Vanessa Hudgen’s is on the cover of the May 2009 issue of Self Magazine. She also has a starring role in a new film named, Bandslam.

Here’s just five of the 25 things in the May 2009 issue of Self Magazine that she shares with her fans.

On one of her fave celebs: “I’m in love with Angelina Jolie. Everything she does, I adore.”

On her favorite animal: “I love snakes. I think they’re sexy. Not in the wild, of course, but pet snakes.”

On where she wants to take her acting career: “I’d like to do an action film where I could kick someone’s ass. I want to be strong and empowered. I want to shock everybody.”

On the craziest she’s ever eaten: “A fruit bat — specialty in the Seychelles islands. They cooked it in red wine. It was really, really dark, grainy meat. It was quite frightening.”

On what her dad passed down to her: “I have really strong legs. I inherited them from my dad, who has tree stumps for legs, basically. I’ve got big calves that look good. When I wear heels, it looks like I’ve worked out my legs a lot, which is why I love them. I also have a big, big big toe. I call it my goat toe. I can climb anything.”

It’s not profound stuff, then again, what can a 20 year old from California that’s grown up doing Disney movies have to say? She’s young, and I don’t think she has any profound political views yet, though as she matures, it will be interesting to read more of what she has to say. I’m looking forward to her doing action film, I think that would be a great direction for her to go in, especially with her big ‘goat toe’ enabling her to climb anything !!

Vanessa’s on-and-off-screen boyfriend, Zac Efron, is on the May 2009 cover of GQ.

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron had a photo shoot done with famous photographer Annie Liebovitz for Disney. Here they are portraying a scene as Prince Philip and Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty.

The photo will be published in Disney twenty-three magazine. The official website will launch in three days at Disney.com/D23.

David Beckham portrayed Prince Phillip back in 2007.

Here is a picture of Vanessa Hudgen’s signed hard hat. She is just one of the many celebrities lending her support to the Hollywood branch of Habitat for Humanity.

She along with other celebs has signed a white hardhat that will go up for auction. The proceeds from sales will go to support Habitat’s mission of providing safe and decent housing which will benefit families served by Habitat for Humanity.

On Vanessa’s hardhat is her sweet message, saying: “Thanks for all your hard work. All my Love, XOXO.”

Other celebrities with hardhats up for auction are: The Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift.

Zac and girlfriend Vanessa survived a 12 hour flight and were happy to receive a warm welcome from their fans at Narita International Airport today in Narita, Chiba, Japan.

The on-screen and off-screen couple will be touring Japan to promote their latest movie High School Musical 3: Senior Year, which opens on February 7 in Japan.

Apparently a team of over 30 police officers and security guards were used to set up a perimeter as the two of them and Zac’s manager made their way through the airport.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said a onlooker. “Their fans were screaming and some were crying because they were so happy to see them.”

Vanessa Hudgens was wearing a cute little black dress and shoes at the 2008 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party held on the rooftop of the L.A. County Museum of Art on Thursday.

She was Teen Vogue’s cover girl for their September 2008 issue. With the release of High School Musical 3 and her dance album “Identified” her career is really taking off.

She has said that making High School Musical was very much like high school even though she traded her real educational experience to be part of Disney’s most famous class of kids:

“It’s sad,” she says. “This is our last time doing a movie together, and we love each other so much.” “We really grew up together. We can be free when we’re around one another, and the amount of fun we have is ridiculous.”

Vanessa Hudgens was doing a CosmoGirl interview recently and had this to say when Chelsea Staub’s name came up during the conversation:

“Isn’t she dating Joe [Jonas]?”

Interestingly enough, the CosmoGirl reporter observed and noted this slip of the tongue by writing in the article that Vanessa:

“catch[es] herself, as if realizing she’d broken some celeb code of secrecy.”

‘ “I mean, she’s been seen with him,” Hudgens then grins to the reporter.’

I remember reading in an article the Jonas’s brothers did that they really enjoy reading newsy tidbits and gossip on themselves.  They actually get quite a laugh out of most of what they read.  They all seem like decent guys anyways… there really hasn’t been anything negative about any of them whatsoever.

Her album “Identified” will be out in stores July 1st, and this song is a bonus track available only in the Japanese version.

In a recent review in Entertainment Weekly, she says her new album is:

“Definitely sophisticated” but also thinks it’s “funky and fun.”

Some of the more standout tracks are: “Sneakernight,” “First Bad Habit,” and “Gone With The Wind.” “Sneakernight” is available on iTunes now.

Us Magazine is reporting that Vanessa Hudgens will be returning for High School Musical 3. A source was quoted saying that she has been “locked in” for the project and will receive a “substantial increase” in pay. Apparently having naked pictures of her surface on the internet did not seem to have negatively impacted her at all.

There was a time when having scandalous pictures made public would have derailed a career. It makes me wonder if some of these young girls willingly pose for such pictures just to give themselves a career boost.

Here is Hilary Duff looking super happy after having lunch with a friend at Joan’s on third. I am sure she went off to do a bit of shopping after. I have to say she is one of the better celebrities. She is always sweet, and works hard, and isn’t really seen as a ‘bad’ hollywood ‘it’ girl and still gets a lot of attention!

I hope more younger stars such as Hannah Montana, and Hayden Panettiere  stay on the right tract. We know that Vanessa Hudgens is the next Lindsay Lohan.
