> Brace yourselves: Zac Efron wants to show you his penis. The High School Musical star is apparently ready to shed his squeaky clean Disney image and he thinks that baring his goodies in the play Equus might be the way to do it. "You know that Daniel Radcliffe role on Broadway? Well it's been mentioned," he told the Sun. Efron is also hoping that a few new non-nudie projects he has lined up -- like the period drama Me and Orson Welles and a remake of the '80s classic Footloose -- will help diversify his appeal. For the record, we're anti-Footloose remake (it falls into the "don't mess with a good thing" category) but very pro-Equus (it falls into the "heartthrobs flashing their junk is always A-OK" category).
> Mr. Jay (Jay Manual) and Ms. J (J. Alexander) are getting their own TV series. Tyra Banks' two style sidekicks will star in Operation Fabulous, a spin off of America's Next Top Model. The show will feature the pair stopping off in various towns across America where they'll choose five ordinary women to receive complete makeovers. The transformations will focus on "how to dress, wear their hair and makeup and bring out their confidence with the support of family, friends and their community," reports Reuters. Top Model chiefs Banks and Ken Mok will executive produce. With 18,000 makeover shows already running, it's not exactly the most original idea, but we LOVE Ms. J and we're just as juiced that Tyra found the strength to be involved with a project that won't allow her to hog the majority (or dare we hope it -- any!) of the show's air time.
> If you refuse to parade around as one of the Trollsen twins for Halloween, and none of our suggestions for movie-themed costumes really got you going, you could always do what Lindsay Lohan is doing: dress up like Sarah Palin. A source tells the NY Daily News that this Halloween Linds plans on donning the VP nominee's "Tina Fey" glasses, a red suit, and "ample cleavage" to achieve Palin's trademark look. Girlfriend Samantha Ronson will allegedly go in drag as the Alaskan governor's hunky snowmobile ridin' husband, Todd. We love it! And maybe they can get a few of their friends to go as wolf or moose carcasses riddled with rifle bullets or a swarm of Russian townsfolk that have somehow managed to infultrate Alaska despite Palin's careful monitoring of the border.
