Vanessa Hudgens is photographed and interviewed in the latest issues of Details.

In it, the High School Musical star sounds incredibly mature and grounded about the current era of celebrity gossip, accepting it as part of a successful career.

"If you have paparazzi, you know you've gotten somewhere," Hudgens said.

As for a certain nude photo scandal that broke last year, Vanessa shrugged it off, as well, chalking the incident up as a road block in life:

"Honestly, you have your ups and downs. But it's over with and it's done."

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

It's due out in October.
