Vanessa Hudgens - “Seventeen” February 2008

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.

I LOVE VANESSA SO MUCH! THIS ARTICLE SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH SHE’S GROWN AS A PERSON AND FROM THE PICTURES. SHE’S AMAZING! AND I TOTALLY LOVE HOW SHE WANTS TO BE WHO SHE IS.

the cover pic looks great. she is naturally pretty, not hiding under much make-up. for vanessa good for her, keep your head up high

Tony, seventeen magazine approached the subject of the picture in a classier and less vulgar way then you did.

And even though they asked the question, she had the right not to answer it.

When celebrities are interviewed, they are given the questions beforehand and have the right to eliminate the ones they do not wish to answer.

Thanks for dropping in and saying hi. I hope you new year is going well.

I think I’m going to buy this issue. Thanks Jared

to KAREN!
no problem honey! im jus sooooooo bored its like 5am right now in London and i cant sleep…i watched some scary movie so i cant sleep! i just read your post btw and way to go! Vanessa is lucky to have amazing people like you defend her!!

What an amazing girl . Some of you criticize her just because you can.
Nobody knows who you are so it makes you feel better. It doesn’t
matter what she says because you will always find fault in everything
she does. But I think if you were put on trial for your mistakes, some
of you would deny it, hide from it, or lie. But this girl as hard as it was,
owned up to it and you know even with her apology this interview must
have been very hard. As far as her mother goes I’m sure she was
disappointed but when you have a child that is hurt and crushed in
public humiliation you are not going to hurt them more by making them
feel worse. That is why her Mom used humor . Sometimes that is the only
way to get through these things. Don’t be so judgemental. Karma Baby.

it was more like they interviewed her publicist and not her

Hi audrey *waves* it looks like a great party up there :) going to bed though gnite and have fun :) HOpe you had fun at the concert too!

Tony TT… honestly…. if you stopped posting, I’d really miss you :)

#158

I agree wholeheartedly. The comment by Vanessa’s mom is very telling and goes a long way in explaining why Vanessa is so laidback with regard to the situation. I too hope that her sister and any young girls who may consider her a role model take note of her actions and make better choices for themselves.

long beach @ 01/03/2008 at 12:28 am

narf did you read this part of the interview……
How are you feeling about the [nudee picture] scandal? I’m much better now. But truthfully I don’t like talking about it.??????

But yet she continued to talk about it so either she is a liar or the interviewer was very vulgar and disrespectful what do you think?

tony the tiger @ 01/03/2008 at 12:29 am

i am prepared to admit that she looks very pretty in those photographs…she must be in love!

shes amazing i mean im sooo proud of her i mean wow…and i cant wait for whatever she does i support her 110% and thanx jj for the post just beautifull is this out already im going to go buy it..=)

tony, why is that picture of Vanessa at 15 or 16 so important to you? As you say, it’s your favorite subject…I personally would like to know why.

I heart starsss and tony the tiger lol

I agree with #159 and #191

And tony, some people are so blinded by love they really can’t see bad behavior for what it is–bad behavior–even if it is your favorite celebrity. You still need to be realistic about how young children may see young stars and if their actions are really something shameful.

i love the interview she’s honest that is why a good role model to all the young kids out there. my daughters and grand daughters love her so much and me too.

However, I think Vanessa is going about this well, but her mother’s reaction was inappropriate

Oh long beach, you have already made up your mind, so I think you will believe whatever you want to believe and it doesn’t matter what I or anyone else says.

Like my fellow commentor birdie said (you rock birdie), no matter how she answered the questions, people would have found fault with her.

Great interview Vanessa. Your fans are here for you 100%. Keep moving forward.

.

i think vanessa’s pix look great.

tony the tiger- “I was labelled a psycotic who was the only person in America who still wanted to discuss why and how these pictures happened.”

Uhh DUDE get over it! LOL why are u so obsessed about the pix..if you wanna keep discussing it why don’t you go in L.A. find her and ask her in person. shake her silly until you get your ANSWER! LOLOL
