Vanessa Hudgens Sings With The Grinch

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.”

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!

Vanessa’s gorgeous!! Adorable! REALLY!!!!

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!
