Zac Efron Celebrates His 21st Birthday
Late last week we learned from Zac Efron himself that he was planning on “laying low” this weekend when celebrating his transition into full adulthood on his 21st birthday (which was Saturday). Zac’s girlfriend and High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens interjected that she had a “surprise” in store for Zac on his birthday. So … just how did the boy, now man, wonder celebrate the big 2-1? Read on and find out:

It’s party time for Zac Efron! The star of High School Musical 3: Senior Year celebrated his 21st birthday Saturday with an intimate two-hour dinner party at L.A.’s Pace restaurant with a group of friends and family that included his parents and brother, girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, HSM3 costars Monique Coleman and Ashley Tisdale, her boyfriend Jared Murillo and pals Michelle Trachtenberg, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow and singing sisters Aly and AJ Michalka. Efron kept it causal in a T-shirt and jacket while Hudgens, 19, who “helped plan the party,” a source says, donned a colorful mini-dress. Guests arrived with wrapped gifts, including bottles of liquor for the actor, who can now legally drink alcohol. Efron and Hudgens left the rustic Italian eatery hand-in-hand just before midnight and disappeared into a waiting car. But the celebration continued at a nearby hotel, where the birthday boy hosted an afterparty with some of his dinner guests.
Indeed, I understand that Zac and Vanessa met up with popstars Aly and AJ at the very private Chateau Marmont for the after-birthday dinner party. As you can see, Zac was presented with a nice gift basket of birthday booze … no word on if he cracked into that particular gift on Saturday night but, well, I think it’s a safe bet that he did. For the most part, Zac did keep things on the downlow, managing to celebrate his 21st without causing too much of a ruckus. While I would’ve preferred to have seen some photos of Efron Gone Wild, I think he’s too smart for that kind of behavior. The Golden Child is now the Golden Man Child … in these tough economic times, it behooves him to remain as squeaky clean as possible and stay out of controversial trubs. In any event, Birthday Lurve goes out to Zachary Efron. Here’s hopin’ it’s not all downhill from here on out.
