Disney backs star after her apology for nude photo
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Vanessa Hudgens, the star of the wholesome, made-for-kids TV movie hit "High School Musical," apologized on Friday for a nude photo of her on the Web and Walt Disney Co. said it was sticking by the performer.
Some parents of her young fans voiced dismay over the photo, which shows Hudgens, 18, smiling and standing naked directly in front of the camera.
"I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me," Hudgens said in a statement issued about a day after the photo surfaced. "I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends."
In a statement, Disney said it hoped Hudgens had learned a valuable lesson. "Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment."
A Disney representative said the photo would not affect its decision to cast Hudgens in the third film of the "High School Musical" franchise and that negotiations for the cast and creative team were continuing.
Earlier on Friday, a representative for Hudgens confirmed the image was of Hudgens but said it "was taken privately."
"It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public," the representative said in a statement.
Hello my one reader. I am about to give you a great money making idea. Go and print up 5000 t-shirts with the words "I am Not A Porn Star But I have Poised Nude On The Internets" written on them. You'll make a bundle I tell ya. And don't forget to come back here and drop a little something in my paypal, note donate button to your right.
I am glad to see disney do something right for a change. Vanessa Hudgens ain't no paris hilton for craps sake. And while no hilton she is now in a club that ain't that exclusive. As its members are very large in number.
