If you know anything about Rose McGowan, it's probably that the actress used to date over-the-top rocker Marilyn Manson or that she's notorious for bad-girl, vixen-esque acting roles.

So when we ran into the star at the Burberry event celebrating the opening of the British company's new headquarters in New York and asked her who her Hollywood crush is, we kind of expected McGowan to say something that made more sense — like Johnny Depp. Or Adam Lambert even — someone with at least a little bit of edge or controversy. But no.

Instead, we got an answer no one was expecting: Cary Grant (also random) and — wait for it — Zac Efron.

Yes, Disney's boy wonder and generally squeaky-clean teen heartthrob is Rose McGowan's celebrity crush. Read more...

Emma Watson might not know much about "Twilight," but the "Harry Potter" star swears she knew Robert Pattinson would be a massive star long before he became Edward Cullen.

So it seems there are some people on the Internet that think that Zac Efron is engaged again. I have to say, this is getting a little bit silly — if anyone is going to know whether the "17 Again" star is engaged, it's me. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "Doesn't she mean his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens?"

And some people might feel that way, but since I do not have a ring on my finger, I know for a fact he isn't engaged. And, according to his rep, he's not engaged to Vanessa Hudgens either.

So, there you have it: Zac is not engaged — to me or to Vanessa. Now, can we just move on already and talk about how dreamy he is again? Read more...

As you can ascertain from the photographic evidence, Zac Efron and I get along pretty famously, but this still wasn't enough to convince my colleague, Josh Horowitz, to give up one of his famous Rough Cut interviews to me and let me do the Zefron sit-down instead.

That's fine by me. I obviously don't hold a grudge. But it sort of meant that the line of questioning that went down between the two fellows was a lot less colorful. That doesn't mean that I didn't try to get Josh to ask a few questions for me. He declined. So, Josh neglected to ask where Zac was taking me on our first date. And he never asked him how pretty he thinks I am. Also, he forgot to ask him if I was allowed to adjust his bangs.

Instead, Josh went the professional route and asked Zac about his movies and his career and all that jazz. I'm cool with that, because I remembered to ask him to take a picture of us together. Now, don’t we look cute together?

With the release of Zac Efron's "17 Again" on April 17, it's "High School Musical" alumni week. MTV News is going to catch you up on what the future holds for all of your favorite East High Wildcats!

It's been done to Miley, it's been done to the Jonas Brothers — it was only a matter of time before Madame Tussaud got her waxy hands on Zac Efron.

The Disney star's wax figure was unveiled today at the Madame Tussauds in New York. The museum chose to portray "Wax" Efron in his role of basketball-playing Troy Bolton, complete with Spalding ball, red Wild Cat uniform and team sneakers. The figure also sports a brace on his left leg, which I don't remember from the "High School Musical" movies, but that might just be me.

Fans were on hand to pose with the team captain, who, by the way, did not lose any arm definition in the transformation. While it seems Zac's signature locks are beyond re-creation, his long-lashed blue eyes are nearly spot on. Check out more photos of the waxed Zac from the unveiling.

Is Zac Efron trying to tell us something? If he is, his message is definitely mixed. Zac, 21, seems to be spending his days talking to the press about very adult things and posing with naked women in very provocative ways, while still doing publicity for the family-friendly flick "17 Again."

First, Efron dished about how his mom bought him condoms for Christmas 'cause she knew he was having sex. Now he's posing for Interview magazine in a T-shirt while a naked woman (not Vanessa Hudgens) lies on top of him.

Confession time: I love "High School Musical." You do too. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. And for die-hard "HSM" fans, recent news that the franchise will officially return to television is bittersweet.

Yes, East High will live on, but could it possibly be the same without singing sweethearts Troy and Gabriella? Remember "Grease 2" (sans John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John)? Or "Saved by the Bell: The New Class"?

Yeah, it won't be the same. But fear not, Wildcat fans, Ashley, Corbin, Vanessa and Zac all have new projects on the horizon. It's a pivotal time for the principal castmembers — will they forge on to futures full of successful albums and blockbuster movies, or will they forever be known as those Disney musical kids?

Well, we've got the rundown on when and where you'll see them next. Read more...

Everyone wanted to look amazing at this year's Oscars, and it was definitely a night for actresses to grace the red carpet in red or some shade of white. Some people did it right, while others left a lot to be desired.

Here are our picks for best and worst of Oscar fashion:

Best

Sarah Jessica Parker: The "Sex and the City" star loves to look like a ballerina, but she knows how to do it right and make sure she looks sexy.

Natalie Portman: Breaking the night's trend of red and white, she showed up in shocking pink. Portman looked sophisticated and fresh. Read more...

The Golden Globes were back this year in a big way, and some of our favorite young stars joined their elder celebrity statesmen and -women for the festivities. From the Jonas Brothers to the "High School Musical" cast, the pop stars, small-screen beauties and blockbuster sweethearts were out in full force. So how did these fresh faces fare on the red carpet? Here is our opinion. (Click on the names for photos to refresh your memory.)

Blake Lively: Thumbs down. The "Gossip Girl" star is usually a hit on the red carpet, but this one was certainly a miss. The dress itself is beautiful, but it didn't seem to fit her and the color of the dress did not match her skin tone. Also, she could have done something with her hair. It seems this is the only style she is comfortable going for. Next time, take a risk, Blake!

The Jonas Brothers: Nick Jonas: Thumbs down. Velvet jacket, no tie — you should know better. It's the Golden Globes! Kevin Jonas: Thumbs up. Never can go wrong with a classic tux. Joe Jonas: Thumbs up. The red shirt underneath his suit was a good choice. Read more...
