Vanessa has apparently had it with paparazzi after pics were taken of her and Zac in a Sydney hotel room:

“I mean, put yourself in my situation: people who you do not know taking pictures of you in your own room! It’s obnoxious and invasive, and I don’t know why they would do it.”

One reason, V: payday!

Zac really seems to be caring less and less for the paparazzi these days. They caught him briefly yesterday as he was leaving the gym, using a gym bag to cover his face before driving off.

Zac seems to be having a rougher time with the paparazzi lately. I wonder what caused the change? He used to smile and wave and has even talked them up a few times.

He was spotted yesterday carefully trying to slide out of his car and avoided eye contact before dashing inside a friend’s house.

Zac got his interview on the blue carpet as well (see Vanessa’s here), and talks about his outfit choices and how much say he has in it, how he deals with fans, and what he thinks of sneaky paparazzi.

Zac parks in a parking garage (and leaves his lights on!) and the paparazzi followed him in. He’s ok with it for a minute and then makes a dash down the ramp into the elevator!

Zac was at LAX yesterday and had to field some pretty stupid questions from the paparazzi. What are these guys, ten?

Zac was as always a good sport and signed some autographs and took pictures with fans before hopping into a car with Vanessa!

Vanessa Hudgens was recently interviewed by Hilarie Barsky on Good Morning America Radio on XM satellite while she was doing the rounds for the ‘Identified’ release.

She’s asked about getting time to herself, High School Musical 3, last year’s nude photo “scandal,” how she handles the paparazzi, and skillfully dodges the love life question!

GQ Magazine’s May 2008 has an interview with Vanessa Hudgens wherein she talks about her popularity and the nude photo scandal from last summer:

“If you have paparazzi, you know you’ve gotten somewhere,” the 19-year-old High School Musical star says.

When asked about her nude photo scandal, Vanessa shrugs it off, sayin, “Honestly, you have your ups and downs. But it’s over with and it’s done.”

As for her sophomore album, tentatively titled Identified, she says, “But not to the point where I’m singing I’m so hot! I’m so hot! Boys want me. I’m so hot!”

Vanessa and the gang (including Zac Efron) are currently at a top secret location in Utah shooting the feature film, High School Musical 3.

Top secret location? Is this a new development or were they too lazy to do any research?

X17 has a great little video of Zac chatting with the paparazzi outside a Hollywood studio.

Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale were trying to order at a McDonald’s over the weekend and can’t get a moment’s peace even there. The paparazzi are assholes during the ordering and WHY does Ashley not have limo tint on every window on that car? (Hello crazy lady at the passenger window!)
