Unsurprisingly, even more facebook-style pics have emerged of overnight sensation Vanessa Hudgens, who gained a modicum of fame after some nude pictures of her were conveniently leaked online. We’ve been warned by the National Enquirer that more nude pictures might be coming, as she was said to have sent a third guy naked pictures of herself back when she was just 15.

Now some slightly more racy pictures of her posing with friends suggestively and wearing sort of slutty outfits have come out. These aren’t much more damning than the last set of pictures of her with friends that we saw last week. Since the Vanessa Hudgens pics were so popular, I may as well publish these. There are some upskirts here that are attributed to Hudgens, but they’re hard to verify.

While Disney has announced that they won’t replace Hudgens in High School Musical follow-ups following her nude picture scandal, the National Enquirer is reporting that they’re quietly grooming another young starlet to take her place:

The Enquirer has learned that while Disney is publicly backing star Vanessa Hudgens despite her nude photo hitting the Internet, the family oriented Mousemen have privately been considering replacing her with a young blonde.

After the scandal broke, Disney began looking at Adrienne Bailon, a 23-year-old member of The Cheetah Girls, a multiplatinum pop and R&B group, for a third HSM movie, revealed an insider.

“She said Disney is making her dye her blonde hair dark and is also having her do tons of promotional press to build her image and make her more visible.”

You know, I had only heard of Vanessa Hudgens in passing until this nude photo scandal, so I stand by my original assessment that it was all for publicity. This week I even saw Vanessa and Zac Efron in a small inset photo on the cover of Germany’s biggest celebrity magazine, Gala, with the headline “America’s new teen stars” or something similar. She probably wants to be let out of her Disney contract so she’s not typecast, so if someone else is cast in her role she’ll try to move on to bigger and better things. Can she act, though? I haven’t seen HSM, I’m not sorry to say. Does it really matter if she can act?

Thanks to Right Celebrity for these pics.
