Vanessa who?

PHOTOS: Zac Gets Over Vanessa

Yes, Zac Efron's breakup with his High School Musical co-star (and new Candie's girl) Vanessa Hudgens must have hurt, but several gorgeous babes he held court with at a Melrose Avenue bar Wednesday seemed to be doing their best to soothe the wounds of love, and RadarOnline.com has all the photos for you.

Zac Efron has lost the mop top synonymous with his High School Musical days, as the handsome 23-year-old star was recently snapped sporting a military-style buzz-cut while filming The Lucky One in New Orleans. 

In the upcoming film, Zac plays a Marine returning home after a third tour of duty in Iraq.

Zac didn't go under the barber shears alone: Proving he's a class act, for every crew member that got a military cut with him, Zac pledged a donation in their honor toward Kingsley House, a New Orleans-based charity that helps children.

"He likes doing things for charity -- two Make-A-Wish kids came a visit to the set while he was there, and he felt like he wanted to do something for a New Orleans charity since he had such a nice time shooting there," his publicist Gina Hoffman told The Times-Picayune.

Meet the new Zac Efron: handsome, chiseled and teetering with emotion, the former Disney darling is breaking down and stripping off his shirt before you can say, “go wildcats!” As the hottie in Charlie St. Cloud, the young heartthrob isn’t afraid to cry on camera. Or sob, or throw things at the wall, or drink whiskey (!), or tear up again until the rest of us are crying too. Despite his pain, Charlie is all soft skin and smooth contours: he’s pretty, he’s deep, and yes, he’s ready to win you over no matter how cheesy his lines might be.

Movie Review : Dinner for Schmucks

Admittedly, Charlie has a lot to be sad about. He loses his adorable brother Sam (Charlie Tahan) in a car crash and gives up his own dreams of college, sailing and independence to stay close to the little guy’s grave. But Sam isn’t the only one who dies in the crash: Charlie flatlines, too -- but in a miraculous twist, is revived (don’t ask -- just believe). The experience leaves him with a unusual connection to the dead, plus a rep as the local nut-job.

Movie Review: Inception

As the years go by, Charlie’s pretty content in his small coastal town, where he still plays catch with Sammy every day at sunset (see above re: his unusual skill), and ignores the normal temptations of young adult life, from friends to women and mostly, fun. But when pretty sailor Tess (Amanda Crew) glides into the local harbor, she rocks Charlie’s insular little world -- and sparks an unexpected twist that hinges on Charlie’s unique talent. Their romance is indeed sweet (complete with mushy music, in case you aren’t sure), but the mix of shameless melodrama with supernatural skills is a lot to swallow.

Luckily, Efron is so buff that the heavy-handed cues (ready, set, sob!) are smoothed out with his increasing range as an actor and role as consistent eye candy for the tween set. Crew is quite a looker herself, but Efron’s waxed perfection steals every scene -- especially the more ludicrous moments, such as when he dives into ice-cold water in nothing but trousers and a funky swimming harness. But who needs a shirt with abs that good? Based on Ben Sherwood’s book, The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, the film is pure feel-good fare. Dipped in salty tears and sugary dialogue, big-screen adaptation is perfect for a little forced inspiration, and a really good cry.

Zac Efron looked hot and hunky at the premiere of his new film Charlie St. Cloud at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles Tuesday night, and RadarOnline.com has all the pics and video from the star-studded event for you.
