The star cutie of the popular Disney-produced "High School Musical" is embarrassed. Vanessa Anne Hudgens, 18, apparently took a nude picture (NSFW) of herself for her boyfriend and it showed up on the Internet. Imagine that.
Although there is confirmation of the authenticity of the picture from publicist Jill Fritzo, a large number of people believe it is a fake. Check out the comment thread at perezhilton.com for examples. The picture (NSFW) is posted there also."It is unfortunate that this has become public," an unnamed rep for the 18-year-old singer/actress said in a statement released to Us Weekly.
The picture appears to have been taken in a bedroom or on-set production trailer. Standing and pulling her hair back with one hand, a smiling Hudgens shares the frame with a bed, a wooden dresser -- and nothing else.
"This was a photo which was taken privately," Hudgens' representative said in the statement, confirming the authenticity of the first leaked picture.
Disney hasn't commented yet. Presumably, there is some consternation regarding the impact of the picture on Disney's historic squeaky-clean reputation. It would be logical to assume that Vanessa Hudgens' future opportunities with Disney are in doubt. Even if she stays with Disney, the bosses will view her differently. Heh.
That said, Hudgens' picture may have advanced her entertainment career via other avenues. The instant boost in celebrity doesn't hurt. After all, how many more people know her name today versus yesterday. And there will always be promoters in the entertainment industry to advance the ambitions of young, provocative women.
Lastly, let's not forget that Vanessa Williams was stripped of her beauty pageant crown for appearing nude in a men's magazine and, guess what? She's an international star these days.
