Vanessa Hudgens: Zac Efron is Doing Okay!

Vanessa Hudgens dishes on music, movies and boyfriend Zac Efron to ABC’s Good Morning America Radio. Here are some of the highlights from her interview:

On how she felt when the photos first hit the Internet: “I think people thought I took it lighter than I really did. For me, it was really tough because I’m a private person and for something like that at to happen, it’s so mean. It’s just a horrible thing. It sucks. But thankfully it’s over and it’s in the past.”

On who leaked her nude photos: “Stupid people.”

On how her relationship is with Zac Efron: “It’s good, thank you.”

Sorry, I meant HAVE a great time together !

zac once mentioned what an honor it is to have older fans. in fact, it is the older fans who will follow his career through 17 again, maow and other adult movies. the older fans will not leave him behind when he no longer plays the role of troy bolten.

the younger fans will transfer their adoration to the jonas brothers or the next popular item of the day/month/year that comes along.

zac is wise enough to know that.

#289–Naomi:

I agree with you. There are hate posters here who just want to get something started and want attention. Many of us posters who have been around for a while recognize this and usually stay away from those people. But once in a while there are subject that need to be addressed if for no other reason but because there are very young posters here who are impressionable and they need to read what is true and those questionable people need to be kicked off many time through the use of the “report abuse” option.

The posters who write things that are ugly but are just ill-informed also need to have clarity at times in what they have written. this also helps promote truth and fact to get out there to the public which I’m sure Vanessa and Zac appreciate.

Yes, there are times where situations go a little too far but that does happen when emotions are running high. Many of us, though, back off when we find that has happened but we will not allow out and out lies to reign. Some stupid stuff goes by without comment because those type posts are so ridiculous and have been done so many times that it is the poster who is making themselves look foolish, we don’t need to bother.

Lastly. I don’t think Zac and Vanessa spend a lot of time on these sites but I do think Vanessa, particularly, will check them out from time to time. She has said in the past she checked certain sites out everyday. Then after so many false things started being printed she says she didn’t spend her time doing that so much because there was so much out in the world to see and do. Females are more curious about certain things and so I think she still checks things out. I would not be at all surprised if Zac did not bother—typical guy thing and he never did it much anyway according to him. Vanessa even told Jared(yes, our JJ) that she didn’t want him to print anything bad about her because she would be checking. SO, I’d say she still does take a peek.

A good evening to everyone, it’s morning here for me.

To Tg #285, as Naomi has said we know Zac and Vanessa appreciate their fans irrespective of age,race or religion. Time and again, they have acknowledged their fans in interviews and speeches.

As to adding fuel to the fire, you have a valid point here. However, in replying to these haters we are also being informative and educating the rest of the readers. Besides, there’s nothing like giving a good and constructive argument to get the adrenaline pumping and the reading more interesting.( My opinion) And, I must say we have some pretty good reading here provided by the fans.

I have noticed and I’m sure many of you too that Vanessa’s fan posters has steadily grown on JJ’s site over this couple of months and continues to grow. I don’t even have to mention Zac as he has already been well known from his Summerland series.

The way I see it is Hollywood Records has definitely underestimated Vanessa’s popularity and there is a drastic shortage of supply’
Like V-loyalist, Naomi and Midnightwonder, I’m from another country, Malaysia. I’m hesitant in ordering online because of credit card fraud. And so I have to patiently wait and bug the music stores untill I finally get ahold of her hardcopy album even if it takes me another month or so. I want to savour it when it comes and am downplaying my current listening for that moment.

love vanessa

Evening Karen,

It does rile me up when confronted with some of the horrible things the hate posters say and conjure. And yes, it makes me oh so mad so much so that I would like to knock some sense into their heads.

Happiness is knowing that Zac and Vanessa has done a wonderful job of keeping their holiday private away from prying eyes, unlike so many other celebs. I suspect the Disney Company has had a hand in this. To all the posters who say their relationship is fake and for publicity only, I say, in your Face. This is proof enough.

Well said, Boji.

Hiding away from the prying eyes of paps for SEVEN AND A HALF DAYS in a private location is certainly NOT the way to publicize a relationship.

My my, Seven and a half days! How time flies by.

Saw the extended version on ET of the hsm3 preview. Just loved the moment of Zac singing at the Basketball game and Vanessa responding from the stand. So touching, just put me into the moment. Makes me want more. Am going to buy the DVD for keepsake. If the rest of the songs are anything like ‘Now or Never’, I’d say, Awsome!

I wonder if they have slept together yet??? Probably

i love you vanessa
zanessa is beautiful

Z&V fan #310, No. Didn’t you know they have Purity rings just like the rest of the Disney Clan. There’s your answer. Disney Stars do not have sex, they just hold hands and blow kisses and profess their undying love and dance and sing when they do this and live happily ever after in La La land.

So she says in her recent interview that the “pictures” were released by someone stupid. Honey, you are the stupid one for taking them in the first place…….you are responsible for this happening you little tramp.

God I hate all the publicity this talentless chick gets. Her new album stinks and I read the reviews from major critics who agree. And I quote: ” Her voice is weak at best and she’s shown no growth or progress since her last album”.

can’t wait until she fades into oblivion with her sissy boyfriend.

Her album tanked. I hope people can see now that she is a real nobody.

amo a V!!!!!!!!! su cd es hermosoooo!!! me encanta!! estamos esperando que salga en latinoamerica!!!!!!

#313, #314, and #315 I’m responding to you all under one heading because you’re the same person. No I don’t think ALL haters are the same person but when you suddenly get three identical posts in under ten minutes that raises a red flag.

“Point 1: When has Vanessa EVER said she wasn’t responsible? She apologized taking the pictures IMMEDIATELY and admitted it was a mistake in her interview in “Seventeen” magazine. It wasn’t meant to be public, Someone leaked it to cause her embarrassment. That’s pretty “stupid:” in my opinion.

“Point” 2: On the contrary there is a site called Metacritic that tracks critical resonse in variouis media (books, movies, music etc), anythng over 60 is considered mostly favorable. “Idenitified:” scored a 65.

I find ironic that you say the CD “stinks and major music criticts agree.” because a) I don’t believe for a nanosecond you’ve listented to it. b) And you quote an obscure source. I’ve read the review in question and I wouldn’t even call it negative it was mixed overall.

I’ve read several reviews and the critical consensus seems to be that “identified” is a good but not great CD.

“Point” 3: It’’s true that “numbers don’t lie” but in this case they may not be telling the story that haters like you insist they are.

I’ve heard several stories that back up the possiblity that the CD was undershipped. Several posters have said that their stores ran out ouf copies within the first couple of days. I went to two stores and the first one was out of “Identiified,” the second store had ONE copy left. Which I grabbed.

Now I don’t know a lot about the music business but I know CDs aren’t like movies where their fates are decided the first weekend. So why don’t we see how the CD does over the next month or so before saying it tanked?

I find it interesting that you would call someone who has co-starred in a pop culture phenamon, had a previous CD go certified gold and made the Forbes Highest Paid Celebrity under 25 list before the age of 19 a “real nobody.” Do you never get tired of displayihng your ignorance?

she’s really a talented girl!!!

#313, 314, 315. Here we go again, in little clusters. Birds of a feather flock together. Stupid, stupid people. When are you going to admit it or am I addressing the same poster?

Boji,

In this case you are addressing the same poster. It is obvious in the way all of the posts are written. The sentence structure, etc. Enough said.

Troy:

You said it. People are so desperate to spew hateful things which they think are cleaver that they don’t care if they appear ignorant or not.

why do haters put so much effort in searching for Vanessa’s thread just to comment? Come on, it’s not even on the first page anymore! LOL

#321 That’s an interesting question. One possible answer is that they think that after so many pages that we’ll have said everything we had to say and they can get “the last word,.” If they really think that all I can say is even after all this time they don’t know us very well.

Another possiblity *which I think is more likely* is that they just love Vanessa so doggone much thet they can’t bear bear to see any thread devoted to her die. In that case I do sympathize but they go about it in the wrong way. Poor misguided little lambs. *sigh*

she is so beautiful. too bad she seems so arrogant when she talks, or she’s trying to have something i dont know that sounds innocent and pure while her eyes seem to say she’s not at all this way. im not saying shes a sl*t i mean she does whatever she wants just act more natural.
i like Ashley better she is more… simple.and she did not have to be naked on every screen to learn that send pictures to a boy when you’re famous can only lead to well what happen to V.

anyway, she can do whatever she wants. so gorgeous. nobody can beat that. natural beauty. not so much talented.bad music.weird acting. but very very very beautiful.

vanessa is beautiful
i love zac & vanessa

#323 Happyfeet, now,now, this is a Vanessa thread . There is a very recent Ashley thread, so please just stay there and give her your support. Nobody is comparing Vanessa to Ashley . Why are you going through so much trouble just to post a comment here which is many threads away from Ashley’s? What is this nonsense about innocent and pure. Vanessa never portrayed herself as such. And the best part is that we, fans don’t expect her to be that. It is warped minds like yours who are overly obsessed or should I say fixated with nakedness. Now you are trying to say Ashley is pure and innocent, is it? You have alot of growing up to do,my dear. You are just one of the stupid,stupid people.
