The sham is over. Zac Efron has shaved his beard split from long time girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens.

According to E! Online, “They were together for so long. It just ran its course.However, no cheating seems to be involved. It’s nothing dramatic. There’s no third party involved.”

This story throws a monkey wrench in the whole’ Zac Efron is gay and his relationship with Vanessa Hudgens is just a front‘ thing. Or does it? Maybe it’s just a calculated PR move to keep the’ Zac is straight hope alive‘ thing going.

Either way, it’s an entertaining. Squeaky clean Zac and his High School Musical co-star Corbin Bleu hit up Flashdancers Gentlemens’ Club on Broadway Sunday night and spent more than $2000 on lap dances and vodka.

Zac and Corbin  stayed until 3 a.m., just hours before the New York premiere of his new family-friendly flick, “Charlie St. Cloud” and according to Page Six spies took a shine to three pretty brunette dancers in particular.

Zac will replace Tobey Maguire in the fourth blockbuster movie, due to start shooting later this year and scheduled to hit cinemas in 2012.  Tobey, 34, stunned bosses at Universal Pictures last year when he announced he was quitting the megabucks franchise.

But a studio insider revealed: “After dumping Spidey, Tobey then came to the rescue by recommending that Zac should take over his role.”

Producers believe the 22-year-old, who has a huge teen following, will bring new fans to the Spider-Man series by playing the reluctant hero and his alter ego Peter Parker. They are also believed to be considering reuniting Zac with his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens, 21. She is hotly tipped to replace Kirsten Dunst, 27, as Spider-Man’s love interest and the source added: “It would be a great coup to land her as well.

“The franchise would be revitalised and transformed by two of Hollywood’s most gifted and fast-rising young stars.”

And this my friends, is why is so crucial that Zac continue to convince everyone that he is straight.

I love blind items and the brilliant mind over at CrazyDaysand Nights.com posted a doozy over the holiday. The majority of the comments agreed it was about Zac Efron.

At a recent movie premiere this married foreign born B-/C+ list movie actor appeared to out this former A list tweener and now B list movie actor. At the premiere our foreign born actor said to a group of people standing next with him, “well you know ______ is gay.” He said it very loudly and in the same room as the former tweener, although he wasn’t overgeard by the former tweener. The former tweener’s C list actress girlfriend was not in attendance but ourforeign born B- list movie actress wife was.

#1 – foreign born actor – Hugh Dancy
#2 – former tweener – Zac Efron
#3 – former tweener’s girlfriend – Vanessa Hudgins
#4 – foreign born actor’s wife – Claire Danes

Movie premiere they were attending: Me and Orson Welles starring #2 and #4

This should put the ‘Zac Efron is gay rumors‘ to rest. If he actually pulled off a hook-up with Megan Fox no one will ever question his sexuality again. Zac was spotted having dinner with Megan earlier this week…meanwhile somewhere in L.A….little Vanessa Hudgins is having a total meltdown. There is no way the High School Musical tart can hold her own again the queen of the Tranformers.

The 23-year-old stunner shared an intimate dinner with Zac Efron on Tuesday night at Pace, an upscale restaurant in Laurel Canyon, California, Celebuzz can exclusively report.
A fellow diner revealed, “They were very friendly and their faces were close when they talked.”
It’s no secret that the Transformers 2 actress has had a thing for the 21-year-old High School Musical heartthrob for quite some time. As we reported back in January, the two flirted at the Golden Globe Awards, raising eyebrows at an after-party.
