After Zac Efron’s much talked about kiss on MuchMusic, our friends at ENewsBuzz caught the Hairspray star rolling up his sleeves and digging into some mini-burgers at a private party held at the Drake Hotel in Toronto on Monday night.

Poor Zac was attacked by cougars all night, our spywitness tell JustJared.com.

Also in attendance was Hairspray costar Amanda Bynes, who jumped ship early and had dinner with a gal pal at Italian restaurant Sotto Sotto Trattoria. Newcomer Nikki Blonsky was joined by her parents and younger brother.

You can stream the entire Hairspray soundtrack at AOL Music. And don’t forget to enter our Hairspray contest to win hand fans of the entire cast!

Hairspray dreamboat Zac Efron lays a big wet one on co-star Nikki Blonsky at Canadian TV’s MuchMusic to promote the film version of the Broadway musical. Actually, Zac kisses Nikki not once, but three times as co-stars co-stars Elijah Kelley and Amanda Bynes cheered them on.

“I’m in so much trouble,” exclaimed Zac, wiping his mouth after the mini-make-out session. That’s right. Lay the smackdown, Vanessa! Watch the video of Zac and Nikki going at it below!!

Co-stars Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes (in TopShop), Nikki Blonsky, and Elijah Kelley walk the rainbow carpet at the UK premiere of Hairspray at the Odeon Cinema Leicester Square in London on Thursday.

What a cute buncha kids!

I went to a screening of Hairspray last month and you will not want to miss this. This movie is FUN FUN FUN! Although the singing is not up to par with that of the musical, the acting and the personalties shine through.

Unfortunately, John Travolta is not half as funny as Harvey Fierstein, who plays crossdresser Edna Turnblad in the musical. What makes Edna endearing and hilarious in the musical is Fierstein’s trademark foghorn voice. Travolta raises the pitch of his voice to sound like a real woman and it… just doesn’t cut it. Otherwise, this film will knock your stockings off.

Hairspray opens in the UK and US on Friday, July 20.

Amanda Bynes wore a Kate Moss-designed dobby spot one shoulder dress to the UK premiere of Hairspray on Thursday. The actress finished off her look with a pair of metallic strappy sandals.

Selma Blair wore a white version of the TopShop dress to the women’s filmmaker brunch held at NYC’s SoHo House back in May. She also went with metallic heels.

Who wore it best — AMANDA BYNES or SELMA BLAIR?

Hairspray movie stills just surfaced and I cannot wait for this film to be released!

The movie version of Hairspray hits theaters nationwide July 20.

Fun Tidbit: Ricki Lake, who played Tracy Turnblad in the 1988 film version of Hairspray, will make a cameo as a William Morris talent agent who appears at the Miss Teenage Hairspray 1962 pageant.

If you haven’t seen the Broadway musical of Hairspray, you can catch Ashley Parker Angel, formerly of boy band O-Town, as Link Larkin, starting Jan. 19.

If you’re not familiar with Hairspray or Broadway musicals at all, watch the video below of the original cast of Hairspray: The Musical on The Today Show in September 2002. One of the most fun songs ever!

Production for the movie version of Hairspray, which opens in 2007, is already well under way in Toronto, Canada.  Above is our very first look at Amanda Bynes (Penny Pingleton) and Zac Efron (Link Larkin) on the set of Hairspray pretty much looking the part of 1960’s Baltimore.  Nice lolly, Amanda!  Nice white kicks, Zac!

Allison Janney (The West Wing) was recently announced as joining the cast of  Hairspray. She will play Prudy Pingleton, the overbearing mother of Penny (Amanda)

Amanda, Zac, and Allison join the ridiculously all-star cast of John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, and newcomer Nikki Blonsky. More pictures in the gallery including James Marsden (Corny Collins) and Elijah Kelley (Seaweed J. Stubbs)!
