Vanessa Hudgens - “Seventeen” February 2008

Wed, 02 January 2008 at 9:28 pm

Vanessa Hudgens is the cover girl for the February 2008 issue Seventeen magazine.

Here are some great snippets from the High School Musical’s revealing interview:

How are you feeling about the [nude picture] scandal? I’m much better now. But truthfully I don’t like talking about it. It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn’t anymore, I’d still like to keep it as private as I can. It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened. I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions. But I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for my family, friends, and fans, who supported me all along the way.

Who told you the photos had been leaked? I found out from my manager. We heard some story was going to break in the tabloids, and I was like, What?!? A few days later, the picture came out while I was on vacation in Australia. Thank God, I wasn’t home–it would have sucked if I was at home. So I got to be away from L.A. for about a millisecond. But when I came back, it got kind of crazy.

How did you explain the situation to your mom? I was just open with her, and she was just so cute. She was like, “Well, everyone can be naked if they want to.” [Laughs] My parents are very supportive of me. And they know I’m a teenager, and yes, kids do stupid things sometimes. It’s very unfortunate because with the Internet these days, you don’t have a personal life. Nothing is private: Everyone knows everything, and they can find out everything about you. You’re not as safe as you think you are, and you have to be aware of the people you’re around.

It’s great that Zac stood by you through all this. To you, what’s the best thing about him? He always makes me happy. He literally knows exactly what to do to make me laugh.

Do you ever think about the future with Zac? No. It’s fun having a boyfriend. He’s a friend and a cute friend who you like. It’s nice. But only time will tell. I’m still young, and I have my girlfriends and I have my family. I think that it’s definitely important to have balance. I think girls can be sucked into the relationship and give too much. They like to be so into their boyfriends, you know? And you can’t do that, because you get too infatuated–and then you lose contact with your friends. It happens to a lot of girls.

alot of mommas do say it’s ok.. When they take pictures/ videos of their preschooler in the bathtub or when they laugh and take pictures/videos of their little ones that have decided to take off all their clothes and run around the house naked.

Then these same momas say awwweee, let’e send these to grandma, grandps, aunt and uncle so and so, I bet they would love to see it. Thus the pictures/videos go out in the mail or email and the little ones wait for their relatives and family friends to say how cute they were/are.

So yes, with kids being sponges and absorbing everything, their mothers were in a sense telling them that it was ok.

That to me is the greater of the 2 evils when weighed against the one photo that vanessa took and never intended to get out.
