What's it really like to be Vanessa Hudgens? The High School Musical cutie reveals all as she chats about missing her prom, traveling the world and the weird lies written about her in the press...


Is it true you missed out on your high school prom, Vanessa?

Vanessa Hudgens: It is true! I was home schooled, so I didn't have a prom - but I had one with High School Musical 3. I really enjoyed filming the prom scene and I think it looks amazing on screen.

Are you sad you missed out on a prom?

Vanessa Hudgens: Not really. The after-parties at the premieres around the world were also a lot like proms because we'd all be dressed up so smartly. I've had quite a few proms now and they've all been really good fun!

What happened at the premiere after-parties?

Vanessa Hudgens: A lot of the events had music blasting and great food - and we'd all dance away. I guess it wasn't exactly like a prom, but all of my best friends were there and that's all that matters.

Sound like the HSM3 premieres were very hard work...

Vanessa Hudgens: Ha ha! I really enjoyed the premieres because I love traveling. I've always wanted to travel, so visiting these different places withHigh School Musical has been an amazing experience.

Did you get any free time off at the premieres?

Vanessa Hudgens: We didn't really have time to tour the places we visited, but I would always try the specialty foods in every place. I loved it. Swedish meatballs were my favourite. They were delicious!

Do you have a favourite vacation destination?

Vanessa Hudgens: Well, that depends on what I want to do during the vacation. London is great for shopping, but I love the beach. It's so relaxing to sit on the sand listening to the waves. I love the sunshine and hot places, so I think I'd prefer to go somewhere exotic today. That might change tomorrow, though!
