Vanessa Hudgens hides and laughs behind costar Alex Pettyfer in this new shot from the 2010 ShoWest Award Ceremony held at Paris Las Vegas Hotel on Thursday evening (March 18).

The 21-year-old actress was honored last night as the Female Star of Tomorrow and to introduce one of her upcoming movies, Beastly, but she just can’t really wait until Sucker Punch hits theaters.

Vanessa shared with MTV, “I’m very excited about it because I finally get to be an extreme badass and kick butt. There were so many [scenes that I love], I get to shoot a .50-cal gun, which is a gun that’s on the back of a tank that’s in the Army. It’s intense. It’s just the most thrilling thing a person can ever do is shoot that gun.”

Vanessa Hudgens got a big surprise Monday night – a group of about 100 friends gathered at East Restaurant & Lounge in Hollywood to celebrate her 21th birthday.

Hudgens, decked out in a black mini dress with lace cut-out arms, arrived with beau Zac Efron in a chauffeured Audi Q7, and “when she walked in was completely surprised!” says a guest at the party.

Guests including Ashley Tisdale, Selena Gomez, Brittany Snow, and Corbin Bleu greeted her, while DJ Zen Freeman handled the tunes for the night, playing a mix of hip-hop and top 20 hits.

Efron gave a heartfelt speech – wishing Hudgens a very happy birthday and encouraging guests to have a fun night. Partygoers noshed on East signature dishes including the crab cakes and scallops on the half shell while mingling and dancing.

Hudgen’s red velvet birthday cake was presented to her about an hour into the party. “She seemed overjoyed and grateful for the whole experience,” says the guest.

“Zac and Vanessa were adorable together,” says another guest. “They were smiling at each other and laughing and are really sweet to each other. Great couple.”
