Here are those gorgeous pictures of Vanessa Hudgens leaving TRL that I was telling you about. Doesn’t she look great?! I can’t imagine seeing that plaid dress look better on anyway. Notice her can of Red Bull? What a great advertisement for them and also a great way for Vanessa to stay energized during all her press events she has going on.

Vanessa stopped by TRL to perform “Sneakernight” and promote her new album Identified. I believe her TRL segment will air on Thursday of this week. I’ll keep a look out for it.

It has been so nice having some new pictures of Vanessa Hudgens now that she’s done filming High School Musical 3. She has been out and about everywhere lately! We have seen her leaving TRL looking gorgeous in a plaid dress. We have seen her on The Insider and we’ve seen her at the JFK airport.

Yep, she’s been one busy woman out promoting her new album Identified, which hit stores yesterday.

The picture above is of Vanessa out and about doing some New York City shopping at Intermix. You can’t go to NYC and not do some shopping! I wonder what’s in that bag. She sure is looking cute and stylish in her skinny jeans, those ever so popular gladiator type sandals and her summery flowing shirt.

I imagine that will we have a lot more Baby V pictures as she continues to promote her album and then HSM3!

Vanessa Hudgens was on “The Insider” today and she is talking about all kinds of things. She talks about her music, her video and her favorite guy Zac Efron. She also mentions how the girls in her Sneakernight music video were also in High School Musical 3. She also mentions that she will miss hanging out with everyone now that HSM3 is done for her. What a great interview!

Vanessa Hudgens was spotted at the JFK airport and is obviously done filming High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Now she can focus on promoting her new album Identified, which drops today!

On Thursday, Vanessa will visit TRL on perform “Sneakernight“. Vanessa’s album has received quite the mixed reviews. It is definitely a love it or hate it kind of thing. I personally like her new sound and think it’s awesome that she went out on a limb and made something that was different.

Congrats to Baby V on the release of “Identified”!

I love videos like this! It’s a behind-the-scenes look at Vanessa Hudgens’ “Sneakernight” music video. It seems like everyone had a lot of fun. My favorite part is where that guy is dancing and everyone is laughing at him. That boy has some moves!!

Don’t forget that Vanessa’s album “Identified” is available in the U.S. on July 1st. An import version is available on Amazon yesterday, or should I say was available. I checked on it yesterday and it was out of stock. Uh-oh, I hope they get that straightened out!

Vanessa Hudgens is on the cover of CosmoGirl, which is available for purchase on July 1st. You can see her cover as well as a sneak peek at her interview here. She talks about Zac and gives some romance advice.

If you take a look at Vanessa Hudgens’ Facebook and MySpace pages, you’ll notice they have been updated. They take us on an in-depth look of V’s new album “Identified“. She’s also talking about her character in “Rock On” (previously titled Will) and of course, a little bit about High School Musical 3.

As many of you know after listening to her single “Sneakernight“, V’s album took an unexpected turn for her fans. This is a sound from V that we have never heard before.

“This time I did what I wanted to do,” she says. “I always had a knack for a more soulful, jazzy sound, so right off the bat I wanted to kind of let loose, and come up with a sound no one has heard from me before.”

When I first heard V’s new single, I was in shock. I actually had to listen to it three more times to make sure it was her and to let the new sound kind of sink in a little. After hearing it twice, I was hooked! It is now one of my favorite songs.

Vanessa says, “Dancing in sneakers makes it all the better. People haven’t been able to see that side of me. I can kick butt!”

Vanessa is best known for her role as Gabriella Montez in High School Musical 1 and 2. After those movies, she became a household name among kids. I think with her new album coming out, she’s going to be known by more than just HSM fans. She’s reaching an audience outside of HSM.

What does V have to say about the upcoming Disney movie “High School Musical 3“?

“It’s got all of us back in senior year,” she says. “It’s going to be pretty crazy, with so much more dancing and singing. We’re just stepping it up.”

Stepping it up? That’s what I like to hear!

Read the full article below.

She knows it’s coming. With two major motion pictures, a new album and an international mega-tour on tap for 2008, Vanessa Hudgens can sense the approaching cyclone. The media frenzy, the blur of time zones, the roar of the arena crowd: it’s all part of the package. But having been around this block before, the 19-year-old singer is more than ready. With her new Hollywood Records CD, Identified, Vanessa Hudgens has matured, revealing a level of sophisticated artistry sure to thrill long-time fans and draw in new fans as well.

Working with A-list songwriter-producers like JR Rotem, Dr. Luke, Tim James & Antonina Armato, Vanessa took unexpected turns on the new album. “This time I did what I wanted to do,” she says. “I always had a knack for a more soulful, jazzy sound, so right off the bat I wanted to kind of let loose, and come up with a sound no one has heard from me before.” She’s not exaggerating. For those familiar with her sweet-toned performances from the “High School Musical” films – which catapulted her to superstardom – or her 2006 debut CD, V, Vanessa has some gritty surprises in store.

Vanessa’s first single and video, “Sneakernight,” is both fun and funky, and may end up as one of the CD’s most enduring hits. Says Vanessa, “Dancing in sneakers makes it all the better. People haven’t been able to see that side of me. I can kick butt!”

Identified kicks off with “Last Night,” the raucously rhythmic opener featuring Vanessa singing over her own chanted harmonies. “I loved it the minute I first heard it,” she says of the song. “It’s really intricate and really fun, something you don’t hear very often.” Best known as a singer and actress, Vanessa is also a superb dancer, so for the new album she raised the stakes with pummeling dance tracks like “Hook It Up,” “First Bad Habit” and the hook-laden title track, “Identified.”

With “Don’t Ask Why,” “Don’t Leave” and the heartfelt “Paper Cut,” there’s no shortage of ballads on the album. Vanessa says ballads are her forte. “I like showing the vulnerable side,” she notes. “It’s a position a lot of girls find themselves in, where love takes control of you and you don’t have any control over it.”

Songs like “Party on the Moon” and the hip-hop-flavored “Amazed” place Vanessa at the forefront of contemporary pop interpreters.

Vanessa ends the album with “Gone with the Wind,” a wistful lament about change in the wake of faded love. The lyrics tell a tale of a confident woman evolving out of the wide-eyed girl of before.

Sound familiar? That’s Vanessa Hudgens, who became a household name following her starring role in the smash 2005 made for TV Disney Channel film, “High School Musical.” In the years since, in film, music and performance, Vanessa has proven her appeal to both youth and adult audiences.

From the age of eight, the Salinas, CA, native displayed a talent beyond her years. Starting with local productions of popular musicals, Vanessa later moved with her family to Southern California to pursue her dreams. With her 2004 motion picture debut in the critically acclaimed “Thirteen,” Vanessa landed roles in “Thunderbirds,” as well as TV’s “Quintuplets,” “Still Standing,” “The Brothers Garcia” and “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.”

Everything changed with the January 2006 premiere of the Disney Channel movie “High School Musical,” in which she starred as Gabriella Montez. The film gathered steam right away, spawning a hit soundtrack, a worldwide concert tour, a show at Walt Disney World and even a book series. It made superstars of Vanessa and her co-star, Zac Efron.?

“We had no idea,” she says, when asked if she sensed at the time the film would become a cultural phenomenon. “We were just having fun: just kids doing what we love most, and it turned out big.”

Vanessa’s RIAA certified gold debut CD, V, shipped September 2006, with hit singles like “Come Back To Me” and “Say OK” following soon after. She reprised her role as Gabriella in “High School Musical 2,” which premiered on the Disney Channel in August 2007. That same month, Vanessa was named Choice Breakout Singer at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards. She also landed commercial contracts with companies like Neutrogena and Mark Ecko.

As for her acting career, Vanessa is set to star in the highly anticipated “High School Musical 3,” which reunites the cast from the first two films. “It’s got all of us back in senior year,” she says. “It’s going to be pretty crazy, with so much more dancing and singing. We’re just stepping it up.” Vanessa will also co-star in the comedy, “Rock On,” alongside Alyson Michalka, Gaelan Connell, and Lisa Kudrow. She plays Sam, a 15-year old high school outcast with an enduring love of music. “It’s a fun movie about friendship,” says Vanessa. “I got to play a completely different character, one who is downbeat and moodier.”

In real life, Vanessa Hudgens couldn’t be more upbeat, especially with the release of Identified. Not only does the album affirm her standing in contemporary pop, it points the way for a gifted artist on the ascent. “I’m just really happy and thankful for my fans and the support everyone continues to give me,” she says. “I feel I’m at such a great point in life. I hope everyone enjoys my album, because I totally enjoyed making it.”
