Arghh! No Zac For “Pirates”—Yet

Reports of dreamboat Zac Efron taking over Orlando Bloom’s role in the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” film have proved to be, alas, premature. Zac was on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show today to promote “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” when he told the host, “Honestly, at this time it’s just a rumor.” He added, “I wish I was going to be in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4,’ so hopefully that will happen for me.” Given that he’s the hottest teen heartthrob around these days, and both “HSM” and “Pirates” are Disney franchises, it just might.
