Here’s some more scoopage on Disney darling Vanessa Hudgens’s interview with Cosmogirl via ET.

Apparently in the middle of the interview, costar boyfriend Zac Efron walks in. The interviewer writes, “When [Vanessa] sees Zac, she runs over and they kiss, oblivious to the dozen of us in the room. She rubs his stomach, he puts his arm around her — these gestures say more than any statement she could make.”

Vanessa, 19, also shared her viewpoint on love: “If you really love someone, you shouldn’t have to work at it. You finish each others’ sentences and have the same sense of humor… You have to think it through, not just do something spur of the moment. So that after it happens you won’t regret it. I think girls can be infatuated with their boyfriends and they have to remember [to put themselves] first.”

Ms. Hudgens also featured in the new Sears campaign, new Ecko site and Neutrogena meet-and-greet contest.

Vanessa Hudgens is featured in the August 2008 issue of CosmoGirl. Check out her interview to see what a day in the life of Vanessa is like and what her and boyfriend Zac Efron are really like.

Newsweek also did a (stupid) interview with Vanessa. (It’s the same interviewer who was completely unprofessional with Clay Aiken.) Here are some excerpts:

“HSM” director Kenny Ortega once told me you and Zac Efron started dating on the first “High School Musical,” and I don’t think I’ve ever heard that story. And I’m going to keep it that way.

You’re not going to tell me? No. Only because I don’t want to talk about it. It might hurt the relationship. That’s something I have to myself.

So, is it hard to go on dates? No. We do what we want.

Are the reports true that Zac doesn’t like to shower? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Whoever came up with that is completely idiotic.

Because when I met him, he smelled perfectly fine. He showers! He showers! ­Believe me, he does.

Every day? Yes! Of course.
