Vanessa Hudgens recently purchased a $3 million bachelorette pad, and boyfriend Zac Efron gave her an appropriately posh housewarming gift.

The High School Musical star, who will soon be filming a remake of Footloose, shelled out $50,000 for a vintage Louis Vuitton steamer trunk for his lady love, whom he’s been dating since 2006.

“Vanessa loves Louis Vuitton, but she wouldn’t spend the money for it,” an insider tells Star. So Zac splurged for his sweetie!

“To her,” says the source, “it is a piece of art.”

Oh my gosh, did I ever love Footloose!  I have watched it probably a hundred times… SO GOOD!  What do you think of Zac Efron starring in the remake?  (I think it’s perfect casting!)

After watching Zac Efron and director Kenny Ortega deliver a $42 million opening weekend for “High School Musical 3,” Paramount Pictures has fast-tracked “Footloose,” hoping to get the film ready for Efron and Ortega to start production next spring.

Unlike “HSM3,” “Footloose” will aim for an older teen and adult demo. Efron is just about set in a deal that will pay him a mid-seven-figure salary and give him script approval.

While Sollett rewrites the Hartmere script, the studio is working on new songs that will complement some of the memorable original tunes. Though the Herb Ross-directed film wasn’t a musical, screenwriter Dean Pitchford wrote lyrics for songs that included the Kenny Loggins title song as well as “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Almost Paradise” and “Holding Out for a Hero.” At least some of those tunes are expected to be in the new movie.

“Footloose” spawned one of the biggest-selling soundtracks of its era and made a star of Kevin Bacon.

Here’s a little trip down memory lane for you:

He’s reportedly signed up to work with Johnny and Keira…

Zac Efron will star in Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 and, according to reports, will bag $12 Million for the role.

Efron is one of Disney’s biggest stars through the High School Musical films and now it seems they want to keep him on.

The deal also secures the 21 year old for High School Musical 4- which he’d previously been reluctant to commit to.

Zac will now star alongside Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp in the next Pirates movie- which is likely to hit cinemas in 2010.

It’s currently unknown what role the HSM star will take in the series but we reckon he’d be great as Jack Sparrow’s younger brother!
