Of Course It Didn't Happen

Thumbnail image for zac-efron-main-wikipedia.jpgMy morning was epic! A restless non-snooze at a roadside motel, white-knuckling it down the I-5 in snowstorm and the first food to come my way was at 2 p.m. - it happened to be slathered in mayonnaise, which I hate. What's exciting about this story? Absolutely nothing. It's still more exciting than Zac Efron. The Mirror reported that Zac was boozed up and dancing on a table at a party. Of course Tom-Cruise-In-Training couldn't even get up to that much trouble - it didn't even come close to happening! Details, courtesy of Gossip Cop

[Maybe the Mirror's "3am" column should get a little more sleep because their facts are a little blurry about Zac Efron partying in London the other night. According to the tab, the "High School Musical" star was a on "four-hour booze bender" after the premiere of his new film, "Me & Orson Welles."

The paper claims that at the film's after-party, held at a Hawaiian-themed club called Kanaloa, Efron got "a round of rum shots" for his co-stars and then footed the bill for some $165-a-pop concoctions called the "Treasure Chest," which the paper describes as "a potent brew of peach schnapps and brandy, topped with a bottle of bubbly."

Reportedly all liquored up, Efron allegedly "grabbed a Hawaiian lei garland, flung it around his neck, jumped up on the bamboo tables and started busting his moves to Beyonce and the Beach Boys." Added a so-called source, "He was having a great time and was the life and soul of the party."

We'd say we're sorry that we missed it, but it actually NEVER happened. A source, who was with Efron at the after-party, tells Gossip Cop that the star, jet-lagged from flying in earlier that day, hung out a little bit with his director Richard Linklater and co-stars Claire Danes and Christian McKay, but "left early" - no bender, no booty shaking.

And Efron's rep confirms to Gossip Cop that the story was "completely made up," and that her client called it a night after a short stay at the club because he had to get up early the next day for press interviews.]

I thought the Mirror story sounded suspicious for several reasons: 1.) He's not that imaginative. 2.) Celeb reps always tell the truth, so clearly this incident never took place. 3.) "The Treasure Chest" sounds waaay to manly for him - I picture Efron as more of a "French Tickler" kind of fellow.
