Zac Efron is taking his off for a good cause (no, unfortunately not because he is hopping into one of our beds) -- he's doing it for charity! The High School Musical alum showed off his toned chest while making skateboards for Lekker Skateboards. The company just released a video, that was soon taken down for copyright reasons but not before we got to see some hot shots of those killer abs!
Last week the 26-year-old tweeted about the experience, "My friend taught me how to make skateboards. Stay tuned to find out how you can win one & help an incredible charity."
In the vid, the
Neighbors actor works with various machinery used to make the company’s unique brand of skateboards ... bla bla bla ... we don't care -- we only care that super sexy Zac Efron has no shirt on!

From one reality show to another!
Rob Kardashian made a rare appearance out in public to meet up with momager Kris Jenner in L.A. to discuss the possibility of appearing on the weight loss competition show
The Biggest Loser!
The 27-year-old's weight has ballooned over the past year, and he's even been in hiding and skipped sister Kim's wedding because of his insecurities over his appearance, so his mom thinks this is the perfect opportunity for her son to get back into shape.
Apprently the Kardashian matriarch has been taking meetings with E! executives to convince them to throw around their weight - no pun intended! - and get him cast on the NBC program.
"With
The Biggest Loser being on NBC, they share a lot of the same people who make decisions on E!, so Kris has been in meetings to see if it would work to have Rob on Season 16 this fall," a source dished to
Hollywood Life.
The only one who still needs some convincing is Rob!
"Everyone is on board for this to happen except Rob, he still needs convincing. But most people involved in the talks think Kris will get her way and have him join the show," the source added.
We think this would be life changing for him!

Umm Gross. We get that couples like to spice things up -- but this is just plain weird.
For some ungodly reason Jason Biggs and his wife got hooker for the
American Pie actor's birthday -- and then decided to talk about it on national TV.
Biggs' wife Jenny Mollen appeared on
The View this week to promote her recently penned a memoir
I Like You Just the Way I Am, in which she describes a sexual encounter between the couple and a prostitute. There's a scene we have no desire to envision!
Guest host Candace Cameron Bure, who is a conservative Christian, didn't seem to find all the hooker talk amusing and criticized the part-time hooker lover on the show the next day. Defending his wife's honor (or is it dishonor?), Biggs took to the
View's couches on Thursday to explain their side of the story.
"We are very open people, we are real people. My wife is amazing," said the
Orange is the New Black star. "This is not a habitual thing on our part. We don't have a group of prostitutes who come in and out of our house on a regular basis."
"I didn't have a good time in the end," he admitted. "It took three ladies over the course of three different days. Let's just say I didn't complete the mission. My wife found the whole thing to be quite hysterical even while it was happening. She was actually on the bed, watching, eating a bag of chips, laughing, so as you can imagine, I wasn't really performing to the best of my abilities. Also, said prostitute wasn't engaging with my wife the way I hoped she would and so it all kind of fell apart, and the rest is in the book."
Umm that just sounds degrading if you ask us!

We're all for having pets, but snuggling up to a cat is a little different than sharing a bed with a snake ... er, right?
Willow Smith and her brother Jaden allow their pet snakes into their bedrooms, according to a source for
Us Weekly. "Willow is obsessed with snakes," an insider tells the mag, adding that she "has 10 sleeping in her room" and "some aren't in cages!" Jaden "cuddles" with them in bed, and he even refers to his sister's pets as his "girlfriends."
Willow got her first boa constrictor in 2008 when she was 7 years old, and last year her mom Jada Pinkett Smith chatted with
Redbook about how she finally caved in and let her daughter get a pet snake. "I've always loved snakes but was afraid of them," she said. "But Willow had wanted this one snake forever. She'd go into the pet store and pick it up and wrap it around her. I'd never touched a snake before, and I put out my hand, and Beauty [mimics the snake slithering up her arm]. I've been in love with her ever since. I said to Willow, 'You did Mommy a big favor. You helped me overcome a fear.'"
Well then! That doesn't seem so bad, right?

We never thought we'd see this sort of photo on Simon Cowell's Twitter, but here we are!
The other day the music mogul posted the above photo and wrote, "Bath Time!" and we can't see Simon's face, but we're sure he's just melting while looking at his adorable four-month-old son Eric.
Simon and girlfriend Lauren Silverman welcomed their little boy on Valentine's day this year, and just days after he was born, Simon posted some photos on Twitter and wrote, "Now you can see how very handsome little Eric is ... I never knew how much love and pride I would feel."
"I was born to be a dad," Simon gushed to his ex-girlfriend/pal Terri Seymour on
Extra back in March. "I actually said to Lauren beforehand, 'What if I like the dogs more than him?' and she said, 'You're gonna be absolutely fine,' and then literally within seconds of him being born, I got it!"

Sounds like he's really making some progress!
Following a frightening car crash that killed one of his fellow passengers and left him seriously injured, Tracy Morgan has been released from the hospital and is now recovering in a rehab center.
“
Tracy has been transferred to an undisclosed rehab center, where he is expected to remain for the next few weeks,” his rep said in a statement. “
While he is continuing to show signs of improvement, he still has a long way to go. He and Megan wanted to publicly express their deepest gratitude to everyone at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital for the unbelievable care and attention they provided him.”
On June 6 a Walmart truck slammed into a limousine carrying Morgan and his entourage, and the 30 Rock star suffered a broken leg, a broken femur, a broken nose and broken ribs in the collision. Morgan's comic mentor James McNair was killed in the crash and two other passengers, including Morgan's assistant, Jeffrey Millea, were seriously injured.
Kevin Roper, the driver of the Walmart big rig, pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide and assault by auto in New Brunswick, New Jersey on Wednesday. According to a complaint filed by New Jersey State Police, Roper was awake more than 24 hours before the accident occurred, and if convicted on all charges, he faces up to fifteen years in jail.

More like paws down, monsters!
Mother Monster Lady Gaga is in trouble yet again with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) after dressing up her dog Asia in heavy jewelry. Umm we don't think it's unethical treatment to dress up her dog in jewels -- but it definitely doesn't look comfortable! Apparently diamonds aren't every gal's best friend.
PETA said in a statement,
"Lady Gaga may choose to decorate herself with elaborate and even uncomfortable outfits, but Asia doesn’t get to make that choice.”
Hey Gaga, you can do what U want with your own body -- just not Asia's!
The statement continued,
“Although it seems pretty clear that Lady Gaga loves Asia, we think Asia—and all dogs—are adorable without all the added flair. The best accessory for any dog is a comfortable, secure, well-fitting harness, which is perfect for long walks together."
This isn't the first time Gaga has had PETA barking at her. In 2010 the organization went after her she wore the famous "meat dress," calling it "decomposing flesh." In 2012, they accused her of having "no heart" when she wore a fox head scarf.

They still got it!
A whopping 23 years after hitting the silver screen in
Thelma & Louise, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are showing the kids how it's done.
Along with the selfie-tastic pic, Sarandon tweeted, "Inventors of the #selfie at it again. #ThelmaAndLouise."
The 1991 blockbuster centered on Arkansas housewife Thelma (Davis) and waitress Louise (Sarandon) who head out for a two-day adventure in the midwest in their red hot '66 Thunderbird.
We love that after all these years, the duo is still striking poses together. If we learned one thing from seeing
Thelma & Louise -- it's don't mess with strong ladies -- or you're gonna get in trouble!
