In related news, Miss Hudgens recently chatted with press about the demanding duties required for her upcoming movie, "Beastly".

At the end of the day I was like ‘Oh, I just wanna go to bed!’”

Vanessa Hudgens Signs Up for Rent

Taking on a brand new challenge, Vanessa Hudgens has announced plans to take the stage in the Tony Award-winning musical Rent. Drawn to the role by her "Beastly" co-star Neil Patrick Harris, the "High School Musical" hottie will be playing a character named Mimi - who is described as an HIV-positive dancer. Of picking Vanessa, Harris tells in a statement, "She came in for a work session, and I must say, Vanessa really impressed. She looks amazing, has great vocal chops and seems really committed to honoring the somewhat iconic role of Mimi. I look forward to audiences seeing a dark, edgy and very different side of Vanessa Hudgens this August." According to reports, the Rent production will run August 6, 7 and 8 at the Hollywood Bowl.

Zac Efron's Ticket Troubles

Paying the price for his roadway misdoings, Zac Efron was spotted dealing with the law while out in West Hollywood on Wednesday (April 7). The "17 Again" stud got pulled over by local police, after which he was dealt a ticket for making an illegal left turn at a red light in front of Fred Segal. Calmly accepting the officer's punishment, Efron chatted with the policeman before cruising away in his fancy black sports car. The ticket comes the day after Zac spent the evening alongside girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens at Nokia Club LA Live for the 2010 Inaugural St. Jude Children’s Hospital’s “Estrellas Por La Vida” Gala. The "High School Musical" co-star couple took the podium to dish out an award to "High School Musical" director Kenny Ortega for his charitable endeavors.
