A flurry of internet rumors that “High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens had auditioned for the role of Leah Clearwater in the “Twilight” sequel “New Moon,” began after one of the stars let it slip. Ashley Greene, who plays Alice Cullen, let it slip to MTV at Golden Globes afterparty that Hudgens auditioned for the role.
Via EW:
“I think she’d be great,” MTV quotes Greene as saying of Hudgens.
Vanessa was also seen with Taylor Lautner at an event to push early PR for their dynamic. Now, both the star’s rep and Summit Entertainment have set the record straight stating that the rumors are just that: rumors.
Sources from both camps released the following statement to Entertainment Weekly:
“The filmmakers aren’t looking at the star for any role in the soon-to-be-shooting Twilight follow-up.”
Not any role? She can’t even get a job as an extra? I am sure this news must be disappointing to Vanessa who, now that the “High School Musical” franchise is over, clearly needs some work. She has been spending her down time hanging on the arm of her long-time boyfriend Zac Efron and even accompanied him to last Sunday’s Golden Globes Ceremony where she spent her time on the red carpet pouting. My guess is she is trying to find her signature look, her “blue steel” if you will.
Many Twilighters took to the web to express their dislike for Hudgens as a possible candidate for the character of Leah Clearwater (who is the only female werewolf in the series) stating that she didn’t have the right look and wasn’t tough enough to portray the tough-as-nails Leah. Maybe that’s what all the pouting on the red carpet was about.

Thank god! Hopefully they will stick to their guns. She would bring nothing to the movie – definately not right for that roll. We “Twihards” have to stick together on this one!
I can’t get enough of Twilight, but when it’s about a High School Musical child who is basically “no news,” I’m left empty. I’d rather read about my main man, Edward Cullen!
OMG I am SOOOOOOOO HAPPY THAT SHE’S NOT PART OF IT! SHE WOULD’VE RUINED THE MOVIE, AND NOW SHE DOESN’T GET A CHANCE TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO B REALLY DELIGHTED WHEN I TELL THEM THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SORRY TO VANESSA, BUT SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL IF SHE WANTED A SPOT ON ‘THE TWILIGHT SERIES,’ THE BEST BOOK SERIES EVER MADE AND EVER WILL B MADE. WELL, SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE JOINED DISNEY THINGS IF SHE WANTED TO.
i think that venessa hudgens would not be a good choice to play leah because she does not look the part to protray leah clearwater. Bute vennesa is still a good actress. But not for new moon.
YAY!!! HIP HIP HOORAYYY! She would have ruined New Moon. SOOOO GLAD SHE’S NOT TAKING PART!
OMG! It's real or not. A rumor or the truth? I'm so hasty to see the second movie. And a second rumor says that Dakota Fanning will play Jane in ” new Moon ” , this is the true?
They look like Identical twins
I think she would be great but she better stay off of jacob she has UGLYYYY Zac Efron by her side and well jacob is tooo hot for her and there better not be any chemestry between them!!!!!!!!!!1
OMG!look at the boy in the first pic.he has a giant nose!!it makes hers look like a button nose XDXDXD!
I AM SOO glad thank GOD 4 that. vanessa would spoil ALL of twilight!!
güzel bir kız vanessa. bnde onun gibi olmak isterim süpersin.
soooo glad she didn’t make it! she sucks! she would’ve ruined the best book/movie series ever!
You guys are all vanessa haters, and you’re biased. But we ALL know (and you cannot even try to deny it) that vanessa is a way better actress than kristen stewart or any of the girls in twilight for that matter. so if they can get a part in twilight, then so can vanessa.
KRISTEN IS MY FREIND AND YOU CAN SHUT UP BECAUSE VANNESSA CANT ACT BUT KRISTEN CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE! VANNESSA NEEDS TO GO STRAIGHT BACK TO ACTING SCHOOL SHES STUPID AND DOESNT HAVE CLUE TO ANYTHING
Dont make fun of Taylor y’know Vanessa lost her role because many people don’t like her so i’ll have to hold a grudge against my cast partner Ashley Green. Im sure you guys know by now that Robert proposed to me and i rejected. But ill soon marry him on the day Breaking Dawn comes out in movie .
i am so excied to see this movie come out, and i am glad she is not in it too 1!(:

Although Vanessa is a great actor can you imagine her turning into a wolf? No. She’s not tough enough to play Leah.
