"He's a perfect human being."

For those of you living under a rock, High School Musical 3 comes out today (for good measure, so does Changeling). We love Disney. Heck, the place signs our checks. As a result, we had to honor its perfect star Zac Efron (a video editor working here once told us, "He literally looks like the perfect human being") for this week's edition of "The Week That Was." Bear with us: who would have thought in April that the Rays would take down the Red Sox in Game 7 of the ALCS? That the City of Brotherly Love could possibly end that 25-year championship drought? That the Rays could go from worst to first in a season? That Jimmie Johnson would still be this good? That Colt McCoy would be front-running for the Heisman? No dream is too far-fetched, like Zac's dream of a world in which a singing, dancing, hooping 21 year-old can become one of America's biggest stars.
