EFRON AND HUDGENS GET SEXY PHOTOS

Zac Efron And Vanessa Anne Hudgens

Sexy couple Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have shocked their young fans after they appeared together in a series of saucy beach snaps. In the paparazzi pictures, published in In Touch Weekly, the Disney stars can be seen embracing one another while vacationing in the Turks and Caicos Islands over the 4th of July holiday weekend. And in one especially sexy photo, Hudgens straddles Efron while wearing a bright red string bikini on the beach. Last year, 19-year-old Hudgens was devastated when full-frontal nude shots, allegedly taken to titillate Efron, appeared on the Internet.

ZAC EFRON ON BLOGGERS GAY RUMORS

Sexy Zac Efron

Sexy teen idol Zac Efron insists he doesn’t mind being called gay, because it isn’t the worst label he could be given. The 20-year-old Hollywood actor rose to fame with his role as the singing and dancing basketball player Troy Bolton in Disney’s hit 'High School Musical' and is frequently accused by gossip bloggers of hiding his homosexuality. But the talented Hairspray star, who is dating his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens, maintains the insinuations don’t bother him. He says, "Honestly, if the worst these people can say about me is that I’m gay, then I think I’ll be fine. I can handle it."
