High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is enduring the humiliation of a lifetime after a nude photo she took two years ago landed on the Internet, but lucky for her, boyfriend Zac Efron is standing behind her. "They're definitely weathering this storm together," says an insider. But can such a young love make it through this type of scandal? And how will Vanessa's career be affected? What do you think? Leave your comments below!

I think she was another teenager who lived too fast, was sexually active at too young of an age, had parents that were too liberal and too unattentive, she had too much freedom, she made bad choices and this is what happens. I think she should be ashamed. I think Disney is not what is used to be. I think they should drop her; but I bet they won't!

Oh and also, I could give a rat's you-know-what about her and Zac. It's just another let down when our kids find yet another idol or little crush like we parents used to have that is another bad example. I don't want ANY celebrity to be a role model and don't EXPECT them to be for that matter but what's next? A Cheetah Girl's scandal? Zoey 101? Maybe even Spongebob!

I think she made a mistake and she knows it. Everyone has made mistakes some time or another. Bad judgment is all. It will all blow over eventually. I think Zac and Vanesssa will get through this drama. They not only have a relationship but they have a friendship, that is key to getting over stuff like this. I think Vanessa is still a good role model unlike other celebs who made mistakes like this.

This is not the first time this has happened (remember Vanessa Williams?) and it will probably not be the last. Her actions in the past do not necessarily define who she is now and will become later. Vanessa Hudgens made a poor choice..I think she gets it now. It is unfortunate that her situation has to be broadcast to the world. She didn't harm anyone yet she is getting less compassion from some people than a criminal. The public was more forgiving to Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan's DUIs and they could have killed someone! She admitted her actions and apologized. I admire her for having the courage to do that much, especially at her age. That is more than you get from a lot of these celebrities - they just run to rehab as a quick fix. What more do people want? Everyone makes mistakes because no one is perfect. The test is taking the experience and learning from it. She should be given the opportunity to this like everyone else.

OMG!! i totally say no to the first person, and agree with everyone else. plus, shes a teenager (well, close enuff!) TEENAGERS DO STUPID THINGS!! and this is not about celebritiness, shes being a normal teen! any other person might have done this, the only difference is that she has the problem of the whole media over her tail! any celeb story is normally the same as any other, just that the press makes a bigger deal about then ny1 else!!

She has made mistake only by someone putting it out there i am certain all of us have naked photos of ourselves at one time in our days but she is a beautiful talented individual and should move on from this as for her and Zac they ill be just fine he seems to have an amazing heart and truly wants to be with her and excell in his career which he seems to do well at everything he does from derby stallion to i can not wait for footloose and hsm3 give them a break and let them live their life instead we the fans must intrude on everthing they do it is not fair nor is it just so let them be

I think Vanessa Hudgens is a great role model to stand up and say that it was her on the photo that takes guts. As for all the mean people who are bashing her GOd bless you the Lord looks at what you are doing too. As for Vanessa and Zac I think he is coping everything in right now, but he is so in love with her that he will do anything to make her feel better. I look at pictures of him doing press for hairspray in different countries and he looks concerned like he doesn't want to be there he wants to be home with his girlfriend so I defenitely see them overcoming this scandel.

you with out sin cast the first stone!!
We can only be so lucky that our dirt is not aired for all to see. She was young, When was your last laps in judgment? I can only put myself in her shoes and how I would feel if it would of been me.
If your kids are idoling an actor, then maybe you should ask yourself how much time they are spending watching TV instead of time spent with you.
I took it as a opportunity to talk with my daughter about decisions we make in life and how they can affect us years later. Actors are human too.

The real question here is "Can Zac and Vanessa survive Hollywood and fame?" Come on they are mere children. We won't see them as couple after a year or so anyway.

I really wish that everyone would just let her be and let is alone. There are SO many worse things that have been done and so many others who have done things and they were just ignored. She is a wonderful & talented person and deserves respect and privacy. I think she is a great role model. Who has not made poor decisions in their life? Difference here is only that she is a huge star and everyone is in her business. To Zac & Vanessa--please do not let the drama get to you. Be there for one another. Enjoy life, it is too short to worry about all the drama and hysteria the media is causing

I dont feel sorry for her. SHE sent the pictures and now she has to pay for them, your famous, you cant keep anything a secret. Zac should dump her and go for Hayden Panettiere, she much prettier and would prolly never do such a thing.

I think everyone should give Vanessa a break. She is only 18. She is old enough to make her own decisions. Everyone doesn't see the real Vanessa. She's a great singer and actress and she has tons of fans and has pressure on her. I think she has too much because she is only 18.

I think Zac is very cute and shouldn't be with her. She was a big let down to all those kids who look up to her. Even if they weren't leaked and noone saw them or heard about them she still took those pictures at only 16 and was too young. She is only 18 now and I don't know why Zac is helping her when those pictures were for him and Drake Bell!

Well, this is the things I need to say, I am currently a fan of Vanessa Hudgens. I was shocked when she did that, I was really mad at her. And, I also feel bad for her cause it's everywhere and it was private. She shouldn't have even done that..I know. People say she did that in sixteen, that means she wasn't that famous, but since she's really famous now, she should have burned or deleted by now (before they knew).Since, she apoligized, that's good but she has to do more to show the parents and kids that she is still a rolemodel. I like her but I don't like the things she does. I hope she gets through this..:D

She was young. It could've been a stressful time in her life. It is in the past now. Everyone should just forget about what happened and move on. She is a beautiful and talented young girl and people need to get past what happened 2 years ago and focus on whats happening now. She shouldn't be treated like this. Also, Zac is a great boyfriend for sticking up for her like this. She's going through a tough time and it would be easy for him to break up with her but he's not going to. They don't just have a relationship, but they have a friendship too and I think that helps.

I think you guys forget that she is human. She made a mistake and she said she was sorry. I love zac efron and her together. I think they will get through this problem. I think disney should not fire her because if they do kids would not like High school musical that much. Everbody makes mistakes in their life some time or another. I feel so bad .

Are you guys stupid? Do you actually beleive these dumb tabloids? How do you know for certain these pictures were for Drake Bell too? Yeah, okay, maybe some point in her life she did have a crush on him, but do we know for certain? Is Vanessa someone we all know personally in our lives? Stop pretending like you all know her and think she's a bad-ass, slutty bitch. She's eighteen, bye-bye tenager, hello legal adult. Everyone makes mistakes. All you haters act like you have never made stupid, dirty mistakes in your lives. She--along with other disney/nick stars--are normal to and act like their typical age. Yes their role models, but they have lives too! I do agree that the pics were a little too "out there" and wrong of VAH, but give her a break. Learn to be forgiving, don't act like she killed someone. You guys weren't even this harsh on the horrible things Lindsay, Paris, Nicole, and Britney did this past year. VAH is trying to get her life back on track, so let's help her become a good role model again by not getting these pics into too big of a deal, okay?

I would also like to add that those pics were probably for Zac, but we don't know. If they were, it's called having intimate moments with your loved one/someone you want to spend time with. She just had old nude pics leaked on the internet. So what? Plus, rumors were going around that Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant. That's definitely not true, but we didn't make a big deal out of that as much as VAH. Remember, Disney channel is the same place where they used to show Britney Spears music vidoes and Christina Aguilera music vidoes, along with Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, and Lindsay Lohan before the millenium.

Everyone should just leave stars alone!!!! Everyone is the same ....... even them and us. Who ever is stupid enough to look or do something like that is mean,cruel,rude and an invader of privacy. unless Vanessa said ok to it or do it on her on for the spotlight.......... leave them alone. I mean look at Princess Diana because of the poperotse she died.Really come people get a grip!!!

I think that what Vanessa has done shouldn't be something taken so bad I mean there's worse stuff out there and it's her life she can do w/e she wants with it besides if those pics were for Zac then why should that make it so bad, I mean they are in a relationship and they'll have their moments so all u haterz gotta stop with your hating obssessions and put yourself in her shoes and look at reality: Everybody makes mistakes at times.And I think Zac is a great guy for her and they should stick 2gether.

Think about when you watched high school musical or high school musical 2 and saw vanessa and didnt hate her....so now you do because she made one mistake? Since when are you perfect and don't make mistakes, she was 16, give her a break. As for her a zac, they were meant for eachother! They won't let one little mistake ruin their relationship!

My daughters use to copy Vannesa in her video and saw the movie like 20 times in 3 days. But I don't think I would buy anything from her or Disney High School Musical. I know to be in Disney they got to be really talented but before they put kids on TV shows that younger going to watch they should do a background check.
Like Zoey 911, My kids don't watch her anymore after they heard about the situation that she was so freak out that she was pregnant and happily realized that it was a false alarm. Please this supposed to be a show for kids. I don't want this kids to be role models.
I am very happy that my kids don't like her anymore.
And now I'm concern that my kids will find out about those pictures of Vanesa and I know they will. Kids at shool talk about everything and more about a show that have been so successful.
