Vanessa Hudgens Keeps Covered Up
Tue, 11 September 2007 at 9:40 am
A camera shy Vanessa Hudgens keeps covered up while taking her little sister Stella, 11, and mom, Gina Guangco, to the movies in west LA on Monday.
Accompanied by a couple of burly bodyguards, Hudgens, 18, kept hidden beneath her baseball cap as she walked arm-in-arm with lil’ sis Stella.
The High School Musical star recently came under fire when nude photos of the actress surfaces last Thursday. Since then, she has apologized to fans and Disney has backed her.
Vanessa is expected to make an appearance on Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Be sure to tune in — the issue is bound to come up!

WHY do people act as if they KNOW Zac would be with her “if he could” considering he’s NEVER even publicly admitted they are more than friends? If he AND she don’t want to speak for themselves about their relationships, WHY do so-called fans of these people think they can speak for them? You don’t know them. Just as over half of you SWORE up and down 2 weeks ago Vanessa would NEVER take nude pictures. Um, hello? You know their image, you don’t know them. If you accept that, when things like this happen, when they mess up or do things your version of them would never do, you won’t be as devastated. It’s their lives, not yours.
Their relationship, whatever it is, is NOT fairy tale. It is NOT Troyella. Their relationship is NOT like yours. Theirs is in show business, and for now, it IS smart of Zac NOT to be associated with this in front of the cameras. Doesn’t make him a bad boyfriend or person. The media is going to try their damnedest to provoke him to MAKE him a part of this — that’s why several tabloids are already falsely claiming he took the nude photos — just to try to get him to issue a statement about them, even if it’s just to say “I didn’t take the pictures.” Thankfully, Zac is smart and that Jill woman is not his publicist too, so he hasn’t taken their bait. All you people who are saying “don’t judge Vanessa” seem to be judging Zac by stating what he would, could and should do, even though honestly, in show business terms, this scandal is NOT about him. If they were publicly together as a couple, I’d understand everyone wanting him to be a part of it. But this is all based on people’s assumptions or fantasies and that’s really unfair to both of them. Vanessa’s not a saint, but as her own words bite her in the ass when she said “people can say what they want, but pictures tell all” or whatever that quote was of hers re: the hawaii pictures I think, she now has pictures out there of herself that DO say A LOT. So, all the people who think those who are disappointed in Vanessa are judgmental haters, give it a rest. They have as much right to be disappointed in her as you do to defend her. We all do make mistakes but it doesn’t mean just because she’s in high school musical or possibly dating Zac Efron she is giving a get out of jail free card. Look at her own little sister. She’s, what, 12? You think it’s okay for her sister to think it’s okay/acceptable for her to take nude photos for her boyfriend if she wants to in a few years? Of course not. So if parents of other 12 year olds feel the same way now or look at Vanessa a little differently/more cautiously now, give them a break. Vanessa taking the right steps to win their respect and support back by admitting her mistake. Don’t alienate her fans even more by accusing them or attacking them. I am pretty sure Vanessa understands their disappointment and knows she has to accept these consequences. So her so-called fans can support her by accepting them as well.
Vanessa has enough to worry about now, she doesn’t need her fans making it even worse, lol.
I’m glad to see Vanessa out and about in the states again and with her family too. I’m really proud of the way she’s handled herself in this entire situation. Vanessa has shown much more maturity than other young female celebrities we tend to always hear about. I’m sure this entire incident has been a painful experience for her, but I know that she has already come out of this a better and stronger young woman. I believe that expecting Vanessa to be a “perfect and ideal” role model was something the public had no right to ask of her and in no way did she ever say she was. I’ve heard “V” refer to herself as “a good kid” and she is. Even “good kids” make mistakes. Those pictures were taken in the past and that’s over and done with already. Vanessa cannot take back what she did, but she has admitted her mistake, accepted responsibility for her past actions and apologized to her fans for disappointing them. I think that shows true character and I admire her that. I know Vanessa isn’t a “perfect” role model and I’m glad that she’s isn’t because I had forgotten that she is a human being who is capable of making mistakes. I was sucked into that “fantasy” of a “perfect role model” which the media tends to label “Disney stars”. I had put an unrealistic expectation on a young woman I don’t even know personally. Vanessa, I apologize for that and I want you to know that I will continue to support you for as long as you want to remain in the entertainment business. My positive thoughts, heartfelt prayers and best wishes are with you always.
Still luv BBV no matter wat!at leastshe had the guts to comef orward and admit they whereher!and cuz of that i Luv her more!She’s my Idol!nd it amkes me think…Why can’t people het over this? Of it was Paris or any1 else wed be lik eh wateva but cuz its Vanesssa ev’ry one is OMG THIS IS SO BAD! but it’s not!
Gud luck BBV 4 Thursday!
Well… Is it official, yet? Is the full bush back in style now?
ALL THOSE PEOPLE TELLING PEOPLE TO SHUT UP BECAUSE OF THEIR COMMENTS YOU **** UP!
people are entitled to opinions!
I personally dont like Vanessa anymore.When i met her she was so nice-like a year ago and then the second time i met her she had changed,A LOT! She was arrogant and just plain rude.I dont like her and now that she has the nude pictures out,i dont respect her one bit!
Sorry,its hows i feel,im allowed to share my opinions as should everyone else!
I feel for her still even though im not a fan but,she had it coming,thats what hollywood does.
max do you not see the pain she s going thru
and shes with her family
wow its people like you who show
no sympathy not cool
one girl against the world
not fair
i still love V & Stella is so cute !
HAHA max that comments hilarious GOOD ONE
I respect Vanessa’s attempt at privacy but She made a classic Celebrity mistake. I’m not talking about the pics right now I’m talking about her bodyguard. Nothing says “Celebrity” more than being flanked by Sasquatch sized black men in suits. If she wants to walk around without being noticed she should find more subtle bodyguards.
if you don’t like her then stop looking at her, ******* idiots. it’s that simple, are you retarded ?
This chick is annoying just like Lohan and Parasite Hilton,
I say i admire her bravery to face this mess, I dont like a lot of young celebrities this days. But with her she just proves to me she^s one in a million actress whos willing to face her mistake for the sake of her young fans. She did work to get where she is, she just doesnt expected it that her past judgement will backfire on her and her trusted people to backstab her like this.
Keep your chin up V your not the first and the last to do this mistakes your only human after all and normal just like us. Just take care next who to trust.
I honestly knew the press would be bad.
getting body-guards, good job ness!
Jellybean-keep your head up! I know you love v, and im sorry things suck!
Nellybeans-You keep your head up too girl. We all love you and good luck with your interview.
Momma G-STyle rockin, love you too!
awwww poor girl
I STILL LOVE YOU
God get over it. She took a few pictures so what?? She’s seriously cute and seems sweet. She’s no ****…Paris Hilton, Hohan and Spears raised the bar on what is considered ****** these days.
If you guys seriously think it’s fine/”normal”/okay for a 15-16 year old to take fully naked photos of herself and then SEND them to someone, full frontal and all as her stuffed animals look on in the background, then I SERIOUSLY hope it’s all people OVER the age of 18 who are NEVER planning on raising kids who think this is “no big deal.” Should/will it ruin her career? Absolutely not. But should it be considered okay/normal/”everybody does it” behavior? Absolutely not.
Let’s say she wasn’t famous and somehow these pictures STILL got on the net somehow and on to God knows what website… a young girl, full frontal nudity, stuffed animals in a girl’s bedroom setting… um, hello, anyone seen “To Catch a Predator” on Dateline, LOL?
I don’t think Vanessa’s a ho or ruined for life for these pictures, but please, especially any tweens out there, LEARN from her mistakes and KNOW this is NOT okay or “normal” or without possible consequences.
I’m going to guess that most of the people who post on here were not born prior to 1982, when another beautiful and talented woman named Vanessa shared a similar fate to Vanessa Hudgens. That Vanessa was Vanessa L. Williams, first African-American Miss America and co-star of today’s “Ugly Betty.”
She took some suggestive photos also, which went on to be published by Penthouse Magazine.
Here is a piece on Vanessa L. Williams:
“The genesis of the photos dated back to 1982, when she worked as an assistant and makeup artist for Mount Kisco, N.Y. photographer Tom Chiapel. According to Williams, Chiapel advised her that he wanted to try a “new concept of silhouettes with two models.” He photographed Williams and another woman in several nude poses. The photographs depicted mild overtones of simulated lesbian sex, which was quite controversial for its time.”
Vanessa L. Williams went on to say that she “believed the photographs were private and had been destroyed.”
Look where Ms. Vanessa L. Williams is now! Hang in there Baby V. There is a silver lining out there. Keep your chin up!!
76 I agree. What Vanessa did was kinda wrong. But she shouldn’t be put through all this trouble.
She doesn’t do drugs. she doesn’t go on super insane shopping sprees, she doesn’t spend time in clubs. She hasn’t even had a driving accident yet and this happens to normal people in LA all the time. I say that of all the young stars teenage and tween girls actually care about Vanessa is still one of the best role models.
Also I think that Vanessa is a babe, but i wasn’t too excited about seeing her naked. The nude picture was not gross or way to sexy, in fact my ownly thought was “yep shes a woman.” it wasn’t as bad as everyone’s acting like it was.
im so over her why do we need to see pics of her put better more deserving people up jared!!!!!
gosh i feel so bad for her. If paparazzis have been following her because of her good career, because she is dating Zac…now they won’t let her alone any minute because of the photos.. and i say and repeat… WHAT IS THE BAD THING OF HER PICTURES? I mean, just a few pictures, c’mon…Most of the ones who posted something about those pics, probably have worse things than these photos. So shut up ¬¬. I feel like she’s embarrased. And who wouldnt be like her if THE ENTIRE WORLD probably saw pictures of yourself with no clothes, even underwears..?¿ I hate those paparazzis…she can’t even go to the cinema with her fam? Gosh..this world is so crazy. But this fact shows EVERYONE that vanessa hudgens is so important…But NOBODY will let her down…You won’t can because she is SO amazing and the pictures were PRIVATE. I hope vanessa starts legal things to the ones who have her pictures on their site because when she took them she was no legal yet, SO it’s ILLEGAL to popst them. If you have a site and posted them let me say: first, you are not a good person…you suck. Second, hope your site get closed.I LOVE YOU NESSA
Malibu Barbie:How do you know she will be worse than lohan?
Do you read the future? if you do than alright.
Regina:How would you like your face to be called smelly?
She is human for crying out loud!!!!!!
Whohoo Go Vanessa. Go for her to get out and about! The Paps must b getn abit more intense for to have those bodyguards.
she derserves vidication
she worked dam hard
to be where she is and some idiot
decided that money
was better than being human
vanessa keep your head high
and becareful who you trust
your supposed closest
friends mght be your enemy
and all you haters
cast the keep casting stones
youll get yours
Everyone does has a right to voice their opinion. I will agree to that much. No one has the right to pass judgment on Vanessa the way many of you have been doing though. Unless you can stand there in front of the whole world and prove that you’re free from doing any wrongdoing whatsoever in your entire life then you cannot judge her. That’s my opinion.
AWWWWWW she looks so sad I still love her she is the best
even though i was sad about the nude pics of vanessa…im still proud of her, and i will continue to be a fan. It is true that everybody makes mistakes, and at that time, she was probably just stressed over having a perfect body and someone to like her…All those stresses during your teenage years…and take note she lives in California (in proximity of Hollywood, where people are obsessed with their appearances.)
We should all move on and quit making fun of her calling her pathetic…because it’s IMMATURE to call her all those vicious names.
We’ve seen in the news Paris sex tape and Lindsays drug issue..yet we forget about it and move on…
so let’s forget about her scandal, and actually admire her acting/singing skill.
She’s not leting this incident get to her. She’s trying to get her life back. I’m not saying that what she did was right. It was her decission. She TRUSTED someone and they betrayed her. How do you think she feels? To have someone you trust betray is a big thing. She probably is really hurt from that alone. She doesn’t need people critisizing. I’m 13 and I know I would never do something like that in a couple of years. Can you people just let her explain it.
To anyone who says they are 16 and would never do that. NEWSFLASH! Does that effin’ matter?! My BFF knows someone who got pregnant at 13. That does not mean I’m also going to get pregnant at 13. You don’t know the circumstances of the situation.
One last thing,
LEAVE HER THE HELL ALONE!
zac efron better speak up now…where is he and why is he acting like he doesn’t care…
I dont think any of us has room to talk trash about Vanessa.
We cant judge her from the scandalous photos or from any Paparazzi photos, because a picture is a thousand words. We dont know what she went through her teenage years. We are strangers to her, so how can you just make fun without knowing the facts or details???
What we say–any words that come out of our mouths say alot about who we are. So if anyone keeps talking trash about Vanessa, they must be a PIECE OF TRASH.
(i support you vanessa!)
and i am not a freakin 12 year old either…since many stereotype Vanessa’s fans as little kids…(Although many are) but Im turning 17 next month..And i still like vanessa as an actress or singer.
