Courteney Cox know who the perfect prey for her new series, Cougar Town would be — Zac Efron!

The former Friends star dished to ET, saying, “Zac Efron would be perfect, but Zac probably has too much confidence to be real prey for a cougar. You know you’re a cougar when you’re attracted to your son’s friends. You know you’re a cougar when you’re attracted to your daughter’s — who’s five — idols, which is where I come in.”

Zac has already worked with Courteney’s former costar and on-screen husband, Matthew Perry, in 17 Again.

Cougar Town premieres TONIGHT, September 23 @ 9:30PM ET/PT on ABC.

Zac Efron keeps his eyes shut tight after sharing a kiss with leading lady Claire Danes in the official UK trailer for their upcoming flick, Me & Orson Welles.

The drama centers on a teenager (Efron) who is cast in the Mercury Theatre production of “Julius Ceasar” directed by a young Orson Welles (Christian McKay) in 1937.

The Guardian says of the flick, “Newcomer Christian McKay makes a magnificent Orson, but it’s Efron who really impresses: showing a depth and charm you’d never have dreamed of. He’s not afraid to look petulant and silly, and does, frequently. That said, there are moments in which you can’t help but think: Efron should really, at some point, play a killer.”

Gossip guy Ed Westwick is determined to rival Zac Efron in not only the heartthrob arena, but also the body arena.

A source close to the 22-year-old British-born actor tells Life & Style mag, “After seeing new pics of Zac in magazines, Ed’s determined to get cut like him. Ed has no muscles or definition and really wants to improve his body.”

Ed’s workout routine has changed a bit too. Word has it that his personal trainer is working more weights into his training. He also shared that he might want to make the big move to the Big Apple soon, saying, “You don’t really have to leave your apartment for anything. You can have it in the click of your fingers, which can make one lazy.”

Who wouldn’t want to look like Zac?

Zac Efron slurps on a cool drink as he continues to film The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud in Vancouver on Tuesday afternoon (September 8).

The 21-year-old actor, dressed in his trademark beanie, has been constantly working on the movie for a few months. Academy Award winner Kim Basinger has been tapped to play Zac’s mom in the drama.

Zac recently dished to MTV about his decision to take this role of Charlie. He shared, “I’m not doing anything to drastically to try and change up my image. But I do need to keep things interesting for myself. And grow up. … I still make very family-friendly films. I’m not involved with the next ‘Trainspotting’ sequel or anything like that.”

Megan Fox loves to tease Zac Efron — she even says so in the September/October issue of Wonderland magazine.

The 23-year-old Transformers hottie had picked up a copy of Interview Magazine (with Zac on the cover) and teased Zac by saying, “He’s beautiful. He’s the next Elizabeth Taylor. I’m just kidding. I just like to make fun of him. I know Zac. He knows that I make fun of him out of love. Everything I say in interviews I say to his face in person. I try it on him and get his reaction and then I say it publicly.”

Megan continued, “I just came up with that, but I’ll tell him that in the future. This picture made me think of it. It was like [her perfume ad for] White Diamonds.”
