Vanessa Hudgens ZacVanessaFired.jpgOK! Magazine reports that 18-year-old starlet Vanessa Hudgens will not be asked to return for the third installment of High School Musical. Uh-oh, girl's gonna be replaced! And why? "They feel as long as Zac Efron is in the movie, all will be fine," reveals an inside source. "He's the real star - the household name - and, most importantly, he comes without baggage."

Baggage, huh? Is that what they're calling it these days?

UPDATE! Hudgens' publicist told Access Hollywood that this is untrue - "It is an old rumor." (Of course, that's what publicists do.) Disney is apparently still in negotiations with the HSM stars, though... so it might be true! We'll just hafta see!
