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.

Along with the news that the latest Vanessa Hudgens nude pics were taken for her supposed boyfriend and High School Musical costar, Zac Efron, there was a story that she similarly sent nude pics to a guy she had a crush on, Drake Bell, two years ago. Now an ex boyfriend claims that she sent a nude picture to him too – way back when she was 15:

Yet another nude picture of the “High School Musical” star has surfaced – and it was snapped when she was only 15, The Enquirer has learned exclusively.

Vanessa, 18, took the photograph of herself in her bedroom – and sent it to a boyfriend she’d just dumped.

“It was like she was saying: ‘Look what you’re going to miss,’” her then-boyfriend Adam O’Neal, 19, told The Enquirer in an exclusive interview.

When I first read the headline for this story I thought they meant that the nude photos online were from when she was 15, and that skeeved me out a little. It was clear from the story that they meant that there are more nude photos from when she was younger, though.

The Enquirer reported back before the photos hit the ‘net that they were coming, and I said it sounded a little too convenient that they warned us about them to generate buzz ahead of time. If they’re saying there’s another set of nude pictures they’re probably right and it’s just a matter of time before we see them.

This seems to be Hudgens’ MO – she takes nude pictures of herself and sends them to guys she likes – or in this case the entire world – saying “look at me, I’m so cute.”

Hudgens recently said that she would pose for a men’s magazine, just not for Playboy. I think she means Maxim. At least she’s honest about it and is not trying to play the innocent card:

The High School Musical star, 18, recently admitted to posing naked for snaps for boyfriend ZAC EFRON – which were then posted on the web.

And she says: “I think being a woman and being able to show a sexy side is empowering.

“Being able to show we are comfortable in our skin is a good thing. I totally would pose for a sexy magazine. But not Playboy.”

And Joe Francis, the fallen head of the Girls Gone Wild franchise has extended a 1/2 million offer to Vanessa from his jail cell, telling her he would love to have her represent the company in a commercial and on video.

There was a story this that Vanessa and Zac had broken up, but they were seen out recently getting McDonalds and it seems like that rumor was false. L.A. Rag Mag also quotes a source saying that they’re still together.

So brace yourselves. More Vanessa Anne Hudgens nude pics are coming. She should wait a while before releasing these ones, though, people might get bored of her.

Some more photos have come out of this formerly virtually unknown chick, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, from the same series as her now sort-of famous nude pic. They’re higher res and feature her in some more seductive poses in her skivvies in the bedroom. These are sort of safe for work because the naughty bits are covered.

Commentors on ONTD, where we found these pics, say her publicist is dumb and that he should have issued a more strongly-worded statement. As it is, it sounds like she’s practically admitting it.

This might also be a ploy to get this chick out of her contract with Disney to do more High School Musical shows. She should have put these out last week because it was a much slower gossip week.

I didn’t find these until after the earlier post where she admitted the photos were real was published or I would have added them to that one.

Vanessa Anne Hudgens is all too ready to admit that the nude pic that we published yesterday is the real deal. She released a bland statement via her publicist acknowledging the picture and saying it was a private photo. She never said that it wasn’t meant to get out, just that it was “unfortunate” that it did:

The Disney sweetheart’s rep tells Us, “This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public.”

I had barely heard of the girl before this incident, and most of you mentioned the same in the comments. A tastefully posed nude pic should be just the thing to launch her film career after High School Musical peaked, at least that’s probably what her publicist is hoping.

Maybe she wasn’t getting enough mileage out of that high profile relationship with her costar, Zac Efron, and decided to kick it up a notch. Bikini and posed makeout pictures only go so far.
