Wait… what?

During recent interview with Interview Magazine (makes sense…) 19-year-old pop star Selena Gomez opened up about why she chose to star in the upcoming Harmony Korine release, Spring Breakers – a film about sex, drugs, partying and well, basically everything Selena isn’t!

I was getting kind of repetitive in terms of the roles I was picking, and I really wanted to do something that was completely different… It was a ‘mark’ thing for me — like, ‘This is what I want to be doing.’ I want to be taking myself seriously as an actress, and this was definitely a stretch. I mean, I’d never smoked a cigarette before in my entire life. It was really funny — they had to show me how to do it.

Fellow Spring Breaker and Pretty Little Liars star Ashely Benson echoed Selena’s sentiment and added that most of their fans shouldn’t even be allowed to see the movie!

Harmony wanted to break us all out of the good-girl mold… For Selena, Vanessa [Hudgens], and me, our audience is all in their teens or younger, so they’re not even going to be able to see this when it comes out — it’s not appropriate.

So, let us make sure we’re getting this straight.  Does doing “inappropriate” movies make you a serious actress these day?  Because we were under the impression that making movies that are actually good was the way to get yourself taken seriously in Hollywood.  But apparently running in a neon bikini for 90-minutes does the same thing.

Go figure.

Just in time for real spring break, Vanessa Hudgens gets caught partying hard on the set of her new film, Spring Breakers.

Relax guys, it was just for the cameras.  We all know better than to suspect V-Hudgens of getting too wild and crazy!

Along with costars Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine, Hudgens has been working hard this week, filming beach scenes for the movie in St. Petersburg, FL.  Hardly sounds like work to us!

In a recent interview with E! News Hudgens opened up about how she can related to her character’s wild side,

I think at the end of the day you have to do parts that you could semi-relate to… I’m certainly not one who is going to rob a bank, but there is a part of me that loves smashing things and I get to do that [in this film].

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island star Vanessa Hudgens looked uber gorgeous as she perused the streets of Paris yesterday, while in search of the perfect Chanel piece.

The 23-year-old stunner was in France to premiere her latest film at the UGC Cine Cite Bercy, along with co-star, Josh Hutcherson.

Too bad she and her hottie BF Austin Butler had to spend their first Valentine’s Day as a couple an ocean away from each other!  Hopefully Vanessa picked him up some fine French goodies to ease the pain of their separation

Vanessa Hudgens, star of Journey 2: Mysterious Island (which opens this weekend people!) recently spoke with Access Hollywood about maintaining a positive body image while in the Hollywood spotlight.

My body is my body…I love myself and I think you’ve got to be proud of the body you have and own it…

Sounds like pretty good advice, especially coming from a gal whose taken some heat in the press for putting on a few pounds since her HSM days.  We think Vanessa looks absolutely gorgeous and has truly come into her own as a beautiful, confident woman!

Having a nice piece of arm candy by your side at all times (ahem, Austin Butler) can’t hurt a girl’s confidence either!

High School Musical sweetheart Ashley Tisdale was spotted leaving the Shamrock Tattoo Parlor in L.A. over the weekend, where the 26-year-old was seen checking out ideas for a brand, spanking new tat.

So wait, I’m confused.  If Ashley’s here, where’s Vanessa Hudgens?

The Tis’ desire for some fresh ink was most likely inspired by new rocker beau, Boys Like Girls frontman, Martin Johnson - but while the Disney good-girl seemed earnest in her search for the perfect new tattoo, she must’ve gotten cold feet, because she left Shamrock with nary an inkblot.

Besides the ones she came in with, that is.

Besties Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale got their work out on together in L.A. Thursday, trying a high impact dance class on for size.

The BFFs were spotted leaving the gym looking fit and flushed with flowers in-hand.  Flowers after a work out?  Talk about some sweet incentive!

According to sources, the girls shook their money-makers to Beyonce’s hit ‘Run the World (Girls)’ during their class with choreographer Jeri Slaughter and looked dang good doing it!

Check out the exclusive footage of Ashley and Vanessa gettin’ their groves on below!

Fresh off her Hawaiian holiday with hottie BF Austin Butler, HSM sweetheart Vanessa Hudgens stopped by The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night to talk about her latest project Journey II: The Mysterious Island and more importantly, her latest tattoo.

Or lack thereof.

BURN!

When Jay Leno asked Hudgens about her new “All You Need is Love” ankle tattoo that debuted in a tabloid photo of her frolicking along the beach with her beau, the 23-year-old stunner had to ‘fess up,

It’s fake. I have this mad obsession with drawing on myself, like, I cannot help it… I draw all over my hands, all over my arms, obviously my foot. It’s just fun. It’s hard to commit to a tattoo, like, I have a few, so, when you write on yourself it’s not that much of a commitment.

Yeah, who needs commitment?  Right Austin?

Check out the video of Vanessa’s appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno below…

Zac Efron who??

From the looks of her major PDA on the beaches of Hawaii this week with boyfriend Austin Butler, Vanessa Hudgens has all but forgotten about her HSM boyfriend of old.

The two lovebirds frolicked in the sand and surf during their recent jaunt to the Aloha state – Is Hawaii called the Aloha state?  If it’s not – it should be.  Write your congressmen!

Vanessa looked svelte and sun-kissed in a slinky red bikini, as she horsed around with her new beau.  The pair is most likely trying to make up for some lost time; Vanessa’s been in Australia promoting her later film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island for the last few weeks.

Must be nice.

And no, it has nothing to do with how terrible their latest project Journey 2: The Mysterious Island looks…

During a recent interview with an Austrailian interviewer, Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens were asked how long they’d been going out together.

Ummmm…  I guess they’re giving anyone with a fedora and a notepad a press badge these days?

Although the pair briefly dated while filming Journey 2, they split back in July and Vanessa’s now dating fellow actor Austin Butler.  While the question certainly provided a few, long, dragged out awkward moments, Josh quickly took the reigns and defuse the situation.

We’re not… We were at one point, but she broke my heart. No, I’m just kidding. That was a while ago. We’re really good friends now.

Phew – thank goodness that’s over!
