Vanessa Hudgens Is Ready To Move On

Just because you start out as a Disney star doesn’t mean you have to be one for the rest of your life. Like Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens also has plans to venture out. Even though Bandslam was another high school movie for the young star she has no desire to let herself get type casted into any specific role.

"I love High School Musical," the actress told MTV News while promoting Bandslam “But I feel like I've moved on. And I'm doing different things and growing up. Honestly, I just kind of do things I feel passionate about,"

What might she be passionate about? Something I’m sure you’ll never guess. She’s always “wanted to do action. That was my biggest go-to when I wanted to play the sexy girl was to be in an action film, and I get to do that in Sucker Punch, and I'm so excited."

Hopefully Sucker Punch will do better in theaters, better than how Bandslam has done so far.

Vanessa Hudgens Goes On The Offensive

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens has said she has had enough with everyone posting her nude photos on the Internet. She now has lawyers attacking any site that posts naked or semi-nude photos.

However it seems Vanessa may be one of those celebrities that either has to learn things the hard way or actually wants the attention because she's now had photos leaked twice. The photos display her taking naked self portraits on her bedroom in what appear poorly executed but hi resolution. At least one photo displays her completely naked from head to toe. The first round hit the web in 2007 and a source close to Hudgen's said, "She learned her lesson. She hasn't done anything like that since the first ones came out. These new ones are actually old."

While sources claim the old photos are from a camera phone, some photos are from beyond arms distance. One has to speculate if they are in fact all old photos or not. The two above in split screen are cropped but are full body photos and you can see they are not taken from arms length.

So far Perez Hilton has been warned by her lawyers after he posted semi-nude photos of Hudgens.

As for the new photos, Hudgens; most are full body shot exposing only her breasts. One is facebook style in front of a body length mirror while others show her wearing gold chain link panties.

HSM Stars In Paris, France

High School Musical teen stars have been busy promoting their new installment around the world lately. Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron (everyone's favorite guilty pleasure couple) met up with co-star and friend Ashley Tisdale in Paris, France. The couple was previously in Sweden doing some press for High School Musical 3. The Disney stars are set to travel to Spain, Germany and England before heading back to the States.

We're sure when High School Musical 3: Senior Year opens in theaters at the end of October here in The States, it will be a pretty big monster at the box office. The public just can't get enough from the singing and dancing stars in the flicks! What's your favorite HSM song? I'm partial to the cute little duets between Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriela (Vanessa Hudgens). Ha!

Vanessa Hudgens Getting Sued For $5 Million

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens, 19, is being sued by producer Johnny Vieira for more than $5 million and punitive damages. He is claiming the actress and her father have repeatedly violated a contract and failed to pay him his share of her earnings. The girl needs to pay up!

In May 2005, Vieira claims he and Vanessa entered into an agreement to launch Vanessa’s career and “share equally” in advances, royalties and merchandising from Hudgens' career. Now, after High School Musical became a major hit, he says she dropped him and owes him $2 million. Ouch! Hudgens was sued last year by a lawyer who claimed she owed him $150,000. That is totally not cool, Vanessa. She's making enough money that she shouldn't be involved in all this!

High School Musical 3 Posters Released

Vanessa Hudgens Opens Up

In the latest issue of Seventeen magazine, Vanessa Hudgens is opening up for the first time and speaking about the nude photos that surfaced on the Internet of her last September.

"It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened," she tells February's Seventeen. "I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions."

She says her manager first informed her the shots were leaked. "We heard some story was going to break in the tabloids, and I was like, 'What?!?' A few days later, the picture came out while I was on vacation in Australia," she says.

Hudgens says she learned a valuable lesson: "It’s very unfortunate because with the Internet these days, you don’t have a personal life. Nothing is private: Everyone knows everything, and they can find out everything about you... you have to be aware of the people you’re around."

Daddy Embarasses Vanessa Hudgens

You thought your Dad was embarrassing? Think again! High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens was leaving a Hollywood gym with her dad, Greg, when a pack of photographers relentlessly began snapping pictures of them.

Hudgens, 18, didn’t seem to mind, but big papa was none too thrilled.
