Vanessa Hudgens Is (Probably Not) Naked

(Updated!) We're pretty sure that this isn't the actual nude photo of "High School Musical"'s Vanessa Hudgens which she allegedly took of herself as a momento for her alleged boyfriend Zac Efron: her cute but bland features make any sort of conclusive identification difficult, and whoever's showing herself in the photo doesn't seem to be sporting the same navel piercing that Vanessa is wearing in some recent shots of her in a bikini. And it's also curious that she's not holding a cellphone or facing a mirror, since this is supposed to be a self-shot cameraphone pic—and what's up with that stumpy left hand anyway?

Still, we thought it was worth posting about regardless since (1) if there are actual naked photos of Vanessa floating around online, we'd love to see them (for reportage purposes, of course), and (2) we couldn't resist quoting what the folks at IDon'tLikeYouInThatWay have to say about why the whole naked picture rumour is floating around in the first place: "I'm just mostly trying to figure out if this isn't some big conspiracy to hide the fact that Zac Efron is gay. He looks like he'd rather have a tea party or design a Build-A-Bear with Vanessa Hudgens than see her naked." Let's get to work, kids!

*Update TMZ, whose crack reporting skills have never given us reason to doubt, is now saying that the photo is definitely the real deal. We still don't know what the deal is with that stump though. (tmz.com)
