The 20-year-old actress shared with ET in the vid about her character, saying, “I play Lindy Taylor, she’s kind of the beauty of the story but not the stereotypical beauty that I think everyone thinks of.”

Vanessa’s costar Alex Pettyfer dished about the story: “He’s [Kyle Kingsbury] obsessed with his own vanity and can’t see the beauty of life.”

Beastly is set to hit theaters in July 2010. Are you excited?

After having a relaxing weekend at home in Los Angeles, Vanessa Hudgens ran into some plane trouble while flying back towards the Sucker Punch set in Vancouver.

A fan writes to JJJ, saying, “I was on Vanessa Hudgens‘ flight to Vancouver and we had a little plane trouble. A bit into our flight, smoke started coming in from the back of the plane. It was so scary! Even in our time of terror, my eyes were glued on Vanessa and she looked so scared! She was sitting next to her manager Evan and kept looking to the back of the plane where the smoke was and saying things to her manager. She had a really worried look on her face until the pilot went on the speaker phone thing and said we’d be turning around to go back to LA so we can get another plane. Once we heard that she relaxed into her chair and started listening to her iPod again.”

They continued, “When we finally landed in Vancouver, and were getting off the plane, Vanessa was really sweet and waited for most people to get off before she and her manager did. When I was walking to get off the plane, I couldn’t help but stop and say that I was a huge fan of hers and good luck in everything she did. Vanessa smiled so big and said ‘Thank you! Your such a sweetheart.’ She even walked around Evan so she could get into the aisle and hug me!!!!

“It was the most amazing and terrifying plane ride ever! I’ve always dreamed of meeting Vanessa and meeting her was incredible! Whoever thinks shes a snob has obviously never seen her or met her because shes so sweet and so nice to everyone. She has a heart of gold as far as I’m concerned!!

Reps for Vanessa could not be reached on the smoke story.

BFF costars Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are collaborating once again — on “A Very Special Christmas Volume 7.”

The duo, plus good pals Miley Cyrus and Mitchel Musso, are just a few of the recording artists lending their voices to the acclaimed album series which benefits Special Olympics.

“A Very Special Christmas Volume 7” and its focus on young entertainers was the brainchild of entertainment attorney Greg Lapidus, who said, “In a year filled with defining moments for Special Olympics and this country it’s wonderful to see that the philanthropic impulse of this new generation of stars is strong. They have created an album of great Christmas music, fun, cheery and perfect for their generation of fans.”

The Christmas album, also featuring Carrie Underwood, Leighton Meester and Gloriana, is set to his shelves on Tuesday, November 24.

Check out Alex Pettyfer in his full Beast mode!

JustJaredJr.com caught up with the 19-year-old’s charming costar Vanessa Hudgens at the Neutrogena Fresh Face Event on Saturday afternoon and asked her about seeing Alex in his full beast mode for the first time.

Vanessa shared with us, “So freaked out. It was just weird because as soon as he got into it, he became very self-conscious and took on this whole new persona. It was like I was meeting a whole new person. It was crazy - it’s very intense.”

Beastly is set to premiere in July 2010.

Vanessa Hudgens sat down with Newsweek earlier this year to answer a few quick questions about Bandslam, paparazzi and having those necessary girl-only nights with pals. Check out what the 20-year-old actress had to say:

On paparazzi: “Paparazzi are a nuisance because it doesn’t have anything to do with your actual job, which for me is acting and movies. Instead, they take interest in me filling up my tank at the gas station and random things. I think it’s unnecessary but it’s something that comes with the territory.”

On her fans that followed her from High School Musical: “It’s amazing. I’ve never had that obsession over anything where I started crying [at the sight]. But it’s incredible. They are the best fans.”

On keeping close to her friends: “We all have such hectic schedules that we’ll go from not seeing each other for months and when we do meet up again, we pick right back up where we started. I think it’s nice to have real friends like that. Girly nights are always fun — consisting of staying in, watching movies and grubbing out.”
