Vanessa Hudgens will star in CBS Films new project Beastly: A modern-day take on Beauty and the Beast, with Nessa playing the role of the fair maiden. Set in Manhattan, the movie’s ‘Beast’ is a handsome rich kid with a mean streak.

When he ditches a date, the yet-to-be cast character turns out to be a witch
who curses him to become everything he hates. The grotesque transformation leaves him with the seemingly impossible task of finding true love to break the ugly spell. The film will shoot in Montreal in Summer/ Fall 2009.

According to E! Online, Alex Pettyfer is in talks to be Vanessa’s costar. He most recently appeared in Wild Child opposite Emma Roberts & in an ad campaign for Burberry.

The second half of 2009 is looking very much like a very busy time for Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa is set to start filming on not one, but TWO films.

The first is a movie adaptation of a book by Alex Flinn called ???Beastly???. A modern take on the classsic story ???Beauty and the Beast???, the movie will center around a rich handsome teenage boy who turns into a ???beast??? after witch cursed him for being mean and insensitive. Vanessa will play the female lead, Linda/Lindy. Filming starts mid-June in Montreal.

If you are a true Vanessa fan, you??™ve heard the rumbling on the second movie for a couple of months now. Some of you are probably still waiting for Zack Synder to confirm??¦but we can definitely tell you that Vanessa will be in Warner Brothers??™ ???Sucker Punch???. Filming for that will start in September, reportedly in Vancouver.

Jamie Chung (Dragonball Evolution) and Jena Malone (Donnie Darko) have joined the all-female action cast in Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch.”

Zack Snyder’s Watchmen follow-up Sucker Punch has run into a little further casting trouble with two more of his leading cast members dropping out of the project.

First, lead Amanda Seyfried left owing to commitments with other projects, notably her filming schedule for HBO’s Big Love. Now it seems that Emma Stone and Evan Rachel Wood have joined Seyfried in leaving the project, leaving only Abbie Cornish and Vanessa Hudgens from the original five named for the movie.

According to the report on /Film, both Stone and Wood have dropped out owing to scheduling conflicts. I would have to partially go against the assertion made in the /Film article however by saying that this must, just must, have to do with both the disappointing Watchmen box-office and, more than that, with the negative press given to Snyder’s direction of the film.

He certainly picked up praise for taking on the project in the face of such potential fanboy backlash, but his actual direction of the movie was it’s biggest problem, lacking the kind of nuance and emotional intention which goes hand-in-hand with better directors who had been interested in the project.

Anyway, back to Sucker Punch. Joining with Stalwarts Cornish and Hudgens, and Seyfried’s replacement Emily Browning, are Donnie Darko’s Jenna Malone and Dragonball: Evolution’s Jamie Chung.

I’ve seen Malone in a few projects in the past but she’s never struck me or been particularly memorable, outside of her turn in Darko. I literally know nothing about Chung at all so I’ll just give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

So the questions are being raised and the production is beginning to role into gear for Snyder big follow-up. Whether he needs to deliver is unlikely as Watchmen will have given him currency for a little while. But with so many dropouts already, this production is starting to feel troubled from the outset.

Remember that little movie premiere that the idols attended last week, followed by the Efron himself gracing the results night show?

Well, it seems like the premiere wasn’t the first time that Adam Lambert met the Efron.

From this forum post dated April 5, 2009. (Screencap found here)

“Ok, so my brother and his wife and kids walked into their local deli last week and they walked in at the same time as Adam.

He was there to have dinner with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. Here’s a pic taken from the cell phone:”

???Zac Efron? and his on-and-off-screen girlfriend? Vanessa Hudgens? were spotted watching a basketball game on Sunday afternoon, April 19. The twosome headed to L.A.??™s Staples Center to watch the game between Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2009 NBA Playoffs.

Wearing a blue t-shirt and slippers, Zac was photographed cuddling with Vanessa, who looked pretty wearing a white tank top paired with jeans and yellow high heels. The couple showed some affection toward each other during the game.? In related news, Zac Efron??™s new comedy flick ???17 Again??? tops the weekend box office with 24.1 million dollars in ticket sales. It beats? Ben Affleck,? Russell Crowe, and? Helen Mirren??™s ???State of Play??? which only gets 14.1 million dollars in sales. In the meantime,? Miley Cyrus??? ???Hannah Montana: The Movie??? secures the 4th position at the box office as it only gains about 12.7 million dollars.

If you’re like me, you’ve been excited to see Danger get the smack down (translation: get rejected by Ray J and bring the crazy).?  Unfortunately, the Danger send of was a total let down-after dramatically going to the hospital for a night she had a calm talk with Ray J in the morning and he told her he was worried about her and wants her to leave “for her mental health.”?  He didn’t make explicit that he didn’t want to be with her, and she left thinking that even if she wasn’t picked she was still going to see Ray J and be with him because they are in love–”he loves me and I love him and we’re going to be together.”?  Something like that.?  It was completely disappointing-the last we saw of her she still thought she was going to be with him, and never heard differently.?  VH1 PRODUCERS: COME ON.?  We wanted a meltdown.?  Why build up a meltdown and not give it to us? Lame.?  I was waiting for her to come with the crazy.?  But who knows-I guess its even crazier that she left with her head in a cloud–regardless, I can’t wait for next week’s reunion-this better be resolved.?  Apparently, Danger isn’t pregnant after all-I would love to see Ray and her interacting post-show.

So Danger went home in the beginning of the episode then Ray J took Unique and Cocktail to meet their families.?  Quick rundown: Unique’s family is exactly like Ray’s-strong mom, relatively passive but mellow dad, strong women running the households.?  Unique’s mom made clear to Ray that he couldn’t “hit it and quit it” with her daughter, and Ray made (akwardly) clear to the family that he “hasn’t seen the inside of Unique.”?  Yes. That’s right.?  Unique’s mom asked if Ray J has seen the beauty of Unique (Danielle) “inside and out” (clearly meant in the normal way anyone would ask about inner beauty) and Ray J said he “hasn’t seen inside” her.?  It was most unfortunate.?  Overall, he was vibing pretty well with her fam, but then he was off to see Cocktail and her family in Sacramento.

I was interested in seeing Cocktail’s family-they were very different from Unique’s, as Ray pointed out-the women were much more serving while the women in Unique’s house run the show.?  It was an interesting pick between the two girls-he boiled it down pretty well: Cocktail is fun and exciting and giving and Unique is mature and strong and independent.?  Even their one-on-one Vegas dates revealed this; he had a nice, classy, chill evening with Unique but a steamy, sexy night with Cocktail where she did the requisite crying (that she does at least once an episode) and then he gave her outfits to (literally) dance around in the shower with. And there was a stripper pole in the shower.

Anyway, he ended up picking Cocktail because she accepted him for who he was, and not picking Unique because he “wanted her to be with a man who was what she wanted, not that could be what she wanted.”?  This was very perceptive of him, to pick up on the differences between the two and to recognize what they saw in him and what they wanted out of him.?  Cocktail was probably a good pick for him…however I titled this “season 1″ because I just heard on the rumor mill (twitter) that they’ve been casting for a season 2, which is supposedly going to be filmed in 3 weeks.?  A very observant Tweeter pointed out that it’s doubtful that you can find love competing for it with 15 other girls in 3 weeks, saying “The only thing you can catch in 3 weeks is crabs.” Brilliant! I really liked Unique, she was very together, very smart/independent, very mature–but Ray J was often like a little boy around her and he was probably right about her finding someone who was more of what she was looking for.?  And I don’t think he’s *quite* ready to give up his “groupie love.”

So, hats off, Cocktail.?  Not only do you look like Vanessa Hudgens, but you also look a little bit like Kim Kardashian–and now you’re Ray J’s girlfriend.?  That is, until Season 2. Get it, girl!
