Vanessa Hudgens' representative has confirmed that a nude photo circulating on the Internet is indeed the star of the extremely popular 'High School Musical' movies. "This was a photo which was taken privately," said Jill Fritzo, Hudgens' publicist. "It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public." The National Enquirer was the first to report of the photo's existence, and it has since surfaced on various web sites. The photo shows Hudgens standing naked in what appears to be a bedroom, with a red curtain behind her. Sources have also denied a published report that Hudgens will be dropped from the upcoming feature film 'High School Musical 3.' That movie is in development and negotiations with the stars are incomplete. Hudgens portrayed Gabriella, the brainy love interest of Zac Efron's basketball star character in the first two 'High School Musical' made-for-cable movies. The two are said to be dating in real life.

Gainsbourg Has Surgery






Actress Charlotte Gainsbourg is "doing fine" and recovering from a brain hemorrhage in a Paris hospital, says her husband, Yvan Attal. She was taken to the Clinique Monceau in Paris, France late on Wednesday and was operated on by brain specialist Stephanie Delajoux. Late Wednesday, she was still in a coma, but out of danger. Delajoux says, "The operation went well and she is not at risk anymore." Gainsbourg had been suffering from headaches for several weeks following a waterskiing accident in the US last month. Thursday afternoon, Attal said his wife was improving. He said, "She is doing fine. I spoke to her, she replied and I kissed her. She is fine. It's not as bad as the media says it is. She may be able to leave the hospital within the next couple of days."

Paris Hilton Sells Home






Paris Hilton sold her 1926 Spanish-style Hollywood Hills home for $4.25 million. Hilton is buying a larger home in a gated community or, one with a long gated driveway, according to her aunt and informal spokeswoman, Kyle Richards. Hilton bought the four-bedroom residence in 2004 for about $2.9 million, during the second season of her reality show, 'The Simple Life.' She redecorated the interior in black and white and transformed one bedroom into a walk-in closet and another into a security control room. During Hilton's recent legal woes, her home was the center of a media invasion that was upsetting her neighbors. The throng of reporters and paparazzi staked out the home above Sunset Boulevard, capturing her move from jail to home and back again. The onslaught caused some residents to circulate a letter advising neighbors to call police about the noise and traffic. Richards, says their discomfort was not a factor in Paris' decision to sell. "I'm sure they'll be happy to see the paparazzi go, but that had nothing to do with it," Richards says. "She can't control the people who are outside."

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been caught taking drugs in rehab. She was allegedly forced to undergo a drug test by the staff at Utah's Cirque Lodge facility, and the results came back positive. Lohan has now been warned if she does not stay clean she will be thrown out of the center. A source claims, "Lindsay got called into the director's office and was questioned about drugs. When ordered to take a drug test, she reluctantly complied but screamed and cursed at the medical director before storming out the room. She was told that if she couldn't conform to the program she'd have to leave." According to reports, this is not Lohan's first indiscretion since entering Cirque Lodge earlier this month. She was reportedly caught having sex in a toilet stall with a male patient, who is also at Cirque for drug rehab. She is reportedly frequently late to meetings and refuses to do any chores or menial tasks such as toilet cleaning duties. Lohan entered the rehab center following her arrest after a high-speed car chase in Santa Monica. She was in possession of cocaine when she was taken into custody. Last week, Lindsay pleaded guilty to two charges of being under the influence of a controlled substance (cocaine) and pleaded no contest to two charges of DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol). She also pleaded no contest to one charge of reckless driving. After entering her plea bargain, she was sentenced to one day in jail and 36 months probation for her offences and ordered to undergo an 18-month alcohol rehabilitation program. This is Lohan's third stint in rehab. She previously stayed at the Wonderland and Promises facilities in Los Angeles.

Paris Hilton has reached a settlement in a $10 million defamation lawsuit between her and diamond heiress-actress Zeta Graff. In the suit, Graff claimed that Hilton spread "vicious lies" about her to the media in 2005. Both sides reached an "amicable resolution," but the details were kept confidential, according to a statement released by Graff's attorney, Bruce Broillet. "Both parties are glad that the matter could be resolved without the time and expense of a trial," Broillet said in the statement. In the suit, Graff claimed that Hilton spread the lies about her to the New York Post. The Post reported that Graff, who once dated Hilton's then-fiancee, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, went "berserk" at a nightclub, tried to strangle Hilton and attempted to steal her diamond necklace. Graff denied the report and claimed that Hilton said, "I'm going to destroy you" after trying to oust her from the club, according to the suit. Hilton denied that she was behind the report. Hilton's former publicist, Rob Shuter, said in a deposition that Hilton asked him to help plant the story and that he gave the paper comments, dictated by Hilton, that he attributed to himself, Hilton and anonymous sources.

Scarlett Johansson has laughed off claims she will play porn star Jenna Jameson in a Hollywood biopic. Jameson prompted reports recently when she said of Johansson's performance in 'Lost In Translation,', "I remember thinking to myself, 'this girl has such a sexuality without even really trying to be sexy. I was like, 'This girl could play me.'" "I love her. She's amazing. She's smart, she's funny. She's stunning. I don't want someone who's going to go in there and be like bouncing around. I want someone who can bring some depth." But Johansson says she knows nothing of the film project, based on Jameson's book "How to Make Love Like A Porn," which is to be titled "Heartbreaker." Johansson's representative says, "Scarlett has never seen a script nor been approached about this project. She also has no interest in playing this role."

Vivica A. Fox has been barred from drinking alcohol, just one sip could bring her back in front of the judge. In Los Angeles County Superior Court, a judge ordered Fox to stay sober until her September arraignment, but didn't bar her from associating with those who are drinking. "She can be around alcohol because of the nature of her work" the judge said, adding "but she cannot consume or possess it. I am not permitting her to consume alcohol." If Fox does drink, she could be forced to hand over thousands in bail money, due to the fact that she was originally released on her own recognizance. Fox was arrestedfor DUI in March, after she raced past the police at a high rate of speed on the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. She reportedly registered .09 on a Breathalyzer test, just over the .08 legal limit. If convicted, Fox faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
