In her new movie, that is.

High School Musical sweetheart, Vanessa Hudgens, is sporting a new look these days and it’s definitely not her best.  The Disney star was spotted earlier this week with cropped locks, some extra “poundage”, a lip piercing and a NECK tattoo – all supposedly for her role in the upcoming film, Gimme Shelter.

The film follows a soon-to-be teen mom who is kicked out of her home after deciding to keep her baby.  Strangely, that’s not a plot we’ve seen on MTV’s Teen Mom…yet.

Accoring to TooFab.com, Hudgens is thrilled with her new looks and less-than-squeeky clean image.

I have been so stupidly busy working on Gimme Shelter. I’m so excited and proud of the work I’ve been doing and let me tell you, you all are going to be SHOCKED with how I look in this movie. It’s crazy sauce. Lol only one more week of shooting till I’m done!

I was totally excited for Gabriella to be cast in a more serious role; especially after she (and I) had to suffer through the movie Beastly; but if she continues to use phrases like “crazy sauce” I am going to have to withdraw my support.
