'High School Musical' hottie Vanessa Hudgens is talking out concerning the exposed photo of her that seeped out onto the internet previous this week. Hudgens says she originally sent that photo of herself to Nickelodeon star Drake Bell a couple of years ago, before she became famous. However, Bell's rep, Jill Fritzo, is singing a different tune. Bell tells People magazine: "Drake says he never received those photos." Before Hudgens became famous off of 'High School Musical' she appeared in a 2006 episode of Bell's Nickelodeon show as his character's girlfriend. Hudgens apologized on Friday about the leaked pictures and says she is "embarrassed over the situation and regret[s] having ever taken these photos."
Her rep issued a statement saying that the shot "was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public." At first everyone figured the suits at Disney were going to go ape shit over the pictures but they said "Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment," Disney said in a statement. "We hope she's learned a valuable lesson." Valuable lesson: if you want to be a celebrity, don't take naked pictures of yourself. Don't make a sex tape. Don't do drugs on camera. Learn people, learn! It's not rocket science.
