Since our talented colleagues broke the news last week that Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens had called it quits, we have learned that Kellan Lutz isn't the only person Zac has been palling around with in New Orleans.

A production source tell E! News that Efron, 23, has grown "chummy" with his The Lucky One costar Taylor Schilling.

Remember, sources insist there was no third party involved in Zanessa's split, and they are sticking to it.

What we're hearing is that Zac has been leaning on good friend Taylor, 26, during this hard time.

"They joke around, eat together sometimes, run lines," says our insider, who insists, however, that the relaysh has not yet turned romantic. Or, as the source puts it, "Nothing out of the ordinary."

Everything above certainly is not out of the ordinary for costars, but just sayin' we've seen where this "good friends" path has led many before.

As for how Efron is spending his nights? Seems Zac is mingling with "the Twilight guys" and has become good buds with Kellan's crew.

"They are a rowdy bunch, and I think that's influenced him to want to be free," adds our on set insider.

Speaking of rowdy, Miley Cyrus is also in town filming!

Is it just us, or are you all predicting she may try her luck at wooing Efron?

(If she hasn't already.)
