I guess nothing brings two new friends together like a nekkid photo scandal. It’s always nice when new friends find that they have the same interests in common … a mutual love of music, literature, nudie pics … whatever. These are the bonds that withstand the test of time. The term BFF gets thrown around a lot but I can totes see how these two could really end up being best friends forever.

Now, because the show was taped for air tonight, it remains to be seen if this particular interaction between Dane and Vanessa will actually be shown — but you can watch video of Dane’s shout-out to Vanessa in full after the jump …

Either the girl failed to learn her lesson last time and thought it’d be a good idea for her to send out NEW nekkid photos of herself to friends (or whoever) or she just likes the attention and is hoping this time around, her nekkid pics will make a bigger splash in Hollywood — in either case, she’s an idiot. For those of you interested, you can see some of the new NSFW nekkid pics of Vanessa Hudgens — from her cell phone to your eyes …

Click HERE to see the uncensored NSFW images if you are so inclined. Even if, in some way, these photos were taken from her possession without her consent, she had to know that taking nekkid pics of oneself on one’s cell phone is a dangerous act. HELLO, she’s already had explicit photos of herself leak to the Internet before. It’s hard to feel sorry for someone who seem so brazen and so unconcerned about their reputation. While I feel there is nothing wrong with taking whatever photos of yourself you like and sending them to whoever for whatever reason, I cannot feel sorry when the photos get leaked to the Internets. It should be noted that Vanessa’s new tween film Bandslam opens in theaters on August 14 … I wonder if the release of these photos was timed to help promote that film?

… a sight that was not lost on his admirers here in the States because upon his arrival back in SoCal, he and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens were showered with gifts to ensure that Zac’s waxy build-up problem goes away:

LOLOLOL! Someone decided to pummel Zanessa with Q-Tips as they made their way out of Beso restaurant here in LA Saturday night. The best part — one of the Q-Tips got stuck in Vanessa’s hair! You may also note that Zac’s ear canals were covered by his hair in these second photos … so who knows what ICK may be hiding underneath. After the jump, check out video of Zanessa getting showered with Q-Tips …

As part of the Disney Dream Portrait Series, world-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz transformed High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens into dashing Prince Phillip and lovely Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. D23 paid a visit to the photo shoot and got the inside-scoop from the adorable couple!

D23: So, how was the overall the experience today?
VH: It was a lot of fun, it was great.
ZE: (Referring to the scene) I mean she woke up; there was a 50-50 chance she wouldn’t wake up (both laughing).
VH: Yeah, you never know.
ZE: And I think we made it out OK.

Well, they’re not rocket scientists so I’m not sure what I was expecting from this interview. They gave pretty standard responses, nothing at all with any depth. The fact that Zac “kinda likes” Prince Phillip was pretty much the highlight for me. But, really, it’s not at all about the interview … or even the actors … it’s all about the photograph and I must admit that it’s a beautiful photo. Leibovitz has a really great eye and she knows how to capture a moment beautifully. Altho Zanessa aren’t really my favorites, I can appreciate that they look pretty amazing in this Disney photo. I don’t think they should do any future interviews, tho … hearing them speak doesn’t help their attractiveness.

While the pose is pretty cheesy (most likely because it’s got Zac Efron in it), the photo is beautiful. Leibovitz is such an amazing photographer, her photos are very, very cool. I suppose I get why Disney would select Zanessa to portray these characters but I’m actually surprised they’ve decided to milk the Sleeping Beauty movie for another photo when there are so many other films that have yet to be featured. Snow White?* Mulan? Mowgli from Jungle Book? I am happy to know that the campaign is still ongoing, especially since Disney’s Year of a Million Dreams is long over. I wonder if we’ll be seeing more photos soon from the campaign? I guess we shall see.

*Pink reader Starkie reminds me that Rachel Weisz did portray Snow White in a photo of her own. Thanks!

Now here’s a role Vanessa Hudgens would like to sink her teeth into. The High School Musical star has auditioned for the part of werewolf Leah Clearwater in the Twilight sequel New Moon, according to Ashley Green, who played Alice in Twilight. “I think she’d be great,” Greene tells MTV. As Leah, Hudgens, 20, would be a foil to Taylor Lautner, who will reprise his role as werewolf Jacob Black. In the Stephenie Meyer novels, Leah is her pack’s lone female werewolf – and a jilted one, at that. Unlike Hudgens’s Gabriella in HSM, Leah experiences heartbreak, being ditched by classmate (and fellow werewolf) Sam Uley.

HMMM … you know, I’m not immediately repulsed by the idea of Vanessa playing Leah in New Moon. Truth be told, I’ve never seen Vanessa Hudgens act so I can’t comment on that regard but judging by looks alone, I think she could play a respectable Leah Clearwater. I’m sure there are many diehard Twilighters who may balk at the idea of Vanessa joining the Twilight cast … but she will add some more starpower to the Twilight sequel. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen. I’m very curious to see if she manages to get the part … I guess I always figured they’d cast a newcomer but … HMMM. I may have to think on this some more. What do y’all think … could Vanessa Hudgens actually bring Leah Clearwater to life?

Becks was lookin’ just supercute in his dressed down, casual outfit. It’s pretty ridic how the man can just look good even when he’s not trying. But Davids Beckham and Arquette weren’t the only celeb couple who came out to cheer the Lakers on to victory (they beat the Knicks by a score of 116-114) … here are a few pics of the overly tanned, somewhat unwashed lookin’ Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens:

Nothing about either of these two screams sports fan to me but they really were doing their best to look interested in the game when they weren’t making goo-goo eyes at one another. It’s funny how sometimes you can see more celebs sitting inside a sports arena than you can on a red carpet. You gotta love LA.

Don’t these two make a perfect couple? In fact, they make too perfect a couple which is why I’m always suspicious of the verity of their relationship … but, whatever the case may be, Zanessa do a really good job of taking care of one another. They’re practically inseparable and they do tend to look happy together. It looks like the pair enjoyed a really nice afternoon together … nothing too exciting for the big 2-0 but, then again, we have no idea how they celebrated last night. UGH, on second thought … I don’t think I want to know. Happy Birthday, Vanessa!
