Me and Orson Welles Premiere

Tonight Zac Efron, Richard Linklater, and Christian McKay thrilled Austinites of all ages at the historical Paramount Theatre. The trio was walking the red carpet at the premiere of Linklater's new film "Me and Orson Welles."

Fans lined up in front of the theatre waiting to catch a glimpse of heart throb Efron as he posed for pictures and signed autographs. Linklater and McKay spent their time on the carpet answering questions and talking to friends.

"People say welcome back to Austin, and I say I never left" said Linklater. " I shot this U.K. but I'm back the day after wrap."

The film itself follows 17-year-old Richard Samuels, Efron, as meets Orson Welles, McKay, as he is cast in Welles' 1937 production of Julius Cesar. "Me and Orson Welles" also stars Claire Danes and will be released nation wide on December 11th.

Zac Efron's Twilight Induced Break

Just read a funny little article about Zac Efron and his gratitude to teen-heart-throb-of-the-moment Robert Pattinson for taking the spotlight momentarily.

Teens, moms, and tweens are currently all feasting on pictures, interviews, movies, and magazines that have Pattinson's face plastered on them right now because of this weekends release of The Twilight Sage: New Moon. This gives Efron a chance to take a breath. Here is a link to the full article.

I typically try not to think too much about the life of a teen heart throb as my oppurunity to be one has long since passed me by. But on the off chance I do think about it things like this rarely cross my mind. If I was in Efron's shoes would I be thankful or jealous? Can't really say. More power to him though for embracing the break.

Efron's newest flick Me And Orson Welles comes out this Wednesday.
