Zac Efron, Copy Cat

If Zac Efron gets his way, except tweens across the globe to start having heart palpitations and collapsing in the streets.

The High School Musical star, who can’t seem to forge his own path in the entertainment industry, is looking to steal rival Daniel Radcliffe’s, er, thunder, by taking over the Harry Potter actor’s role in the controversial Broadway hit, Equus.

After seeing the number of accolades Radcliffe has received since first appearing naked on stage in Britain, Efron has decided that a stint in the stage production could be just what he needs to break out of his Disney-friendly roles.

“You know that Daniel Radcliffe role on Broadway, well it’s been mentioned,” Efron let slip at the premiere of his new film, High School Musical 3.

Oh, please! Efron, naked on Broadway?! If that happens, I’m gonna need a bucket, some Vicodin, and a blindfold. And not necessarily in that order.

Harry Potter Wants to Wear Dresses

Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has admitted that he has a secret fetish for wearing dresses.

The 19-year-old, who’s been trying to break out of his boy wizard mould by performing nude on Broadway in Equus, revealed to Details magazine that he “wouldn’t mind” doing a bit of cross-dressing, if the opportunity presented itself.

“I think part of me would love to play a drag queen,” Radcliffe said, “just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.”

This statement comes for the boy who says he has fantasies about the British (male!) cricketing team. Is he trying to alienate his admiring female audience?!

Not to mention, his Details cover does look a little transvestite-ish…

Harry Potter Star Admits to Brain Disorder

Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has admitted he suffers from a mild form of dyspraxia, a brain disorder that if often associated with clumsiness and learning difficulties.

The star of J.K. Rowling’s epic series said that while he’s not as affected by the disorder as some sufferers, he still has trouble with simple tasks, like tying his shoelaces and writing.

“I sometimes think, ‘Why, oh why, has Velcro not taken off?’” he joked in a recent interview to promote his Broadway debut in the play Equus.

But it’s not so bad, Radcliffe said, as the dyspraxia was the reason he got into acting - and subsequently won him the role that made him a millionaire before he was 18 - in the first place.

Radcliffe explained that because he wasn’t doing so well at school, he turned his sights to the world of acting, a decision his mother wasn’t originally pleased with.

“My mother said, ‘Oh no you don’t,’” when he first voiced his desire to act at the tender age of five.

However, she finally allowed him to audition for the role of David Copperfield in a BBC version of the Dickens classic to boost his confidence, and the rest, they say, is history.

“I was having a hard time at school in terms of being c**p at everything, with no discernible talent,” Radcliffe said.

Radcliffe Searching For Mystery Aussie Love

Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that a mystery Australian girl has stolen his heart, and he’s now searching for her, with the help of the News Ltd. paper.

The 18-year-old ‘boy wizard’ explained that he met the young woman backstage at the recent AFI Awards, and was so captivated by her that he’d like nothing more than to see her again and tell her that.

“[She] stared at [me] all night,” Radcliffe explained to the Daily Telegraph. “[It was] like she wanted to pounce on me.”

After Radcliffe’s search for the unknown girl failed, News Ltd. launched a campaign on their website to help find his mystery love.

Whether or not the girl is located, Radcliffe says he loves Australia so much that he’s hoping to return with his friends soon, possibly in time for the next Ashes cricket series.

Nude Harry Potter Heading to Broadway

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has begun preparations for his upcoming Broadway debut, which will see him reprise the role of Alan in Peter Shaffer’s psychological stage drama Equus.

The 18-year-old boy wizard will drop his pants in front of a New York audience when the production goes on show in the States this fall.

Previews will begin on September 5 at the Broadhurst Theatre, with an official opening night scheduled for September 25.

Though Radcliffe is excited about starring on Broadway, he’s a little anxious that his 10-minute nude scene won’t go down as well in the Big Apple as it did in London.

“It will be amazing,” Radcliffe said, “but I will be terrified because I was talking to [costar] Richard Griffiths about playing New York, and he said the most stupid thing you can do is underestimate New York audiences.”

Harry Puffer

Little Harry Potter actor Dan Radcliffe may be all grown up now, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t look strange to see him sucking on a fag in between takes.

The 18-year-old star reportedly picked up his pack-a-day habit after hanging around with older actors like Kevin Spacey and Stephen Fry, who are rather fond of lighting up whenever the craving strikes.

Kim Cattrall Likes ‘Em Young!

ÂÂ

She might be just over the 50-year hump, but that hasn’t stopped Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall eyeing off the younger men.

The actress, who recently worked with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, was quoted as saying she thought the boy wizard was “very attractive.”

“He’s quite a package. He really is in great shape,” Cattrall told the Daily Record. “When I saw him in uniform it took my breath away.”

I guess the fact that she’s old enough to be his grandmother didn’t faze the 51-year-old star, who’s currently dating a Canadian chef 23 years her junior.
