Vanessa Hudgens: ‘New Moon’ Rumor Control

Vanessa Hudgens: ‘New Moon’ Rumor Control

Vanessa Hudgens has NOT auditioned for New Moon, her rep tells JustJaredJr.com.

The 20-year-old singer/actress reportedly auditioned for the Twilight sequel for the role of werewolf Leah Clearwater.

“I don’t know anything about the audition,” Vanessa’s rep tells JJJ. “As far as I know, it’s just a rumor.”

Seems that Ashley Greene’s comment about Vanessa was taken way out of context because SpoilerTV is reporting that the character of Leah isn’t even being cast for!

UPDATE: New Moon screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg confirms this report, saying, “If Vanessa is auditioning for the role of Leah, she’s written her own pages to read, ’cause I didn’t write ‘em.”

I can not believe: (vanessa and perfect for the role she is capable. I do not trust very well in just jared. I need more sources to see! not trust. I hope this is true. I would very much like her in the film.

Wait so Leah isn’t going to be in the movie…i shall cry…I like Vanessa but i think anyway that Leah needed a stronger person, idk someone a little more rough, but she would’ve been good, anyone just so that Leah would’ve appeared in the movie.

i dont care all the vanessa fans can hate on me
but seriously if she’s in the movie i will go crazy. she will ruin the bl**dy film and also she’s goin to bring her disney self into and make it a disney piece of crap dont care but this movie is really good and she will ruin it for all the twilighters out there
she cant even play the part if you have read all the twilight books then you will agree so what if she looks the part
she cant play it!!!!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

joss @ 3:46 pm on 01/12/2009

thank god it’s only a rumour! she can’t act and she wouldn’t be able to play leah and the emotions that she has and what leah went through…she would probably just put on some crying face and let it be…so NO NO NO, no vanessa in new moon! no disney especially ones that are trying to break out of the disney rep., no disney leftovers!

Chris @ 3:47 pm on 01/12/2009

Im a really big fan of these books, and I really think than Vanessa is not the right person to act as leah.
and leah does not have a role in new moon, only in eclipse and breaking dawn, so this rumor is really really false cuz they are not casting for that role

sam @ 4:01 pm on 01/12/2009

I do not believe that Poso confirmed that she will not be in the movie? This left me very sad, much like her in the film. and her beautiful and great actress. I hope this is a lie. VANESSA PLEASE MAKE NEW MOON

#30
Krissy @ 4:02 pm on 01/12/2009

:(

I WANTED her to atleast try out
and be amazing in it!
V can prove to anyone she’s good, at anything, she puts her mind too.
She has the voice, the looks, the personality..
and her as a hot werewolf..
most def!
WHO cares, if it’s not her style..
there’s tons of people, who don’t look certain for a role, then suddenly gets it, from there talent abilities.
I wanted someone in new moon or breaking dawn to make it more realistic and SO hardcore. ( sorry, but the first movie, wasn’t as appealing , from the looks of the trailer)

KK
people who didn’t want her to be casted as the role
keep your comments to yourself at least
no one really cares what your opinion is
YOU proved yourself to everyone else
along with other people who agrees to your decision
yea! you got your wish..she didn’t audition..
moving on please -.-

anyways
oh well
it was just a rumor..
* sigh*

Now, I’m completely agree with Midz!!! She can’t act in Twilight! It’s just NOT possible at all!! She’s a Disney actress, come on! She’s got nothing to see with Twilight!
Just thanks GOD she’s not auditioned !!

Leah isn’t even in new moon we don’t get introduced to leah until the third book eclipse and she isn’t even a big part of the book. And I REALLY think vanessa would ruin it because leah has to be tough and rude and im sorry but I don’t think vanessa can bring that

#34
Lauren @ 4:07 pm on 01/12/2009

it would be amazing if she was leah.
she’d be great for the part

#36
lilstaa @ 4:10 pm on 01/12/2009

I think she’d really be able to do this. I believe in her so much and all V-haters FYI she’s totally different (i mean much different from gabriella) in her music videos and her songs’ lyrics are not any ‘disney-sauced’… Rarely if ever has some former disney channel’s actor stopped acting after their teenage period… so now its time for her to shine more than ever!

zanessa xoxo @ 4:21 pm on 01/12/2009

I don’t get it, people are already saying that she can’t play such role when they haven’t even seen her play like that. the only side we’ve see from vanessa is mostly the goody-goody side like hsm and thunderbirds. I know vanessa is a very talented person and is able to pull off any role so I believe that someday she will prove to those people who say she ‘cant act’ that she really can.
anyways, as of the leah part at first I was really excited to hear that vanessa was being considered as one of the people being chosen from to play leah in new moon..but after a while I realized that leah is not such a big part at all and vanessa is already a well-known and succesful actress so I think she should choose parts that will be in the main roles. as much as I would love seeing her working with robert pattinson and that absolutely gorgeous guy named taylor lautner. but I know that the right part will come in very soon.
lastly, is there actually going to be a leah in new moon? oh well I don’t care that much as long as they make sure that new moon will be 10 times better than twilight im ok with it. and also vanessa’s bandslam is something to look forward too :) im really sorry for my bad english guys xoxo

kris @ 4:37 pm on 01/12/2009

i think a smaller role in a large movie with such a tough character to play would be great for her. with something like this i think it’d be good to start small- especially since she hasnt been in anything beyond HSM where she was the happy go lucky girl. i think she’d get more recognition like that- it’d be a good way to show what she can do without the whole movie riding on her talent in a main role

#44
zanessa/jashley @ 4:38 pm on 01/12/2009

I hope you guys know that ACTING is all about stepping into someone else’s shoes, right ? I mean, Vanessa’s going to play Sam in Bandslam, and Vanessa’s playing some sort of emo girl…think about it. The sweet shy Gabriella Montez to The Emo Girl, Silent girl Sam.

I think that Vanessa could pull it off…she IS a good actress. But then again, I thought that Twilight was a horrible movie..so I’m glad that she isn’t in it. Sorry, but I really didn’t like Twilight, it really disappointed me. The only reason WHY i watched Twilight was because of Taylor Lautner ♥

#45
angela @ 4:38 pm on 01/12/2009

sorry but I have to agree with #16 but I wouldn’t mind her doing a movie with Taylor from Twilight though.

#46
Katty @ 4:47 pm on 01/12/2009

Reps always say that because if the person they are representing doesn’t get that part they don’t want everyone to know. I would love to see V in Twilight/New Moon because Leah is kinda mean, and would expand V’s actress-ing. It would give her a new experience

Vanessa is in talks to star in a movie called Dreary and Naughty, to be Naughty. Hmm.. sounds fun!

I can’t wait for Bandslam, I am going to go see it opening weekend.

#47
ania @ 4:49 pm on 01/12/2009

i dont care what she does, i’ll just support her on evrything.
and i also think that the people should give her opportunity in playing new characters.

Kaycee @ 5:14 pm on 01/12/2009

Now I think Vanessa is a good actress, so don’t start cursing me out.

i just DONT see her as Leah. I udnerstand Vanessa wants to try out for more ‘racier’ so to speak roles, but she is not what I pictured at all for Leah. Isn’t Leah native American as well? Vanessa doens’t really look the part.

Again, DONT curse me out. If you can spread your opinion, why can’t we share ours?

#55
annabel @ 5:22 pm on 01/12/2009

wow if vanessa played in neew moon then i guess its the end for me bcuz if she played in the movie then gud luk cuz i wouldnt pay to see her.I think it would be better if sumone else played Leah. she should stick to her singing and dancing n stay out da movie

Kris @ 5:25 pm on 01/12/2009

okay no ..
she would not have made a good leah.
period.
end of discussing
so thank goodness she won’t be part of New moon …
and you know
what all these disney stars get over paid way too much.. She got paid freaking 2 mil. oh HSM 3.. New Moon isn’t going to pay an actress like her that much money for her “acting skills” *cough*
especially not a movie with only a 50 mil. budget which isn’t that much to make a movie like New moon especially with CGI
and for all her fans saying you want her to explore a different character … she can do it in another movie.. one that’s not a musical one that may actually prove she’s capable of acting a different character than the same sweet girl all the time… && Even if she was in NM she would get what ? like 5 minutes on screen ?? Leah is a minor character .. And of course if she were to get casted all the attention on the media would be “Vanessa in NM!!” .. That wouldn’t be fair to Rob and Kristen and Nikki and Ashley and the whole cast that were practically barely unknown before twilight.. they deserve attention especially cuz they have actual talent and can portray a character more in depth than just someone that smiles on cue and giggles.
ughh.

#59
jenny @ 5:26 pm on 01/12/2009

I am so glad that she isn’t playing Leah Vanessa would definilty reck the movie. I am a huge twilight fan and if Vanessa were to join I would kill myself………….ok maybe not be I would definlty protest the movie outside the theater

#60
Kris @ 5:33 pm on 01/12/2009

ohh p.s.
I’m a different Kris.
haha.
and to add.
I know that acting is supposed to step into someone else’s shoes ..
but I seriously don’t think Vanessa can pull this role off .. AT ALL… She’s yet to prove her acting skills what so ever and she’s got so much learning to do when it comes to conveying emotions on screen it’s ridiculous .. her acting is so average.. and until i see her in an amazing movie that shows her different side.. *yes i know bandslam is coming but honestly how far of a stretch is that.. last time i checked she’s still singing .. and she’s supposed to be “silent sam” .. how much line is a silent person supposed to get idk* but maybe one day she’ll do some sort of indie film that will amaze everyone and my opinion of hers will change .. but in any means i won’t believe she’s capable of doing a serious mature role just because she’s stuck with doing these mediocre good girl roles.. she has got to shy away from that fast before her career starts to go down the drain.

i don’t hate her .. i think she’s actually quite beautiful and i thought her album and her songs were pretty good..
but she needs to improve in the acting department.
even the fans can agree that she’s a horrible actress.

Nicole @ 6:13 pm on 01/12/2009

I am disapointed she is beautiful and talented, summit is making a mistake if they don’t cast her….. everyone one of the cast has large amounts of haters who did not approve of the cast, but everyone got over it. I hope Vanessa does the movie just to piss everyone of those jerks off! Hopefully she will star in a better movie.

well i hope she didnt really audition..im sorry but i cant and will never see her playing leah…she is HSM and should stay on that side…i hope this rumor doesnt give her any ideas to play leah in the future..oh and im pretty sure they are going to have a leah in the movie..they have to…she is one of the reasons (kind of)edward thinks bella is dead…so im pretty sure they will have her in the second one

I think V is good but she’s not the right girl for Leah role.
She has too sweet face and to sweet voice for Leah . Leah is supposed to be like rough but still a beauty. V is more a sweetie.

@maya

Leah isn’t a reason Edward thinks Bella is dead . It’s Rosaline

#77
Midz @ 7:06 pm on 01/12/2009

Look people
you need to understand she can’t be in New Moon
if you havent read New Moon and your saying she should be in it then you cant say anything because you don’t even know what type of character Leah is and also Leah Clearwater is suppose to be strong and she is a werewolf and Vanessa wont be able to play the part she aint strong and she doesnt fit the characters appearance or whatever u say
so all u vanessa fans need to stop saying she can play the part just cause u like her cause its not about liking her its about the characters appearance and stuff okay
BTW YOU CAN HATE ON ME ALL U VANESSA AND ZANESSA FANS BUT FRANKLY I COULDNT GIVE A TOSS ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#78
Roxana @ 7:21 pm on 01/12/2009

why not?? many people are afraid that she cant play a strong role…Vanessa has lots of talent, but not because she was in a kid’s movie doesnt mean she cant play a bad girl or something else, if you know what i mean…she played once a mean and preppy girl in nickolodeon and also a funny and comic kid in the suite life before……she has been in an action movie, so why not try “new moon”…i honestly think she needs to get away from kids movies and try something different to shows us her hidden talent. i think she can do good….we just need to see and have faith. Vanessa can also play different roles, not just a sweet and inocent girl.

Hollowood fan @ 7:58 pm on 01/12/2009

It is just a rumor and Vanessa is not being cast for the Twilight series New Moon. Apparently Vanessa is not interested in the part and did not audition for it. So just move on. There are plenty of movie roles out there for her (big or small movie roles). Vanessa is probably reading and studying movie scripts and deciding on which one to go for. Apparently Vanessa does have acting skills and talents, otherwise, directors would not have offered movie roles to her, such as Prom Night that Vanessa has turn down to work on her music. Currently she is in talk for movie role called The Adventure of Naughty and Deary.

Regardless of what the world think, Vanessa is living her deam life right now and enjoying what she loves to do.

Katty @ 9:30 pm on 01/12/2009

How do you all know she can’t do it? It is called ACTING! And in the end it doesn’t really matter, Leah is hardly in New Moon, if she is, and if you don’t go to see the movie for that reason than you really aren’t a Twilighter, because you would still see the movie anyways.
Johnny Depp always plays different weird roles and he is the bestest ever. You don’t have to stick to one field of acting.
And, we don’t know if she did audition or not.
In the end, it doesn’t really matter what you people say. I doubt casting directors care whether or not thirty out of eighty people don’t like her.
I love her, and think she can do anything she wants to.
Zanessa is awesome, btw!

#86
Katty @ 9:32 pm on 01/12/2009

Btw, everyone hated Robert Pattinson as soon as they cast him, but fifteen minutes later everyone was all OMG I love him now!
Hypocrites… I still don’t like Rob, but I love Twilight, and saw the movie and actually liked most of it. I think he is a brilliant actor, he just isn’t hott enough to play Edward.
I’m done now.

curiosity @ 10:01 pm on 01/12/2009

Love Vanessa and I love all the Twilight books but was very disappointed with the movie. Therefore, I don’t think I’d like her in the movie just because the first one sucked and I think the rest will. Just my opinion.

#90
Morgan @ 10:19 pm on 01/12/2009

Look, not bashing on Vanessa personally or anything, but from what I’ve read, pretty much about 95% of the fandom (faithful to the books) do NOT want ANY Disney stars in this movie. The first movie used unknown, relatively unknown, or (in Kristen’s, and perhaps Rob’s, case) not AS famous people who pretty much keep to themselves. KEEP IT THIS WAY. I’m not sure, as well as thousands of others, that she could pull off Leah. That character is actually (most likely) way too deep for her. Not to mention the only people who want her in the movie are mostly preteens and teens who happen to watch HSM. Gag. So, no thanks. Just stick to relatively unknown people for casting and she can find another way to blast herself away from her Disney shadow.

#91
Callie @ 10:28 pm on 01/12/2009

OH…MY…GOD. Please, please god let this just be a 100% rumor. SHe would ruin, RUIN the movie. Sadly I would still see it but just no, no, no. She can’t act herself out of a box. NO.

#92
Morgan @ 10:39 pm on 01/12/2009

Also, not to mention, Leah barely appears in New Moon. Now why, oh why, would a super-mega-awesome-Disney star be interested in a “little ol’ role” like Leah? Her over-priced acting “skills” would probably cost them a fourth of the budget allowed for actually making the film. Maybe wait until Breaking Dawn. She may prove herself by then with other movies that are actually good. (And no, Thirteen doesn’t count. Although that was a good movie, she didn’t do much more than whatever she did in HSM.)

Also, btw…LMAO…Wow, Vanessa Hudgens shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as Johnny Depp. Did someone honestly just compare them up there? Ohhh goodness, what is this world coming to.

#93
Kris @ 10:51 pm on 01/12/2009

#85 ! i know you did not just compare the greatest actor ever to the suckiest one..
Seriously fans ! Johnny Depp is amazing ..
Vanessa is NOT.
Vanessa does not have enought talent to play this part.
she needs to stick with her teeny bopper stuff. ugh.
Not to mention i doubt Kristen or Rob would want to work with her since Kristen has dissed Disney kids before thank god.

Awh,
wish she could have been in it!
:]
she can pass it off.

aw @ 10:57 pm on 01/12/2009

kKris you’re an idiot.

First of all Twilght is teenybopper to the max. It doesn’t compare to anything Johnny Depp related. Also Kristen herself has worked with “disney” kids and done childish movies aka catch that kid with Corbin Bleu. Do some research before you make some more ignorant comments.

are you Kidding me??
Vanessa Hudgens would be awful as leah! she doesnt fit at all!
she should stick to her commercial life and leave the quality movies to professionals

typical @ 11:29 pm on 01/12/2009

typical vanessa fans. she isn’t perfect for every role out there, you guys. i’m sorry, but hsm didn’t exactly prove that she’s an amazingly talented actress. i honestly don’t think she could show such incredibly intense emotions. sorry.

annoying @ 11:30 pm on 01/12/2009

here, v fans think of it this way: if v did twilight she’d start hanging out with kristen stewart and start smoking weed. oh, but you’d get over that just as quickly as you did her little n.u.d.e picture scandal, wouldn’t you?

sky21 @ 11:35 pm on 01/12/2009

if she ever got the role for leah..
imagine gabriella growling at people..
haha..

just saying.. xp

Soni Hannigan @ 12:07 am on 01/13/2009

I think Vanessa would be very goood as Leah, but if she doesn’t get the part, I still think that maybe she should be in the remake of Footloose with Zac when he does that movie, as the part played by Lori Singer. I think she would be good. It would also give her and Zac a chanc eto work together again. Just my opinion

sara @ 12:14 am on 01/13/2009

I just hope good things For Vanessa
Good Luck

ania @ 12:31 am on 01/13/2009

actually #92 you are right. vanessa is already a big star and by making that role she won’t improve in her career.
she is just too much for leah.(i personally think)

janine marie yonzon @ 1:16 am on 01/13/2009

thank god its jut a rumor! i mean, she’s not even fit for the role… leah clearwater is one tough charaacter and i dont personallt think that vanesa can handle that.. she looks too sweet to be a werewolf…….

k @ 1:37 am on 01/13/2009

i really want the best for Vanessas career
I love V.

ema @ 3:14 am on 01/13/2009

thank god !

i can relax

jade eyes @ 5:00 am on 01/13/2009

i think it’s too early to cast Leah in New Moon. She only has minor role in the book.. probably they’ll have her in Breaking Dawn

silvia @ 7:03 am on 01/13/2009

LA VANESSA HUDGENS ES UNA PUTA! SORT K NO VFA FER EL PUTU CASTING DELS OUS!

indiesr @ 7:06 am on 01/13/2009

crap. i thought i would have a reason to watch new moon. i guess not. crap.crap.crap.

Ola @ 8:32 am on 01/13/2009

It can’t be true. I hope it isn’t. She can’t play Leah. She doesn’t fit there.

I won’t go to see the film becouse she ruin everything.

NIkki @ 8:34 am on 01/13/2009

then if she’s not going to be leah in New Moon and because leah has only very small part there… i hope in eclipse…

paradox @ 8:49 am on 01/13/2009

good to hear that its just a rumor..

HsM_GiU @ 9:03 am on 01/13/2009

Ohhhh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I Want Vanessa For Leah!!!!!!!!!!

heather @ 9:10 am on 01/13/2009

Aw poor Vanessa….that’s what publicists always say when their talent doesn’t get the part. No surprise though, because she can’t act.

Lily @ 9:15 am on 01/13/2009

maybe she should play jane instead

annie!! =) @ 9:31 am on 01/13/2009

great!! i don’t like her!! ^^

Regina @ 9:49 am on 01/13/2009

I Think It Will B Cul If She Play The Part..

Hope So..

ilovezacefron. @ 10:04 am on 01/13/2009

THANK GOD !

she would SUCK !!

tally @ 10:22 am on 01/13/2009

Thanks!
I think she would’nt be a good Leah or whatever.

Miranda @ 10:29 am on 01/13/2009

I don’t think that she would make a good Leah. She’s just not the Leah that I see in my mind, when I read the books.

Giovanna @ 10:29 am on 01/13/2009

yeaaaaaaaaah
NO DISNEY

stargirl @ 10:46 am on 01/13/2009

THANK GOD!!!!!!
Twilight series movies are NOT as High School Musical or similars, and Vanessa Hudgens CAN’T be Leah Clearwater. Leah is a strong character with lots of deep sad feelings, I don’t wanna see a fairy girl that goes around smiling and singing, NO! She just can be an “actress” for Disney’s silly movies like Miley Cyrus or Zac Efron, UGH!

Andrea @ 11:08 am on 01/13/2009

There’s still hope for Vanessa fans…Maybe they’re just pretending beacuse they don’t wanna disappoint Vanessa fans if she doesn’t get the role ;)

Andrea @ 11:19 am on 01/13/2009

and there’s an other rumor about the role for Jane

cool @ 11:45 am on 01/13/2009

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I really wanted her to be in this movie. :[
To me she’d be perfect as Leah. I understand how many people DON’T want her in the movie but they all protested on Rob not getting the part as Edward and look at them now. They have his poster on their freakin walls! Fans are such hypocrites.

-sigh- i hope she auditions. I actually hope she gets the part. That’d be great for her career.

annylo @ 1:06 pm on 01/13/2009

Morgan don’t try and act like Twilight is actually some master piece. In the real world it is nothing but trash and the batshit fans are laughed at. Talent & Twilight should not even be put in the same sentence. Your brain seems to be size of pea so not a surprise you would think anything but.

A! @ 1:16 pm on 01/13/2009

Yuupiii!!!
I love so much this bookc and I love Vanessa too and she is perfect for sweet role like Gabriella, but she can’t play a rude one like Leah,no ofence to Vanessa fans please.

sorry but my bad english, i’m spanish.

ALEX @ 2:16 pm on 01/13/2009

THANK YOU LORD!

justme @ 3:01 pm on 01/13/2009

Thank’s GOD she’s not gonna be Leah!
would be so much drama 4 her!

Katty @ 3:23 pm on 01/13/2009

Disney stars are able to break out of Disney roles.
Hello Shia Labeouf (sp?) I don’t see him in childish movies. Well, funny ones, but they are always good.
Disney is a good place for stars to start, and they want more complex roles, therefore they get parts like Leah to expand into that area.
I think Vanessa would be wonderful.

ffk @ 3:30 pm on 01/13/2009

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!

sofia @ 3:36 pm on 01/13/2009

EHMAGAWD. THANK YOU GOD THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
YESSSSSSSSS!

Kristine @ 3:46 pm on 01/13/2009

It would suck even if she just had a background role. I don’t like her as an actress, singer or person. Sorry. But I think that New Moon (or anything else) need a Disney star.. They just go around with the fake smiles and saying “I’m a star. People - who arent in my family - knows my name. You can google me” They’re just so fake. Ugh. There arent words for how happy I am now. It would ruin the way some fans look at the book. It would ruin the way I look upon New Moon. I really, really, dont want HER to be in the movie.

Sorry to all you High School Musical, Disney and of course to all you Vanessa Hudgens fans. I’am so sorry, but that is just my opinion

Way to set them right Jared Jr! I love that even MTV got this wrong:)

GOOD.. NO disney stars for Twilight! (Sorry Vanessa.. you’ll just have to meet Rob another way!)

http://letterstotwilight.com

m @ 4:55 pm on 01/13/2009

LOL at some people here.
anyone who says vanessa can act is clearly delusional.

Jay @ 5:05 pm on 01/13/2009

YAY, i’m so happy with this news.
I hate her xD.

mmmm @ 6:38 pm on 01/13/2009

Well haters and lovers of V
she did audition for the part Leah
sooooo who cares if she made it
it’s just a 5 min part role and won’t make a differece wat so ever to the movie
it’s a 2 hour movie
u guys r goin crazy over one small part
it’s not even goin to be 5 min maybe 3 or 2
so stop freaking out.

mmmm @ 6:42 pm on 01/13/2009

SHE IS NOT IN DISNEY ANYMORE

Morgan @ 7:34 pm on 01/13/2009

*ahem* RE: ANNYLO- Twilight is laughed at? YES, clearly because HSM is ready for a go-around at the Oscars. Honestly, are you serious? Are you actually sitting there saying Twilight (which has many more respected actors and actresses than any HSM put together) is laughed at but yet you say nothing about HSM being laughed at? Okay. Lmao. Point 1 for me. And I never said anything about Twilight being a masterpiece, you nitwit. If you understood what you read, you’d see that I was commenting on my dislike of Vanessa being in the movie. That does not translate into it being a masterpiece.

Also, as for my brain being the size of a pea? If you’re going to argue with anyone, I suggest coming up with a clearer argument than that.

Morgan @ 7:41 pm on 01/13/2009

AND, if anyone needs extra confirmation go here twilightlexicon.com

The admins of the site asked Melissa Rosenberg (the screenwriter) herself about the rumor and she saidddd, (i absolutely love her response lmao) “If Vanessa is auditioning for the role of Leah, she’s written her own pages to read, cause I didn’t write ‘em.”

BAHAHAHA.

ANA @ 8:02 pm on 01/13/2009

THANK GOD! YOU ARE BIIG!

VANNESSA WOULD TOTALLY RUIN THE MOVIE.

Destiny @ 8:21 pm on 01/13/2009

I was watching ET, tonight and they said she did audition for this movie.

shutup @ 8:24 pm on 01/13/2009

EVERY BODY NEEDS TO CALM DOWN IT’S BARELY A PART AND VANESSA CAN ACT SO STFU AND LEAVE HER ALONE ! IF SHE’S NOT APART OF IT THEN STOP YOU OBSESSED FREAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Desiree @ 8:53 pm on 01/13/2009

YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!
SHE WOULD HAVE RUINED THE MOVIE!!
:)

Katrina @ 8:56 pm on 01/13/2009

That’s too bad…
I thought she would make a great Leah! :[

CAROL @ 1:59 am on 01/14/2009

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [2]

riana @ 3:01 am on 01/14/2009

Yea i think she should of auditioned for Twilight New Moon if wuld have been realy good for her even tho im sorry the part wuldnt suit her and she cant act it wuld probably b gud for her career- but not for me id be jealous! Taylor and Edward are pretty hot guys atm! Lol- i think theres gonna b a Leah Clearwater in the 3rd or 4th movie (if they get that far- hopefull they will its a great movie!)

♥ Wolf Chick ♥ @ 3:02 am on 01/14/2009

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
ARE THEY NUTS? why would they put VH in New moon? To skankafy it? She can’t act, she doesn’t fit the description of Leah Clearwater. I don’t think she could even be a good actress if she was an extra. She should stay in her little Disney world AND STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM NEW MOON!

Kc @ 6:49 am on 01/14/2009

Vanessa Hudgens is a soft spoken girl. She is very well fitted in sweet romatic teen films. But in Twilight, I can’t imagine it….Maybe because I have never seen her in that kind of movie. If she is really the chosen Leah Clearwater then just wait and see her acting..If turns out to be good, that is amazing for her. But if not…..maybe other vampire movies which will be much more fitted to her.

Bella962 @ 8:25 am on 01/14/2009

Yaaahoooooooo! That’s what I wanted to hear :)

thank god i was scared for a moment there
no one wants to see vanessa hudgens play leah clearwater
she is a disney channel star for a reason lets keep it that way.

Ale :) @ 12:31 pm on 01/14/2009

Thank god!!!

jenny pattinson @ 3:56 pm on 01/14/2009

OH DEAR LORD!!!\
THANK GOD!!!
I WOULD HAV BEEN SOOOOO ANGRY IF SHE WAS IN IT!!!!
*WHEW*
i.luv.u.rob!!!

carolyne @ 4:38 pm on 01/14/2009

thanks god!
but why isn’t a leah in new moon?

Sinlikeakiller @ 5:59 pm on 01/14/2009

she is freaking retarded. I’m glad its a rumor. -_-
She is a pathetic excuse for an actress.
thank god.

inuyasha @ 7:35 pm on 01/14/2009

thanks god,it’s just a rumor she doesn’t know how to act.My cat gave me more emotion than her,when he’s hunting

Nika @ 10:22 pm on 01/14/2009

Sry for the lovers… but this post is a haters post! So don’t read!

I don’t really think she would be very good.. O.o

What will she do? Howl/Sing in the middle of the fight seens?

:/

I am just glad that she Leah!

Laura @ 2:10 am on 01/15/2009

uhh thank god it was a rumor!! it would have turned to crap

lindsey @ 7:35 am on 01/15/2009

I’m sooo glad that this isn’t true, I wasn’t sure whether to believe this or not at first, but i was really hoping that she didn’t get cast. I’m not saying she’s a bad actress, it’s just I can’t imagine her as Leah, she doesn’t seem to fit, she seems to nice whereas i’ve always pictured someone like Megan Fox for Leah. But yeah, glad this isn’t true.

Love vanessa @ 7:57 am on 01/15/2009

giving 100percent of support for my favourite idol vanessa hudgens !!!! love you a lot and zac !!!

really hope it’s true that you get the Leah role !! happy for you !!! i know that you will be great , doing everything !!!!

Good Luck !!!
I Love Zanessa !!!!

lettuce pattinson @ 8:41 am on 01/15/2009

arantxa @ 7:26 pm on 01/15/2009

THANK GOD !
seriously
Twilight saga is like my favorita books and movie
and here on new moon

twilight_fanpire @ 8:09 pm on 01/16/2009

thank heavens! she would have been horrible. her voice is too squeaky and high and girly….she could never pull of Leah. leah’s supposed to be a witch…vanessa’s used to playing the role of someone dating zac efron….hard job really…..she could never do a real role in a movie. thank goodness she isnt tainting the twilight series….(p.s. vaness stay away from taylor…hes mine)

Amy @ 12:14 am on 01/17/2009

THANK GOD its a RUMOR!

~*Lil miss Twilight girl*~ @ 4:23 pm on 01/17/2009

I can’t really picture Vanessa being Leah. NO OFFENSE TO ANYBODY! ESPECIALLY VANESSA! She would be a great Leah Clearwater, it would just be really weird to see Vanessa not on disney channel. But, Hey, What do I know right? Everybody has opinions. Some people hate her. And others think shes incredable. So… She should audition! And at the same time she shouldnt.

joey @ 5:45 am on 01/18/2009

I’m glad it’s a rumour. The girl can act but she has been moulded into a Disney tweenie bopper fantasy. I don’t believe she will be able to portray the real darkness of a vampire vs warewolf movie. Better luck next time V-judge

Meanqirl @ 7:43 am on 01/19/2009

Hi!I am a Turk and I am from Turkey.I like Vanessa and Zac :) I like high school Musical :) Pictures are very beautiful.Thank you.

You are coming website.Good bye :)

Meanqirl(Turkish name:Gökçe:)

Lori @ 1:33 pm on 01/19/2009

Who the hell does she think she is? She’s not even NATIVE AMERICAN! Even if she was, I DO NOT want a Disney star in New Moon. She can’t throw the whole Disney, 16-year-old, teeny-bopper vibe off. Sorry. Don’t mean to offend any Vanessa fans.

Lori @ 1:37 pm on 01/19/2009

Oh, I said New Moon. I know it was Eclipse and Breaking Dawn that Leah’s in. My bad.

girll36 @ 6:04 pm on 01/19/2009

eww Vanessa would not make a good werewolf she would be a humiliation to the whole series! she doesn’t even deserve to be any were near the sett

Treehugger @ 5:22 pm on 01/22/2009

I hate her sooo much grr i think she will ruin the movie and i luved twilight and i read new moon and i kno she will destroy the movie

Serra @ 12:59 am on 01/24/2009

Oh, thx god it just rumor. She can’t act to be a girlfriend of werewolf. She just can singing and dancing, cant she ??

LiLa Moon @ 10:44 pm on 01/25/2009

Ffion @ 4:35 pm on 02/21/2009

:)
i’m glad she isnt going to be in the film.
I mean she has always been know as a sweet, innocent girl and she CANNOT play a werewolf.
So glad its just a rumour.

Lizzy @ 6:14 pm on 03/12/2009

I think she’d be really good. She sort of looks American Indian?
