Squeaky-clean heartthrob Zac Efron and two of his pals spent more than $2,000 on lap dancers and vodka at a top New York strip club.
The Disney-produced "High School Musical" prodigy showed up at Flashdancers Gentlemen's Club on Broadway on Sunday night and stayed until 3 a.m., just hours before the New York premiere of his new family-friendly flick, "Charlie St. Cloud."
Efron, 22, with another male friend and his former "High School Musical" castmate Corbin Bleu, 21, took a shine to three pretty brunette dancers, showering them with cash and requests for personal dances, spies said.
A spy told us, "Zac came in Sunday night around midnight with Corbin and one other male friend, who paid for everything. They were seated in the VIP lounge behind the main stage. There was only a rail between them and the girls who were dancing.
"They ordered one bottle of Belvedere vodka and were enthralled with the dancers. They were interacting a lot with the girls and reaching out and showering money on them. There were three girls who Zac and his friends particularly liked and they asked to do personal dances at their table."
Our witness continued, "The girls were all slim pretty brunettes, a bit like Zac's girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens. They were two Americans, called Shannon and Brandi, and a gorgeous Brazilian called Raquel.
"Zac and the boys had a great time and left around 3 a.m. Monday morning."
That night, Efron walked the red carpet at the premiere of "Charlie St. Cloud." Hudgens was not at his side, although she attended the LA screening last week.
A rep for Flashdancers confirmed Efron and Bleu were there but declined to comment further. Efron's rep was on a plane and unavailable for comment. A rep for Bleu, currently starring in Broadway's "In the Heights," didn't get back to us.

United States president Barack Obama has hit out at BP's chief executive as oil continues to leak from a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP's CEO Tony Hayward has been criticised for once predicting the oil spill would be modest and for lamenting that he wanted his life back as the clean-up drags on.
President Obama says he would have sacked the BP boss for those sorts of statements, but he has also revealed he has never personally spoken to Mr Hayward.
As Obama Tuesday sought to contain further political damage over the greatest environmental calamity in US history, his top disaster aide reported more progress capturing oil spewing from a ruptured undersea well.
Hayward, whose sardonic English tones and comments, including a prediction that the Gulf spill would be "very, very modest," have irked some Americans, found himself directly in Obama's cross-hairs.
"He wouldn't be working for me after making any of those statements," Obama said on the NBC "Today Show," after being criticized for what pundits said was a too tepid reaction to the disaster.
Hayward has since apologized for his remarks.
Obama revealed he had not spoken to Hayward, since an explosion on the BP-operated Deepwater Horizon rig on April 20, saying there would be little point.
"When you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he's going to say all the right things to me. I'm not interested in words. I'm interested in actions."
National incident coordinator Admiral Thad Allen however says he frequently speaks to the BP chief, seeking information, or ordering specific steps in the disaster mitigation effort.
Hayward can expect another tough ride next week: a key House of Representatives panel Tuesday said he would testify on the disaster on June 17.
Obama, who made the latest of his three trips to the disaster zone last week, insisted he had no time for playing politics -- though his comments seem to be taking on an increasingly political cast.
He told NBC he was looking for some "ass to kick" as recriminations mount and oil reaps a dreadful toll on seabirds, Louisiana wetlands, teeming fishing grounds and idyllic beaches.
He rejected claims he had been too cool, or slow in his response.
"I'm going to push back hard on this because I think that this is an idea that got into folks' heads and the media is running with it.
"I was down there a month ago, before most of these talking heads were even paying attention to the Gulf," he said.
The undersea effort to capture spewing oil is accelerating.
Allen said BP engineers had captured 14,842 barrels of oil over the last 24 hours from a containment cap placed over the well that blew on April 20, a significant increase from Monday's tally.
It remains unclear how much oil is spewing out of the busted wellhead, and officials have warned they will not be able to syphon off all of the excess crude until relief wells are dug -- likely not until August.
"We've gone from about 6,000 barrels up to almost 15,000," Allen said.
Upper government estimates of the volume of escaping oil hit 25,000 barrels per day -- but some private studies have hit a higher figure.
Underwater video footage of the wellhead, and the containment cap installed by BP last week, still appeared to show substantial oil escaping into the sea.
There was also sobering news on the scope of the environmental damage, as scientists said that they had found evidence of an undersea oil plume at a size of 3,300 feet more than 40 miles from the disaster site.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said it had "fingerprinted" the oil to confirm it came from the BP well, though said the residue was currently at "low concentrations."
BP had previously said oil plumes, which could pose deep threats to marine life, had not been discovered.
Commentators have drawn parallels between Obama's handling of the slick, and his predecessor George W. Bush's botched management of Hurricane Katrina that devastated the same coastline in 2005.
Political warning signs over the disaster are proliferating.
A recent CBS News poll showed only thirty-eight percent of Americans approve of the way the administration is dealing with the spill.
A Washington Post/ABC survey revealed more Americans disapprove of Obama's response to the oil spill than disapprove of Bush's Katrina performance.
But the CBS poll also showed that 68 percent disapprove of BP's response, giving an insight in the administration's motivation for attacking the energy giant, given that political blame always seeks a resting place.
DeGeneres, who joined "American Idol" in January, will announce on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Wednesday that she is starting a record label -- eleveneleven -- and signing up 12-year-old YouTube sensation Greyson Chance as her first artist.

He was invited to appear on the DeGeneres' show on May 13, sparking huge interest in his video which has now been viewed over 20 million times.
Chance has also posted two original compositions on YouTube -- "Stars" and "Broken Hearts."
"Greyson ... inspired me to start a record label called eleveneleven. He is my first artist and we are making a record together," DeGeneres said in a statement released on Tuesday.
DeGeneres said she will continue to use her show as a platform to find new artists, whom she will sign to eleveneleven. The record label is being set up in collaboration with Telepictures Productions.

Diamond was a cast member of the fifth season of Celebrity Fit Club, during which his personality, his refusal to alter his dieting habits, his reliance on diet pills, his tendency to quit in the middle of physical challenges, and his antagonism toward his castmates caused much conflict. He particularly came into conflict with former American Idol finalist Kimberley Locke, country singer Cledus T. Judd, rapper Da Brat, and trainer Sgt. Harvey Walden IV. At one point during the season, he apparently quit the show, but later returned. Despite his insistence that he had achieved a peaceful state of mind, he continued to sequester himself from enthused participation in group events, refused to offer encouragement to his teammates during weigh-ins, and responded to criticism from the show's judges by claiming that he was being unfairly targeted. Tensions between Diamond and the rest of the celebrities culminated in an open confrontation between himself and Harvey Walden resulting in a comment referencing "physical combat," which Walden interpreted to be a challenge.[3] Diamond started on the show weighing 217 pounds and ended with a 30 pound loss.[citation needed]
Diamond returned for the sixth season Boot Camp edition of the show, joining a team of "second chancers" that includes Toccara Jones, Tina Yothers, and Willie Aames; he gained 30 pounds back to his starting weight at 217 pounds. Diamond appeared to be trying to follow the show's program, in a marked contrast to his behavior during the previous season, and was named team captain. However, the judges remained skeptical regarding him. Sgt. Walden openly questioned the decision to name him captain (saying Yothers should have been his choice) and another judge said that she was "waiting for the other shoe to drop" regarding his behavior.[citation needed] When Diamond didn't show up for a day of work, claiming he was stranded at an airport by bad weather, Walden "fired" him as team captain and named Jones the new leader. While Diamond and Walden clashed again the following week when Walden called Diamond a "Nazi",[citation needed] Diamond ultimately stayed and held his own for the second chancers. Later in the season he and Tina Yothers were traded to the Newbie team. Diamond lost 23 pounds on the show, for an ending weight of 194 lbs.[citation needed] His team won the grand prize.

On November 13, 2006, Diamond's sex tape Screeched, aka Saved by the Smell, was released by Red Light District. It features a bride-to-be, Summer Price, her bridesmaid, and Diamond all engaging in various sexual acts. According to Diamond, the tape got out because he and some friends allegedly exchange such tapes and he believed that the tape was not leaked by any of those people, but that it may have been the significant other of one of them.[15] Diamond's manager acknowledged there was hope that the tape would raise his client's profile.[16]
Those hoping Rihanna would completely sever ties from Chris Brown will have to wait a bit longer.
Less than three weeks after the alleged assault, the “Disturbia” singer and her (former?) beau have reunited. According to a source for People magazine, the two (along with one of Jay-Z’s bodyguards) are currently spending time together at one of Sean Combs’ homes on Miami Beach’s Star Island. (A relaxed Brown was recently snapped jet skiing in the area.)
Read More “They’re together again.
They care for each other,” the insider claimed. “While Chris is
reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be
with the woman he loves.” Although Rihanna spent part of her birthday crafting a statement for the media, she also found time to take a call from Chris. “He called to wish her happy birthday,” a source told People. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.” So how does Ronald Fenty feel about this surprise reunion? Despite previously wishing
his daughter would “move on,” Ronald now claims he will stand by the
21-year-old’s decisions. “Whatever road she chooses, I’m behind her,”
Fenty stated. “We are a family who stick together even though we are apart.”
