WWW [The National Ledger] Many have already said that Vanessa Hudgens had already grown into a “girl gone wild” when her series of racy photographs splashed online and put the one-time sweet little innocent girlfriend of High School Musical co-star Zac Efron in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Now producer Joe Francis says he is willing to help her out.

According to TMZ.Com Francis is offering up a half million dollars to join the “Girls Gone Wild” gang and promote the franchise. Only a half million bucks? Joe must think he is still dealing with wayward American idol starlets. That’s a bit of an insult to a star like Vanessa.

Right now Joe is a guest of the state of Nevada and he released the press notice from prison in the Silver state. Disney says they are still standing by the star and even if she would get bumped from the show she will have offers rolling in for movies and she will always have her music career.

This won’t crush either Vanessa’s careers at all, she will still be a mainstream superstar and will go on to big things for many years to come. The pint-sized hottie is only eighteen years old and will continue to shine.
