crucify Vanessa- they should crucify all of them for their naughty behavior.

hey stace
back off vanessa
u dont know the real story
who r u to judge
she not hurting you
leave her the ****alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
talk about being 12
how dare you pass judgement

#52

Vanessa made herself into a Role Model. Had she not said she was a good role model, people would have judge this episode (nude pictures) differently.

She set the standard, and picked the kind of relationship she wanted with her young fans. She set herself up for the fall.

What she should have done, is just say, she’s not a role model, and children should look at their parents if they want to find a role model.

JJ start using the term Zikki!!! I think it’s funny. It doesn’t have to have any romantic conotation behind it. They are BFF.

stace
you dont know anything
forbes even comented on this
and they werent as idiotic as you
if she canceled leno thats her business
not yours
you dont know if zac had anything
to do with it no one knows but them
let her deal

I am not saying you don’t have a point, and the whole episode is unfortunate, but sorry I would still consider Vanessa a good rolemodel…still better than the likes of Britney, Miss.Lohan and Paris…not trying to be judgemental, as I don’t know what posses them to act like they do, but I would stille rather have my teenage daughter looking up to Vanessa than those other girls any day

No Longer a Zac Fan @ 09/12/2007 at 1:21 pm

I personally think that Zac and Vanessa are no longer a couple. They may have been at one time, but not anymore. Now, I believe their so-called relationship is all for publicity. They created quite a buzz as “Zanessa”, and rather than admitting that they no longer have a relationship, they (or should I say their PR team) instead decided to use their popularity as a couple to boost their careers and HSM2.

I believe this mainly because we never see any “affectionate” candids of the two. I only see the affection coming from Vanessa because I think she does truly care for Zac. However, I don’t see Zac returning that affection. For example, even though Beyonce and Jay Z don’t discuss their relationship, it is evident how they feel for one another from the candids that are taken of them - you can just tell they are together. However, with Zac and Vanessa, there are no signs whatsoever, especially on Zac’s part. People have even noticed that Zac doesn’t seem as enthusiastic when taking photos with Vanessa as he does with other female co-stars.

Also, in times like this scandal, that is where the truth usually comes out. You would think that if Zac was truly in a relationship with Vanessa, he would be more passionate either way. However, he has shown no emotions whatsoever, other than he doesn’t talk about his “friend’s” personal business. Yes, he may be displaying the so-called friendship ring, but isn’t that so much easier to do - just wearing a ring - rather than declaring any kind of feelings verbally? Zac is a smart guy. He knows the power of symbolism. He knows that wearing the ring will let Zanessa fans assume that he is commited to her without any words having to come out of his mouth.

Also, if I were to give him the benefit of the doubt that he is actually in a relationship with Vanessa, I would be so disappointed in him as a boyfriend. He seems “whimpy” as a boyfriend, not a man - because a real man would stick up for his girlfriend. It’s ironic because Zac has mentioned numerous times that the one thing he’s learned about being in this business is the importance of the celebrity’s persona. However, I am not at all impressed with the persona he is projecting of himself.

I hope that what I have just expressed is wrong. I truly would like to believe that Zac and Vanessa still do have more than just a friendship - that they are still a romantic two-some. However, from what I see and read about them, I just don’t believe that they are a couple anymore.

Where do all of you find the time to write such long posts? Shouldn’t most of you teens be in school right now??

Brit-ta-nee @ 09/12/2007 at 1:25 pm

Gah. I am so in love with these pictures and I can’t stand how cute Zac and Nikki are together when I know he’s dating Vanessa. I doubt that will last long considering right now she’s not good for his image. Does anyone know how long they’ve been going out? Because I don’t doubt that if he wasn’t dating Vanessa while shooting Hairspray him and Nikki definitely hooked up. Oh well. I’m rather bummed that Vanessa canceled her appearance on Leno, I can’t stand the girl but I definitely had it set on my tivo to see if they brought up anything about the nude pictures. Oh well hopefully she’ll come out of hiding and actually talk about her ****** ways.

#52 I totally agree with you.
I’m close to 30 too and I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes as most of the people in this site judging Vanessa will. Luckily, our mistakes won’t end up in the Internet and the world’s press.
And again, if anyone finds a perfect role model, you haven’t done your job well. NOBODY’S PERFECT. Parents/old brothers and sisters/celebrities make mistakes, because they’re simply HUMAN.

#52 (Flisbeth) - I respect your views and can see reasoning behind some of your thoughts but I was just putting forward my opinion which I am entitled to have, as are you. I was not implying that a role model needs to be perfect, and I agree with you in saying good luck finding one because that is exactly right. Of couse nobody is perfect but come on, posing nude for photos when you are working in an industry where most aspects of your life are made public whether you like it or not, is absolutely ridiculous. She was not THAT young not to know what she was doing. And any person working in the entertainment industry can tell you, you have to keep a check on your actions because whether you like it or not, you will be scrutinized constantly and unfortunately there isn’t much you can do about that.

#49 (Lynn) - No I don’t think that’s wrong, you are quite right. If she did that I would without hestiation commend her on her actions but cancelling on Leno doesn’t help the situation. She is just choosing not to face the music. If she does not speak out about it sooner rather than later, it will just tarnish her image further. If she comes out and speaks about it now she can move on and try to recover from the situation.

Sorry for the double post earlier on!

zac looks hot. but i wish he’d go home cause i want another zanessa sighting. anywayssss, sucks vanessa cncelled haha, although ti would have been surprising if she had shown up so soon after the incident. oh well, she’ll have to comment about it one time or another

Sometimes I think that Vanessa’s scandal was made far worse because of the fans of HSM, who saw her as Gabriella and wanted her to be that kind of person. Oh, how we wanted her to be the good, innocent, role model she talked about. Not like Britney, Lindsey, or Paris. But, the fact of the matter is that she is HUMAN- not this made up character. and Human beings are not perfect and they make mistakes, poor judgements. No matter, there will be more scandals form many more celebrities tomorrow and the near future and we will talk about those as well. They are ONLY HUMAN after all.

wtf with this @ 09/12/2007 at 1:54 pm

LOLOLOL! You gotta love Vanessa fans. Taking nude photos of yourself when you’re around 15 = that’s normal/okay/fine. Being chubby like Nikki and putting your arm around or holding your co-star’s hand makes you fat cow ho. LOLOLOL!!!

I think everyone who seems to hate Nikki so much for no valid reason is just misguiding their true anger and disappointment at her. I feel bad for Nikki. She HAS to know about the nude pictures. A lot of so-called friends, especially in show business with their own career literally just starting off, would go out of their way NOT to even be seen with Zac right now, since he’s a part of the whole scandal through no fault or real doing of his own. She’s actually being a good friend to him, and look at the price she’s paying for that from people who have the maturity of 12 year olds but the hypocrisy of adults.

It seems okay to Vanessa fans that she canceled her Leno appearance so she can deal with this all in private since she’s already apologized and it’s a private matter and yada yada yada. But Zac is a bad boyfriend and person because he won’t speak for her? WTF?

I don’t think Zac held a gun to Vanessa’s head and made her take those nude photos. It’s NOT his problem. You guys THINK they are dating and he’s her knight in shining armor, but he’s NEVER publicly admitted that so WHY does he have to now just because VANESSA made a mistake? Are any of her other HSM friends/cast members or Kenny Ortega issuing statements to defend her or being seen with her right now? Are you guys crucifying them too?

And uh, seriously, Vanessa’s not the brightest bulb. She knew about these pictures since before HSM. She’s had two years to talk to her people who know people, etc. to prevent this all. Once HSM became the HUGE thing it was, she and her people could’ve SO made the loser who took them and the pictures go away WAY before it ever came to this. That’s what Hollywood does best — bury stuff that never sees the light of day to protect people’s images and careers.

I wrote this in the other thread so I thought I’d put it here to. Just so you guys know - truthfully, I have no problem with Vanessa what so ever. I didn’t really know much about her, Zac and Nikki before all this stuff happened, it was only when I found out about the photo situation I read up about them a bit more. I was just expressing my views/thoughts on the situation and how I personally see it. Obviously not everybody is going to agree with me and vice versa but hey, all I can really say is I just analysed the situation from my perspective. Like I said at the end of my post, I apologise if I offended anybody with my opinions.

You guys don’t need to talk sh*t about Nikki’s weight, I’m sure she’s heard plenty of people make negative comments about her body. She’s just 18 or 19, isn’t she? She’s young, talented, and I’m sure she’s gonna try to get healthy now that she is in the limelight more.

Zac looks kinda cute when he’s natural, without all that make up and hair product. He’s growing on me. =)

#62 (former #45) sorry wasn’t having a go at you and I do see “the deeper meaning” in your post, just think some of it was a little harsh - because I have enjoyed Vanessas work and have “stood by her” as I do realize that she is only human, I don’t consider myself a hypocrit as time has thought me that when you don’t have the whole story you really shouldn’t judge..so I try my best not to :)
I agree that it might sound a bit hollow now looking back on her saying that she found it easy to be “a goof rolemodel” if you ever thought that she was perfect!
I enjoy watching the interviews with the High School Musical cast as I laugh quietly to myself and think..Uh in 10-years mate you are going to look back on this and want to dig a very big hole for yourself. I can easly remeber how sure of myself I was at 18 and now some 10 years later I laugh at myself cause I knew sh..!
But I still say she is human and it is some how in our DNA to do stuid things..some more than others and some more stupid that should really be allowed. Should she not have done it?! Well that is really for her to strugle with, but if the worst thing she ever does is this…I will still like to think of her as a good girl!

#61 vvs, that was really the point I was (badly hehe) trying to get across in there somewhere…we are all just human beings at the end of the day and we need to find rolemodels that are real and that we can respect stupid actions and all.

u know the only reason i said something
is this girl is all alone on this
and this has been spoken even in china, south america
its been blown soooo out of purportion
she needs some words of encouragement
i know no one should judge zac and nick but i think
we are r all hoping vanessa gets thru this
its not like she was caught ina dui or delibratley flashing like
most celebs do its just heart breaking how her phots r been used to sell mags
shes been exploited over and over again
not cool

OMG ZAC I LOVE YOU!
Thanks for uploading!

Alright you tabloid hounds. According to this article Zac as declared that he supports Vanessa and is hanging in there for her.

http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272616020.shtml

And the Nikki pictures with Zac are no more flirtasous then a lot of pictures that close friends of opposite genders have of each other.

I think Zanessa is still together, but they are having a tough time right now.
