Zac Efron wants a High School Musical movie return!

And he wants his Bad Neighbours co-star Seth Rogan to produce it.

The 26-year-old actor starred as Troy Bolton in the movie musical franchise, and he insists he is still proud of the role that brought him to global fame.

”I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for High School Musical. I love every fan. And to this day, I sign more High School Musical stuff than anything else. Would I do another? Absolutely,” he said.

”Getting High School Musical was a dream come true. I wasn’t always good at singing and dancing. I was horrible at it until I started training every day. But I loved doing it. I love any challenge,” Zac added.

If Zac does return to the role, he wants Seth Rogen to be the movie’s producer.

He said recently, ”I wish Seth could produce every film I’m in, he kind of just takes the lead he is always setting the pace and the tone for everybody.”

Yesterday cannot have been an easy day for the lovely Lea Michele as she celebrated what would have been Cory Monteith’s 32nd birthday.

The Glee star put all of the rumoured drama between herself and former co-star, Naya Rivera, behind her and took to her Twitter account to make the heartfelt tribute: “The biggest heart and most beautiful smile..In all of our hearts.. We love you so. Happy Birthday.”

Cory passed away last July from a heroin and alcohol overdose in Vancouver, Canada.

Lea really has proved herself to be a very strong and inspirational woman in this past difficult year.

John Rocha announced last week that he plans to retire from fashion for good, as he revealed that his autumn/summer collection will be his last.

The Irish based designer said he will be hiring a creative director to take over his company.

John explained the reasons behind his decision was mostly as a result of  not having enough time for himself.

“People ask me why, and it’s because I want to do more with my time. At this point in my life I want to live by my calendar and not the Fashion Week calendar. Stopping allows me to do that. It’s not an overnight decision, Odette and I have been talking about it for some time”.

While his decision is understandable, John Rocha will be missed, he has been a huge influence on both the Irish and international fashion scenes.

She’s never been one to mince her words, but this time Sharon Osbourne may have gone a little too far.

The former X Factor judge has admitted she can’t stand talent shows!

Sharon said she’s sick of judging other people’s talent, and listening to the contestant’s “sob stories.”

Sharon said, “If one more person stands up in front of me and sings… I’ve had it with people singing at me. I have had it with people singing on TV.

“And they’ve all got something wrong – they have either got one lung, one kidney, or they came up like this or that. They’ve all got somebody sick in hospital.

“It’s like, ‘Oh lord, just shut up and sing’. But when they sing, it’s like ‘please stop it.’”

She went on to slam talent show judges and their “fake tears.”

“If I see another judge cry… and as soon as they go out the door we burst out laughing,” said Sharon

The X Factor wasn’t the only show Sharon hit out at.

Speaking about The Voice she said, “They are making it out like it is just The Voice. Well hold on here, if ‘you are butt ugly and 9000 pounds’, what are we going to do with you?”

Don’t hold back Sharon!

He asks you to hangout
A sure sign that he has no romantic plans for the evening. Even though we can spend hours trying to figure out guy code, sometimes there is no code and your fella simply just wants to hang out.

No touching
If he was remotely attracted to you, he would make some subtle or sweet attempts to embrace you. Sometimes, it can be intentional and sometimes, it can be done subconsciously. But if you give him ample opportunities to make a move on you and he doesn’t oblige, safe to say he’s not interested.

Your one of the guys
If you hang around with his friends a lot, especially if he isn’t there, that’s a sure sign he doesn’t view as a romantic partner. If he was really attracted to you, for the first few weeks anyway he would definitely want to keep you to himself.

No effort
This is hard to tell, as a lot of guys don’t make an effort in general. But if he really liked you, he wouldn’t definitely go out of his way, to woo you off your feet.

Bradley Cooper has been trashed in a book written by his ex-wife.

The star, who was briefly married to actress Jennifer Esposito from December 2006 until May 2007, is believed to be the unnamed man mentioned in her new book Jennifer’s Way.

Jennifer describes the man as ”funny, smart, cocky, arrogant and a master manipulator”.

The actress went on to say the man had a ”mean, cold side,” and his personality ”could flip on a dime.”

Jennifer claims her relationship with the American Hustle star was unhealthy and she felt as though she was a ”nonissue”.

She added, ”I became very sad and I felt very alone”, before the relationship ”hit an all-time low” and within a week it was over.

Speaking about the couple’s break-up, she said it happened, ”Abruptly, rudely, and with the exact callousness that I’d come to expect from him.”

Uh oh – what will Suki say?!

With George Clooney’s LONG line of past beaus, you can’t blame his new fiancée for wanting to feel special.

And the first picture of the engagement ring the Hollywood actor gave his bride-to-be Amal Alamuddin, shows just how special she is to him.

The stunning seven-carat diamond and platinum engagement ring is estimated to be worth around £450,000, and looks every penny.

While in the past, he may have had more girlfriends than hot dinners, it seems George thinks his British lawyer fiancée is one in a million and yesterday it was revealed just how he set about winning her over.

The actor apparently sent a tongue-in-cheek message to the lawyer after meeting her at a charity event, where she refused to take his number.

He reportedly sent her a jokey email suggesting that the ‘reported hottest man in the world should meet with the hottest human rights lawyer in the world.’

Although she was impressed, Amal apparently she still made the actor wait a few days for a reply.

We like your style Amal!

Think the only person affected by your stress is you? Think again!

According to a new study, your stress can actually rub off onto other people, especially your partner.

Researchers from Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences and the Technische Universitat Dresden found that watching someone else going through a stressful time, can increase other people’s stress levels.

The study was published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology and was made up of strangers of the opposite sex or loved ones.

According to the research “Empathic stress arose primarily when the observer and stressed individual were partners in a couple relationship and the stressful situation could be directly observed through a one-way mirror.”

While empathic stress may be a little lower if you don’t really know the person, it can increase when someone you love is going through a stressful time,  with 40% of those in the study experiencing increased cortisol levels when a loved one is stressed.

It seems Mark Wright’s ex-flame has definitely moved on by dating a gorgeous footballer – in secret!

TOWIE star Lauren Goodger has been keeping tight-lipped about her love life, but apparently she and England squad footballer Alex McCarthy are one loved up couple.

Lauren and the Reading FC goalkeeper first met last year, but it’s gotten pretty serious between the couple in the past few months.

Earlier this year, Lauren admitted that she was trying to keep a new romance secret, “I’m enjoying seeing him out of the limelight. I’m still single, but now I’m home we’ve made plans to see each other and go on a few dates.”

Only recently Lauren has been reeling over another public spat with her ex Mark, in which he demanded she have some respect for his fiancée Michelle Keegan and “MOVE ON!”

Ouch!

While it seems as if she has, we can’t help but notice a bit of a resemblance between Lauren’s former and current beaus!
