Vanessa Hudgens Sued for Legal Fees

Things are getting a tad rough lately for Vanessa Hudgens. First there were photos of her floating around on the Internet of her nakedness, at the age of 18 no less. Now, the ‘High School Musical’ star is being sued for breach of contract by her former lawyer who says that Vanessa owes him an unpaid $150,000 bill.

The complaint was filed September 18 in Los Angeles Superior Court. The lawyer, Brian L. Schall said Hudgens has made more than $5 million from her songwriting and recording deals and that he helped in the negotiations for her as far back as October 2005, according to E! News.

Schall also is claiming unjust enrichment in that he advanced costs and expenses to Hudgens while working on her behalf. Hudgens contracted with the lawyer to pay him five percent of her gross earnings from the deals he negotiated for her and to continue payments until a year after their lawyer-client relationship had ended. Schall did say Hudgens has paid him some money, but not all.

The future of Hudgens’s recording career and her relationship with Disney, who owns High School Musical in which she stars is unknown at the moment. She has been keeping a low profile since the nudity thing and may be able to fall back on the fact that she has starred in cable television’s two most successful shows ever.

High School Musical has been seen by more than 250 million people around the world and HSM2’s premiere brought in 17.2 million viewers. This made it the most-watched cable telecast of all time, and helped land Hudgens at number seven on Forbes’ list of top earners under the age of 21 with $2 million. Forbes’ recently came out with the list of all time money makers with Microsoft’s Bill Gates at the top.

Vanessa Hudgens also appeared on two soundtrack albums and toured the HSM cast. She has inked a deal with Hollywood Records and released her own album, V, last September.

I am a really big fan of yours. I don’t blame you for what happened its not your fault. From what I’ve heard those pics were supposed to be private and it was just bad luck that they got out in the public.I really like your music and the movies High School Musical 1 and 2 which you were in.I hope you can make it through all of the bad stuff thats been happening and that your life returns to how it was before any of this happened.

I think the whole nuded photos thing was silly.. Especially becaus ethey found themselves on the internet but in my opinion she is only young a lot of people around her age have done such things and she only gets shouted out because she is a ‘celebrity’. Why can’t people get into their heads that just because someone is a celebrity they can do everything normal people do. ANd oMG. DoNT evEn GeT mE STarTEd On thE MEdiA!!!!!! -

Get over it people it’s not that much of a big deal!! So what she took nude photos lots of people do that these days it was just bad luck that it got out. She is also not lesbian have you ever seen how many photos there are of people acting lesbian when they aren’t? So what I am trying to say is just leave her to get on with her life. She has a brilliant career and life ahead of her. GIVE HER A BREAK ALREADY!!!!

By Trina on 2008 02 03

By shaina on 2008 02 15

Why would you take pictures of yourself in the nude! Do you know that people think of you as a bad person! You need to take some advice: You + nude = disaster! Oh and by the way I love Zac Efron!

By Brooklyn on 2008 02 17

Me again. I hope you’ve learned your lesson. I am guessing you did this on purpose so people would think your… hot. Did you know, some little kid is mabye playing some game on a computer and all of a sudden something pops up and says it’s for free and when they click it, these naked photos of you pop up! I mean, whats up with that!

By Brooklyn on 2008 02 17

Well, let me try to give you a little bit credit here. They should also sue the people that put the photos onthe enternet.Oh and I know that it’s hard for you. Poeple are telling lies in magizenes about you and people with cameras keep crowding you when you’re just outside your house. So I just want to say, I’m not the bad guy.

By Brooklyn on 2008 02 17

Oh, and what I said about me loving Zac Efron, I don’t want to date him, I just love the way his eyes sparkle!

By Brooklyn on 2008 02 17

I know this girl who said she wants to be just like you when she grows up, now when ever someone asks her about you she says your the meanest person ever. Do you want the world to think that about you?

By Brooklyn on 2008 02 17

I know this is not about the sue thing, but arn’t you gonna dump Zac Efron for the Zashly thing?

By Brooklyn on 2008 02 17
