One of Hollywood’s youngest golden couples has called it quits. People.com reported that High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have split after four years together. A source tells People that “they are 100 percent still good friends.” Efron, 23, is filming The Lucky One in New Orleans, and Hudgens, who turns 22 on Tuesday, is working on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island in Hawaii. No reason was given for the split.
Chase Crawford will no longer be getting Footloose. The 24 year-old actor, who had signed on to play the role of Ren McCormack (originally played by Kevin Bacon) is now backing out of the gig. People.com reports the actor will be too busy shooting his hit CW show, Gossip Girl. Zac Efron has also reportedly turned down the role, for fear of being typecast. Now, Paramount Pictures must decide how to fill the role, either with an unknown actor or launching a nationwide search for Crawford’s replacement.
