Best of Summer 2010: 14 Gems from Celebs' Must Lists!

ZAC EFRON
The heartthrob actor, 22, stars in the drama Charlie St. Cloud (out July 30).

HIS MUST GADGET
''I am all about the iPad. There's something about the multi-touch interface. It is less cumbersome than a laptop, and I think it has cool games and apps. I am totally geeking out about it.''

ZAC EFRON'S MUST CONCERTS
''I went to the Coachella music festival, and I saw a lot of my favorite bands there, plus some I'd like to see again, like Muse. And Snoop Dogg is playing in one of my favorite places near my hometown, so I'll probably spend some time up in that direction.''

MINDY KALING
The Office star, 31, is in the animated movie Despicable Me (out July 9).

HER MUST BOOK
''Solar. Ian McEwan, baby: making me look smart when I pull him out on the subway, and also engrossing the s--- out of me.''

MINDY KALING'S MUST TV
''I've been excited about Louie since Louis C.K. killed it hard as Leslie's boyfriend on Parks and Recreation.''

MINDY KALING'S MUST TUNES
''I love the new LCD Soundsystem album, This Is Happening. I feel like I have cred whenever I'm running to it.''

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS
The actor, 37, just confirmed he'll appear in the third Harold & Kumar movie, out next year.

HIS MUST SPORTING EVENT
''The U.S. Open tennis tournament (Serena Williams, pictured). I played growing up. I'm not very adept at it. But it's fun to watch.''

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS' MUST BOOK
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. ''I have to finish the final Harry Potter book before the movie comes out. I've literally avoided spoilers for the past 18 months.''

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS' MUST ATTRACTION
''Disney's California Adventure has a water show called the World of Color. It blows those Bellagio fountain shows out of the water — so to speak.''

MICHAEL C. HALL
The star of Showtime's Dexter, 39, gives us his killer recommendations.

HIS MUST ALBUM
''Gorilla Manor, by Local Natives. They're a Los Angeles band. The landscape they create is really specific. It's nothing I can name — it's more of a visceral thing — but I really like their music.''

MICHAEL C. HALL'S MUST BOOK
''Chronic City [by Jonathan Lethem]. I'm not quite up-to-date! It's maybe a year old. But I just read it, and I really love that book.''

MICHAEL C. HALL'S MUST DESSERT
''Mint-chocolate-chip ice cream. And to satisfy my childhood appetites, it's always nice when it's green.''

SHAUN WHITE
The Olympic snowboarder, 23, will introduce a new skateboarding game this fall.

HIS MUST GADGET
''The iPhones are ridiculous. I can basically turn my Jacuzzi on from my phone. We are in the future.''

SHAUN WHITE'S MUST TUNES
''I love [defunct British metal revivalists] the Darkness. I like the lead singer's style. They don't care — it sounds good, like this guy is on another level.''

SHAUN WHITE'S MUST TV
''I just finished Lost. I am so confused. So confused. I'm sitting there losing my mind.''
