Some celebs choose to keep their private lives private. Others choose to talk about their private life and their private parts. Remember when John Mayer discussed his sexual exploits? The only problem is, his women were usually famous and hot. Way to get blacklisted from celebrity sex, Mayer.

Less candid celebs sometimes just feel like sharing. Usually, it's in the presence of Howard Stern, the king of extracting celebrity sex secrets. And we love hearing all of them. If anything, it makes the rest of us feel a little more normal for having sex in the bathroom during a Blue Man Group show. Uh, I mean…here are the shocking celebrity sex secrets of some high-profile stars.

Zac Efron: His mom buys him condoms. Lots of condoms. Eeeeeeeewwwww. Zac says his mom saw pictures of him and Vanessa Hudgens in a sex store, and then she stuffed his Christmas stocking with condoms. "She buys me the economy box," Efron confessed.

Nicole Kidman has been filming a movie with Zac Efron, and the actress looks so good, she could be replacing Vanessa Hudgens in High School Musical 3.

Imagine a life in which waiting in line at the grocery store entails looking at a magazine with your own face on it above a ridiculous caption. Celebrities might have it easy in some areas, but having to call friends and family members and convince them you are not dead—that can’t be fun.

Of course, these rumors run rampant because some of them are true, despite celebs trying to fend them off. We once asked Julianne Hough if she was dating Ryan Seacrest, and she told us: “I heard that too, it’s pretty funny.”

That’s not exactly a no, but she was definitely trying to bounce the accusation, and look how that one turned out. Here are 10 celebrities and the crazy rumors they’ve heard about themselves.

Jesse James: Jesse James told Hollyscoop the most bizarre rumor he heard about himself: “That I was dead.”

The self-deprecating motorcycle mogul added, “People like rumors that I got killed.”

Nope, just some totally innocent dry humping. At her 26th birthday party, Ashley Tisdale and High School Musical costar Zac Efron were photographed looking a little bit more than just friends. Or, as Tisdale has claimed, siblings.

Efron split with Ashley’s close friend, Vanessa Hudgens, in December of last year after the couple dated for four years. Incidentally...
Keep your eye out, Academy. Taylor Swift is in the movies!

Swift will star in the next Dr. Suess-based film, and no, despite an outstanding resemblance, she will not be playing that thing from Green Eggs and Ham.

The movie, produced by Universal pictures, is a 3-D animated film rendition of The Lorax. If you’ll remember, The Lorax is an environmentally cautious tale starring a small, weird, Danny DeVito-looking creature.

Coincidentally, DeVito will be playing the Lorax. Zac Efron will voice Ted, the boy who is seeking out the Lorax, and the film will also feature Ed Helms and Betty White.

And if you think Swift is a rube, let me remind you of a little film called—ahem—Hannah Montana: The Movie. Ever heard of it? So yeah. She’s basically Meryl Streep.
Winning the award for weirdest love-triangle ever, Vanessa Hudgens discloses that her and Zac Efron are trying to “figure things out” and that she likes being hit on by 77 year-old actor Michael Caine.

What’s there to figure out? Michael Caine made Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, a comedy classic, and Children of Men, a thought-provoking film with amazing cinematography. Efron sang “Get’cha Head in the Game”.

Hudgens is currently filming Journey to the Center of the Earth with Caine.

"Throughout this whole movie we're trudging through the jungle," Hudgens says. "So, of course, we're sweating. I can't tell you how much time is spent putting oil on my chest. And Evian. Spraying Evian bottles on my chest and my arms and my forehead, but mostly my chest...But Michael's always telling the makeup artists that he'll take over and do it."

I know it might seem weird now because he’s 77 and she’s only 22, but when Hudgens is 77, Caine will be 132. You just have to look at things in perspective. As for her relationship with Efron, Hudgens says they’re still friends, although the two were caught making out last January.

One can only hope this news climaxes with a no holds barred, fist-flying brawl between Zac Efron and Michael Caine. I’d pay good money to see that.
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have been swapping spit all over the country since they announced their split--so are they officially back on?

He's been visiting her on set, they've been dirty dancing at clubs and can't seem to keep their hands off each other. But both parties refuse to commit on the status of their relationship. So what's the deal?

Zac and Vanessa Caught Sucking Face

“They are just friends with benefits and while something more is certainly possible, they are taking things slow,” an insider told Hollywood Life.

The insider added, “It’s obvious they still have strong feelings for each other and are continuing to hook up.”

They're both young, hot, rich and successful so why commit to each other when they can both play the field?
If Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are still broken up, they've become great at being friends with benefits.

Z and V were spotted sucking face this past weekend in North Carolina when he visited her on the set of her new movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

They were also spotted at a restaurant in Wilmington two nights in a row, before heading back to their hotel, where they shared a room.

It's pretty obvious you guys are back on so maybe stop teasing us and just confirm the reconciliation already!
Are Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron friends with benefits or are they giving their relationship another go?

Whatever the case is, they definitely looked like they were more than just friends when they were spotted making out while at L.A.'s newest club, Club Eden, on Friday night.

"The two showed up around 10:45 p.m. through the back entrance with a group of friends and were holding hands at different points throughout the night," a source tells Us Weekly.

"They were kissing on the lips and seemed to be enjoying their night," says the source. Adds another eyewitness: "They seem to be back together."

At one point Vanessa saw a random partier try to snap a photo of them making out and she quickly pushed Zac away. Why are you guys teasing us like that?! I can see these two definitely just being friends with benefits, but than again, it can't be easy walking away from a four year relationship with no feelings.
