Apparently Zac Efron dropped a condom and now it's major news. Probably cause it happened while he was walking the red carpet of a kiddies film. Now that's some good PR.

Speaking of the incident during a promotional interview with Matt Lauer, Zac said: "I never really had a pocket checking policy before going on the red carpet before, but now we've fully instated one." When Lauer responded "I think it's to your credit - better to be safe than sorry", Efron offered: "Yes. It's a great message to add to the many messages in the film." The Dr Seuss based animated film.

So that's that, an embarrassing moment spun into a safe sex message, with some mentions of the film thrown in... unless you write for the National Enquirer. They somehow reckon Zac was saving his rubber for Nicole Kidman: "'He thinks she's the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on," reveals a so-called 'insider,' adding, 'Zac said if Nicole wasn't married, he'd put the moves on her hard.' The Enquirer alleges that Efron's recent red carpet miscue was all part of a plan to 'impress' Kidman. Efron dropped the 'gold magnum condom - which is used by well-endowed men' because, as the magazine's source explains, 'He knew reports of the incident would get back to her. He wanted to let her know what kind of man he really is."

A "man" who thinks dropping a johnny on a red carpet (there's a dodgy joke in there somewhere, but we'll leave it off) in front of a load of children will turn on a mother twice his age?

Sorry, you're asking 'why Nicole Kidman?' Well, herself and Zac are co-starring in another movie in need of promoting, that being The Paperboy.
