Vanessa Hudgens @ The Tyra Banks Show
High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens gave quite the interesting interview on Monday’s episode of The Tyra Banks Show.
Tyra threw Vanessa a faux prom because V never got the chance to attend her high school prom. Vanessa also burst into song a couple times throughout the show. Watch the video below! Here are some highlights:
So when you [and Zac Efron] are singing the songs “I LOVE YOU” and stuff, you guys were falling in love on set? I guess! [giggles] It’s fun to work with him. He’s really sweet and singing all of songs is always a blast.
Is Zac Efron a good kisser on-screen? (tight-lipped) Mmmmmm. (Tyra responds, “Oh, it’s that good? Mmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!”)
What is your ethnic background? My mom’s Filipino, my dad’s Caucasian. But within that, I’m Chinese, Spanish, American-Indian and Irish.
Best part about being famous? THE FREE STUFF.
When you read about young stars like Britney and Lindsay and them getting in trouble, how does that affect you personally? I honestly just think it’s stupid. [laughs] It’s easy to stay out of those situations. You just have to be smart about your decisions.

Vanessa hudgens is so cool i think its so sweet of tyra for giving her a prom Zac efron should been there!:}
WOW!!! v has an AMAZING voice. i think her voice has grown alot. besides the zac parts, i keep watching the parts where she sings. that was so sweet of tyra to give her a prom.oh yaeh, i dont think she is being hypocritical. its not like she posted the pictures herself. i dont think she is being judging anybody either. everyone has their own opinion. she still IS great role model too. sure, she made a mistake but she has taken responsibility and apologised to everyone for that mistake. she is a great person, role model actrezz, dancer, and singer.
GO VANESSA!!!!!!
JARED could you please post the video with Lauren’s interview?
I love her too and I couldn’t watch Tyra
Wow…some of you people are really mean. I loved the video, and I love how Vanessa is always completely honest. She was honest about the Britney/Lindsey question, she even came out and said that those pictures were her. Something I bet no one here would do. Those nude pics were taken a couple years ago and a ‘friend’ found them and posted them on the internet. Someone broke their trust with her. She took those pics before she was a big celeb, before she was a role model for a gazillion girls around the world. It was her personal life, stop judging her.
Anyway, I liked it. Tyra is sooo sweet for doing the prom thing for her. I couldn’t stop smiling while watching it. =]
okay,
i played along and watched the interview…… i was cringing the whole time b/c of all the junior high type conversation she and tyra were having. she does seem sweet but she got more excited talking about matt damon then her “boyfriend” zac….i think that’s rather telling. tyra is obnoxious. she tries to hard to seem endearing and witty and she comes across as fake to me. she especially was irritating in this by trying to act vanessa’s age in an attempt to bond and get her to open up about personal issues. i really wish that naomi campbell had hit her in the head with a cell phone when she had the chance.
JARED
could you please put Lauren’s part in the show? I love her too and I can’t watch Tyra.
Thanks you’re the best!
Nothing says wholesome after a nude photo scandal like faux prom! Yeah, let’s remind everyone how she’s basically a high school student. Who posed nude in front of her stuffed animals, lol!
As to whether or not her stupid decision that she herself claims are “easy to avoid” was “as bad” as Lindsay or Britney’s, it doesn’t matter. It’s like, you can’t be a “little pregnant” — you’re either pregnant or not. And for everyone who gives grief to people who “judge” Vanessa for making a stupid decision, I didn’t see anyone here claiming they had never not made a stupid decision themselves or that stupid decisions are so easy to avoid like Vanessa herself did in that interview. Love her all you want, but the people saying she’s being a hypocrite for that comment have a valid right to feel that way. Doesn’t make a ho just because she’s a hypocrite or acting like naked photos weren’t easy to avoid or a stupid decision, but it just goes to show, like all of us, she is NOT perfect.
“smart like her and not pose nude for a pic? what a hypocrite…lol”
idiots man, look up the definition of a hyprocrite. its not Vanessa. She took those pics BEFORE she realized how stupid it all was. She obviously didnt think it was stupid before, but NOW she does.
If the nude pics were new then she would be a hypocrite. But since they’re very old. no, she’s not a hypocrite.
To everyone: dont be stupid and call her a hypocrite because of this. cuz if you knew what a hypocrite was, you would know thats not her.
Oh gimme a break with the said “irony.” Everyone has done something they’re ashamed of in their lives, so does that make nobody entitled to their opinions on Brit and Linds?
Seriously whoever says she’s a hypocrite for the lindsay/britney answer, get over your selves, she’s not. Her pictures were taken privately, she doesn’t do drugs/drive/not wear clothes in PUBLIC on purpose or on a frequent bases.She’s about a thousand times less idiotic and worthless than the otehr two. That said, the interview was absolutely adorable.
The singing was great! I love her!
I saw this on tv this morning and I thought this was the best interview of Vanessa ever. She’s such a sweet person. The whole interview just left a smile on my face. It’s always great when you see a celebrity that seems to be such a great person, and every time they are interviewed they prove that to be true. I love how Tyra always asks the questions that you want to know, but in a tasteful way. Go Vanessa!
I love her cuz she’s SOO real and so honest!
“I honestly just think it’s stupid. [laughs] It’s easy to stay out of those situations. You just have to be smart about your decisions.”
just like she tries to stay out of it now. BEFORE she didnt think it was so stupid. So she made a mistake BEFORE. but now, like she said, she thinks it’s stupid. So some of these people commenting need to think before they comment.
I agree that its kind of ironic though, but it was pre-recorded.
Oh goodness she is JUST like regular people.
Love her!
I think the only people that have been holding her up onto the Perfect and Now she fell off the pedastal are the people calling her a Hypocrite. I don’t think she is, if she was she’d of never admited to those photos and she’d of never apologized. Although this unfortante mini scandal has humanized her to alot of people it hardly puts her in the leagues with Britney who goes about commando and acting like a crazed nut or Lindsey who’s been need of an attitude adjustment since both her parents started going wacko years ago.
Having good morales, good ideals, a good strong upbringing, and knowing how to make a smart decision doesn’t make you impervious to mistakes. I have strong morales, a good upbringing, and I know how to make smart decisions like “Not drinking and driving” yet I’ve still done stupid stuff that well I do regret (and i’ve never repeated). Luckily I’m not famous so some ******* can try and ruin my life for their own thrills. Vanessa wasn’t as lucky and for that I feel sorry for her.
I personally consider Vanessa a good role model. She owned up when she could of easily lied considering most people thought they were fake. Not many of us would of come forward and admited it, hell I dont think even I’d of owned up.
I hate to say it but the type of person who leaks those sort of photos of anyone even god forbid Paris Hilton (and I really hate her) is just a plain a**hole. Its no one else’s business what goes on in private. It takes a really low person on the morality poll to get a thrill from it much less release that sort of stuff.
If your going to judge a person then be prepared to be judged.
Amaazing I’m a fan of Tyra now! Love ya V!
I found her to be hypocritical when judging her peers, cause she’s also done bad girl stuff.
LOLOLOL! Who DOESN’T know taking/sending nude photos of yourself, especially when you are acting and planning on acting more isn’t stupid? And if Vanessa didn’t think it was a stupid decision BEFORE now, WHY does she have ANY fans? Yes, we ALL make stupid decisions. But to assume/say Lindsay’s or Britney’s were any easier for them to avoid than NOT taking nude photos of yourself or avoiding sending a boyfriend NUDE photos of yourself IS stupid.
I could care less about nudity and agree everyone makes stupid decisions but the people who act like Vanessa did this with either a gun to her head or because she didn’t realize it was stupid make me like her even less.
For heaven sakes!
When you read about young stars like Britney and Lindsay and them getting in trouble, how does that affect you personally? I honestly just think it’s stupid. [laughs] It’s easy to stay out of those situations. You just have to be smart about your decisions.
There is truth behind that. She did make a weird decission by taking those pictures but it was before she was famous. How the hell would she know(at the time the pictures were taken) that she would become this big? She did avoid the parties and the drinking. She couldn’t helped the fact that someone she trusted leaked the photos. Photos taken before HSM when she made it big. She is being smart about her decissions. She keeps her private life a secret and stays away from the wild party style. the photo was LEAKED she didn’t put it there herself. It was an invasion of privacy.

FOR YOU PURITANICAL PEOPLE “JUDGING” VANESSA FOR THE NUDE PHOTO . . .
REMEMBER, VANESSA DID NOT PUT THE PICTURE ON THE INTERNET. IT WAS A PRIVATE PHOTO OF HER. I SEE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH HER TAKING A PICTURE OF HERSELF. WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE THINK THE FEMALE BODY IS SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF? SHE DIDN’T MAKE THE “BAD” DECISION. THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE NUDE PICTURE IS THE ONE WHO MADE THE BAD DECISION BY POSTING A PICTURE THAT BELONGED TO SOMEONE ELSE.
AND TO COMPARE VANESSA TO OTHER YOUNG “STARLETS” WHO CONTINUOUSLY DRINK THEMSELVES INTO STUPORS, STAY HIGH ON COCAIN AND OTHER DRUGS, PARTY ALL NIGHT IN CLUBS AND GET ARRESTED FOR DUI . . . SIMPLY RIDICULOUS.
SHE IS MAKING GOOD DECISIONS WHEN SHE CHOOSES NOT TO DO THOSE THINGS. LET’S GIVE HER CREDIT FOR THAT.
VANESSA IS A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN WITH A GREAT FUTURE AHEAD OF HER. I’M ROOTING FOR HER.

i agree..u cant just judge vanessa for the nude picx..it was taken like 2-3 years ago “wen she wasnt famous” and was meant to be “private”.vanessa did make a mistake of taking the pics…but look at her now..she isnt like lindsay,paris and britney partying around on wee hours..she isnt arrested for DUI..and she doesnt do drugs..
the pics was her past.!she isnt in the same level wid those stars.!
Those nude photos were most likely taken BEFORE the original taping of her guest appearance on the Tyra Banks show. Knowing that she HAD ALREADY done something “stupid”, she shouldn’t have commented on Britney or Lindsay in that way. She doesn’t know them personally and does not know what they’ve been through.
aww that would have been soo cute if zac came out i would have totally cried and she probably would too…lol GO ZANESSA
