Zac Efron is A-Okay

Will you say okay? Say okay!

Zac Efron gives the a-okay as BFF costar Nikki Blonsky flashes the victory sign at the Hairspray Japan Premiere on Thursday Tokyo, Japan. Zikki was joined director Adam Shankman.

Shankman recently cautioned that Zac “probably should back away from musicals for a while now. The best thing he could do is more drama or a comedy and cultivate a male audience. It’s always tough when your audience is so heavily skewed in one direction.”

50+ pictures inside of Zac and Nikki

AGG, I DONT LIKE NIKKI

ZANESSA 4EVER TOGETHER!

# 6

# 7

I Love you Zack! You are soooo HOT!

# 8

Cant wait for another Zanessa sighting!!!!!!!!!

# 9

HE’S HOT
LOVE U ZAC
KISSES FROM BRAZIL!!!

that blue shirt looks good on zac!

and as much as i don’t like zikki pics, these are bareable….at least their not holding hands

i agree with Adam,he should do other kinds of movies,for a different kind of audience!

krungkrung @ 10/05/2007 at 12:43 am

he’s cute but his hair is so clay aiken style, don’t like.

OMG!!how cute is ZAc but i hate Nikki blonsky!!

but still thanks for the picture!!

and hope ZAnessa picture arrive here!!

the_original_nika @ 10/05/2007 at 12:45 am

how about man it up zac, you look like a girl geeezz.

He needs to do a drama. He BLEW ME AWAY in Miracle Run and Summerland.

Zac looks wonderful - hopefully he gets some time to rest in Australia.

can we please stop talking about him? yeah he’s hot. but there’s no personality. he’s soooo boring. sorry ladies but he’s not my choice (if you catch my hairspray reference). lol

hahah!!! #14 you make me laugh (in a good way). couldn’t agree more with number #6. when are you gonna show off your acting skills zac?

Dear Jared,
I know Zac and Nikki are ‘BFs’
but seriously, could you please not call them Zikki.
You only mix the names with couples.
Some people WILL get the WRONG idea if you keep doing that.
I know they’re bffs like Ashnessa or Vashley
But the difference is that NO ONE can really get the wrong idea with Ashness… but some people WILL get the wrong idea with Zikki. I’m just saying, I dont mean to offend you or anything.
Love, Marie

Now on to what I think about the pictures…
Shankman makes a point… good thing Zac’s doing Seventeen. :)

Thanks JJ - you do not disappoint. They look like they were having a ball at the premiere!

I am glad Adam Shankman showed for this one…the promotion tour must be winding down. He is right about Z needing to get into different genres. Only long time fans of Z know that he did a lot of dramatic acting work before HSM. Now he is only associated with musicals. I hope 17 brings him a wider audience.

zac isn’t much of team player is he? everyone else is more into it the dancing, including the Japanese people, than he is. somethings wrong with that.

#20 Marie, love your honesty!!!

Saan ka d2 sa US?

more pic’s please

i agree with adam shankman. i can’t wait for seventeen, and personally think he should skip the footloose remake. my opinion of course.

and everyone should really relax about the zikki stuff. we know who his girlfriend is, so what’s the big deal. they’re friends.

the only problem i have with the “zikki” nickname is that it brings out alot of “i hate nikki crap,” which is totally wrong and unfair.

btw, jj, we’ve been waiting for these pics, what took you so long!!!!!!! ha, ha.

i wonder if zac will head straight to australia, and if anyone–v or hsm cast–will join him there.

Bumble Bee @ 10/05/2007 at 12:59 am

OMFG..He Looks 100& GAWJUSS!! ZANESSA FOREVER..I WANNA BE VANESSA!!

leave zac alone okay #14

is seventeen being film already

I LOVE ZACCCY LOL
his eyes r so much on set when he is with vanessa
but wit nikki
i dno
i just dnt lie her lol
meh
she’s a good actress and all
but i thk she has sme unconvered feelings for zac lol
meh
xx

i don’t seem convinced that Zac is enjoying himself in these pictures. i mean, i’m pretty sure he’s enjoying the sights of japan and what not and he’s very appreciative of all his fans and stuff..but i don’t know..he just looks ‘fake’ happy.

that’s just me so don’t get offended and try to bash my current thoughts. i’m still a fan.

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 1:02 am

Yup! he is A-Okay!

Man! is miss Zac being up and about with her dear Vanessa!

when is zac going back home

I want to know what they are looking at. I know it’s an audience but I want to see it. :)

Yeah, I agree, Zac needs to get into it more. Nikki has a lot of energy, doesn’t she?
Did they do a scene from the movie up there? lol…cute!

well zikki is better then zanessa
i love zac and nikki
theyre both amazing actors and singers :]

guys zac n nikki arent going out, there just really gd friends

guys zac n nikki arent going out, there just really gd friends?

i agree with u #31

hahaa he’s hot! i know nikki and him are friends but boy I’m glad to see they are not holding hands! otherwise there would have been more drama! jj do u know if vanessa is going to meet him in australia for the awards???? i think he is on the way there now

omg..i hate hate niki like im glad she didnt ask for a stupid kiss she was horrible in hairspray. i want zac to go back to LA with V..i agree smile looks fake totally doesnt wanna be there hey is he wearing his ring i think so yay..=)

he looks tired in the pictures.
poor guy, he must be tired
of all the hairspray promotion && traveling.

but how cool is it that he gets to travel
the world, for free, and do & promote something
you love. you can pay me pennies anyday to do that.

&& nikki & him are headed to australia next
i believe.. unless he goes back home. hmm.
i guess we’ll have to see. he looks hot in these
pictures none the less! hes looking quite handsome ;]]

v-loyalist,how’s work?

zac is so damn hot but why is it only zac and nikki doing the hairspray permiere and when will it be over. zanessa forever.

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 1:19 am

Hmmm.. so you think he lacks energy here..probably ZAC is already missing his little sweety she left behind and can’t wait to go home.. hahaha! (i love to dream)

#41 its only zac going to australia because he is hosting the australian nickelodeon awards.I think thats the awards…and there is no hairspray stuff going on there anymore

He kinda looks tired. And he definitelly needs a haircut! But he’s hot anyway :) there’s no way this boy get unattractive!

Thanks for posting, JJ

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 1:28 am

Hi there zane! uh works fine. its 1:30 pm here, working while checking this site hahaha!… hope my boss will not gonna fire me for this. Also checking the site of vanessa-anne.org, im on it right now, it has a music player so i got to listen while working all vanessa songs.

You know, i read from other source, zac here really doens’t feel like dancing. He was ask by the director to dance but he refuse, he just clap his hands while the guys are dancing.

zyraluvsBBV @ 10/05/2007 at 1:34 am

Ughh. I agree. He doesnt look uber-happy here. I bet he’s just tired & is missing his precious swithart. ~Awww.
Apart from that,im pretty sure BBV’s missing him too yaw! lols.

celery gloss @ 10/05/2007 at 1:36 am

sigh, he’s so cute. i have nothing else worthwhile to say… too busy staring.

i dont like zikki
i wish you would stop using that word jj
i want to see more zanessa

the_original_nika @ 10/05/2007 at 1:40 am

LOL #28, no sense of humor I see.
Im just saying what I think, you don´t have to agree with me.

please no more zikki

WEDDING PEACH @ 10/05/2007 at 1:43 am

Another premiere in Australia? For Hairspray? With what’s her name?
Ugghh…it doesn’t end. It must be ground hog day. Wasn’t he just there last month when all the drama came to light?
This premiere just keeps going and going and going and going…

sorry Nikki. You’re a terrific actress. I’m just being selfish and
not being compassionate nor considerate. Base human nature kicking in.

WP

when the promoting for hairspray over?
i miss zanessa
im tired of zikki stop calling them that by the way

#33 I believe zac goes home after the awards which is on the 10th so he should be heading back after in time for his birthday! wonder what vanessa has in store for him! maybe they will go on another vacation n try and get away! can’t wait to see what happens!

REAd GUYs ZAC IS THE ONLY ONE GOING TO AUSTRALIA HE IS HOSTING THE Australian nuckelideon awards! nikki will not be there! there is NO MORE hairspray stuff ! so chill! LETs cross our fingers that vanessa might meet him there but if she doesn’t Its ok he is heading home after

you guys are ******** towards Nikki. they’re not going out so stop bashing her. and I happen to like Zikki even if they’re just friends.

and jared more Nikki on this site, even if she is by herself. the Palm Springs film festival which is very prestigious is giving her the rising star award. how about news on that.

perfect boyy foreverr
i love zac efron …
.♥

ZAC is perfect boy forever !!!

i love zac !!

*-*

flipacoin @ 10/05/2007 at 2:14 am

i went out today and i walked past a phonebooth and there was the first promotion of zac and the veronicas i’ve seen so far for the australian kid’s choice awards. and then he came on tv in an add… it was lame but anywho.

favourite picture number 42! it’s ******* HILARIOUS!

V-loyalist- it’s past 11:00 PM here and getting ready to bed. Take it easy okay!!!Have fun in your work!!!!!!!

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 2:20 am

Sure zane, all the time! and oh.. good nite and sweet dreams!

i hate NIKKI *******!!

zac efron is….. OK. CUT YOUR HAIR PLEASE GOSH.

Jared - Thanks for posting. I think that Zac and Nikki are great friends, and Zikki is all in good fun. Keep on using it, and don’t give in to the haters!

Just because some of you might like Zac and Vanessa together as a couple, it doesn’t mean you have to be rude and hurtful to Nikki! If Zac can call her his best friend, and act as kind, respectful, tender, and fun with her, it’s good enough for me to know that she’s a great girl, and that she deserves everyone’s respect, just like anyone else!

Plus, have to say, she’s WWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY more talented than ANY of the girls on the HSM cast! Did you know she’s writing all of her own songs for her upcoming album!?

We want more Zanessa.

Zanessa fans are over the world. Zanessa Forever!!!

Japan is getting colder.
I heard that he has caught a cold.
so he looks a little bit tired.

please take a rest and hope he gets well soon.

He looks good

Nikki is coming out with an album? Are you serious?

well, it doesn’t matter who has more talent or what not. They all got to be in a movie with Zac so they had to have talent of some sort.

what a dousche.. he needs to gain about 30 lb

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 3:26 am

#64 - Hey there jen. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and analysis.

&I hope you don’t compare nikki to the girls of HSM. The 3 lead girls of HSM, each has a talent to share, and has been in the business before nikki came in. Obviously you like her thats why you praise her so much.

vanessa is a floozy @ 10/05/2007 at 3:38 am

aww i love nikki!. NIKKI FOR LIFE!!

she’s so gorgeous.

ziki is so cute together! even though vanessa is gorjuzz, vanessa seems way more down to earth and friendly

Haha lookin good! Thanks for the pics :)

shes crazy(nikki)zac here u go again i hate u

nikki, she doesn’t know how FAT she is. i mean, everytime shes with zac, shes like all over him. zac can fall already u know

He looks so fking hung over.
…lay off the Sake, Efron.

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 5:40 am

Just wondering.. for the whole day, the comment here is only 77? Maybe tired of seeing her w/ nikki and the hairspray thing….

but if she’s w/ her sweetie.. the pages are pouring! Zanessa really rocks!

You Nikki-bashers and Zanessa-mentalists need to shut the **** up. It’s very simple, actually - if you dislike Nikki, then don’t look at the pictures, and don’t comment. If you’re a teeny-bopper whose life revolves pathetically around Zanessa, go wank off to the pictures of them (Jared has plenty) and don’t cry here about how you want to see more. It’s got nothing to do with anything.

Thanks for the pictures Jared, they’re great. And I agree with Jen (#64) about using the term “Zikki”, if it gets THIS much of a reaction, it can only be a good thing.

really really really gorgeous.

I’m getting sick to death of seeing pics of zac ******* EFFRON!!! JJ is like you’re obsessed!!!

guess who!! @ 10/05/2007 at 6:34 am

Why not Korea??????
Are japan really different from Korea?
They are near about 3 hours for air.
I REALLY HOPE THAT ZAC WILL DROP BY KOREA.

omg he`s so gwapo!!!! I love zanessa but nikki drives me nuts i dont know i feel uncomfortable watching her next to zac. anywho hope to see Z and V downunder its spring over there and its freaking hot back home. I`m sure Zac will enjoy bronte beach, manly oh lets not forget bondi beach. Theres a lot of private houses you can rent to relax and sunbath. Oh how i miss sydney, too bad i live in europe. I am so homesick so i turn to puddle when i see ZANESSA ahhhhhhhhhhhhh so loka loka….lol

They are friends pleaseeee I have co-names with my best friends we hold hands and other things . What´s the problem?

Many people don´t like HSM and I don´t want to know about Zac´s love life so “who´s his girfriend?” mean nothing to me , I only see shipers of movies and tv and like a movie couple I love Nikki and Zac in their roles of Tracy and Link ;-)

Adam shankman can go screw himself. Zac can do whatever the hell he wants to

Ps. Justjared obviously zac efron fans don’t sleep either…

Such a pretty (not!) girl, that Zac Efron.

#70, just because somebody has been in the business longer doesn’t necessarily mean they are more talented. This girl, unlike Vanessa, CAN sing. Cool off.

#78, are you getting off on counting Zanessa’s comments. Freak.

So the girl is fat. SO WHAT?! You are probably, too - only you are on the other side of the screen. Tough luck, get over it.

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 7:31 am

Hey 86 chill man! i said they have talent and i did not mentioned the word more talented, it has diff meaning. sorry but i haven’t seen hairspray even if i like zac, still will not watch it. & i dont dig 60’s kind of film. so i have no idea how good (as u say) nikki sings.

&87 - yes..kinda, so what!Freak urself!

“say ok,” was that Zacs sign to Vanessa that he was thinking about her.haha

Its so cute when he scratches is head! =)
But the Hairspray promoting is going on forever..! Geez

now thats the zac efron hairdo i know and love!! its about time he goes back to HSM days…:) not that i didnt like it, he just looked kinda fake…but anywho…ugh, hate ZIKKI

i want more ZANESSA BABY!!!

#89, in that case, here’s one more. By all means, go on with your Zanessa comment-counting masturbation.

hi i am a big fan of zac efron come to nottingham pleaes

Is he going to be playing a high-schooler until he’s 45??

Loving the suit. Very sexy.

ahh he soo hot

Z & V Fan @ 10/05/2007 at 7:59 am

#43 There are several possible reasons Zac and Nikki are doing all the promotions.

1) The movie is mainly about Nikki’s character.

2) She and Z are the “newbies” and do not appear to have projects they have to get to right now.

3) Zac’s popularity sells tickets.

4) They are contractually obligated.

I am sure I could come up with a few more reasons if I tried. Anyway, I think the promotional stuff is coming to an end soon (unless they are going to South America). Besides, Zac will have to start filming soon so he won’t be able to go as much.

hahas nice pics (: the video about zac and nikki in japan promoting was a big laugh

#86 in case u don’t know I’ll tell you,Vanessa can sing and she’s very good in singing thing,I haven’t seen Hairspray ,too so I don’t know how nikki good in singing but V has amazing voice

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 8:09 am

ewwww! ur so gross 93! anyway.. noted! paalam!

hes soooo hott!!

love himm!

but nikki sucks!!

i wish zac returns back to eeuu soon C:

jj i love you but stop putting zikki¬¬… its zac and nikki¬¬ :P

V-LOYALIST, if anything is gross, it’s your obsession. Paalam yourself!

#100, I’ve heard the girl, that’s why I said that. If you like nasal singing, go right ahead, knock yourself out. You can even grab yourself some Britney while you’re at it.

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 8:23 am

103 - of course u dont know what paalam is..well im saying bye bye! Loosen up man!

You forgot to add “in Filipino” for my information.

de la Cruz @ 10/05/2007 at 8:27 am

Laura - Kevin Bacon made Footloose when he was age 24 - Zac should make other movies first that are not musicals, then do Footloose in about 4 years.

Gabriella1555 @ 10/05/2007 at 8:28 am

I hate Nikki Blonsky!!!!!!!!

Zac go back to Vanessa back to reality!!!!!!!!!!!

ZANESSA FOREVER AND EVER ABD EVER………….

stop zikki support zanessa

V-LOYALIST @ 10/05/2007 at 8:30 am

ooops sori 106.

#104 Maybe Nikki has a good voice,but Vanessa is much better ,everybody knows that ,and I don’t hate Nikki so I just say what I think

to 108: how are old are you? beacuse after reading your post you seem like a very young and inmature girl

Zacs looks hott..like always
and he has his ring on
ZANESSAA 4everrr

I LOVEEE NIKKIII SHE IS THE SWEETEST EVER! =)

ZAC LOOKS GOOD NO MATTER WHAT HE WEARS!! BUT I’M KINDA HOPING HE WILL SOON GET HIS HAIR CUT. JUST A FEW INCHES NIPPED OFF.

ZAC WAS REALLY GOOD IN DERBY STALLION, TOO.

NOW, HIS MOTO SHOULD BE, “I DON’T DANCE.”

Love Zac! Love Vanessa!!! Zanessa 4 ever!!!!!:)!!!!

#110 - and by “everybody” you mean “you”. *rolls eyes*

ACTUALLY, ZAC IS DANCING IN PICTURE #41. SO IS THE DIRECTOR.

he looks awesome! i cant wait for ausi!

OH GOD, he looks beautiful
i ♥ him!!
nikki i hate you!!!

From the block @ 10/05/2007 at 10:13 am

I think Ian’s hotter. Ian SomerHalder that is. (They both look alike). I seriously think he’s overrated.And yes, I’m prepared to get ‘attacked by his teenie bopper fans’.

ZAC I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ZAC AND VANESSA
ZAC ANDE ASHLEY NO!!!!

ZANESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ZAC AND VANESSA

ZACHARY DAVID ALEXANDER ENFRON***

i think he needs to get a nice new haircut since that longer one makes hin look like clay aiken…which is not exactly flattering…a shorter haircut would be really fine…i also think that the make up artists tend to apply too much make up on him which again isn’t flattering at all…i hope he also has a say on that if he wishes to achieve a more masculine look…he’s gorgeous as he is so looking more natural is the way to go for him…
as for nikki and zac i noticed that there isn’t any physical closeness (like handholding) any more, and the distance means he is aware that being bff is quite different from going steady, though he admits in the past that he and nikki had a thing going…they are probably just bff now which is just as cool…
i don’t know about zanessa but they are still going for HSM 3 so they really need to keep up that front and chemistry to keep the energy going…after the movie the answer remains to be seen…

to 123—

i think you’re right that there seems to be less physical contact between zac and nikki this trip. it just might be that the aussi and euro stops were during the whole vanessa pic thing, and i think nikki was probably supper supportive, like any good friend should be. i’m sure that whole situation was difficult for zac. i mean we have no idea what the whole story was, ie: were the pics for him, for someone else, how long ago were they taken?????? depending on the answers to those questions, the effect on zac could have varied widely. i mean, imo, if those pics were originally taken for someone else, that’s gotta be hard for a guy to accept, don’t you think?

anyway, i’m glad this is the last hairspray premier, because those two have got to be tire, and probably sick of watching the movie!!!!!!!

they both look great.

AND PEOPLE—-PLEASE STOP WITH THE I HATE NIKKI COMMENTS, THEY ARE JUST TOO RUDE FOR WORDS AND COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY!!!!!!!!

Brazilian fan ever @ 10/05/2007 at 10:43 am

In Portuguese I say:

TCHUTCHUCOOOO ^^

In English’s = CUTE GORGEOUS HOT haha

he’s totaly gentleman! =]

much luv GO ZANESSAAAAA 4EVER

aww i love zac &&&& nikki!
im a littl eoverweight too so i like seeing someone who is alittle shubby up their too!
also tho, i like nikki but people need to realise her an zac are friends- and him an vanessa are dating!

Q guapo estaba zac ……….. ^^

Grax x las pics !!

more pics about zanessa!!!!

more pics about zanessa!!!

I want photos of zanessa! when zack to Los Angeles returns?

i just want more pics about Vanessa! ;)

I love Zac and I can stand Nikki I just don’t like Zikki. I can’t wait for Zac to be in Australia for the Nickolodeon Kid Choice Awards or whatever it is. Hopefully Vanessa will be down there with him as well.

123 and 124 I agree with you that Nikki and Zac have less physical contact but that may be just the fact that in Japan there are not as openly affectionate there in fact too much affection in public is considered really rude. Hopefully we will see more of Nikki and Zac. May your st
