NEW YORK —
Following the appearance on the Web of a nude photo of Vanessa Hudgens, an insider reportedly said the "High School Musical" actress once sent risqué photos of herself to Nickelodeon star Drake Bell.
Hudgens had e-mailed photos to the "Drake and Josh" actor a couple of years ago, before she was famous, a source told People magazine.
"Drake says he never received those photos," Bell's rep, Jill Fritzo, told People regarding the images that began hitting blogs on Thursday.
Hudgens, 18, appeared in a 2006 episode of Bell's Nickelodeon show as his character's girlfriend. In real life, Hudgens is reportedly dating her "High School Musical" co-star Zac Efron, and the two are in Australia at the moment, where he is promoting "Hairspray."
The Walt Disney Co. is sticking with the star of its wildly successful "High School Musical" franchise, despite her "lapse in judgment" in posing for racy photos that were leaked to the Internet.
Vanessa Hudgens apologized Friday for the photos, which show her smiling as she posed naked and in underwear in a bedroom with a red curtain behind her.
"Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment," said Disney Channel spokeswoman Patti McTeague. "We hope she's learned a valuable lesson."
She said negotiations were ongoing to land all the actors for a "High School Musical 3" feature film — including Hudgens.
Hudgens, who played the brainy Gabriella in the first two made-for-cable TV movies, told her fans she was sorry.
"I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos," she said. "I am thankful for the support of my family and friends."
Hudgens' publicist, Jill Fritzo, wouldn't say anything about who took the pictures and how they slipped out onto the Internet.
The bookworm Gabriella was the love interest of Troy, the basketball star played by pinup king Efron. The sequel's premiere on Disney Channel last month attracted more than 17 million viewers, making it the summer's most-watched TV program.
Hudgens is a superstar among the preteen set, and Disney has spun a wide merchandising net around the series with albums and concert tours. She and Efron reportedly date in real life, making them big attractions for celebrity magazines.
The films' wholesome nature — for a company that has made its name on family-friendly fare for generations — is a big part of its success. Parents can relax with their children watching, knowing it won't make for any uncomfortable questions.
Gabriella and Troy coo, they make googly eyes, they barely kiss. Gabriella would doubtlessly blush at the idea of a young actress posing for nude photos.
If Disney executives had cut ties to Hudgens, not wanting the company's name associated with anything not G-rated, they would have run the risk of upsetting a formula that has made the company millions upon millions of dollars.
How would parents explain to the show's young fans that the old Gabriella was being replaced by another actress?
"That's her private life, not her public life. That picture got leaked by somebody who broke a trust with her," said Michele Smith of Westborough, Mass., whose 8-year-old daughter Kathryn is a devoted "High School Musical" fan.
Dropping her from future movies or other "High School Musical" projects would not only be unfair to Hudgens but to fans such as Kathryn, Smith said.
"If Vanessa is not in the movie, my daughter would not be so excited to see it," she said.
Smith said she hopes that Kathryn doesn't hear about the photo but, if she does, she's prepared to talk about it. She'll say that it's something private for Vanessa that shouldn't have been shared.
The best thing for Disney was to do nothing, said Michael Le

More photos are out there. Doubt she'll be around for HSM3. One has to wonder about the legal ramifications of all this. Apparently the photos were sent back and forth. Why do these celebs do this? A Mistake? Misguided youth?
Personally, I think this will guaranty that she'll have a more lucrative career than the rest of her co-stars.

what an idiot. in this time, wouldnt you think that someone would figure out that taking the pictures alone is a risk, then posting them on the internet is an even bigger risk?
GAWD these people are stupid >.< career or not, its a dumb idea. its her own dumb fault for even doing it, now she can suffer. i have no sympathy for stupidity.

I've got the link, but I need clarification before I would post it, is she a minor or not and would such a post be an example of spam or just a newsworthy entry?
