Vanessa On For HSM3

It was briefly yet stoicly debated between my godchild, Kalie, and her doting father yesterday whether or not Vanessa Hudgens will be returning for the big screen production of High School Musical 3. Well, good news for cutie-pies everywhere because Vanessa confirmed that she will, indeed, be joining the third installation. Vanessa, seen here with on and off screen honey Zac Efron, confirmed backstage at last night’s American Music Awards that she can’t wait for production to begin. And with that, parents everywhere better save some of their Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa funds for the onslaught of products and goodies that will accompany High School Musical 3’s release in 2008.
