Zac Efron's a Hero in Real Life

This is such a crazy, CRAZY situation.

We told you this morning how Zac Efron was involved in an attack with several transients in a not-so-nice part of El Lay that's known for drugs and gangs.

But now we're hearing from the bodyguard involved that Zac was actually a hero during the scary moment.

The bodyguard is reporting that they were going to a restaurant in Little Tokyo when they suddenly ran out of gas. That's when the alleged bottle throwing incident occurred to spur on the attack from the transients.

However, the bodyguard is claiming the attack started when the strangers randomly came after him with something similar to a spear or shank. The man was allegedly stabbed in the stomach, face, and chest.

And then THAT is when Zac apparently got out of the car and started swinging a vodka bottle to fend off the attack. From what we hear from the bodyguard, it worked!

But, we must advise, take this all with a grain of salt because we're also hearing that this "bodyguard" has a criminal record for drugs and violence.

Not to mention, what was Zac doing with a vodka bottle in his car in the first place??

We're glad Zac is safe, but this isn't looking too good for his recovery.

We sincerely hope he can get back on track and keep dangerous people out of his life!

Alexis Bellino Explains Tamra Barney Fight

Alexis Bellino of The Real Housewives of Orange County is speaking out about her beef with Tamra Barney and her return to the Bravo show after supposedly quitting.As loyal watchers know, an intimate dinner at Barney's new fitness studio immediately devolved into mass chaos, with the co-stars in the middle of it.

Tamra forcibly removed Alexis from the premises, telling her the "get the f--- out," leaving Bellino friends Vicki Gunvalson and Lydia Stirling-McLaughlin stunned.

"I definitely regret going to Tamra's party," Bellino said. "Who wouldn't?!?"

Reluctantly accepting pal Gunvalson's invite, "I went with pure intentions, with the hopes that everyone was ready to move on ... I just went in open minded."

"And I got the door shut in my face. Which is okay!"

Indeed, after an intense seventh season, Bellino seriously considered walking away forever from the show. "I really did quit," she admits to Us Weekly.

With things reaching a breaking point during a trip to Costa Rica, "I had a rough year last season," she says. "I was just really down and in a sad place."

What changed her mind? Her kids, she says. She did it for her kids.

"I wanted to show them their mom's a fighter," Bellino explains.
