Before there was High School Musical, there was a brand new singing competition show on the air called American Idol. A young Vanessa Hudgens watched the then Fox show and was like I am going to be on it. But then she got the job of a lifetime and that dream was over. Not that she did bad for herself. Maybe even better than if she did do it.
What makes this tidbit even better is Hudgens told this story to Ryan Seacrest on Live with Kelly and Ryan. She told the host that she was 14 or 15 when the show that made him a household star debuted. His face when she told him that was perfect! Well for us, for him it was painful.
