Vanessa Hudgens: Keeping Busy in NYC
Vanessa Hudgens: Keeping Busy in NYC
It’s the beginning of a whirlwind few months for Vanessa Hudgens. And she’s been spending the week in New York City tending to her promotional duties.
Yesterday, the High School Musical cutie was spotted on her way to a photo shoot at the Pier 59 Studios in the Chelsea Piers district of Manhattan, following appearances on Good Morning America and Live with Regis and Kelly.
And the day before, Miss Hudgens was busying herself with a visit to MTV Studios in Times Square to tape a segment for the teen-popular Total Request Live.
Vanessa recently told press that despite her nude photo scandal last year, she’s still holding out hope that she can maintain her image as a role model for young girls.
She said, “At the end of the day I have to be happy with myself. Just going to live my life and enjoy doing it. You only have one shot… of course I want to be a good role model and try to do my best but I’m still me.”

With her hectic schedule, this girl must be toting some Red Bull around with her! Vanessa Hudgens tended to her promotional duties this morning (July 2) with an appearance on “Good Morning America” followed by a stop at “Live with Regis and Kelly.”
And the “High School Musical” hottie looked as cute as ever in a wispy white and blue shirt teamed with a pair of designer jeans and strappy heeled sandals.
Vanessa has been going non-stop since she arrived at JFK International Airport earlier this week. And with the release of her new album Identified, it’s no wonder.
Of the new disc, Vanessa tells: “Identified is a lot of fun. It’s my second album. It’s just me identifying myself. I’ve also been into things that are a little different–a jazzier feel. I wanted to interpret that into my album. It’s a different part of me that no one’s ever heard before.”
Talking about her upcoming tour, the HSM cutie explains: “In August, I’m gonna go on a state fair tour, which I’m really excited about. I’m just gonna be eating cotton candy all morning! [And] I’m actually going to be doing some show with (High School Musical co-star) Corbin Bleu, so I’m just thrilled to do it.”
Meanwhile, yesterday she paid a visit to MTV Studios in Times Square for an appearance on Total Request Live, followed by a high-profile dinner out at the Waverly Inn.

When it comes to fanfare and pandemonium, it’s hard to compete with the Jonas Brothers . And this morning was just another example of how much their fans love them.
The JoBros are currently in New York City on a promotional tour for their new movie Camp Rock that hits the Disney Channel airwaves next Friday June 20th at 8pm.
And as part of their duties, Nick, Joe, and Kevin paid a visit to “Live with Regis and Kelly.” But first they had to wade their way through a sea of adoring fans outside their hotel.
Not to worry- armed with killer smiles and Sharpie markers, the three heartthrobs made quick work of meeting and greeting their peeps before heading over to the TV studio.

Mario Lopez and Kelly Ripa: Grilling with the Stars
One of the reasons Kelly Ripa loves her gig on “Live With Regis and Kelly” is that she gets paid to hang out with studs like Mario Lopez!
On yesterday’s show, Ripa was joined by the former Saved By The Bell hunk and his mother Elvia Lopez for a cooking segment entitled Grilling With the Stars.
And Mario looked studly in a white button-up shirt, jeans, and his very own Regis & Kelly apron as he cuddled up to the blonde bombshell, sporting a conservative-yet-sexy black dress.
In relationship news, Lopez recently split with his Dancing with the Stars girlfriend Karina Smirnoff. Karina’s publicist told press, “Karina has parted ways with her two-year relationship with Mario Lopez. The relationship wasn’t heading in the right direction.”
Mr. Lopez also commented, “Karina and I have the utmost respect for each other. She is a phenomenal and talented woman. I support her always and feel blessed to have her in my life.”
