What would possess a young woman who is part of a successful Disney franchise to derail her career by allowing herself to be photographed naked? And not just topless either, Vanessa gives us the full monty.

The Post Chronicle (citing US Magazine as the source) says Disney has parted ways with Ms. Hudgens over the scandal generated from a nude photo circulating on the internet. They are also stating Disney has already replaced her role on HSM:

In light of the scandalous nude photograph recently posted on the web, Walt Disney's decided to part ways with Hudgens and, according to reports, have even already replaced her part in 'High School Musical"Due to the recent scandal of "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens' naked photo scandal, Execs at have parted ways with the star and have decided to replace her with "Cheetah Girls" star Adrienne Bailon.

Well, we don't know if this rumor is substantiated with fact, but before I saw that headline this morning, I assumed it was a matter of time before Disney dumped Ms. Hudgens. They are a very protective of their "wholesome" image.

So what did possess Vanessa? I have two theories. Perhaps she's so incredibly naive (and stupid), she thought no one but the taker of the photo would ever see them and therefore it was a safe, albeit ridiculous thing to do. Ms. Hudgen's official statement would imply certainly imply this:

"This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public."

This was the logical PR move. Pretend they were taken in private, leave it at that and let the media sort it out. This would allow her to keep her "reputation" intact, and perhaps even garner some sympathy for having her privacy violated. Sounds great in theory, but this is Hollywood.
