Right now, Vanessa Hudgens nude pics are simply costing this actress her reputation.

And if she's replaced by Adrienne Bailon in High School Musical 3, the scandal will cost Hudgens millions of dollars, as well.

But Joe Francis reportedly has a way to help with the latter problem: TMZ says that the King of the Boob Flash has offered Hudgens $500,000 to "join the [Girls Gone Wild] brand and lifestyle."

In a press release issued from a Nevada prison, Francis says: "Vanessa Hudgens is the classic girl next door gone wild. Being sexual is not a crime."

Heck, in the case of Amber Lee Ettinger, it's a reason to make a video supporting Barack Obama.

As for the nude pics now circulating the Internet, Franic doesn't seem to mind: "She took a picture," he says, "it was leaked, and now it is time to move forward with her career."

One Joe hopes will involve lots more nudity.

The Girls Gone Wild creator also made an offer for Antonella Barba nude after her sex photos came out. So at least he's consistent.

Kristin Chenoweth is so hot.

Yet you might not even know who she is, and if you do, you know that her sexual appeal is marked by apparent contradictions.

For one, she's 4-foot-11 and 95 pounds, yet sports ridiculous curves. She's also a devout Christian ... who doesn't think twice about showing off her body.

Moreover, she's a Tony-award winning Broadway star, and has appeared on sophisticated TV hits such as The West Wing, but she's a simple girl at heart.

"Don't be takin' me to ‘nice' restaurants," Kristin Chenoweth says. "I don't like anything I can't pronounce. I like Applebee's, Arby's and Dairy Queen!"

She's also gearing up for her new show, Pushing Daisies. We're excited for this, but equally pumped about finding these pics of Kristin in old FHM spread.

Check out a couple of their hot Kristin Chenoweth photos:

All in all, The Hills weren't as alive last night as weeks past, but there were some cute moments, unintentional comedy, and groundwork laid for future meltdowns and cat fights. In short, it was a terrific half hour of reality television.

The much-hyped Lauren-Jason reunion was a little anticlimactic, and was put off until the closing moments, but it turned out to be remarkably sweet.

As much as a scene featuring Jason Wahler can be, anyway.

Genuine and a tad awkward, Lauren Conrad was honest with her man when he asked why she cut him out of her life: "I had to make a clean break from you."

If LC were Audrina, she wouldn't have said "I want to be friends with you someday, not now," rather, she would've ridden into the sunset with J-Wahl.

Yes, roomie Patridge had done so earlier - literally - with Justin-Bobby (Justin Brescia) after taking him back for the 80th time. So touching.

Props to the producers at MTV for accenting both scenes with an emotional pop ballad about the perils of love and the challenge of finding one's soul mate. This may be reality TV, but it feels like a movie with an eight-figure budget.

Meanwhile, Friday Night Lights is pure fiction, yet feels like a documentary. But we're getting way off topic from The Hills here.

Anyway, Lauren and Jason met up for coffee and a heart-to-heart. Much as we look for ways to bash Jason Wahler, he seemed sincere and regretful, admitting to "being so out of control" and apologizing for his bad habits and behavior.

A calm, coherent, and clean cut (though still a little scruffy) Wahler was a nice change for fans of The Hills. Heck, we sure prefer him to Spencer Pratt. We wonder if this was all shot before his engagement to Katja Decker-Sadowski.

In any case, Whitney Port was shocked - in her typical, expressive fashion - when she heard about Jason's return. We always love Ms. Port and her role. Lauren would be advised to take her boss Whit's sage advice to heart. Girl knows her stuff!

LC and friends made a number of mature conclusions about guys this week, albeit ones they will probably ignore despite better judgment ...

• Lauren Conrad stated that, as soon as you stop thinking about bad guys, they can sense it, like radar, and call. So true, girl!
• There is no such thing as the perfect guy, noted Audrina Patriduge.
• Not everyone's going to be your Prince Charming, added Whitney Port.
• Oh, and never date your trainer. Audrina and Lauren ended up going out with their personal trainer, Jarett, and his lame friend, Derek, who Lauren was so turned off by, she could barely hide it. He talked about himself the entire time. Needless to say, LC's one-date streak curse remained intact.

"If She [Jodie Foster] Has A Question To Ask Me, Don't Ridicule Me Publicly!"
- Dina Lohan to 24Sizzler.com

Jodie Foster is a well-respected, talented, Oscar-winning actress.

Dina Lohan is an awful, attention-starved mother to a cocaine-addicted, promiscuous child.

Therefore, we can't say we saw this feud coming. Or that the mom of Lindsay Lohan has a credible foot to stand on during it.

It started with an interview for Gotham magazine's October 2007 issue, in which Foster said: "Can I just ask, where is her mother? I mean, really, where is her mother?…When I was their age, there were no big 18-year-old stars…

Now, we want the 17-year-olds so we can bleed them for all they're worth and squeeze as much money as we possibly can out of them - and then their career will be over in something like three years."

We've been asking the same thing about Britney Spears' parents. Seems rather reasonable to us.

But not to Dina, who saw this as another chance to grab some celebrity news headlines for her family. She responded to Foster's rationale by stating:

"It really saddens me that a mom would comment on another mom without ever meeting me... I don't know what Jodie dealt with as a young Hollywood actress but I do know if it weren't for her mother she would not be a successful actress today! I'm sure her mother made many sacrifices for her to be successful."

Isn't Lohan damning herself with these words? She's saying Jodie had a responsible mother who helped shape her respected career. Dina's daughter, meanwhile?

She's in rehab.

She also stands less of a chance of winning an Academy Award at this point than Tila Tequila does.

Sherri Shepherd made a successful debut on The View yesterday. In other words:

Unlike Whoopi Goldberg on her first day, Sherri did not defend Michael Vick. What did she have to say about the initial performance?

Read for yourself. Here's a blog entry from the talk show's new panelist:

I just want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of my fans who tirelessly emailed and wrote Barbara Walters, Bill Geddie and the ABC executives on my behalf. To think that you all took time out of your busy lives, leaves me speechless.

To those of you who prayed… let me tell you … PRAYERS WORK! Because it is a miracle of God that I am now a co-host on The View.

To those of you who fasted for me to get this job… YOU CAN EAT NOW!

I just want to say again, I appreciate all of you from the bottom of my heart for your belief in, and support of, me and while I can't begin to personally answer all of the emails that I have been receiving, I am reading my webboard and chat line.

Now just keep praying, that every morning I don't put my foot in my mouth - but if you know me, it's bound to happen...

Shepherd seems nice and all, but The Hollywood Gossip staff also has a message for those that prayed or fasted for her to be named a host on The View: There may be more important causes in life to focus on.

Stop insulting the concept of prayer and a Higher Power by thinking It cares about who fills a seat on a talk show.

Where is Rosie O'Donnell to blame America for 9/11 when we need her?

She may not win another Oscar for this role, but Jennifer Hudson should have lots of fun as Carrie Bradshaw's assistance in the upcoming Sex and the City: The Movie.

The American Idol finalist will portray the right-hand woman to Sarah Jessica Parker's shoe-obsessed character  and is in final negotiations with the movie's producers about details of her role.

As everyone knows, but People magazine still reported the movie revolves around the lives of the four main SATC characters played by Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, who are all reprising their roles.

Chris Noth also joins the cast to play Mr. Big again.  No, his name is not a reference to Tommy Lee.

Hudson is also in the studio working on her debut album, while also starring in the upcoming crime drama Winged Creatures opposite Kate Beckinsale and Forest Whitaker.

Britney Spears. No pants. Certain things just go together.

Yes, the commando queen is back at it again, treating us to another fine upskirt display after her universally maligned VMAs performance on Sunday.

What else would you expect from the former pop star than to go out partying at the Bellagio in Vegas and show off her hairless axe wound once again.

She knows it's been a whole week and a half since she gave us a good shot of her wearing no pants. We appreciate your concern for our well being, Brit.

The newest pictures of Spears with no pants circulating around the Internet speak for themselves. The only questions:

1. Which has more hair: Jayden James' head, or his mom's vagina?
2. Which was more bare: Britney's lack of caring during the VMAs, or her baby factory?
3. In the next few months, which are we more likely to see: a high-selling Britney Spears album, or pubic hair?

Questions for the ages, all of them. For the uncensored photos of Britney's crotch, which really aren't all they're cracked up to be (or anything at all new), head on over to Perez Hilton by CLICKING HERE.

Long before anyone cared about Vanessa Hudgens nude pictures, critics were shocked that Daniel Radcliffe would bare it all in the play Equus.

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, though, the Harry Potter star says nudity is no big deal for him anymore. We hope Eva Longoria soon takes the same attitude.

AP: So what's all this about you doing Equus on Broadway?
Radcliffe: Yeah, absolutely, hopefully. It's not absolutely certain yet, as nothing ever is, but yeah, that's definitely the plan. I'll be starting Harry Potter 6 and then that will go to the year 2040, and then after a few months â€" there's probably going to be a few months' gap in between that â€" and then Equus on Broadway. It should start late next year.

AP: Is it cold on that stage?
Radcliffe: (Smiles) Yes, it's very well air-conditioned.

AP: There's shrinkage?
Radcliffe: (Smiles again) There is an element of retraction, certainly.

AP: After the first time, I'm guessing, you get over this a bit.
Radcliffe: Oh yeah, you don't care. I don't care â€" I've done it 128 times [or the same number of times Britney Spears crotch shots have popped up].

AP: But everybody else cared and everybody else freaked out when you first got naked.
Radcliffe: It was hilarious.

AP: Why is that, do you think?
Radcliffe: 'Cause, I don't know, maybe they want me to be Peter Pan and stay young forever, some people.

AP: And tabloids have fun with puns, of course.
Radcliffe: They want puns, yeah, you can have lots of fun with them.

Let's try one now: Daniel Radcliffe? More like Daniel Naked-cliffe!

Jenna Jameson may no longer have giant boobs - a plastic surgeon cut those down to size last month - but it doesn't appear as though Tito Ortiz cares, does it?

This huge-headed Ultimate Fighter is psyched to go home with his girlfriend in the scene captured below. Forget Paulina James, he's thinking. I get to do naughty things to the world's most famous porn star.

Score.

Unlike Britney Spears, some singers' career prospects are actually trending up. Namely, a cheerleader who wants to be a rock star!

Well, she's not really a cheerleader, she just plays one on Heroes. But Hayden Panettiere is making a move into music as well, and a new single from Hayden is, surprisingly, not half bad. It's typical pop-rock cheesiness, yes, but not half bad.

The lyrical brilliance of Hayden Panettiere is evident early on as the track begins with "So many memories of you and me, like the time we drove to the O.C. ..."

It's enough to bring a tear to one's eye.
