Vanessa Hudgens

Bandslam star Vanessa Hudgens said she is playing a "darker" character in her new film that people aren't used to seeing her play.

The 20-year-old, famous for her role as Gabriella in Disney film trilogy High School Musical, is playing the character of Sam in new film Bandslam and she said it's a different role than she's used to.

Alyson Michalka, known to just about anyone under the age of 18 as Aly, Disney Channel star and one half of the sister act musical duo, 78violet (formerly Aly and AJ), wants to rock you. Her two latest projects, the feature film Bandslam, opening August 14th, and a new untitled album hitting stores in the fall, are all about a stronger, more mature Aly.

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is facing further embarrassment as more nude photos of her that hit the Internet yesterday.
 

Vanessa Hudgens, 20, of High School Musical fame, is suing her former music producer, Johnny Vieira, for breach of contract.

Hudgens alleges false advertising and appropriation of her name and likeness in her lawsuit filed in LA County Superior Court. She alleges that Vieira, by using photographs of Hudgens on his company MySpace page, has violated the terms of a prior confidential agreement between the pair.

Okay, people (boys, really), you're gonna get your wish.

Vanessa Hudgens is stripping her clothes off…again. And apparently, she's really excited about it.

Neil Patrick Harris aka Doogie Houser is a working actor, again!

Hooray!

NPH just hosted the Tony Awards, and now has landed two movie roles.

And neither will feature White Castle, bummer.

Our favorite teen-genius M.D. will be starring in an indie entitled The Best and the Brightest and will appear alongside Vanessa Hudgens in Beastly.

With all the remakes, we want Doogie Houser, M.D. to hit the big screen.

Make it happen, pretty please!

Speaking of stars wanting to avoid being pigeon-holed...

We've already discussed how Zac Efron is trying to shed his High School Musical image to get more diverse work, part of which was dropping out the forthcoming Footloose remake.

Now rumors are swirling that Zac-y Pooh's being encouraged to drop his girlfriend, fellow Disney-star Vanessa Hudgens, because their relationship reminds people too much of HSM.

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens arrived at a Bandslam Reel Thinking event at The Grammy Museum at LA Live in Downtown Los Angeles Friday afternoon.

Hudgens, along with her Bandslam costars Aly Michalka and Gaelan Connell, hosted the event.

Vanessa Hudgens is only 20 and she’s already dealing with the age old Hollywood question: “When will we see your boobies onscreen?”

And we’re not talking about a repeat of the nude photo leak snafu.

She tells Eonline.com, “I will show nudity in a film when the time is right.

“Right now, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it, but if it’s an amazing movie that I’m really passionate about and that’s what it calls for, then we’ll see.”

Why are people already clamoring to see a 20-year-old Disney star naked (again)?
