Vanessa Anne Hudgens (born December 14, 1988) is an American actress and singer. She is best known for her role as Gabriella Montez in the High School Musical film series.[2] She pursued a solo music career and released her debut album V on September 26, 2006. The album debuted at number twenty four in the U.S.[3] and was later certified Gold. Hudgens released her second album, Identified in July 1, 2008 in the U.S. She has three upcoming films: Bandslam, in theaters August 14, 2009,[4] Beastly in 2010, and Sucker Punch![5] in 2011.
On September 6, 2007, photos of Hudgens appeared online showing: two showing her posing in lingerie and another showing her nude. A statement from her publicist claims that the photo was taken privately and it was unfortunate that they were released on the internet.[37] Hudgens later apologized, saying that she was "embarrassed over the situation" and regretted having "taken [those] photos."[38]
OK! magazine speculated that Hudgens would be dropped from High School Musical 3 due to the photos.[39] The Walt Disney Company denied the reports, saying, "Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment. We hope she's learned a valuable lesson."[40][41][42]
However, in August 2009, a new set of pictures showing Hudgens topless emerged on the internet. The latest batch of topless pictures are said to have been taken before the first nude photo scandal. Hudgens' representatives have yet to make an official statement although lawyers have requested the removal of the pictures from the internet.[43][44]
"We asked the blog sites to take them down because posting such photographs of a minor is illegal, improper and offensive, violates her privacy rights, and infringes other legal rights in and to the photos," Hudgens' lawyer, Christopher Wong, said.[45] Furthermore, anyone who will share semi-nude pictures of Hudgens is liable to face a lawsuit, according to legal experts.[46]
