Gossip Queen from London

High School Musical star Zac Efron was attacked by a deranged fan as he left a west end theatre with girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens this week.   The man, thought to be in his 40s (yep you read right, a middle aged man is stalking a 20 year old) reached towards Zac and grabbed the side of his head. He then began shouting various things at Zac before the security team managed to pull Zac into a car.  Zac was understandably shaken up, but in comparison to this lot he got off lightly.
