Vanessa Hudgens: Bare Movie Role Ahead?
So soon after the High School Musical franchise ended for her, is Vanessa Hudgens already desperate for work?
Without major prompting, the actress told E! Online this week that she'd gladly get naked in a future film.
"I will show nudity in a film when the time is right," Vanessa said. "Right now, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it, but like I said, when the time's right, if it's an amazing movie that I'm really passionate about and that's what it calls for, then we'll see."
Might Hudgens be aiming for retribution against Zac Efron, following his risqué photo shoot in Interview magazine in March?
After all, it's not like Hudgens needs to make any birthday suit promises in order to land a role.
This summer, she begins shooting a pair of movies: Beastly, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast; and Sucker Punch!, based on a girl that is sent to a mental institution by her stepfather.
Vanessa's history of nude photos might actually hurt her bare box office appeal. Why shell out $10 for a movie ticket when someone can surf the Web for free?
Jessica Biel: my "hotness" is a problem
For Jessica Biel, her body and good looks are the main culprit why she doesn't always get the plum roles in Hollywood films. Despite her performance in The Illusionist that earned her decent reviews, good roles are still not hers for the picking, so she tells Allure magazine. She envies the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, who can do so.
Biel, whose recent film -- Powder Blue -- went straight to DVD, is better known for her high-profile dates than her acting portfolio. She is currently dating Justin Timberlake, and has been linked to Derek Jeter and Chris Evans in the past.
Good roles, good roles. Aren’t those given to good actresses? Just asking...

Tin "Cannes" Alley?
Are Cannes' glory days of chic, glamour and sophistication truly gone? Apparently so. The beaches of Cannes are littered with crass personalities with hardly an ounce of Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn or Bette Davis in their styles. Most people congregate to Cannes during the festival that has no business being in the event. They are party-goers who love the gregarious scene during festival season, and in no way connected to the film industry, if at all.
Legitimate and long-time Cannes attendees mourn the 60s when the crowd is "more classy". Hollywood A-listers quickly abandon Cannes after doing their required premier and party duties, while those few who are left, like Jim Carrey and Brad Pitt, hide in their rooms. It's all downhill after that, with the likes of Paris Hilton hosting a yearly party in Cannes -- for fun, what else?

The Return of the Bowl Haircut: Oh Boy!
The bowl cut, which has been a popular hairstyle in decades past, seems to be enjoying a comeback of sorts as a bevy of hip, young celebs have been seen sporting the look around town. One glance at this retro round bob probably has you wondering what could possibly prompt chic young ladies like Agyness Deyn, Estelle, Parker Posey and Christina Ricci to don a short hairstyle that gives off such a distinct whiff of 70's cheese.
We definitely never thought we'd be seeing a good chunk of Hollywood embrace the rounded bangs, but we're even more shocked to say that we kind of like the look. It's got a slightly sexy, a little bit brooding, definitely retro vibe that keeps our eyes entranced. Part of this reason, at least according to celebrity hairstylist Sam Brocato, is that the cut practically begs you to stare at its wearer's face. "Because of the shape of the cut, you just can't help looking into someone's eyes. It has a mystique that draws you in--it's very 20's and vampy. It's also a way of adding some edginess to your look without doing hard, strong lines," he says.
Want to try the look at home? If you don't have bangs, Brocato suggests purchasing a pair of clip-on bang extensions as they are a major portion of the hairstyle. The key to this look is in the layering and the roundness, so start off by taking the very top layer of hair and use a large round brush to roll the edges over, section by section. Brocato says you can also use an extra-large curling iron in the same fashion to create a stronger curve. After you curl it, run some styling cream through your hair, then blast it quickly with a blowdryer to soften the curl and create that big, super-round style.
