Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens: Just Friends... with Benefits!

No Strings Attached. It's not just a predictable Ashton Kutcher movie.

It's also the current status of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, according to a friend of the couple, who says rumors of the pair's reconciliation are premature.

“They are just friends with benefits and while something more is certainly possible, they are taking things slow,” the insider told Hollywood Life. “It’s obvious they still have strong feelings for each other and are continuing to hook up.”

This source cited "career demands and distance" as the basis of the break-up in December between Zac and Vanessa, but concluded by offering up hope to fans everywhere:

"I’d be shocked if they don’t get back together someday.”

Asher Roth + Nottz ? ?Rawth EP? ? @@@1/2 (Review)

It seems like its been years since MC's hooked up with one producer exclusively for their LP. Artists like Guru & Premier and Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth joined together, creating some of the best albums in hip-hop ever. But lately we've seen the trend reinvigorate itself, with team-ups like David Banner & 9th Wonder, Statik Selektah & Termanology, and Freeway & Jake One. Since Asher Roth arrived on the scene he?s worked on and off with Nottz, a producer who might just be one of the most underrated in the game. Having a resume that shows production for each Kanye West, Busta Rhymes, Drake, and M.O.P., his rep speaks for itself, so if he's producing for Asher, we're listening. [cont.] Related posts:

UK 'Skins' Not As Controversial As In U.S.

Company Pictures, the Brit production company which makes Skins for MTV, is ?extremely surprised? by the show?s U.S. furor. Especially as the raunchier Brit version aired on BBC America virtually without controversy and has just started its 5th season. The UK original has also been freely available on the Internet. Execs has been scratching their heads because the first U.S. episode of Skins�was almost a shot-for-shot remake of the UK original�-- but with the bad language and drugs references toned down from the British version which was far stronger in its depiction of drugs, sex, abortion, and self-harm. The show has never been that controversial here.�A psychiatric charity complained about the depiction of a counsellor beating one teenager to death with a baseball bat. But Channel 4 only received 11 complaints.�Not the show itself but the promos for the show have caused a little consternation. The UK broadcaster�showed a pub brawl in a promo that sparked criticism.�And�the advertising watchdog Advertising Standards Authority banned a poster promoting the show, showing teenagers taking part in an orgy. The ASA said the image "could cause serious or widespread offence" and shouldn't be seen by children. The UK version's insiders point out that�that child pornography laws are just as strict over here as they are in the U.S. So the show was not allowed to show nudity or simulated sex with under 18-year-olds.�And, as in the U.S. version, the nudity is ...

The 22-yer old Kentucky native is a farmer who was adopted by white parents at the age of two. She hit every note on Lady Antebellum's "American Honey" during her allotted time in front of the judges, prompting Steven Tyler to say he almost cried. Check out the performance now:
