Oh, VANESSA
First, we find out that Vanessa Hudgens took naked pictures of herself. Now, she said that they were actually intended for Drake Bell of all people. Alright, Vanessa, we'll forgive you this time (a NICK star?!) but you're going to have to make it up to us.

Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens has quickly moved up the ranks from guest star to starring roles to pop starlet ... that's a lot of stars for one girl. Fortunately, she's dating Zac Efron, her 'High School Musical' co-star, so she'll have some help with it all there. (Speaking of 'HSM,' we've got a new pic from 'High School Musical 2' at the end of this gallery.)

Just Starting Out
Vanessa Hudgens started out with smaller roles in movies like 'Thirteen' and 'Thunderbirds,' along with some guest-starring appearances on a couple of TV series. This was all before the world would know her as Gabriella.

'The Suite Life'
Vanessa Hudgens' celebrity life really began with a small, recurring role of Corrie on 'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.' Still, that was nothing compared to the giant movie on her horizon. Something about a musical at a high school.

'High School Musical'
No one expected 'High School Musical' to be as huge a success as it's been, least of all its stars. But Vanessa Hudgens wisely used the movie to get her career moving, especially through music.

Vanessa Gets Musical
Vanessa Hudgens used her success in 'High School Musical' to launch her own musical career, putting out her first album, 'V.' We're not sure if that's just her initial, or like the roman numeral five, but either way, we'll take four more.

Homecoming Queen and King
Just when we thought Vanessa Hudgens' life couldn't get any more perfect, she and Zac Efron started dating. We'd like to say that this news didn't make us giggle happily (Troy and Gabriella together!) but that would be a lie.

'Come Back to Me'
Vanessa Hudgens' first video, 'Come Back to Me,' showed us that while Vanessa could sing ... dancing was a little beyond her skills. That was fine, though ... she learned from her mistake and had Zac Efron cameo in the next video, giving us something to look at besides her dancing.

Commercial Appeal
The success of 'High School Musical' meant that Vanessa Hudgens was in demand just for her face. She won commercial deals with Old Navy, Blockbuster and even became the face of Neutrogena for 2007.

A Top Earner
Vanessa Hudgens actually made the Forbes list of 'Young Hollywood Top-Earning Stars of 2006' for her role in 'High School Musical.' Not too bad for a movie on basic cable!

'High School Musical 2'
Though Vanessa Hudgens' star is so high it's almost out of sight, she and the rest of the first movie's stars agreed to come back for two 'High School Musical' sequels. 'High School Musical 2' has finished filming, and should be out in August. We've already started re-watching the first one, just to be ready.
