Earlier this week, Vanity Fair went after John McCain by mocking up an In Touch cover. We decided to return the favor...

Ok, we doubt this is true, but it'd be WAY hot if it were!

Reports are that Disney hottie Zac Efron has been approached to take over Daniel Radcliffe's role in the controversial Broadway play Equus.

Somehow, we don't think Zefron has what it takes to play the part.

Or does he?

Apparently, though, he's been offered the role. Whether he takes it is a different story!

During the premiere of High School Musical 3 in London, Zacquisha said, "You know that Daniel Radcliffe role on Broadway, well it's been mentioned.”

That, or he just mentioned it himself to get the role.

Smart boy!

Maybe Zac is just trying to shed his wholesome, Disney image?

He just finished filming the period drama Me and Orson Welles along with hasbeen Claire Danes.

But, it looks like Efron has hopes for bigger things. He truly wants to be a super star.

Says Zacquisha, "I would love to just sit down and talk with Leonardo DeCaprio and Johnny Depp and pick their brains about their early careers. They do it because they love it, not because they enjoy being famous. You have to have good foresight and be really careful. If you don't adapt and learn at a very young age, you can really mess up."

Leo's gone naked for a role before. You should do it too Zac!!!

Oh, the fuss!

BBC soap opera EastEnders featured two of its male characters engaged in a passionate lip lock on Tuesday.

Since then, the state supported net has supposedly been 'flooded' with complaints (an 'enormous' 145) for screening the gay kiss before 9pm.

Interesting note, this latest 'outrage' has hit 21 years AFTER EastEnders screened the first gay kiss in a British soap.

The BBC released the following statement about the outcry:

"We approach our portrayal of homosexual relationships in the same way as we do heterosexual relationships. We believe that the general tone and content of EastEnders is now widely recognised. Parents can make an informed decision as to whether they want their children to watch."

Yeah, parents!

Duh?

What kind of mom/dad finds soaps suitable for a kid?

Spotted: Shia LaDouche at Henry's Pub in San Diego on Thursday night, and being very rude to fans - several Perezcious Readers tell us.

Former Russian president/current self appointed prime minister Vladimir Putin was just presented with a rare Ussuri tiger cub for his birthday.

Vlad's a Libra!

The Ussuri tiger is also known as the Siberian, Amur or Manchurian tiger.

According to a report, fewer than 400 are believed to survive in the wild.

Putin refuses to say who gifted him with the cub.

That little darling isn't going to stay teeny tiny forever, so she'll eventually go to a zoo or a nice wildlife preserve, said Putin. She better!

You don't keep that kind of animal at your home, y'all.

The 2-month old female still hasn't been named by the P.M. He's supposedly leaning toward Mashenka or Milashka.

America or Georgia would make a good name for her too!

John Cusack should now be safe from his stalker.

Today, Friday, Emily Leatherman pleaded no contest to a felony count of stalking.

By accepting a plea deal, she avoided jail time. Instead, the tomato face received 5 years' probation and mandatory psychiatric counseling. She was also ordered to stay away from Cusack, his home, and business for the next ten years.

Leatherman was arrested in March outside of Cusacks's home.

In her statement, Leatherman claimed to have been the victim of sex crimes that only John Cusack could cure with a big boom box on her front lawn blasting Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes.

Cusack wasn't in court, but we're sure he would have been touched.

In a statement read by the prosection, Cusack said he had never met Leatherman, but hoped she received the help she needs.

We second that!

As we mentioned on Wednesday, things were looking pretty bad for Iceland when the U.K. threatened to sue the country over lost deposits held by 300,000 Brits in Icelandic banks.

Well, today, British treasury officials started to fly out to Reykjavik for emergency discussions now that U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown has declared diplomatic war on Iceland.

It seems that the collapse of three Icelandic banks is even greater than the $1 billion known to be at risk.

So, as of yesterday, Brown has launched an attack against Iceland for their 'illegal' refusal to pay back the billions it owes to British investors after their banks failed.

Brown used "anti-terrorism powers to freeze Icelandic assets as fears grew that vast sums of British cash could be lost."

Many private companies, charities, town halls, and more have lost about $27 billion in Iceland.

Many are fearing that Iceland is now pretty much a bankrupt state and owes their investors over $47 billion.

Brown said, "We are freezing the assets of Icelandic companies in the UK where we can. We will take further action against Icelandic authorities wherever necessary to recover the money. I don't apologise for it. This is a very unusual situation, where a country has effectively defaulted."

As for Iceland, its prime minister, Geir Haarde said he was disappointed with the lack of assistance he's received from Western countries.

Uhmm, hello! No one wants to be friends with a country that takes your money and won't return it. No one except for crazy Russia, which has even offered Iceland a $5 billion loan.

With times as bad as they are, we need to be careful where we put our money.
