It's no surprise to ENQUIRER readers that Vanessa Hudgens has confirmed the authenticity of a nude photograph of herself that's been circulating on the Internet! According to the High School Musical star's publicist, "This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public."

The ENQUIRER first reported on the Vanessa photos in our September 10 issue (on newsstands August 29). The question remains whether the brunette beauty's naughty photos could throw Disney's massive marketing and production plans into complete turmoil.

"It's a kids' show, aimed at children, teenagers and their parents and starring a bunch of cute, wholesome youngsters," said a show insider. "Naked pictures of one of the stars would be catastrophic.

"It could bring the whole 'High School Musical' franchise to its knees."
