Vanessa Williams: Vanessa Hudgens ‘Will Be Fine’
I told you this would happen. Vanessa Williams was asked last night about Vanessa Hudgens at the ET/People Emmy after-party last night. And she said just what I thought she would:
“She’s got talent and she’s professional, and those are the things that’ll help her survive in life,” Williams, 44, said at the ET/PEOPLE Emmy party on Sunday. “You know, welcome to the lesson of hard knocks. She got her first big one right now.”
Times, of course, have indeed changed since Williams lost her Miss America crown:
Tags: ugly+betty, vanessa+hudgens, vanessa+williamsThe fallout after the nude pic “taken privately” of Hudgens, 18, surfaced on several Web sites on Sept. 6 was minimal. The young star apologized to fans and has kept a low profile the past few weeks, but Disney stands behind the actress and she has not lost any of her endorsement deals.
“I met her and she’s a very sweet talented girl and I’ve seen High School Musical 2 a zillion times because of my kids … and she’ll be fine,” Williams said.
I sense a mentoring situation. Maybe even a guest starring role on Ugly Betty. Hey, don’t count it out, considering the Disney/ABC connections. But is Hudgens now too big for Ugly Betty? Or vice-versa?
