Will Vanessa Hudgens Be Putting Her Infamous Body Hair To Use In ‘New Moon’?

Posted by Rob Hunter (rob@filmschoolrejects.com) on January 12, 2009

Who could have predicted leaked photos of a nude and naturally coiffed Vanessa Hudgens would lead to a possible role in one of the biggest films of the year?

When the photos of Hudgens (self-taken for boyfriend Zak Ephron) first appeared online many people thought her career was over, not only with Disney, but with Hollywood in general. vhudgensmod2 (Some people also thought she needed to wax.) Disney execs thought long and hard over the pics, but decided to hold onto her. Their gamble paid off and High School Musical 3 banked almost $250 million worldwide. It seems producers from another popular franchise have seen the photos too, and the first thing they thought of was…

Werewolf!

According to MTV.com Hudgens has auditioned for the role of Leah Clearwater in the upcoming Twilight sequel, New Moon. Clearwater is Jacob Black’s “feisty and heartbroken frienemy” who is a werewolf like Jacob. She gives him grief for being attracted to the waify human, Bella. Ashley Greene, who plays vampire Alice Cullen in the Twilight films, told MTV that ”I think she’d be great,” which is really saying something because vampires normally don’t like werewolves. She also said New Moon is in the process of getting “another rewrite” which could mean anything or nothing.

In related news, Twilight hits DVD on March 21st! Yay! In other news, more or less related, Robert Pattinson was spotted in L.A. recently reportedly hitting on women via anatomical references. “If I could, I’d have a [?] on the inside of my elbow so I could lick it all day long,” he reportedly said. Defamer isn’t sharing what the mystery word is (although some of their commenters have some truly entertaining suggestions), so it’s anyone’s guess.

Would you be excited to see Hudgens in all her hairy glory in New Moon?

Well. I'm just going to stay at a hotel for a few days while the FBI finishes taking all of the FSR Hard drives in for examination. Thanks Rob, and I'll see you in 6-8 months, pending you meet the terms of your parole.

That picture is just wrong! And so would Vanessa being cast as Leah Clearwater or any other character in the Twilight series. She's an awful actress and adding her name isn't going to draw more of a crowd. What it will do is piss off a bunch of fans.

Samantha

Vanessa would be the worst choice to play Leah Clearwater!! She was awful in her perky, sing-along high school musicals, let alone a serious part in which she has to be angry most of the time. . .acting skills are required!! UGH please dont cast her!!!!!

Cody

whoa whoa whoa.... Leah Clearwater isn't revealed to be a werewolf until the third book, eclipse. she isn't in new moon AT ALL, and no one besides Sam chastises Jacob for being friends with Bella.

let's just say someone dropped the ball, majorly, and all the twihards are going to start bitching when news of this spreads

Beth

Gross.

alex

UGH! i think that is the worst idea ever! vanessa hudgens has mental issues... she will ruin it if shes in NEW MOON!

Nick

You guys think that just because of her nude photos leaked out through in the internet, and had a bad impression to everyone doesn't mean that she will ruin new moon, i for one think it will be nice for a change that vanessa get the role of Leah Clearwater....

It not everyday that we see the sweet and charming high school musical stat acting all up anger...
But than again too bad it's just a rumor, i really do hope she get the role of leah clearwater cuz succes isn't everythinh in life.

GO VANESSA

gene

i do not want venessa on new moon i hate her she sucks a acting!!!!!!!!!!!

David - the nudist

Has anyone considered the fact that she was comfortable with her body for once in her life? Poor Vanessa had to go through s*** because of our crooked, f***ed up society forced her to publicly apologize...something that far humiliated her than an innocent picture did. The damage was done. Now, Vanessa may never be comfortable with her body anymore. Thanks a lot, Americans! You ruined her life! Role model or not, this was a private photo that she had no intention of leaking out to begin with...except to her boyfriend. How would you feel if you had a private photo of yourself leaked onto the internet for all to see and then, read comments that bash you and call you all kinds of names? You wouldn't like that, would you? Now, put yourself in Vanessa's shoes and leave her the hell alone!

twilight lover
