Digital Cameras And Squeaky-Clean Images…..
…..Don't mix well. A young actress who has been doing rather well in the Disney "High School Musical" franchise is in a spot of bother after nude photographs of her surfaced on the internet. Vanessa Hudgens, who is 18 years old, has admitted that the nude photos are genuine. They were supposed to be private.
NEW YORK - Brainy Gabriella of "High School Musical" would no doubt blush at the idea that a nude picture of young actress Vanessa Hudgens was circulating on the Internet. The problem for the Walt Disney Co. is that Hudgens plays Gabriella.
Hudgens' publicist confirmed Friday that the photograph is indeed the 18-year-old star of Disney Channel's wildly successful "High School Musical" franchise. It shows a coquettishly smiling Hudgens posing naked in a bedroom with a red curtain behind her.
"This was a photo which was taken privately," said Jill Fritzo, Hudgens' publicist. "It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public."
She wouldn't say anything about who took the picture and how it slipped out onto the Internet.
Celebrities should know better, frankly. The moment they hit it big (or big enough) they are considered fair game by the vampires - er - celebrity sites. The Disney studios are denying a report that Hudgens will be dropped from the cast of the next installment of High School Musical. (Which probably means she actually has been or will be at any moment.)

This ranks very high on the "whyshouldIgivea" meter.
If people want to see nude pictures of someone in High School Musical, maybe they'd better reconsider their own proclivities.

I had to edit that. I quite agree, it’s nothing I’d go out of my way for. Mostly its a comment on how people seem to forget things have a way of coming back on you at the worst possible moment.
