Vanessa Hudgens Naked! In The Future! Possibly! (Again!)

The High School Musical kids have graduated. And what does that mean? For Zac Efron it means becoming a star in his own right.

For the majority of the other High School Musical cast it means getting a supermarket job and spending day after day waiting for a vague recognition from customers that never comes. And for Vanessa Hudgens it means getting naked and slapping her tits and clodge about with wild abandon in every single film she ever makes.

Really. Vanessa Hudgens said so, “if the movie calls for it.” Which it will, because it’ll almost certainly be porn.

Remember when those naked Vanessa Hudgens photos turned up on the internet? Yes, so do we. It was a much simpler time back then - before Miley Cyrus came along with her adult boyfriend and her love of taking her clothes off with such deadening regularity that we’ve all become desensitised to it.

We’re not the only ones who miss the good old days of seeing Vanessa Hudgens naked, either. Vanessa Hudgens seems to miss it just as much. In fact - if you ignore the three films she made where her sole contribution was singing a procession of blank-eyed songs about believing in yourself - getting naked on the internet is the only thing that Vanessa Hudgens has done in her entire life.

And now that her fellow former tweensters are growing up and starring in bad remakes of Big with the crap one from Friends, it’s possibly time for Vanessa Hudgens to revisit her glory days. MSNBC reports:

“I will show nudity in a film when the time is right,” Hudgens, 20, said in an interview with E! Online. “Right now, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it. When the time’s right, if it’s an amazing movie that I’m really passionate about and that’s what it calls for, then we’ll see.”

Did you hear that? If, in several years’ time, Vanessa Hudgens is offered a role in a film that’s obviously beyond her artistic capabilities and calls for a fleeting glimpse of sideboob or a blurred shot of a buttock, then there’s a slim chance that Vanessa Hudgens will disrobe for it. SHE’S DEFINITELY GETTING NAKED AGAIN! PARTY TIME!!

Although, to throw water on our own alarmingly horny bonfire, what’s the point? We’ve already seen Vanessa Hudgens naked once, so it’s hardly going to get anyone excited to hear that she’s going to do it again. Not unless she’s decided to shave her pubes into the shape of a dragon or plans to show us a part of her naked body that we haven’t seen before, like the back of one of her knees or the underside of a toenail or something. Because then we’d be there like a shot.

And before you say it - no, Vanessa Hudgens publicly declaring her willingness to be naked on film isn’t a sign of desperation at all. In fact the last person to do anything remotely like this was Jessica Simpson, and she’s one of the most famous women on Earth. Oh, wait, no, it isn’t 2004 any more. Oh God, Hudgens, you’re doomed.

Vanessa Hudgens: Snapshot

As the smart, sugary sweet songbird Gabriella Montez on the Disney Channel megahit High School Musical, Vanessa Hudgens became tweens' favorite girl next door. But her pristine image took on some tarnish in September 2007 when a nude photo of the teen (taken prior to her fame) surfaced on the web.

The notoriety hasn't hurt the California native. At 13, she made her TV debut on an episode of Still Standing before landing the role that would make her a teen idol and introduce her to real-life love, heartthrob Zac Efron. Riding on her HSM fame, Hudgens released two solo albums (2006's V and 2008's Identified), endorsed Neutrogena, took her relationship with Efron public, reprised her role in HSM2 and HSM3: Senior Year, and landed on PEOPLE's Most Beautiful list.

Pre-E3 2009: Disney Sing It: Pop Hits Hands-on

If you felt the need to read this story, chances are that you know all about the Disney Sing It franchise. Here, songs from your favorite Disney movies and shows are gathered, packaged with their appropriate music videos, and put together as a karaoke videogame. You croon, fill in on-screen phrase bars with your vocals, and bank mad points.

Basically, it's the format of every karaoke videogame out there, but the tunes are all from the House of Mouse -- or at least they were.

Today, I got to rock a mic connected to Disney Sing It: Pop Hits. Set for a fall release on the PlayStation 3 and Wii, Pop Hits adds a number of gameplay modes, but the biggest addition are a number of tracks from folks who aren't part of your regularly scheduled Disney Channel programming. Sure, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Jesse McCartney, and more from Mickey's turf are on this disc, but so are Coldplay, Duffy, OneRepublic, Maroon 5, and Colbie Caillat. Although it might seem odd, the reasoning behind this mix is that Disney is trying to broaden Sing It's reach and these artists are already appearing on Radio Disney, so it's a good fit.

I took the title through its paces with a rendition of "Bubbly" by Miss Caillat, and the Sing It Solo mode remains largely unchanged. The music video played, my voice appeared on the screen as a color, and I used that color to fill in the phrase bars that told be how long to make a syllable or word. Although I didn't get to try it out in this demo, players will be able to create 10-song set lists before they set out on a single-player performance. Also returning this time around is Sing It Pro, a tutorial hosted by a Disney star. This time, Tiffany Thornton from the show Sunny with a Chance is on hand to teach noobs how to play the game as well as how to riff and harmonize.

Making their debut this time around are Sing It Encore and Diva Mode. After you complete a song and scope stats that include the number of spoken words you nailed and the longest note sung, you can kick on Encore and play back your performance (the artist vocals and music video play back as well). In Diva Mode, you square off against a friend and whoever gets the highest score is announced as the diva. When you're singing solo, you can select to rock You're On Your Own. Here, the scoring and words are removed so that you're just singing from memory. In the end, you see how you did. Disney Sing It: Pop Hits is also packing a number of in-game awards, which are likely to have some connection to Trophies on the PS3, that note when you nail certain in-game moments. The game is still open for up to eight-players.

My taste was short (the demo only had a few of the game's 30 tracks, and most of the ones that were there didn't ring any bells) and the company isn't releasing a full track list yet (although I did see a Vanessa Hudgens video running at one point), but Disney Sing It: Pop Hits seems interesting. One of Sing It's biggest flaws in the past has been that it appeals to such a niche audience. It'll be interesting to see if bringing in outside ringers will make the game a bit more rounded. Be on the lookout for Sing It news as we barrel towards E3.

Disney Sing It: High School Musical 3: Senior Year

As it is the case for most Disney games, I'm assuming you're here because you're either a fan of HSM and actually want to read about this game or you're someone who smells blood in the water and wants to see me rip this title apart.

Sorry, trolls, this game's OK and the review's going to be more informative than destructive. Still, if you're looking for a cheap shot: why the hell are the guys so set against going to the prom in "A Night to Remember?" Don't they know that this is their best chance to get laid? Be excited, weirdoes.

Oscars rewind

Later on, a grand musical number meant to signify the return of the movie-musical began with a solo from Jackman. Soon, however, the stage filled with backup dancers and a few surprise celebrities. First, Beyoncé appeared from underneath the stage and sang a medley of songs with Jackman. They were then joined by the likes of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens ( High School Musical 3) and Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper ( Mamma Mia!), who helped them finish the number with bravado.

The rest of the show continued uphill, entertaining viewers with engaging montages of many films from the past year. I hope the 82nd Academy Awards is just as good next year, if not, the awards show might just lose its appeal.

Vanessa Hudgens is a Caras Cover Girl

Vanessa Hudgens takes the June 2009 cover of Brazil magazine, Caras.

Now we know what the 20-year-old actress and boyfriend Zac Efron were really doing in Brazil!

Vanessa dished about her music plans, musicals and what she loves about Brazil. Check it:

On if she’d make another musical in the future: “Without a doubt. But right now, I want something more mature to perhaps shock the fans. I’m only 20 and can’t play a high school student forever. I want other challenges.”

On her next album and musical background: “I started singing because of Celine Dion. I couldn’t stop singing her songs, so I became a singer. Also I adore Christina Aguilera and I listened to her album, Stripped. I thought, ‘She is this insane person,’ but I love her sound. I want to discover my style and when people hear it, I want them to know that it’s me. For the next record, I plan to write songs based on my experiences.”

On what she loves about Brazil: “[It's] incredible. The water is clear and pretty. It’s not cold as Los Angeles (in January). I use these trips to my advantage so I can relax and find a peace of mind. It is good because I come back refreshed. In the States, it’s still a bit cold and I adore heat. I love walking barefoot and having contact with nature here, but I don’t like the ants.”

High School Musical 3: Senior Year Extended Edition DVD Review

After having enormous success on the Disney Channel, the High School Musical franchise finally made its debut on the big screen with High School Musical 3: Senior Year. The film follows the Wildcats in their senior year as they deal with moving on from East High and going to college and leaving behind all of the memories that they have made over the past couple of years. The six main actors from the first two films also return along with director and choreographer Kenny Ortega. So, what’s different about this version of High School Musical, besides the fact that it was the first film released on the big screen? Well, it’s bigger, better, and features even more energy and life than the previous two films.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year opens up at half time of the Wildcats’ championship game against The West High Knights. The Wildcats are trailing with only sixteen minutes left in the game and they need a miracle in order to pull off a victory. They are led by Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Chad Danforth (Corbin Bleu). The team also features a young player by the name of Rocket Man, played by Matt Prokop. Troy also has the support of his girlfriend Gabriella, played by the lovely Vanessa Hudgens. Will the Wildcats be able to pull off the victory and cement their legacy as champions once again?

Come on, people, this is High School Musical we’re talking about here. I’m just glad that the film doesn’t end with a big basketball game and the big shot. Then we would really be following the movie clichés.
