Vanessa Hudgens Bounces Back

Vanessa Hudgens Bounces Back

After what must have been the most embarrassing single incident of her life, Vanessa Hudgens appears to have fully bounced back just two weeks after her nude photo scandal.

The perma-smiling actress was spotted at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Santa Monica yesterday. And as a fun turning the tables trick, she pointed a camera at the paparazzi that were clamoring to get a shot of her.

Later that afternoon, the High School Musical hottie made a quick stop at a Hollywood studio for a photo shoot. She’s looking vibrant and back to normal, according to witnesses.

Hudgens has been given a boost by Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams, who, herself had to deal with a nude photo scandal that ended up costing her the Miss America crown back in 1984. Williams believes that Vanessa is going to be fine.

She told press, “She’s got talent and she’s professional, and those are the things that’ll help her survive in life. You know, welcome to the lesson of hard knocks. She got her first big one right now. I met her and she’s a very sweet, talented girl and I’ve seen ‘High School Musical 2’ a zillion times because of my kids ... and she’ll be fine.”
