Did Vanessa Hudgens Audition for 'New Moon'?

Taylor Lautner is definitely reprising his role as shape-shifter Jacob Black in "New Moon," but is it true that "High School Musical" sweetheart Vanessa Hudgens really auditioned for a vampy role in the sequel? Plus, the "Twilight" cast's first reaction to news of Taylor's return.

UPDATE: Hudgens' pr tells "Extra," "To my knowledge, this isn't true." Summit Entertainment tells us, "Everything is a rumor and it is not true."

Vanessa Hudgens. I think she would make a great Leah. I think those who don’t think she will is just because she’s in the Disney Franchise. You can’t say anything about a person until they have actually performed that role.

Vanessa Hudgens? I think she’s a little out of their price range. Seriously, do you know how much she made for HSM3?? And she wouldn’t want such a small part, whether or not the ‘Twilight’ franchise is the biggest thing since Harry Potter. I don’t think it’ll happen. I’ll be really disappointed if it does.

I’m pretty excited that Taylor is keeping his role as Jacob. It’s awesome that they decided to keep him. No one makes for a better Jacob than Taylor.

But,Uhm. There’s NO WAY that Vanessa Hudgens is cut out for the part as Leah Clearwater. Leah’s character is supposed to be tough and hurt, NOT preppy and so put together! The last thing we need is for Vanessa to screw up the role of Leah.


PLEASE DON’T CAST HER.

NO HUDGENS!

Vanessa Hudgens and Brenda Song CANNOT be a Leah Clearwater!
I mean, is is seriously THAT hard to just get a Native American girl?
Gosh! No offense, but I’m sure that us Twilighters don’t want Disney people to come in the picture - because then, little kids are gonna flood the movie theater when New Moon comes out, just so they can see Vanessa or Brenda if they get cast.
NO TO EITHER OF THEM!


- NO VANESSA OR BRENDA

Wow if she makes it as Leah Clearwater, I am going to seriously shoot myself.
As for the news about Taylor…so happy! I was devastated when I heard they were replacing him, and now they’re keeping him again! Yay! lol

That’s awesome news for Taylor. As for the Vanessa thing- terrible idea. I’m opposed to anything Disney. I think casting a Disney star feels like selling out. Look at how successful Twilight became without the help of any over-paid actors.
