Neutrogena Signs Emerging New Talent to Represent the Brand LOS ANGELES, March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- A leading manufacturer of premium skin, hair and cosmetics products, Neutrogena Corporation today announced that actress Vanessa Hudgens will act as the newest spokesperson for the brand. "Vanessa Hudgens has an energetic, dynamic personality that will truly complement the spirit of Neutrogena. We are pleased to welcome her to our team," says Neutrogena President, North America, Jim Colleran. Trained in piano, dance and voice, the native Californian launched her dynamic career in musical theatre at the young age of eight, and has appeared in such notable productions as The King & I, Damn Yankees and Evita, to name only a few. It wasn't long before her talents were recognized and she made her feature film debut, alongside Holly Hunter and Evan Rachael Wood, in the much talked about Thirteen. She continued her foray into film by co-starring in the action-packed Thunderbirds, as well as became a recurring guest star on the Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zach & Cody. In 2006, Ms. Hudgens co-starred in her truly breakout role in the Disney Channel's sensational movie High School Musical, for which she obtained much praise and notoriety. It also earned her a nomination for Choice Breakout Star at the 2006 Teen Choice Awards. Ms. Hudgens just completed filming High School Musical 2: Sing It All or Nothing!, which is scheduled to be released later this year. Not one to sit still, Ms. Hudgens also recorded her first solo album, V, in the fall of last year. Though the "V" stands for Vanessa, the singer/actress admits it also stands for variety, as the CD is chocked full of various genres, from pop to rock, R&B to dance music. Her first hit video, "Come Back to Me" premiered on MTV's TRL, while she launched her first music tour last fall, alongside the Cheetah Girls. As a new spokesperson for Neutrogena, Ms. Hudgens will be featured in both national TV and print campaigns. She joins fellow Neutrogena spokespersons Kelly Preston, Susie Castillo, Gabrielle Union, Hayden Panettiere, Julie Bowen, Kristin Kreuk and Paola Rey, each of whom will continue in their role as Neutrogena representatives.

In the next couple of weeks Vanessa will be shooting her Neutrogena commercial + print ads. Also a couple of months before the HSM Tour the cast shot a Got Milk ad that'll run in almost every magazine. I don't know when it'll run but it should be soon.

Age: 18 Why She's Hot: Last year, the entire 'High School Musical' cast got a shout-out on this list. But since then, Vanessa has emerged as a shining star in her own right with her breakout CD, 'V.' In August, she'll reprise her role as Gabriella in 'HSM2,' meaning that the Disney dynamo will be more unstoppable than ever. Fun Fact: Vanessa's first acting gig was in the controversial 2003 film 'Thirteen.' Ironically, she was already 15 at the time.
