Vanessa Hudgens isn’t taken with being a celebrity – she probably enjoyed it more before the whole world saw her nude, but I can see other drawbacks in addition to her nudie pics suddenly becoming more valuable.

“It is a dog-eat-dog world,” the singer, who first came to prominence in the Thunderbirds movie, says. “People want to know about people’s business; no one really has a sense of privacy because everyone is trying to get into your business.

“And people become jaded and infatuated with Hollywood. I think it happens to a lot of celebrities and it messes with their head.”

While some actually like the extra attention, Hudgens says it’s not really for her.

“I don’t like people staring at me all the time and I don’t want people following me around,” she says.

“I became an actress and started singing and dancing because I truly loved it. I did not want to be a celebrity; I did it because I genuinely enjoy doing it. I think fame is just something that comes along when you are in something that is such a success.

“Fame is an interesting thing but my fans are very supportive and I thank them so much.”

She also reveals that she was going to audition for American Idol, but couldn’t as the show has a minimum age of 16 to audition.

Zac Efron is also busy these days, playing a role in HSM3 (reportedly paying $3 million) and in a new movie with Matthew Perry titled ‘17’.

Zac Efron is attached to star in the new film, about a middle-aged father who wakes up one day to find that he’s somehow become a teenager. Matthew Perry, star of “Friends” and “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” will play the older version of Efron’s character.

Can anyone say ‘Big’ rip off? Surely this wasn’t a good film to sign up for, it just sounds so lame. The character goes to high school with his teenage kids to get to know them better.

Are the HSM stars cursed? Vanessa Hudgens will probably disappear from film after HSM3, as she says it’s a ‘dog-eat-dog world’. And Zac Efron grows up to be Matthew Perry! That’s a curse if ever I heard of one. Watch out Ashley Tisdale. Then again, I could be completely wrong, it’s been known to happen occasionally.
