It has been reported at MSNBC that Vanessa Hudgeons, aka Gabriella in High School Musical 1 & 2, has confirmed that a nude photo of her circulating on the web is of her. The story so far is that it was taken with a cell phone camera, and meant to be a private photo, not for public viewing.
I feel sorry for her, I guess it is like Dr. Phil says about the teenage brain, it just isn't developed fully enough to thoroughly think through decisions.
A friend just called me, very upset, she can't let her daughter watch HSM now. I told her, in my opinion, she was overreacting. #1-don't show her daughter the nude photo, don't tell her daughter about it either. #2-if her daughter hears about it, say it is true, a mistake was made, and what can we learn from it.
But all in all, I hate it for the actress.

Wow. I'm watching Dr. Phil on the Tonight Show - and he just now said "everyone is paparazzi today. If you don't want to see it [on the net] don't do it." But still sad for her.

that is the truly scary thing about the internet and digitalphotos that teens need to understand....once it hits the net....you can never get it back....I worry for all the kids....not just celebrities.....

I really hate that this has happened! Emily LOVES Vanessa, but she's not going to really follow the news about her.......I'm certainly not going to take away HSM from her because of this. But, if she did find out about it, it would give us a good opportunity to talk about choices, and how some of our choices have some pretty significant consequences.

Exactly, and that is what I told this other mom.
Laura and Kelly haven't heard anything about it. And we drove home from a tennis tournament yesterday, singing HSM songs all the way.
Sure is a very good lesson for all teens, though.
