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.

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. :D

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.

seriously @ 09/17/2007 at 7:34 pm

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

READ THIS

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Do you losers honestly think that every time Vanessa says something like that she thinks

“MUHAHAHAHA… IM A FILTHY LIAR BECAUSE I TOOK A PICTURE OF MYSELF NAKED THREE YEARS AGO BEFORE I WORKED FOR DISNEY MUAHAHAHAHA IM A *****!!”

no. she doesnt.

she probably heard about the pics and was like, “oh crap.. how OLD are those???”

she clearly didnt even remember that she did that once but now….

she has been reminded in an AWEFUL way and i truly feel sorry for her

Zac, please… stand by her. Be her rock. She needs YOU more than anyone right now

Vanessa is so adorable ! :D awwww!

“The free stuff? How Selfish!”

Selfish? How is getting free stuff selfish !? COME ON. If you got free stuff you’d be pretty happy about it too :D

LMAOO TYRA IS FRICKIN HILARIOUS! xD vanessa sings really good

She doesn’t need Zac as her rock. She has Jesus now, remember?? LOL

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

READ THIS NOW:

“MUAHAHAHAHA IM A FILTHY LIAR… IM SAYING THAT I AM A GOOD ROLE MODEL BUT IM REALLY NOT BECAUSE THREE YEARS AGO I TOOK A PICTURE OF MYSELF NAKED!!!! MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHA”

no she doesnt

btw, jj, i’ve been meaning to tell you that i love the term “loveship” rings!!!!!

thanks for posting.

for some reason I can’t see the show =[ I really want to see it!

vanessa looks so pretty.
that was funny when tyra
was v’s date.hey vanessa got to be
the prome qeen.yay go vanessa!!

so what if it was pre-recorded?

“It’s easy to stay out of those situations. You just have to be smart about your decisions.”

she still made a dumb decision, and past or current - it still happened. what a hypocrite. she knew she had a career building and she was gonna get famous, so how can you say that she didn’t know it would affect her?

and some of the things that Lindsay or Britney did wasn’t meant for the whole world to see, but we still saw them. there’s no excuse for Vanessa.
