Disney Fires HSM Star Vanessa Hudgens

[stinkerbell]

Didn't Disney hire Eddie Murphy after he got caught with a male prostitute?

Why the double standard?

I don't think this is the end of her career. She is only 18 for gosh sake. Maybe she shouldn't have taken the photo, but she did. She apologized for it and feels bad. Disney made a statement that she has not been cut. They need to let this die down. People will forget when the next celebrity does something stupid.

Do you monitor your kids actions on the internet? If you know what they're getting into, and know what they hear about (ie play radio Disney, the oldies station, etc) and just....watch your kids they won't find out about these pictures.There were soooooooo many things my favorite childhood celebrities did that my parents made sure I had no idea about.And looking back on it I was like "wait he did what?!" It's just making sure you're active parenting... and once they find out (down the road) you explain it in your household moral guidelines.

No I don't mean it in a 'looking at smut on the web' way I mean it in a 'Vanessa is my hero I wanna be just like her' way

Don't tell your kids... they won't know.

This incident seems tailor-made to a) release her from whatever contract she might have, and b) lead her straight into edgier, more adult roles.

While that is a posibility, I find it a little unlikely.

Vanessa's success came from Disney after all, and she also has a record deal wtih Hollywood Records, so why would she want ruin her relationship with Disney.

She also has said in an interview that while she would like to do roles that are a little departure from the character of Gabriella, she would not want to go to extreme, edgier roles.

Her image can't be ruined at this stage in the game to stay with Disney so hopefully they'll find a way for her to recover or else she might not be around with Disney for long, which is kind of sad. Not much else you can really do about it, but lessons learned I guess?

You do have to wonder, yes Disney has denied the reports so far, but will they eventually consider not to sign her after all.

I wonder how Disney plans to deal with this situation. Don't forget, she probably wil play a major role in promoting the HSM 2 DVD in December.

If they have a digital camera or even a cellphone camera , chances are they're already doing this or will do it and it wont be because of this celebrity.

I saw the show, but I was too far away to see her parts.

Perhaps a new DVD bonus feature?

[TsWade2]

Lighten Up Disney.
