Vanessa Hudgens Sings With The Grinch
Vanessa Hudgens made her first appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday. They showed a clip of a 9-year-old Vanessa performing as Cindy Lou at a local production of “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” in San Diego, Calif.
Adorable, no?
The 19-year-old High School Musical star also talked about her very first role in theater: “I auditioned for the Hunchback of Notre Dame and I wanted to be Esmeralda because that’s the girl part. I thought I could get it. But I actually got Quasimodo, the hunchback. So, I walked around with the hunchback and the crazy makeup.”
When asked if she had strict parents, Vanessa shared, “They weren’t that bad. They supported me and let me do acting. I must admit, I did get my mouth washed out with soap once. I actually, still to this day, don’t know why. I must have did something really wrong. I was 4-years-old, I don’t even know I said wrong… I honestly don’t really remember the taste.”

Vanessa jest super xD
love her
i’d seen the video of the interview, wow, she really carried herself very well, she has grown a lot, very nice personality. i can imagine her and zac together, always having a good laugh, she seems to have that bubbly character, that you never get bored being with. And i remember zac saying in one interview, that he wants somebody who is so easy to talk to……….. no wonder they stick together, they seem to be match in heaven……..so perfect. i hope they will stay and stick together. And by the way, Vanessa is so beautiful in this outfit, everything.
she is great :*

awww. she’s so hella cute! (:
SHEE LOOKINNGGGGG SEXXYYYYYYYYY ZAC YOUR SOO
LUCKY YOU GOT SUCH A HOT GIRL FRIEND!!!!!!
SHEEE SOOOOO FINEE!!!!!!
I was so upset that I couldn’t watch the Leno show …….sorry, the SOX were on!!!! BUt, what a great interview!! She looked gorgeous, and Jay and Terry seemed to have fun with her! Very cute! And the clip of her, which I’d never seen, is JUST adorable!!! What a voice.
Abbey, honey, you need to move on. It’s not healthy to dwell on things like that!! Forgive and forget…….everyone deserves a second chance, especially young teens. We’d all be smoke if no one believed in us, or gave us a chance to redeem ourselves. Vanessa’s handled her adversity with such grace, and poise……..in front of the world. You should be so mature.
she funny haha
It’s funny how people always find something bad to say about her and make up stories that have been told thousands of times and they just repeat them over and over again when we all know they’re not true cause there are some positive stories about her with PROOF..negative stories don’t have proof,I wonder why that is..those are just words..I look at action..and what I see is a wonderful woman who’s grown up so much..she forgave herself and she wants to build a serious career being so beautiful,funny and nice as she is.
Keep going,Vanessa..it doesn’t matter what these people say..you know the truth and that’s ok.
aaaaawwwwwwww shes so cute and adorable
aThony? YOU are such a jealous liar and loser. If she is so talentless, why do you want her autograph so bad?
You SUCk!!
V RULES!!
I thought Vanessa was GREAT in this interview!!! She was gorgeous (OMG), funny, sweet, and just sparkled with personality!! I was so proud of her, remembering how she had to cancel last year’s appearance. Our girl has come SOOO far, and has become a beautiful woman!!! It’s amazing watching her bloom!!!!
From where her SHOES and DRESS ???!?!?!?!??!??!
vanessa very sweet, a charm
vanessa leslunbrante in black dress
vanessa with their legs maravolhosas, zac you are a man of very lucky
vanessa wonderful
she is so cute!
nice………………..
she is so cute.
Oh gosh! Love, love, love, this girl! Can I keep her?!
How adorable and cute was she, singing so beautifully as Cindy Lou? I want to steal her and run!
She looked sleek and utterly stunning in the interview and was so adorable…’ I…I don’t wanna lie’, that part was hilarious!
I loved that even though she is generations away from Jay and Terry, she could interact with them so confidently and pleasantly.
I keep replaying this clip in between work. What a lady! We’re slowly seeing her warm, compelling and entertaining personality emerge from her shell.
Yeah she’s a late developer that’s why people tend to underestimate her. She is not one of those that burst in and burst out with much fanfare rather she is the one who emerges slowly but is more enduring.
Omg anthony, hasnt ur mom thought u that if you dont have anything nice to say dont say it..
Gawd.. these people will be MORE famous than you will ever be.
And besides if u hate them soooo much why do you even post a comment about them? It shows that u wud actually spend time to write something about them
Who’s the hypocrite now?
BODOH!
Yup, Beautiful, stunning, gorgeous, vivacious and her 9 yr old self so so adorable and voice so angelic. I can only describe her personality as bubbly and warm. No wonder Zac is so into her. She was so natural and I’m sure Terry and Jay found her so entrancing. This is the Vanessa we love.
love her!
LAME
how dumber could she get
dont u guys get it?
this is all a act just so people actually like her
shes a big ***** in life with fat ugly legs
she should throw herself in the dumpster
since it looks like her= GARBAGE
TEAM TIZZY ALL THE WAY
She’s so beautiful.
SHE LOOK STUNNING LIKE ALWAYS!!!!!aww that grinch clip was so cute….her voice is so amazing!!!SHE ROCKS
vanessa was a pretty little girl and was cute playing in the grinch. vanessa was great on Jay Leno and I can’t wait for High School Musical 3.
I LOVE YOU VANESSA!
im so glad she is all smiling again. she deserves more credit then most of you give her,she is an amazing actress and she has an AMAZING voice. you people need to stop looking at the past that was a mistake and move on. if you give her a chance youll see what an amazing girl she is. she is beautiful and a very talented person,just wish she could go to bigger movies. i saw one comment on here talking about how you dont like her cause she wouldnt sign an autograph for you. would you if someone was waving paper all in your face? i dont think so. and you people that say she needs zac is a lie. i think she was more famous before she was with zac to tell you the truth but she is still high up there. vanessa is amazing and if you dont think so then dont read or look at her things on here,you negative people are the ones we DONT need in this world.
KEEP ROCKIN VANESSA.
<3
she is great, really amazing, no wonder zac loves her. i can see her real personality in that interview, no dull moment at all.
and by the way, i am a fan of zanessa BIG TIME.
Well I can’t deny it, But I love her. :D
And Those N*de pix she Tooks Just Shows She’s Being Herself & Not pretending 2 be something she’s not. Well You guys can hate on her all You want, I’ll always Support her. Kauze Its better 2 be Hated for what You are, Then 2 be loved for what your not. :P

I LOVE HER!!!!
she looks great and has an amazing voice even at nine years old.
“my wife would add about 50 ft of bungee cord” haha i laugheddd hes funnny and i love him =)
Way to go V! I love this interview! You were lovely, poised, easygoing and adorable. Forget your detractors. They pretty much spew the same recycled garbage everytime which leads them nowhere anyways. Whilst you V have definitely bounced and have come a long way!
Her hair looked awful, her attempt to crack jokes were lame and she acted like a stupid little 13yr. old. She maybe growing up but she has obviously not received the memo that she is supposed to be maturing and provide a more grown-up response.
the best part was when he introduced her she hardly got any applause at all. thank god she was only on for a few minutes at the end of the show because she brings noting but a bobble head image to the tv and her cutesy nonsense is boring.
#9 u dont know her in person n #14 she was prob busy n has already found work after hsm so shut it
she’s so CUTE
LOVE HER
i saw the interview she’s so ADORABLE
SHE’S THE BEST
AND I LOVE HER DRESS AND the way she looked so GOREGUS
i love her
Time to close the book on her. Unless she has more unsavory pictures for the internet she is toast in Hollywood. she just sounds so immature and annoying. the excerpt from HSM3 looked very uninteresting and so is she.
Won’t be wasting my money on that one.
she’s so amazing.
Does anyone really care about Vanessa Hudgens the soon to be next great washed up internet star ? Must make her gay boyfriend very proud of her.
Boring. but I must admit she sounded great as a young kid singing. Too bad her voice has not grown much and now she sounds just mediocre.
amazing, she is AMAZING!
That dress is beautiful…I wish I were her stylist. I love it better when her hair is straight, it makes her look sophisticated. Anyway….I love that she was one of the little girls from Hooville. What a beautiful voice she had then….I like her music, and sometimes, she does annoy me…but, other than that, I like her sense of style and fun.
By the way all you HSM fans…there is an interview with Corbin Bleu in the November issue of Teen Vogue…Rachel Bilson is on the cover. I’m too lazy to scan and download the picture…but check it out.
her dress definitely suits her, she is always elegant. how come some people are trying to put her down, she did very well at her age, she is getting the reward of her hard work and perseverance, she is already there, she is very famous. i think a lot a people are very jealous of her………………………….. a nobody, with no showbiz connections …………………………..but make it BIG because she got what it takes. Bless her and Zac.
vanessa is beautiful
Zac and Vanessa have other movies that are coming out after HSM 3…and Ashley’s working on a new album as well as have another movie coming out…Monique just ran a marathon….Lucas has a movie out, or is coming out sometime soon…Corbin is working on his album…These actors were doing other types of films before HSM and I don’t think they’ll be pigeon holed because of this Disney production…I think it will open doors for other opportunity for them all.
Will any of you be in NYC when they come here…I want to go to the Premiere on the 24th…as well as see them on Regis & Kelly…let me know if you’re going, we can meet up.
” I…I don’t wanna lie” LOL
that part was hilarious!!!
she so funny and beautiful!!!
love her sooo much!!!
VANESSA ROCKS!!!!
and haters SHUT UP and GET OUT!!!
she’s amazing!!!!
I LOVE YOU VANESSA!!!!!!!
Anthony:
More made up crap!!! One of the things Zac says he loves about her is that she doesn’t get jealous-maybe you need a more honest friend and if your friend told you jump off a building and you’ll live are so naive that you’d do it because they can’t tell a lie.
Make up your own mind in life you’ll be happier
well the jealous one r awake
all i read was, “i wish i was her”
she handled herself well she was funny and
showed that sweet sultery personality and Leno caught
on to that and they were having a blast laughing i loved it
STOP THE PEEP
GOD BLESS YOU VANESSA
DONT FORGET WHAT GOES ARROUND COMES ARROUND
IF YOU DONT LIKE VANESSA THATS OK
WE DONT WAT TO HEAR IT
GO COMMENT ON WHAT YOU DO SUPPORT
Nancy & Keri:
According to Variety she’s already up for other projects (we saw the business meeting shots) also before she was 13 she was working with the like of Ben Kingsley (you know oscar winner “Gandi). She had a growing career before she ever did high school musical.
She’s far from toast - better worry about Zac (whom I adore!!) the streets of hollywwod are paved with pretty boys who’s careers were hot today and dust tomorrow-I think he has a great shot but nothing is guaranteed
you rocks vanessa .. love you ..
aww Vanessa is so
pretty. Zac is so lucky.
OMG she was adorable! That was a nice surprise.. and what are you talking about her hair looked like crap? I love her hair that way. Very sleek and casual but kind of dressy at the same time.

TOO ADORABLE!!
Vanessa was her natural, exuberant self in the interview. Her sweet personality came through. And she was adorable in the Grinch, with a great singing voice even then.
Wish there had been time for Leno to ask her about her future projects, especially the next movie she’s in talks to do as well as what her next single will be.
LOVEEE HER!! that interview was awesome! ^^ can´t wait to november 27th (when the movie will be in my country)
btw, get a life haters! and a boyfriend ¬¬

Love her. Actually, all the stars of HSM had acted before HSM and they all have future films coming out next year. Not that it matters to the “closeted fans” who race to every post to make the same comments Thanks for keeping the count up. We should soon be a over 100.
beautiful vanessa
Ashley Tisdale on Zac and Vanessa:
“Vanessa and Zac are a great couple. We’re all like brothers and sisters on the set so there’s no jealousy about their romance,” Tisdale says. “It’s very sweet to see them so romantic and none of us mind seeing them like this together. They are as much in love off-screen as they are in HSM. There’s such a great chemistry that it is like a fairytale.”
http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=64399&cat=2
linda de mais …perfect…
parabéns Zac tem uma namorada linda e talentosa…
she’s so pretentious. i loved the fake terry football clip.
HSM 3 in fact owes much of its appeal to Efron and Hudgens who, for a couple so young, have amazing screen chemistry.
and I agree…
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24481084-5006024,00.html
She was actually nice in this interview. I liked it.
she came acorss as really…fake in this interview
Vanessa looks beautiful :)
Vanessa looks beautiful :)
# 102, i see it as charming, and spontaneous without being over the top. just her natural fun self.
shes hot. but she doesnt come acorss as very genuine.
ok des no1 else think that she seemed really self centered in this interview???? like , i cdant put my finger on what it is! but its like, we all know shes pretty, but SHE knows it as well. just the way she was sitting and kind of condesending to that all dude when she would like put her hand on his shoulder and stuff. i dunno. im not trying to hate. but thats just how i saw it when i watched it on tv last night. she seems like she was putting on the sweet innocent girl act.
She’s a cutie, “I don’t want to liee” lol
I loved her dress, so gorgeous.
New acces hollywood behind the scenes with hsm3!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUm6v3O2c98
vanessa had a great voice and still has
and she looks stunning
Unbelievably gorgeous, genuine, sweet, and talented. That is what comes to my mind when I hear ‘Vanessa Hudgens’. I am sure she will keep on being her self and she will keep on winning America’s heart. She has grown a lot since those unfortunate pictures making her an extremely mature young woman representing, realistically and with experience, what it is to raise you head up high when you mess up. I think she is a better role model than those clean cut teenage girls who give empty advise to young girls, not having the minimal idea of what it is having people look at you differently after you’ve messed up, and are always attempting to look perfect in their fans eyes. Vanessa has been trashed talked, hated on and criticized by a lot of people just because she made a mistake when she was young and inexperienced but yet, she manages to come across as undefeated no matter what everyone says. She looks completely unphased by what everyone says and just moves on and keeps on being her sweet and charming self.
-This is in the name of all of the fans that stayed by your side through it all!! WE LOVE YOU, NESSA!!!
I trust a body expert:
http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/Zafan1985/Okmagazinearticle.jpg
I absolutely love her.
She’s beautiful and very talented, and she doesn’t take the crap rumors and media throw at her.
Vanessa has a bubbly personality, great voice, and is plain amazing.
It’s no wonder why she has been able to keep a healthy relationship with Zac. They’re both talented, and are both known for more than just HSM. Major props to Vanessa and Zac.
Hopefully they stay together. :D
she LOKS SO PRETTY
i love her dress
You know what all this “she came across as really fake” stuff is getting really old. Especially since the people who keep saying that refuse to give any concrete example of what she did or said that was “fake.”
No wait someone meantioned last year’s news. Why is so hard to accept the POSSIBILITY that was something she did one time that was not in character and has nothing to do with who she is now?
Jamie how about you start using words that you actually know the meaning to. Until then go back to school and learn some grammar.
omg! She is soooooo pretty!
Luv her!
Ps- I changed my name from blue-eyed girl96 to cheerxgirlx
hey everyone!
i have a rather stupid question that has to do with hsm 3:
do u guys know how many songs there will be? cuz i keep checking on the websites and i get all different numbers..so if anyone knows plz respond!
so cute! she went throught that interview so nicely! i love her soo much! she is becoming such a gracful young lady and she is blooming!
She looked beautiful - the dress was amazing ! She was just herself and not pretending to be anything else….very charming !
68.”better worry about Zac (whom I adore!!) the streets of hollywwod are paved with pretty boys who’s careers were hot today and dust tomorrow-I think he has a great shot but nothing is guaranteed”
Way to throw zac under the bus in favor of giving her a compliment. it’s funny you disclaim that you adore zac and in the same breath call him a pretty boy and casually insinuate that his career may go to “dust” before your jump right back into hypocrite mode that you “think he has a great shot” and like clockwork give another off-color critique that “nothing is guranteed”. you sure have a funny way of adoring him!

SHE IS TOO ADORABLE!! she looks gorgeous!
#121 & #122, anon…
#68 is not insulting Zac, he/she is simple stating a fact. In Hollowood, -past, present, and future- it is true…for most pretty boy or girl…you can be hot today and dust tomorrow. And some made it thru like Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Robert Redford, Steve McQueen, and others. These actors made it are due to the roles that they selected to play, and take many risks like playing real bloody and dirty scenes. I am over 50 years old and have seen hot looking celebrities come and go. It is up to Zac from here on and forward. I am sure all his fans have faith in him.
Vanessa did real good.
anyone that says that ashley is prettier than vanessa is obviously blind, i mean, look at her! drop-dead gorgeous. vanessa fan all the way
I agree with #124. Pretty people come and go in Hollywood and if Zac has a career beyond HSM it will depend on the type of roles he does.(ps: he’s not the only young actor facing this problem)
I think he should not do a the remake of “Footloose”, and should do what Leo did after Titantic which was stay out of the spotlight for a while(letting the heartthrob hoopla die down) and take supporting roles in small movies.
So beautiful!!!!!!!!!
She looks gorgeous!!!!!
I love her dress!!!!!!!!
I love you baby V so much!!!!!!!!!
She stinks! She sounds like a 2yr. old when she talks. Efron needs to dump her. He seems so much more mature then she does.
i love her!
wow isn’t it amazing how all these haters spend at least a minute thinking of something bad to say about vanessa and then typing it? why are they wasting all their time on someone they say they “don’t like”.i’m confused somebody explain why they do it? anyway she looked stunning.and very funny.she looked so cute when she was 9 (lovin her expression when she said she was 9 lol). xoxo
Zac also needs to stay away from “Hairspray 2″ if he wants to get beyond the “Song and Dance Guy” image.
Thanks to those of you who had the knowledge to understand what I meant in my previous post about pretty boys.
And for all you vanessa haters you’re opinion doesn’t seem to hurting her career any.
124
re-read my comment, i never said 68 was insulting anyone, i said they had a funny way of showing their adoration for zac.
i get what you’re saying thoughbut if you really believe what you said that “for most pretty boy or girl…you can be hot today and dust tomorrow” then it also applies to vanessa NOT just zac. it seemed like the original comment we’re talking about was implying he might not make it based on “pretty boy” looks, even saying to “worry” about his career, in favor of complimenting vanessa and that didn’t seem fair and that is what i was addressing. if that’s the case then spread it across the board-vanessa is pretty too so i guess she may also be in the dust? i just think if you comment that looks is something to watch out for, then be fair and spread that idea equally. obviously i could be wrong and realize that, but that was the feeling i got from it. i actually don’t see where their looks is a bad thing- they have gorgeous faces. why say one needs to worry to make a point about the other?
i’m not 50 but i understand that celebs come and go-whether they have nice looking faces or not.
Anon…
#68 is not a hater…#68 appears to be HSM supporter and fans. Yes, the fact of pretty boy and girl statement does applies for both Zac and Vanessa, as well as any other Hearthrob celebrities.
Both Zac & Vanessa are considered “pretty” . If you are going to start making predictions and make comments that say people should start worrying about someones career based on looks then it applies to Zac AND Vanessa. To ” zaccarra” you are obviously not a hater but hollywood is filled with a bunch of pretty faces for girls that are here one day on gone the next. You can’t use that to only apply to Zac because it is not exclusive to guys.
Zac is a nice, mature, down to earth, talented guy. He is still here for more than his looks and will continue to be. A long healthy career for anyone can be filled with some not so great roles and etc so even if he did hs2(hope not) it won’t destroy him.
The same goes to Vanessa, she is a sweet, bubbly, real and also talented girl. Just because some people want her to a passing Disney fad doesn’t mean she will be.
Neither Zac or Vanessa have some one up on each other in terms of surviving after hsm. They both have done some great things unrelated to hsm and BOTH will continue to do so. They will both have to work hard and make good choices, which I think they have shown that they will.
Defending Vanessa is fine but it can be done without trying to undermine Zac and vice versa.
luv u vanessa!!!!!!!
#132,
I get where you are coming from. I think why the original comment implied that Zac should worry is that he stands in greater danger of being typecast and stereotyped than Vanessa.
If you check back, this tends to happen mostly to guys because the screaming population tend to be teen girls who are fickle and are always looking for the next poster boy.
I think Zac is talented and has a lot of potential but his stardom unfortunately now is based on his ‘hotness’ and appeal to teen girls. He really needs to take roles that would take him out of that demographic, roles in which his talent would not be overshadowed by his looks or sex appeal.
As for Vanessa, while she also of course needs to be careful about her roles, she’s not exactly facing the same situation Zac is facing as people have less expectations from her.
And honestly, you rarely have poster girl roles in movies as teen girls would go for the guys. her own danger would be in doing disney type films with characters like gabby but so far with her movie choices, she’s shown that she’s veering from that. she’s playing a dark and off the wall role in her next film.
Also. her scandal realigned her fanbase, she shed a lot of the fickle teen ones who moved on to the other disney stars and gained a lot of older fans who would actually stay with her even if she moves to indie films or non-glamourous roles.
She’s always been the outsider in disney as well, the disney princesses are Ashley and Miley and the new ones which has helped her as her fanbase is largely independent of disney.
For instance, Zac has a much larger fanbase than Vanessa, why did she win teen choice female hottie and he didn’t win the male one, because new poster boys, the Jonas brothers had arrived and the teen girls had moved to them. That’s the danger of being a teen idol.
Having said that, I like Zac’s role choice in MAOW, that is the right direction and with the right film choices, he definitely would have longevity. However, he needs to loose the poster boy image and the tween fans.
To do that he might have to take smaller and grittier roles and work his way up from there.
More musicals or romantic comedies would not be the way at all.
Vanessa had have always a great talent that’s all that i can say of the video with the Grinch
and omg she is so nice I love her, i think she has a awesome personality and is so funny
oh god!
she is beatiful
i won’t get tired to say this
i love you vanessa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she did great, she looked gorgeous as per usual.
she was really personable, funny, && that Cindy Lou Who video was just about the most adorable thing i’ve seen in awhile.
loved it.
thanks Jared
wow nice interview and wow she had a great voice at nine!
#36<———-SHUT UP!!!
Vanessa is BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS (with or without make up)
She is talented and sexy!
OH JOE JONAS IS BETTER (or hotter) THAN zac efron (gay but cute)
Naomi, profound thoughts again. I do agree that when the scandal broke Vanessa inadvertently ( for the better) found herself with a different class of fans, the mature, understanding, compassionate, maternal/paternal kind who admired her resilience and family values and recognised her for what she is , human. These are the type of fans who will steadfastly support her along the rocky road to establishing herself as a bonafide actress and entertainer.
And I agree that it has been even harder for her to prove herself even though she has natural talent given the prejudices surrounding her and her background unlike the rest of the Disney Princesses and Princes who have had regular roles on television.
Whatever the debate going on this thread, it is interesting to read the differing points of view without the usual “sucks, ugly, lame, w ho re, gay, fake” comments amongst others and that we are not blinded by the fickle entertainment industry but are just voicing our fears and hopes for Vanessa and Zac.
#142 is me, Naomi, incase you didn’t know. It amazes me why my moniker always comes out in blue no matter the change.
Sorry, again, 142 and 143 is me, Boji
I always loved her alot but now I love her even more and I’ll never stop loving her no matter what these nasty haters say .
#142- She still has alot of younger fans!
Btw, In my la class we have 2 do reports on famous celebs and guess who I got??!!!! Vanessa Hudgens! Four other ppl wanted her, but i got her! At first I got angelina jolie, but then I choose Vanessa instead! I’m gonna b able to do some fun research for the next 4 days!
Good for you cheerxgirlx, and please do a thorough job on your research and make us proud.
Another thing is please stick to this name, it is hard to keep up with your name change.
i love you vanessa
SHE is soo GORGEOUS. wow a talent back when she nine…and still one now!!!
zanessa stay strong.
110: i agree with you 110%!!
Nessa ia a wayyy better role model than that “clean” other disney girls *cough.selena.gomes.cough* that’s why V is my #1 role model!!
VANESSA ROCKS!!!!!!
i dont think zac will loose his carrer and neither will vanessa!!
they are both talented and all the directors want them in their movies.
and all of the movies that zac has done has been a hit and so has vanessa’s both CDs.
so no need to worry about. they know what they’re doing!
and btw, there is NO hairspray 2.
Vanessa is the best!!!!
LOVE HER!!!!
Naomi:
Thank you . The syndrome I was trying to describe (before others took offense) happens mostly to boy idols not girls. That’s why I said Zac and not Vanessa-she will face her own hills and valleys but is actually helped by the fact that she is NOT a DIsney princess so that stigma (and as you mature it is a stigma in many areas of the business) won’t be attached to her.
For Zac he’s going to have to find a way to shake the image like Johnny Depp and Leo Di Caprio. For Depp he went to smaller indie roles with better characters to show off his chops. For Leo he took the grittier, edgier and more controversial roles.
And you were right the teenie audience is fickle the Jonas Bros. cames along and they are the new hotties and there will be someone after them.
I was not saying Zac can’t do it I think he will. I was just pointing out that his road may be more tenuous than hers because of his “Teen Idol” label.
people why are you so concerned about their carrers?
I love both of them to death, and i know that they know what they’re doing and they are gonna choose great roles in other movies and even though they have ALOT of tween fans they have ALOT of older fans too!
so that really good for them!!
let’s just support them through it all!!!
LOVE VANESSA AND ZAC 4EVER!!!!
CANT WAIT FOR HSM3!!!!!
and btw Ashley is NOT a disney princess. the disney princess in Miley and next will be…. unfortunetly… Selena. (sorry guys, but i just can’t stand her.)
btw LOVE VANESSA!!! SHE ROX!!!

They’ll both be fine.
Boji your name comes out in blue beacuse you put in a website. That creates a link through your name.
Yo peeps.
Firstly, I�d like to say that all your Zanessa lovers rock! Secondly, I�d like to tell all you Zanessa haters to get the hell out of this website. It�s a fansite for Vanessa, so go bug someone else.
Abbey, you need to let go of your rigid mindset. Vanessa wonâ��t take naked pics again. She’s over that, she’s matured, she’s grown into a better person, and that nude incident was a one time thing, something out of her character. Give her some credit; sheâ��s not dumb.
ASHLEYROCKS_VANESSAsucks, you�re just my favourite person in the world, you know that? Hell, if whatever Vanessa was being like in the interview was fake, then Ashley�s even faker. Ew. I don�t believe you. For some reason, you must stare at Vanessa�s legs for long periods of time to know that her legs are fat and ugly. Stalker much? I bet you have fat and ugly legs. Ha, if she�s garbage, what are you? The sewage system badly flushed? You�re messing with the wrong people so get the hell off his forum. Ashley news can�t be found here.
Keri, if her hair looked awful, yours must look like a tornado hit you. Huh, what happened to your open-mindedness? Celebrities don�t have to be funny, in your way, to be good people. Everyone is allowed to act like a teenager once in a while, and you�re saying that all the 13 year olds are generally immature. Bad assumption. If she�s not mature enough for you, lower your standards. Do you know how big a hypocrite you are? Watching her on the show though you don�t like her?
Nancy, you�re annoying and immature. If Vanessa was plagued by those faults you have, the world would come to an end. I bet she�s more interesting than you anyday.
Hi lola. Zanessa is not fake. They�re not virtual, they�re not unreal. They are living people, together, so I think you ought to respect that. They are not manufactured goods made from Disney either, so get with the programme.
Hey Jamie. Maybe you need to recheck the definition of pretentious in the dictionary.
Amber, what do you mean by �actually nice in this interview�? Vanessa�s nice in all her interviews!
Tia, Vanessa does not need to conform her personality to fit yours, because whatever her personality is, you�d probably think it�s fake anyway.
Ella, just because you think that Vanessa knows she�s pretty doesn�t mean that it�s her ego. It could be high self-esteem, which, in my book, is not a bad thing. She�s famous; she has to boost herself up to rise to everything she does. OK, how would you want her to sit? Cross her legs? Sit on the floor? Feet apart? Seriously, she can sit however she wants. Most stars sit like that! You might as well tell every star that she/he is self-centred because he/she sits like that. She was being nice when she placed her hand on his shoulder. I don�t think you would put your hand on his shoulder. Sweet innocent girl act? I�m telling you that if she did put on that act, it�s because she can�t be anything other than it. Seriously, tell me, if she put on the bad girl sassy act, what would happen to the audience? Flame her, bash her, everything negative. You would hate her more. You tell me; is it fair to judge her like that? Despite common views, superstars don�t get to do everything they want. Like being themselves, if themselves is not too good. A normal who smokes � you�re fine with that. But if Vanessa Hudgens suddenly started smoking, you would make a huge deal out of it, wouldn�t you?
Tim, you sound like a one-year-old when you write. Don�t be so hypocritical to Vanessa, because you�re not much better. Hah, let Efron date whoever he wants. Stop disillusioning yourself that you�re a wonderful fan of Efron if you can�t accept that he wants to date Vanessa. By hating Zac�s dating choice, you hate people he likes, which translates into you being jealous and thus hating Zac indirectly.
Yeah, so everyone who loves Vanessa, you guys rock! :)
hey everyone!
i have a rather stupid question that has to do with hsm 3:

thx to whoever does!
i love zac and vanessa

Vanessa’s gorgeous!! Adorable! REALLY!!!!
people should stop predicting what is going to happen with their careers, for me, as long as they are together, that is what matter most, nobody can tell what the future holds, but i wish them luck.
she’ so Good in that interview.
i love Her
God Bless V.
and thanks to Jay Leno.
after all those bad things happened
Vanessa Made it again
Love you Vanessa God Bless.
I enjoyed this interviewed so much!!
Vanessa wowed me with her charm, wit, elegance, beauty and how she was able to interact with Terry and Jay.
The memory down lane with the clip of her singing at a play when she was 9yo, is absolutely adorable!! loved her pretty voice, wish we could see more of of her previous plays when she was little.
I could say that all through the whole of her was awesome and fun. Kudos to her!
I can’t wait for Zac’s turn.
Vanessa did a fantastic job on this interview. She has poise , confidence, a great sense of humor, intelligence, and natural talent. It all shined thorough in this segment on Leno. Love her sunny personality .
From Mirror of UK: not really reliable but still cute:
I met up with with squeaky clean Disney actor Zac Efron at the High School Musical 3 premiere and asked how it’s all going with co-star and real-life girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens.
He confided: “The best thing about these trips is travelling with Vanessa. We have so much fun.”
He said also said that they are off on a holiday soon, adding: “It’s my birthday next week and then I plan to go away with Vanessa.”
Definitely sounds like young love. Bless.
Vanessa is going to be on the Ellen Degeners show, according to TV Guide.

it’s on 24th of october btw xD lol
shes the cutest thing ever she such a great idol to me!! i love her and zanessa!!! woooo!!
That could have a ring of truth to it about traveling with Vanessa for one Zac has always said that they have so much fun togrther and much as evident in Swedn they looked amazing but then we all know it changed.
And the going away part could also have aring of truth to it as for the last two promo dates for hsm3 is just vanessa and zac and with australia they will be gone for a week one of the longest dates of the whole tour, now before anyone says it yes I know they are going to promote hsm3 but seeings as it’s for a whole week it could also be turned into a holiday as I dare say they won’t spend the whole week promoting hsm3 and will find time to get out and about knowing full well that is Aussie they won’t get botheed when they’re on their own personal time, so I say good luck to them.
Lookingofrward to seing new photo’s fromthe remaining promo’s and seing the other members of the cast too.
#168- Thats soooo cute!! I hope its true!
what a great girl vanessa is.
SHE ROCKS!!!
zac is soo HOT!!!
and vanessa is so GORGEOUS!!!
LOVE THEM!!
LOOK GUYS
They Have What Zac Said About Traveling With Vanessa Being Fun And He Plans To Go Away With Her After His Birthday.
Hope It Is True :D
