Vanessa Hudgens Calls Nude Photo Leakers 'Selfish'

Vanessa Hudgens would like people to stop living in the past. Namely, she'd like everyone to stop remembering her as that Disney starlet whose misuse of a cell phone camera caused some major embarrassment...over and over again.

In an interview with the LA Times, Hudgens explained that the most frustrating thing about her nude photo scandal is that it distracts from who she is now. The photos, taken several years ago, have been slowly released in batches since 2007.

"It's just silly because I'm a very present person, and that's the thing that has been so in the past," Vanessa said. "The fact that somebody keeps bringing up the past is just selfish. I mean, it sucks. I already released a statement the first time it happened. It's just unfortunate that it keeps reminding people about the past and not the present."

Hudgens has a lot to celebrate in the present, including her journey of self-discovery. "A lot of women get walked all over on by not standing up for themselves, and that's just not what I'm about. I'm figuring myself out now as a young adult more than I ever have. It's like my eyes are opening and I'm awakening to controlling my future."

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron Have a Friendly Reunion

No one ever said puppy love had to end dramatically. Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron, who ended their five year romance in December, were fine and chummy together at a West Hollywood party on Wednesday. 

The former lovers, who celebrated the release of mutual HSMco-star Ashley Tisdale's Sharpay's Fabulous Adventures DVD, were ultra comfortable with each other. 

"Zac and Vanessa definitely seemed comfortable around each other," an observer told Us. "They didn't seem affectionate or romantic at all, but they were totally relaxed and friendly."



Another source added: "They both came out to support Ashley. They knew they would both be there and were fine with it. They really are still friends."

Apparently, it was one big High School Musical cheerful get together with lots of the hit show's stars -- and likely lots of excited shrieking and hugs. 

"It was like a High School Musical reunion!" says the first observer.

Oh, geez. At least Vanessa and Zac are acting more mature than their cross-eyed lovers fromHSM presumably would have.

'Long-Distance Relationship' Triggers Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron's Split

Vanessa Hudgens has blamed her busy schedule for her split from longtime boyfriend Zac Efron, revealing the couple struggled to maintain a "long-distance relationship". The "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" co-stars' three-year romance came to an end in December 2010, but rumors of a reunion surfaced just weeks later when they were spotted together in a nightclub, and Hudgens also admitted they were "figuring things out".

Hudgens has now confirmed they are definitely not back together and explained the reasons for the break-up, insisting their acting roles kept them apart. She tells Shape magazine, "Long-distance relationships are hard no matter what. When you don't have face-to-face time, it's just different. Having an iPhone helped, but it wasn't the same."

But the singer-actress is adamant she will always have fond memories of her relationship with Efron, adding, "We grew up together. It was nice to have someone to share all of those experiences with. It was a good thing. The relationship kept me grounded, and because I was with someone who knew me so well, I didn't need to try to be someone I'm not."

The former girlfriend of Zac Efron has been hit with similar scandal in 2007 and 2009. Speaking of the nude photos in 2009, she told Allure, "If anything it makes it more embarrassing, because that was a private thing. It's screwed up that someone screwed me over like that.

The "High School Musical" sweethearts have been dating since meeting on the set of the first hit Disney musical in 2006, and have frequently been forced to deny rumors they are engaged.

But despite the denials, Hudgens was reportedly eager to change her religion to "score points" with Efron's Jewish family, according to U.S. tabloid The National Enquirer. However, a representative for the actress has shrugged off the claims, insisting the report is "not true".
