Michael Jackson has finally overcome his long-alleged obsession with prepubescent boys and immersed himself in a new-found love for twinky-twentysomething Zac Efron.

Disney’s “Troy Bolton” says he was “speechless” when the King of Pop called to congratulate him on his recent success in the High School Musical franchise. Apparently, M.J is a close friend of the films’ director Kenny Ortega.

“I’ve been wanting to talk to Michael Jackson my whole life, but as soon as Kenny handed me the phone, I was at a loss for words. I have never been so speechless,” Zac beamed.

“He said he loves High School Musical. It was motivation for us, and encouragement.”
