Happy Birthday Vanessa Hudgens!
Happy Birthday Vanessa Hudgens!
One last year as a teenager. That’s the story for Vanessa Hudgens, who celebrated her 19th birthday on Friday afternoon (December 14).
The High School Musical hottie was all smiles for the cameras throughout her day in Hollywood, as she ventured around town with her mother Gina in tow.
According to paparazzi following her every move, the young actress spent part of the day at an office building before leaving with a Police Escort. Throughout the course of the day, she also received a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Now the question becomes, will her boyfriend Zac Efron get off of filming scenes for “Seventeen” in time to take his girl out for a classy birthday dinner?

Anne Hathaway: ShowWest’s Female Star of the Year
Anne Hathaway: ShowWest’s Female Star of the Year
With all the celebrity sightings as of late, the Waverly Inn is quickly becoming the Katsuya of New York City. Along with Hilary Duff, Anne Hathaway was spotted there last night sans fiancé.
The “Princess Diaries” starlet looked positively cute in a red skirt overtop some grey stockings, with a grey sweater, and knee high black leather boots as she braved the cold weather.
Hathaway is one of the scheduled presenters at this upcoming weekend’s Jon Stewart-hosted Oscar Awards.
And she’ll be receiving the Female Star of the Year at the ShoWest gala coming up on March 13th. ShoWest’s managing director Mitch Neuhauser gushed about his admiration for the actress.
“Since making her big-screen debut, (Hathaway) has gone on to engage audiences of all ages with a broad range of roles, which is quite a testament to this extremely talented young actress. From her roles as a naive young assistant in ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ a feisty cowgirl in ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ a Jane Austen heroine in ‘Becoming Jane’ and a reluctant princess in ‘The Princess Diaries’ and ‘The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement,’ Hathaway has proven to audiences that she can carry any role that comes her way.”
Natalie Portman’s NYC Screening
Natalie Portman’s NYC Screening
She’s back on the promotional trail, and Natalie Portman couldn’t be cuter. She was spotted last night in New York City for the special event.
The Regal Cinemas were the place to be for the special screening of “The Other Boleyn Girl,” where the “Garden State” actress charmed the many clamoring paparazzi in search of a winning photo.
Portman sported a gorgeous black velvet gown along with a half-curly-half-straight coif and some sparse-yet-sophisticated accessory jewelry.
According to a new MSNBC report, part of Natalie’s success has to do with the fact that her mom/manager isn’t after her own glory, but rather the furthering of her daughter’s career.
The report states, “There’s nothing wrong with having a mom-ager, as long as she makes good decisions and isn’t trying to stage-mother her way to fame on your back. Portman’s mother, Shelley Stevens, has served as her agent, and the array of Portman’s film and stage work shows that her mother isn’t frightened by controversy and that she also steers clear of projects that reek of pointless commerciality. Every young actress should have such a guiding influence in her corner.”
