OK! magazine reported Hudgens, 18, had been axed from starring in the third film in the hugely popular High School Music series.
A representative for Hudgens denied the claims, telling http://www.cinematical.com the star was “still in negotiations” with Disney.
But OK! magazine quoted an inside source as saying Disney wanted her co-star, Zac Effron, to carry the movie on his own.
“Disney finally decided that they don’t want her back,” the source said.
“They feel that as long as Zac Efron is in the movie, all will be fine. He comes without baggage.”
Controversial nude photos of Hudgens hit the net last month in a scandal that saw the star shed her goody-two-shoes image.
More photos of her posing provocatively with a friend in lingerie hit the net a few days later.
Hudgens apologised for the photos and said she was “embarrassed”. Disney said at the time they were standing by the star.
Vanessa Hudgens made her first appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday. They showed a clip of a 9-year-old Vanessa performing as Cindy Lou at a local production of “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” in San Diego, Calif.
Adorable, no?
The 19-year-old High School Musical star also talked about her very first role in theater: “I auditioned for the Hunchback of Notre Dame and I wanted to be Esmeralda because that’s the girl part. I thought I could get it. But I actually got Quasimodo, the hunchback. So, I walked around with the hunchback and the crazy makeup.”
When asked if she had strict parents, Vanessa shared, “They weren’t that bad. They supported me and let me do acting. I must admit, I did get my mouth washed out with soap once. I actually, still to this day, don’t know why. I must have did something really wrong. I was 4-years-old, I don’t even know I said wrong… I honestly don’t really remember the taste.”
