Vanessa Hudgens Talks Oscars Nervousness

Although it was extremely hard to tell, Vanessa Hudgens recently opened up about how nervous she was before performing at this year’s Oscars. The Academy Awards show took place this past Sunday (February 22) at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, where hundreds of A-list celebrities gathered. Of this, Miss Hudgens said, “I can honestly say that I have never been so nervous.” Despite her jitters, the young “High School Musical” actress did just fine and looked to be having the time of her life as she performed alongside boyfriend, Zac Efron. As for the swirling engagement talk, it seems it is just a rumor as there was no official proposal and Vanessa is not wearing a ring.

Meanwhile, the afternoon outing comes amidst rumors claiming that Miss Hudgens got a proposal from her co-star beau Zac Efron while the couple was in Japan -with some claiming that their wedding date is set for 2010. “Zac is relieved to be out of the pressure cooker, because Vanessa’s mom has been putting serious heat on him to make an honest woman of her daughter,” a spy dished, although Nessa hasn’t been wearing a ring to add any substance to the wedding talk.

Vanessa Hudgens Talks New Moon Prospects

She’s just one of the many actors hoping for a shot at the “Twilight” sequel “New Moon.” And in a recent interview with Extra, Vanessa Hudgens talked about her potential role in the vampire series. The “High School Musical” babe is aiming for the part of Leah Clearwater, a disgruntled female werewolf, though she doesn’t know if she’ll get it. “It’s still a rumor; I’m really interested. I think it’s a great project but nothing’s happening as of now.” Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg (who wrote New Moon and Eclipse, the third installment) clarified why nothing has been decided, telling press, “I’m not sure about [final] casting, but I had heard Vanessa Hudgens was going up for the part of Leah. But at the moment, the part of Leah doesn’t happen until the third movie.” And it sounds like Vanessa has done her homework, having already read the entire Stephanie Meyer series. “Yes, love it,” she said. “My sister has read all of the books too.”
