It's great that Zac made the Forbes list even if it is "just a list." I feel it is a bigger accomplishment for him to be on it now than it would have been during his HSM heydays because it's a testament for his staying power and not being the hot new thing.

Also yeah for Amy & Stephanie being confident in Zac. Also loved Germain's tweet on that topic.

I don't find Dermot particularly memorable but I guess he's ok and the role isn't particularly big anyway. Absolutely agree about the enthusiasm for filming to start. Filming is always an awesome time.

"... it's a testament for his staying power"

Which is amazing. Poor Zac, after the HSM years, he thought the fan and paparazzi hysteria would fade away with time, he just had to be patient. It didn't happen, at least not yet. Let's watch the Dirty Grandpa shoot to see if Mirandagirll's hopes are fulfilled. I hope not, I want to see that Zac still has the power to drive fans wild. Does that make me a bad person? Yes, probably.

Keep it coming! I can read praise for Zac all day. It's good he was chosen for the Forbes list, but I don't like the fact that they see him as a "re-invented" comedy star; they ignore all his dramatic roles in the years between.

I needed this pick-me-up after learning overnight that J. Bieber is the new Calvin Klein spokesmodel. I think we all know who would have been a better choice. Zac promoted CK for years with his low-slung pants, which always revealed a CK waistband, and now this is his reward. (My imagined explanation is that they offered Zac the gig but he turned them down, thinking underwear ads might not be compatible with his career arc as a movie star.)

WTF??!!!! Is he blowing the CEO or something?

I can't see him doing underwear modeling anyway. For him it would be a step down, I think. For us, it would be the best thing to happen since Jesus Christ.

PS: I think we should send Justin Bieber to North Korea. Then we'd be even.

"WTF??!!!! Is he blowing the CEO or something?"

Maybe. But he does have a very good body for this kind of gig (except that the extensive tattooing masks his musculature in some areas).

I know I shouldn't want Zac to demean himself doing underwear ads, but I have already admitted that I am not always an entirely good person.

I have high hopes fans won't be unbearable in trying to stalk the set in Atlanta.

The average daily temperature in L.A. fell 10 degrees over the weekend, proof that Zac must have departed Saturday evening or Sunday morning and taken his hotness with him. Hopefully, Atlanta will now warm up.
