High School Musical star Vanessa Anne Hudgens has decided to confront the rumors regarding the scandalous photos on the internet. Vanessa, 18, realized that she was in no position to deny that the picture was in fact her, (and not a sneaky photoshop situation) so she came clean. "This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public," her rep told TMZ.


Vanessa has been dating her costar Zac Efron, but skeptics have said that the romance is nothing more than a publicity stunt. I wonder if it was Zac who took the photos in the first place. Maybe this starlet should check with Nick and Vanessa for some advice. They've been down that road and back.
