Vanessa Hudgens says The Mysterious Island was beautiful but challenging

2012-01-30T19:55:00.000-08:00

January 30, 2012 - HONOLULU - The tropical Hawaiian setting of the Kahala Hotel and Resort seems to suit dark-haired beauty Vanessa Hudgens.

The former High School Musical star looks right at home in a suite at the secluded vacation spot, which is surrounded by palm trees, sandy beaches and a deep-blue ocean.

She's made herself available to discuss the 3-D fantasy adventure, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, which opens Feb. 10.

In the Brad Peyton-directed Journey 2, (a sort-of sequel to 2008's Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D), Hudgens plays Kailani, the strong-willed daughter of Gabato (Luis Guzman), a helicopter pilot on a South Seas island. After some haggling, they both agree to transport 17-year-old Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) and his new stepfather, Hank Parsons (Dwayne Johnson) in a search to find Sean's missing adventurer grandfather (Michael Caine).

Along the way, the helicopter runs into a massive storm and crash-lands on a peculiar island, stranding all four of them. They soon locate the grandpa there, only to discover they have just days to escape the island before it sinks into the sea.

Loosely based on Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the movie was filmed on location in and around the jungles of Oahu in Hawaii.

Hudgens said she enjoyed playing a no-nonsense female surrounded by males in the wilderness.

"She definitely stands up for herself," said the 23-year-old of Kailani, "just (as) I think that all women should stand up for themselves, because we're powerful, and Kailani definitely sticks with that."

Other motivations for her character were inspired by the exotic settings at Oahu's Waimea Valley, China Walls and the Kualoa Ranch, where Jurassic Park was filmed.

"Hawaii was definitely a large part of making everything real, because there are so many magical places," says Hudgens. "I would show up for work, and almost be in tears at how moving and how stunning these places are."

A bonus was the friendly cast of Johnson, Guzman and Hutcherson, who briefly dated Hudgens while filming Journey 2. "It's refreshing when you meet people who are very true to themselves," said Hudgens. "A lot of people can care about what other people think, and try to morph themselves into something that they're not."

Despite the amiable cast, glorious vistas, and tropical Hawaiian climate, she did have to suffer a little bit during the jungle shoot.
"The centipedes that were crawling around were just so disgusting, and they were massive, with all their little legs crawling," she recalls. "That freaked me out."

Even worse, there's a sequence in Journey 2 that called for Hudgens' character to be submerged in water. "I have a pet peeve that's so ridiculous, but I hate getting my face wet, or fully submerging myself under the water, or even opening my eyes underwater."

She did what was required just the same. If nothing else, Hudgens is a trouper, who committed to an acting career at an early age.

Before doing the High School Musical TV shows and movie alongside former boyfriend Zac Efron, Hudgens was an ambitious child performer who worked in and around Los Angeles in theatre productions.

"I did a lot of theatre growing up," she recalls. "It started with theatre that I had to pay to be in, and then it started becoming theatre that I was paid to be in."

In 2003, she won a co-starring part in Thirteen, followed by a series of guest appearances on kids' shows, including The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, The Brothers Garcia and Drake & Josh.

Then there was High School Musical, and the teen frenzy that came with it. Over the last few years, Hudgens has been trying to break free from her teenybopper image. She did that most notably with her Blondie role in last year's R-rated fable, Sucker Punch.

Upcoming is the Scott Walker murder mystery, The Frozen Ground, set for release next December and starring Nicolas Cage and John Cusack. Hudgens plays a homeless girl on the run from a serial killer. To prepare for the part, she chopped off her hair and donned fake tattoos and piercings, "and I actually lived in a pregnant, homeless teen shelter for about two weeks before we started filming, just to become one of the girls, hanging out with them, hanging out with their children."

It's the kind of acting experience she hopes to repeat.

"There are definitely projects that you truly invest yourself in, and can only hope for the best, but I do this because I'm so passionate about acting," Hudgens says. "I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I love it with all of my heart, and I will always fight for anything that I want. I was going to say to the death, but that's a bit intense."

She thinks about that, then adds, as an afterthought: "All the parts I play are definitely an extension of myself, so I have to pull from that, but at the end of the day, I go back to being the happy, bubbly, giggly Vanessa."

I am boring

2012-01-30T19:43:00.000-08:00

Los Angeles, Jan 28 (PTI) ''High School Musical'' star Vanessa Hudgens says being boring saved her from the pitfalls of fame.

The 23-year-old believes she has not been lured by the dark side of Hollywood thanks to her love of being dull, reported Showbizspy.

"That kind of thing isn''t really my scene. My scene is honestly sitting around at home, hanging out with my mom and my sister. I think I am kind of boring like that. I would rather be out on the beach than going to a bar," Hudgens said.

The actress had recently said she hates the internet."I do hate the internet. I mean I love it because it makes shopping on line possible and that''s one of my guilty pleasures. But, aside from that, the internet just makes everything way too accessible.

"Like back in the day studios controlled what the audiences saw of the celebrities, the actors, but nowadays there''s paparazzi following you around every single day," she said.

Beach blunder for Vanessa Hudgens

2012-01-30T19:40:00.000-08:00

VANESSA Hudgens was taken by surprise as she soaked up the sun in Hawaii – when she suddenly found herself holding up her swimwear.

The High School Musical actress was relaxing on the beach when her biniki's clasp suddenly flew open.

Fortunately the 23-year-old star was able to catch it in time — then found herself unable to do it up without revealing more.

But with a sun shade to hand, it wasn't long before she was fully dressed and back to topping up her tan.

Vanessa has barely been off the sands in recent days, usually with boyfriend Austin Butler.The pair have been together since last September, but still seem to be enjoying their honeymoon period.

The young lovers have been spending most of their time canoodling on the beach — though they did find time for a quick kayaking session.

Hudgens, Hutcherson admit dating while filming 'Journey' sequel

2012-01-30T19:37:00.000-08:00

MANILA, Philippines — The lead actors of ”Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens were forced to admit their dating past during an interview with an Australian “Today” morning show, thehuffingtonpost.com reported Jan. 17.

Hutcherson and Fil-Am Hudgens shot each other an awkward glance after they were asked about their romantic past. The interview felt off particularly because the former “High School Musical” star is now publicly dating actor Austin Butler. Online reports about the situation called the moment “cringe-worthy” for both actors who obviously searched each other for the right words to say.After the brief uncomfortable silence, Hutcherson managed to answer: “We’re not [dating now]. We were at one point, but she broke my heart. No, I’m just kidding. That was a while ago. We’re really good friends now.”

From edgier film forays (“Bandslam,” “Sucker Punch”), Hudgens now returned to a more wholesome part via “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” the sequel to 2008’s blockbuster “Journey to the Center of the Earth.”

Hudgens plays island girl Kailani in the action-adventure. “[My character] kind of gets sucked into this adventure against her will, but through Sean (Hutcherson) she opens up her heart because she’s really ruled by her head,” she said in an e-mailed statement from the movie’s local distributor Warner Bros. Pictures.

While they were filming the New Line Cinema offering, Hutcherson said Hudgens kept singing and dancing off camera. He revealed, “She’s always dancing,” to which Hudgens supplied, “And singing.”

Being the only girl in the main cast that also includes Dwayne Johnson and Michael Caine, Hudgens took it upon herself to look after her co-stars. “So, it’s my job to look out for the boys. It’s awesome. I mean everybody’s so amazing. I really get along with the guys.”

Off-screen romance translated to on-screen rapport for the young actors despite the opposite characters they play.

“Kailani is tough because she has to be. She looks after her father. She’s also very outspoken,” said Hudgens.

“Sean is a dreamer and Kailani is far more practical. He wants her to get into the spirit of this great quest but she’s just focused on the risks,” told Hutcherson.

“Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” opens across the Philippines on Thursday, Feb. 2 in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D and regular cinemas.

Bikini-Clad Vanessa Hudgens Can’t Keep Her Hands Off Boyfriend Austin Butler

2011-12-31T08:11:00.000-08:00

It’s bikini season here at INF Daily. Or at least Bikini Week – topping it off with the ultimate Bikini Friday. I have looked at the photos we got in overnight folks, and it’s all beaches and bathing suits. Did you know that celebs don’t ski in the winter? Apparently that’s the case. It’s all Miami Beach.

Starting off our gorgeous Bikini Friday is Vanessa Hudgens, kissing it up with boyfriend Austin Butler. I’d tell her to get a room, but they’ve already got a bed so it seems rather unnecessary. Oh, “it’s a beach bed,” you say? Meh, they’re celebs. They get to sex it up wherever they want, regardless of the localeAt the risk of my cold dead heart melting just a tad, Vanessa and Austin are pretty damn cute. I don’t think I’ve seen her that obviously into someone since the halcyon days of Zefron.

Unrelated: yikes, are those overalls ugly. But it turns out, if you wear next-to-nothing underneath something ugly, it’s easy not to notice the fashion misstep.

Vanessa Hudgens wards off holiday weight

2011-12-31T08:07:00.000-08:00

It may be the festive season, but Vanessa Hudgens isn't taking a break from her fitness regime.

The actress – who played Gabriella Montez in the High School Musical series – was spotted heading to a yoga class in Studio City, California today.

The 23-year-old – who is dating Disney star Austin Butler – wore a rather unusual outfit to the fitness class. Donning red jogging bottoms and a white vest, the star covered up with a heavy red and black poncho despite the sunny weather.She shielded her make-up free face and kinked hair with a white baseball cap as she carried her equipment into the exercise session.

Hudgens didn't seem to care about her undone appearance as she headed straight to brunch with her HSM pal Ashley Tisdale following the work out.

While Ashley was well done up in a thigh-high pair of yellow lace-up boots, the star dined out in her exercise clothing after working up a sweat.

Vanessa has been seen wearing plenty of loose clothing recently as she enjoys some time off during the Christmas holidays in the Hollywood area.

Vanessa Hudgens, Austin Butler PDA; Zac Efron a Distant Memory!

2011-12-23T07:43:00.000-08:00

For Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron seems to be a distant memory. Vanessa and her new beau, Austin Butler, were giving the paparazzi a lens-full by sharing a little PDA during a recent walk around Hollywood. Talk about a "get a room" moment!Yep, the 23-year-old Vanessa Hudgens, who is now playing the role of cougar, dating a guy three years younger than she, isn't afraid to share a kiss right out in public.

Okay, so three years is not that big a deal. What is a big deal is how much Vanessa seems to be into Austin. It makes one wonder if the kissing was a show for the camera. It was as if Hudgens was saying, "Enough with the Zac Efron talk, I'm Austin Butler's girl now."

Good for Vanessa. What was lost in this was Vanessa Hudgens was looking her normal stylish self (ignore the ripped jeans she wore to Target the other day). She had a white top, bare midriff, jeans, belt, and wedge heels.

Hot or not: Vanessa Hudgens' hippie chic

2011-12-23T07:37:00.000-08:00

Vanessa Hudgens has shown time and time again she prefers a relaxed look...

But could she have gone a little too far down the hippie trail this time around?

Floppy hat is one thing, ripped jeans is another…but the coat, thongs and tassle bag too?

We're thinking the High School Musical star looks a little 'scruffy chic' but hey, that's just us!

What do you guys think? Is Vanessa's look hippie hot? Or totally not?

2011-11-13T20:44:00.000-08:00

It's been a year since Vanessa Hudgens won a devastating legal battle against her ex-producer -- but the actress claims she still hasn't gotten the $38,000 she's owed ... and now, she's out for retribution.

Vanessa filed legal docs on Wednesday, asking a judge to enforce the judgment she won last year against a guy named Johnny Vieira -- who entered into a production agreement with Hudgens back in 2005 to help launch her career.

Vanessa sued Johnny back in 2009, claiming they had severed their professional relationship in 2006 -- but Johnny was still using her image to promote his business.A judge awarded Vanessa $29,500 in damages last year, plus attorney's fees and costs totaling $9,314.62 -- but the actress claims she hasn't seen a dime.

She wants a judge to drag Johnny to court asap ... and force him to pay up.

Vanessa Hudgens Gains 15 Pounds and Blames Zach Efron?

2011-11-09T05:04:00.000-08:00

Vanessa Hudgens has gained 15 pounds since boyfriend Zach Efron moved on and it is very noticeable, especially around her face. Even though the two broke up last year, Vanessa's been letting herself go since the break-up.It is not a rumor that this "High School Musical" star is pudgy today because of Zach Efron kicking her to the curb. She blames the weight gain on the painful break-up. This weight shouldn't stay on longer, as the producers of her next film, "The Frozen Ground," hired a personal trainer to work with Vanessa. She is due to start shooting this month.

While Vanessa is young and break-ups at this age can become extremely painful, eating your way through your sorrow just doesn't do a thing, but make you more miserable when you get on the scale or look in the mirror.

You can see the latest picture of Vanessa here on Celebslam.

The fitness trainer has Vanessa on a strict diet and exercise plan, he is working with her seven days a week. It's safe to say when she appears in this new movie, she'll be back to her neat and trim self!

Vanessa Hudgens shows off her curvier figure

2011-11-09T05:00:00.000-08:00

Wearing a pair of navy blue cut-off lounge trousers with a grey vest, Vanessa hugged a female friend goodbye and failed to hide her fuller figure.

Vanessa Hudgens is sartorially challenged in mixed up style

2011-08-14T07:33:00.000-07:00

On Monday she stepped out in a pair of tiny denim shorts but today Vanessa Hudgens took her style over to the wild side.

The actress,22, went shopping with her little sister Stella and opted for a pair of animal print shots a white vest and a khaki oversized shirt and a pair of wooden heels.

Vanessa's outfit made for an interesting ensemble and a stark departure from her usual boho chic style.

Stella also went for super-short, and managed to don smaller shorts than her big sister wearing a pair of tiny denim hotpants with a long white vest.

And from the back it appeared that the girls weren’t wearing much at all given Vanessa’s shirt and Stella’s top covered their shorts.

Stella, 15, showed off impressively toned legs which she has honed thanks to figure skating full time for the past year.

And Vanessa’s younger sister, who recently took a break from the ice to concentrate on her acting, loves having her sister’s wardrobe to raid.

She told Teen Vogue: ‘My sister and I are pretty much the same size, which is fortunate for me but unfortunate for her because I always go to her house and am like, “I need clothes.” The last time I raided her closet, I picked out a white dress that was not too long but not too short, a black faux-fur Juicy Couture coat, and cheetah-print shoes and sunglasses. I felt so cool.’

The military chic meets animal instincts look was in stark contrast to Vanessa’s relaxed boho style that she has been seen sporting in recent months.

One of my favorite Candie’s-isms is that 'Candie’s Girls never cry over spilt milk.'"

She's one of Disney's poster girls and has crafted something of a wholesome image due to that role.

But Vanessa Hudgens appears to have a naughty habit that could tarnish that butter-wouldn't-melt image.

The 22-year-old was caught smoking during a drive through Hollywood - and tried to hide the evidence.In 2007, private photos she'd taken of herself in the nude were leaked online causing huge embarrassment to the star.

Further pictures hit the net and she later admitted to being deeply affected by the exposure which is thought to have been the handiwork of a celebrity hacking gang.

'I think it has made me stronger. But it still hurts,' she told Glamour magazine. 'It sucks because they were supposed to be private, but at the same time a lot of actresses do it [nudity].

'Eventually, I'm sure that I will [on screen]. But I don't know if I would be able to do it now.'

Vanessa, who poses with a pair of kittens on the cover of the new issue of America's Glamour magazine, also tells how she gets scared on the red carpet.

She added: 'When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.'

'Going to events gives me such anxiety,' she told the publication.

'I get hot flashes! I can't breathe, and I get claustrophobic. It's a very odd business. I do it because I love acting, but I don't know if I'll ever get used to it.'

Vanessa Hudgens Enjoys Single Life—in Retail Therapy

2011-08-14T06:51:00.000-07:00

Vanessa Hudgens is enjoying life. She's free of boyfriend attachments, free of active movie-filming, and she's free to spend her afternoons shopping with her gal-pals, driving them to the mall in her new Audi s5, reports Celebrity-Gossip. She's also free to wear what she wants, even if it's a tank-top-type sleeveless blouse over a droopy pink hippy skirt and flip-flops. Oops! No celeb is ever quite that free.No matter. Vanessa Hudgens always looks like a star, even with her newly cropped hair (for her role in Gimme Shelter, which has now wrapped.) It's not the dark-haired beauty's best look, but change is generally good. Certainly the paparazzi recognized her. There are Vanessa-sightings all over the internet. But everyone was so busy taking photos, they forgot to check out what she and her girlfriends bought. A pair of designer jeans or some cute little shorts? Hair extensions? Maybe platform Louboutins? Wait—let's not get carried away.

Vanessa Hudgens has been busy this year, filming Sucker Punch and Gimme Shelter. Both are stark portrayals of women in gritty situations. The actress deserves some kick-back time. Everyone knows women—most women, anyway—get an energy and/or a mood charge from shopping. That's why they call it "retail therapy".

"It is important to love yourself," Vanessa says. "It is fun to look at cute guys. I like being single. I feel that I have all the time for myself." Yes, most fans would agree she is lucky to get a block of free time like this. So, naturally, she is making the most of it, and heading off shopping with her friends. Shop on!

Vanessa Hudgens: High school musical

2011-06-08T03:31:00.000-07:00

GORGEOUS former High School Musical star VANESSA HUDGENS gets top marks in this skimpy swimsuit.

And she's certainly teaching her ex ZAC EFRON a lesson. Vanessa, 22, is single after splitting from her co-star in December last year.

But he can't fail to see what he's missing as she poses in this figure-Hudgens cossie.

The sexy actress has graduated from the wholesome look she had while starring alongside heart-throb Zac, 23, in the Disney Channel series.She has since appeared in a corset and leather catsuit in action film Sucker Punch.

Now that's what you call a class act.

Vanessa Hudgens in a Minor Car Crash

2010-09-04T19:40:00.000-07:00

Sep 4, 2010 - Vanessa Hudgens needs to drive more carefully the future. She was involved in a minor smash up while backing out of the parking lot in Studio City California last Wednesday. Her black Audi backed into the side of an oncoming vehicle.

Good thing it was only a minor collision. Vanessa’s car obtained slight grazes on the rear bumper while the other car, a silver one, had more. The impact created a dent on the driver’s side door. There’s no hiding this kind of souvenir!

When Vanessa realized what happened, do you know what she did? Instead of coming out of her car to check on the other driver, since it was her fault, she stayed put inside and waited for the other driver to come to her. When the other driver, a man, came to her side, it was only then that she rolled down the window. The two talked for a few minutes, exchanging information. No police was there at the scene.Perhaps the man was a fan that is why he didn’t make a great deal out of the incident. Most the time, the aggravated party would never let it pass without making a scene.

Vanessa Hudgens Sucks as Mimi in RENT

2010-09-04T19:32:00.000-07:00

We don't believe in God, but we do believe in RENT, the mother of all musicals. We were depressed when the show closed on Broadway, but were consoled when the movie came out and many of the original cast reprised their roles on the big screen. These days, you can catch RENT not just on Netflix but on high school stages across the country, and apparently, at the Hollywood Bowl.This past weekend saw High School Musical starlet Vanessa Hudgens butchering the role of Mimi in a Neil Patrick Harris-directed showing of RENT. Sister not only couldn't pull off the role of a drug-addicted hooker, but she couldn't even hit the notes.

Vanessa Hudgens Says 'Sucker Punch' Would Be 'So Badass' In 3-D

2010-08-13T22:41:00.000-07:00

Vanessa Hudgens' upcoming film roles are definite departures from her squeaky-clean work in "High School Musical" — particularly in the upcoming action-thriller "Sucker Punch," directed by "300" helmer Zack Snyder.

When MTV News recently caught up with the young star, at Neutrogena's Wave for Change with Global Giving, she revealed just how different the role really is. Hint: She's traded singing for slinging bullets.

Although the film will present at Comic-Con this weekend, Hudgens said it is far from completion. "It's probably, definitely not done," she said. "There's so much CGI in it, it's ridiculous."

Regarding the film joining in on the popular 3-D trend, Hudgens was enthusiastic about "Sucker Punch" going that route. "It would be so badass," she said. "It's already really badass, but having it in 3-D ... having my tomahawk fly towards your face, [it would be] just too cool, you know?"

Speaking of badass, Hudgens continued to cite the gun-slinging as her favorite aspect of filming.

"Shooting a .50-cal [machine gun], there's nothing like it," she said with a smile. Hudgens added that she and her female castmates (including Jena Malone, Abbie Cornish and Emily Browning) found a new sense of empowerment with their gun-wielding skills. "I think all of us girls loved it so much. We're all strong individuals, and when you give us a gun ... you kind of unleash something."

Hudgens is also excited for fans to see a sneak peek of footage, which will premiere at Comic-Con in San Diego. "I'm going for the first time, and I'm so excited!" she exclaimed. "I want to go dress up in a mask or paint my face so I can walk around in the crowd."

importance to me, though, is honoring the piece as a whole - the music, the vibe, the creator - so that those who have never experienced RENT will be able to appreciate it alongside die-hard fans.

Caught! Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish, New BFF Alert?

2010-06-24T06:34:00.000-07:00

While Zac Efron is on vacay with his little bro in Hawaii for the Maui Film Festival, girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens was busy having a GNO (a girls' night out, for those of you not up on your slang).

V.Hud got her dance on at the Activision E3 preview event at Staples Center, where Eminem and Rihanna performed. But don't think Ms. Hudgens was a wallflower while "her Zac" was out of town.

Oh no, Vanessa was totally grinding with...

Abbie Cornish! The woman who supposedly came between Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon (only to later fizzle out with Phillippe herself) arrived at Staples solo, but she met up with Vanessa and Brittany Snow inside the show."Vanessa and Abbie were dancing and holding hands during the concert, having a great time," onlookers tell us. How fun! While Cornish was living it up, being carefree, Ryan, whom she didn't exactly split from amicably, was seen buying groceries in Los Feliz. Love when he's in daddy mode, so hot.

Mere feet away from these new besties gone wild were two gals who have shared something altogether different...

Nikki Reed and Paris Hilton, who were "both acting very mellow," so we're told, but not exactly acting mellow together.

You'd think with that dubious Paris Latsis out of both women's love lives, Nikki and Pare could bond a little, but instead, the honeys kept their distance and hung happily with their respective crews. Even more low-key across town, but just one degree away, was Nikki's New Moon costar...

Rachelle Lefevre dining, or rather grazing, at Joans on Third.

The healthy gal, dressed in leggings and a striped tee, ordered grilled artichoke and—gasp-—was eating alone. Love the gourmet cojones on this broad! Rachelle still had a little Victoria in her. We were told by diners that her hair was quite "orangey."

Vanessa Hudgens Honored as ShoWest's "Star of Tomorrow"

2010-02-15T04:42:00.000-08:00

For those who have been tracking down the progress of High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens, you may like to list this one down. The 21-year-old actress has been named "Female Star of Tomorrow" by ShoWest recently, along with her Beastly co-star Alex Pettyfer.


	According to The Hollywood Reporter, the two of them will be featured at the 2010 ShoWest gala. It's held to honor the industry's brightest stars, and in this case it's these two Beastly actors. As male and female "Stars of Tomorrow" for this year, Hudgens and Pettyfer will be welcomed on March 18 for the gala. It will be the event closing the exhibition, held at Bally's and Paris hotels in Las Vegas. Some of us may wonder why exactly these two snagged that award. Most High School Musical fans might even propose Zac Efron take on the male "Star of Tomorrow" title. But that's just not going to happen.

ShoWest managing director Robert Sunshine has pointed out that Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens are "outstanding young talents" in Hollywood these days. While her boyfriend Efron might fall into that category as well, he just isn't as Beastly as the duo is.

Vanessa Hudgens, after gaining fame on High School Musical, starred on some movies right after. There was Bandslam and a voice acting gig on Robot Chicken, but so far Beastly is her most hyped project since. We think it won't be as big as the Disney franchise though.

Vanessa Hudgens Gets 'Beastly' on Fans

2010-02-15T03:16:00.000-08:00

We haven't been hearing much from High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens these days, which probably means she's busy working on more projects. It's either that or she doesn't have any more movies to offer, but we're thinking it's the former.
Anyway, the 21-year-old actress made an appearance to promote her upcoming movie Beastly. It isn't your regular promotional though, since she talked to her fans through an online video on Facebook.

Bolder off the shoulder ... Vanessa Hudgens

As the temperatures have hovered around freezing we've been grateful that thigh-scrapers are the only footwear to be seen in.
Hollywood's A-list can't get enough of the warm but sexy look, either.

A week in Vanessa Hudgens's life

2007-11-18T06:43:00.000-08:00

While most of the cast of the hugely successful High School Musical are busy with the movie’s Ice Tour in NYC, Vanessa Hudgens was out and about with her family. She spent one day having a lunch outing with her mother and sister; and the next night, Vanessa had fun raising money for charity. She attended a Lucky Strike Lanes event with her younger sister, Stella, for the Best Buddies International charity fundraiser.

Vanessa Hudgens showed off her bowling skills and gamely posed for fans while holding a bright orange bowling ball. Then yesterday, the cutie teen star was spotted in braids while going to an early morning meeting at The William Morris Agency in Los Angeles. Maybe the meeting was about the negotiations with HSM 3. According to Life & Style, Zac Efron was offered $3.25 million to star in HSM 3 while Vanessa Hudgens was only offered $1.3 million dollar! What’s that supposed to mean?? And thus, the negotiations continue. Of course, everybody is hoping Vanessa and Disney will reach an agreement. After all, HSM 3 is to hot to pass up for both sides!

Vanessa Hudgens' angry dad

2007-10-20T06:40:00.000-07:00

It's not everyday we see Vanessa Hudgens' s dad, Greg. We see her everyday (thanks to the paparazzi), and her mom sometimes. Her dad? Na-ah! Frankly, this is the first time I've seen Greg (an angry one at that) and man, he's so big! Thank God Vanessa Hudgens didn't get his huge frame. Anyway, the incident that prompted the High School Musical star's dad to get red in the face was the paparazzi trailing them around.

The V and Greg just came from the gym and got mad at the paparazzi snapping pictures at them. So, what did he do? He angrily swung his water bottle at the paps, spraying some water over them! You don't believe me? Watch this video HERE. Vanessa Hudgens, like the typical teen, was embarrassed with her father's behavior and yelled "Daaaaad!" during the bottle swinging. Hehe! Sure is fun to see your favorite teen celebrity doing "normal" teen stuff sometimes.

Vanessa Hudgens excited with HSM3!

2007-09-08T06:38:00.000-07:00

Our favorite High School Musical cutie has been all over Los Angeles gyms these past few days, and fans can't help but wonder, "Is she toning up for High School Musical 3?" Maybe yes, maybe no. But I'm sure Vanessa Hudgens is all set (physically and mentally) to film the third installment of her and Zac Efron's popular for-TV Disney movie. According to reports filming for HSM3 will begin this coming February, and Vanessa Hudgens with director Kenny Ortega couldn't be more thrilled about it! Says the adorable V at the American Music Awards: "I am so very excited!

To do a third one for the big screen, I can't begin to think how much fun we'll have." The HSM (1 to 3) director also shared Vanessa Hudgens' excitement. He told PEOPLE magazine at the 15th Annual Diversity Awards that "We're all verbally committed, and we're all very hopeful of doing this. We want to do this, and we're going to have some new characters arriving at East High. That'll be fun, mix it up a little bit." Oooh, new characters! Maybe a new girl that will steal Zac from V?? Can't hardly wait!!!

What's up with Vanessa Hudgens?

2007-08-20T06:36:00.000-07:00

Yahooo! Our darling Vanessa Hudgens' practical Christmas wish (as she shared in USA Today) finally came true this week. Last week, the 18-year-old High School Musical actress passed her California driving written test at the DMV in Glendale, California. And last Monday, December 3, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted driving her parents' Toyota Camry in Los Angeles with mom, Gina. Yeeha! I wonder what car she'll buy..

Anyway, as for charity, V paid a visit to Ocean Drive Magazine to promote the charity program Best Buddies last November 29 in Miami Beach, Florida. Vanessa Hudgens shares, "Best Buddies is an amazing organization that helps support people with mental disabilities. Today, it actually puts them in jobs, which is why I'm here at Ocean Drive ... My manager is the person who actually developed it, and I found out about it and I thought it was an amazing organization. It's really neat to reach out to people who are, like, fans, too. Just to be able to be a part of their lives is really neat."
