Vanessa Hudgens

Despite reports that Vanessa Hudgens was dropped by Disney, the 18-year-old has signed a contract to appear again as Gabriella Montaz in ‘High School Musical 3.’ Ashley Tisdale has also agreed to return for the third installment of the hit Disney movie. Since Hudgens’ nude photo scandal earlier this year the R&B singer/actress was said to be dropped by Disney. Disney maintained that they supported Hudgens despite the scandal. Hudgens’ co-star and boyfriend Zac Efron is still in negotiations. Hudgens and Tisdale reportedly received a “substantial increase in pay” in their agreement.
