Vanessa Hudgens2

Out enjoying the summertime weather, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted driving around Los Angeles on Thursday (August 6).

Trailed by a taxi cab, the “High School Musical” hottie rolled along in her sporty black Audi convertible as paparazzi awaited her arrival.

Last evening, the “High School Musical” star spoke to host Kimmel about her brand new house and what inspired the move. “I came home one day and I realized that I just had too much stuff. So I got my own place and it’s awesome. It’s true. There was stuff everywhere. There were mounds-I could not see the carpet.”

The 20-year-old costars with Alyson Michalka and Gaelan Connel in Bandslam, which will be premiering tonight at Mann’s Village Theatre in Westwood, California.
