Disney Teen Superstar Miley Cyrus, 17, has admitted on Sirius XM’s “The Morning Mash Up!” that she “really, really liked” High School Musical star Zac Efron, 22.

“I think Zac Efron is the hottest person in the world. I really, really like him,” Miley raved. But the teen superstar doesn’t have any plans of stealing Zac Efron from his current girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens.

“Zac could get any girl…and do whatever, and he is so loyal and a really good friend…He’s just like super good looking,” Miley added.

“I can neither confirm nor deny,” Miley answered when asked to comment about rumors that she dated her “The Last Song” co-star Liam Hemsworth.

Miley, there’s so many fishes in the sea!

Vanessa Hudgens’ “Bandslam” co-stars are sick of the negativity aimed at the star following her recent nude photo scandal – insisting she gets bullied because she is dating heart-throb Zac Efron.

The young actress was left shame-faced again this month after pictures—allegedly showing the star posing topless—were leaked on the internet.

She faced further humiliation at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 9, 2009, when comic Dane Cook took the stage and told the whole audience that Hudgens needed to “keep” her clothes on.

Despite fans booing the funnyman at the event in support of the star, online forums have been buzzing with teenage critics of Hudgens’ antics. And her co-stars in latest movie “Bandslam” are tired of seeing their pal slated online—insisting she is a “sweet girl” who has done nothing wrong.

Actor Charlie Saxton says, “It’s so totally uncool. It’s like, come on. Give me a break.

“She’s such a sweet person, such a nice girl. She really doesn’t deserve all the negativity that she’s getting.”

And fellow actress Aly Michalka believes the negative comments stem from jealousy about her relationship with hunk Efron.

She explains, “I think that it’s about people being hard on people just to be hard on them. It’s hard to avoid that sometimes… I think it really is based on that and I think maybe her being with Zac (Efron).”

Hudgens faced a similar scandal in 2007 when pictures of her posing provocatively both nude and in lingerie appeared online – forcing the Disney star to issue a public apology.

The vampire romance hit “Twilight” received the most number of nominations for this Teen Choice Awards, which aired August 10, 2009 on FOX. Also this year, “Twilight” topped the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.

High School Musical star Zac Efron has reportedly turned down the offer to be part of Paramount’s remake of “Footloose” that is expected to be released in 2010. The actor is currently eyeing a role in the film adaptation of the novel “The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud.”

Variety reports that production of the said film adaptation would take place in July. Ben Sherwood, former executive producer of “Good Morning America” wrote the book about a cemetery caretaker who communicates with his dead brother, whose death he thinks he had caused. The film adaptation would be directed by “17 Again” director Burr Steers.

Paramount Pictures has released a statement on Monday regarding Efron’s decision to drop out of the film.

“Footloose is a project we’ve longed to see re-booted for a new generation. While Zac is no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of Kenny Ortega, Neil Meron and Craig Zaden, who will reinvigorate the franchise,” said a Paramount representative.

“17 Again,” Zac Efron and director Burr Steers’ collaboration would be released by New Line/Warner Bros. on April 17 (in the US). – With reports from Variety, Us Magazine and Entertainment Weekly
