Zac Efron Latest

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron are a match made in Disney heaven, but when it comes to marriage and kids, Vanessa isn't holding her breathe.

The couple, who have been dating for three years, met on the set of High School Musical and have been the subject of tabloids for years.

But Vanessa insists she doesn't want to be like other starlets her age, and is completely focused just on her career.

She tells People magazine: "I think marriage and starting a family is great, but I'm so focused on my career right now that it doesn't really cross my mind."

She's also eager to step away from teeny bopper movies and do something a little edgier. She added, "The fact that kids look up to me is flattering. But at the end of the day, I want to do R-rated films, and I want to do things that are a bit edgier, so maybe some kids can't see some of them.

"I just think it's really important to try different things. I think a lot of people get stuck doing the same routine, and I'm just not content with that. I love trying new things and doing new hobbies and just exploring life."

She wants to do R-Rated films? She already has R-Rated photos of her all over the internet and that didn't exactly do wonders for her image, so maybe she needs to stick to Disney for a few more years. You're lucky you have a job girl, look at Lindsay!
