Zac Efron is enjoying the single life according to friends

The ‘Charlie St. Cloud‘ actor split with his long term girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, in December last year and friends have laughed off rumours he is going out with Rumer Willis - daughter of ‘Die Hard‘ star Bruce – saying he’s happy on his own.

A friend of the 23-year old actor told website hollywoodlife.com: “Zac broke up with Vanessa to be single. He’s not going to rush into another relationship.”

About rumours Zac was romancing Rumer after they were pictured looking “cozy” on a Caribbean New Year’s holiday, the friend added: “I wouldn’t read into that get together as anything more than friends.”

Soon after Zac and Vanessa split, sources said they were confident the couple may get back together again in the future, and he reportedly dropped in to see her in Los Angeles earlier this week.

A source said: “They realise that they both can trust each other, and there will be a bond between them forever. I’d be shocked if they don’t get back together someday.”

Vanessa, 22, has since said the pair are “good” with each other, but that it is unlikely they will reconcile in 2011 as she will be working so hard.

She said: “It’s going to be a very, very busy year. I have three movies coming out, so I’m excited to see what the future is going to hold.”

Gia Mantegna has been named Miss Golden Globe 2011

The 20-year-old actress – who is the daughter of former award nominee Joe Mantegna and his restaurateur wife Arlene – feels “honoured” to have been awarded the prestigious title by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

She said: “I have grown up watching the Golden Globes with my family and feel so fortunate to be part of such a magical evening, so early on in my career.”

Previous Miss Golden Globes include Melanie Griffith – daughter of Hitchcock’s leading lady Tippi Hedren - who gave out the awards in 1975.

Rumer Willis – whose parents are Bruce Willis and Demi Moore – was named Miss Golden Globe in 2008, but the subsequent ceremony was cancelled due to the Hollywood writer’s strike.

Kevin Costner’s daughter Lily was Miss Golden Globe in 2004 and in 1995 the title was given to a boy, Clark Gable’s son John.

Gia – who is dating ‘Hannah Montana’ actor Mitchel Musso – started her acting career at the age of 13 when she appeared in the film ‘Uncle Nero’ alongside her father.

She has since appeared on ‘Secret Life of the American Teenager,’ ‘Criminal Minds’ and NickTeen series ‘Gigantic’ alongside Meryl Streep’s daughter Grace Gummer.

The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philip Berk, commented: “We are thrilled to have Gia as this year’s Miss Golden Globe.

“She is just as talented as she is beautiful and will surely be a great addition to the show.”

The 68th Golden Globe Awards – which honour the best in film and television – will be presented on January 16 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in California.

Miley Cyrus kissed teen actor Avan Jogia during her 18th birthday party on Sunday night (21.11.10)

The singer-and-actress – whose actual birthday is today (23.11.10) – celebrated reaching the landmark age at Los Angeles nightclub Trousdale.

She headed straight to the nightspot after performing at the American Music Awards (AMAs) and was seen smooching the 18-year-old Canadian star – who appears in new Nickelodeon TV series ‘Victorious’, which follows the life of fictional aspiring singer Tori Vega and her days at performing arts high school Hollywood Arts.

Despite the embrace, it has been claimed that Miley and Avan are not dating.

A source told People: “They’re just hanging out. She’s still single. They have just hung out together a few times and are getting to know each other – that’s really it right now.”

The ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ hitmaker partied with her mother Tish, actress Demi Moore and her husband Ashton Kutcher, Demi’s daughter Rumer Willis, Kelly Osbourne, actor-and-rapper Kyle Massey and ‘Glee’ stars Mark Salling and Chord Overstreet as DJ Cobra played music.

As well as getting a birthday kiss from Avan, Miley was also treated to a giant red velvet cake, Key lime pies, chocolate mousse and raspberry shot glasses and a dessert table, all provided by the Sweet & Saucy Shop.

The teen star – whose father Billy Ray Cyrus is currently divorcing her mother – has revealed she likes to celebrate her birthday for an entire month.

She said: “I have a birthday month. I do the whole month of November. Thanksgiving, cake – it’s all about me on Thanksgiving!”

The ‘House Bunny’ actress has landed a guest role in ‘90210′ which will see her character Gia embark on a relationship with teenage mother Adrianna, played by Jessica Lowndes, in a forthcoming storyline on the US TV show, but bosses have denied it is a bid to boost ratings.

The show’s executive producer Rebecca Sinclair said: “This isn’t a fling. We’re coming at this relationship from a genuine place and not going, ‘Let’s do a titillating story that will grab some promotion.’

“This is a real aspect of teenager life that’s interesting. And there’s been a real void in the 90210 universe in terms of gay and bisexual characters.”

Rumer – the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis – is due to guest star in the show for three episodes.

Jessica admits she is terrified about filming the scenes.

She said: “I’ve never kissed a girl before so it’s a little nerve-racking.”

Jessica is not the only actress who has had reservations about shooting same-sex love scenes.

‘Jennifer’s Body’ actress Amanda Seyfried found it “weird” when she was forced to smooch with her co-star Megan Fox.

She said: “It is just weird. It is a woman. With a woman’s smell – soft and floral-y – and maybe the pheromones are different. Something about it felt uncomfortable for me.”
