How hot is this summer? Just look at the latest Hot Celebrity Searches on AOL: Zac Efron, David Beckham, Jessica Biel ... you get the point.

Did you know that Zac Efron almost didn't make the cut for a role in 'Hairspray?' Neither did I. I haven't seen 'Hairspray' yet, but he seems like he's the right fit for that role. He sings, he dances, he's cute and he's already got a fan base with the hit TV series 'High School Musical.' What could go wrong?

Apparently, 'Hairspray' director/choreographer Adam Shankman thought that Efron was "too light" and that he's a "sweet, goofy kid" according to USA Today. Well, good thing Shankman gave Efron a chance ... I'm sure a lot of teenage girls ran to the movie theaters to see Efron in his first big screen role. Released on Friday, 'Hairpsray' grossed at $27.8 million this past weekend according to Box Office Mojo. That's just third behind 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry' and 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' for the weekend gross. Not bad in my opinion!

Another hot celeb who got a lot of attention this weekend was David Beckham. Beckham had his MLS debut where he played for 16 minutes and 19 seconds. Let's hope that he'll play more considering he has a $6.5 million contract.

There's no doubt that he's a star off the field -- the man is hot, even for me who prefers brunettes to blondes. However, there have been some debates if his playing in the MLS will make Americans more interested in soccer. Well, the Galaxy vs. Chelsea game was sold out. That's always a good sign.

His debut also drew a crowd of celebrities to the game. His wive, Victoria Beckham, was there of course with gal pal Katie Holmes and daughter Suri. Also there were Jennifer Love Hewitt, Drew Carey, Eva Longoria and the Governator. OK, with all of this attention from celebrities, maybe Americans will start watching soccer. It's about time we fall in love with this global sport!
