Nude or Not - Vanessa Anne Hudgens Gets Big Raise for High School Musical 3

Disney's powerhouse success, High School Musical, will crank out another installment with Vanessa Anne Hudgens in the center of it all. The young actress/singer has been swimming in troubled waters recently with her nude pictures all over the internet. Despite all the controversy, Vanessa Anne Hudgens has pushed through the nude pictures and snagged a spot in High School Musical 3 and with a substantial raise to boot.

September 6th, 2007 was when the nude photos hit the internet. Hudgens has issued a statement since that time, but has not confronted the issue with an interview or anything like that. All of the exposure hasn't changed Disney's mind however. High School Musical and High School Musical 2 were tremendously successful. Like sports, if you perform well, may things in your personal life will be overlooked. Keeping the continuity for the High School Musical series is more important than any off-screen scandals Vanessa Anne Hudgens might be dealing with. Disney has done well with High School Musical and Hudgens need to be a part of the third installment.

Zac Efron is penciled-in for his role in High School Musical 3, pending a review of the script. Disney is reportedly offering Efron $3 million for the movie, an amount that would be close to Vanessa Anne Hudgens' salary.

In addition to High School Musical 3, Vanessa Anne Hudgens is the spokesperson for Neutrogena and involved in a court battle with her former attorney. The attorney claims Hudgens owes $150,000 of back fees. That nice raise for High School Musical 3 could come in handy for Vanessa Anne Hudgens.
