^but she's still on HR so I don't think they will allow her to go as dirty as X-tina did in "Dirrty"...Hilary's Reach Out is about a "dirty" as I think they would allow her to go
The thing that I love about X-tina's Stripped album is that all her songs (but mainly the singles along with the videos) had really strong messages. Beautiful, Fighter, and Can't Hold Us Down had very strong messages. Plus the videos were something someone Christina's age would do and they were willing to takes risks with the videos. She seemed to be holding back her real self in her videos from her first album.
I just want V's 3rd album to showcase the real Vanessa because HR really held her back with V and especially with Identified as evidence by the exclusion of Whisper and Trash Me.

^ You're probably rite about HR not letting her go that far but I don't see why not since she won't be catering to just tween girls anymore.
I loved the fact that the songs on 'Stripped' had strong messages aswell. I would love for V to have a song like "Can't Hold Us Down". I really hope we get a song about whoever the dude is that screwed her over. Vanessa hasn't had any real male-bashing type songs yet. I want to hear angry Vanessa on a record.

^I don't think it was the dude that leaked them. He leaked the middle finger pictures but I think it was some of her former friends. She had some female friends that she hung out a lot with during HSM time and she had a major falling out with them. That would actually explain why they had access to pictures of her before she dated Zac and some after she dated him. But I do want an angry Vanessa song...a song that gives a big F-You to all the people that like to bash her mainly. Can't Hold Us Down is a really good song...I was just watching the video on You-Tube and I loved the way they talked about the differences between men and women. A woman sleeps with 5 guys and she is a wh*re but if a guy sleeps with tons of women its OK. But part of that has to do with women dissing other women...I want Vanessa to have a song about that. Because the ones that hate her are generally women. Sucker Punch Portrait Bookwww.bryanreesman.com/blog/2009/07/22/clay-enos-photographing-the-watchmen/Apparently he wasn't on set during pre-production of Watchmen (training and set building) but he is on set the whole time for Sucker Punch. The Watchmen book had 220 pictures and it came out in February 2009 and the movie came out in March so I think we can expect something similar for Sucker Punch.

^Intresting. I never thought it could've been her former female friends. I always wondered what happened to her relationship w/ that chick that was in the CBTM video & I believe she was on Zoey 101 too.
But yea, she def. needs to address all the jealous & catty females out there too. I just hope she actually does begin the process of writing & recording after SP cause I don't know how long I can wait lol.
& I'm excited for the SP portrait book but I really hope we get on the set pics soon or one of those entertainment shows go behind the scenes cause I'm really anxious to see V in costume and kicking some ass.

^Crazy how 'Bandslam' is being brought up in reviews for other movies. I'm so glad the movie made such an impression w/ critics ... it's just a damn shame about the BO #'s but atleast she has a chance to redeem herself come next year w/ 'Beastly'. Crossing my fingers that CBS films markets the movie properly.
& I'm loving she made yet another list! I'm glad ppl are taking notice of her career choices. It's a big laugh in the face to the ppl who thought she'd just fade away after HSM yet she's getting all these magazine covers w/ adult mags not tween ones & she continues to book roles that are a far cry from goody goody Gabriella Montez.

^I agree. And I love how she is starting to get tons of attention from adult magazines in other countires. Examples below. In Style Poland Cover Vanity Fair - Italy (October 2009)![](http://i35.tinypic.com/56ue0.jpg) ^It may be from Italy, but its still Vanity Fair. ;) I want a spread in Itailian Vogue though. :) Cosmopolitan UK cover![](http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt39/clozzym/IMGP3408.jpg) ^ LOL at this picture being used for the same cover on 2 different magazines in the same month. (They used this picture for her September People Style Watch cover. ) But she looks hot in the picture.

I’m happy that Bandslam has received so much positive feedback from critics and I hope that summit use all the positive reviews and amend how they sell and market the DVD so that people actually realise how good this film is. It's good that Vanessa is on the radar of influential film critics and magazines like total film now it’s up to CBS to sell Beastly correctly but I trust in the fact that they will do their best as they want to prove they know how to make good films being the new guys on the block.

Loving the 2008 InStyle outtakes especially the ones with the pink dress. I wish she'd rock her hair straight more often ... I think it looks hotter than curly hair.

^Yup, her body looks alot more toned. 'Sucker Punch' training is really paying off cause she looks amazing.
She told Just Jared @ the event that she can now lift 155 lbs.

She looks amazing at the Neutrogena event. :)
I'm pretty sure part of her weight gain before Sucker Punch had to do with her needing to build muscle. But with as much training that these girls are doing...I'm thinking that Vanessa might have looked too skinny if she didn't gain weight.

BUMP
It looks like Vanessa is not with Hollywood $hit Records anymore since she is not listed on their main website anymore.
Thank GOD!
Hopefully we hear something soon about a new label.
Hollywood was horrible to her. Hopefully Jesse follows her and gets the f*ck off that label.

Both Vanessa and Corbin have been replaced on the Hollywood Records roster on their official website with new acts.
It looks she was able to get out of her contract. I'm so excited rite now! She can finally find a label that will take advantage of her true potential!!!

I'm so happy right now! ![:d](http://images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif) I can wait for new music until 2011 if it means that she is on a new label that actually gives a $hit about her and actually promotes her.

Vanessa will lend her vocals to A Very Special Christmas Vol 7. compilation album which benefits the Special Olympics. She'll be doing "Winter Wonderland". backseatcuddler.com/2009/10/01/big-names-in-music-unite-for-a-very-special-christmas-7-full-track-list/I'm excited to hear her rendition but I'm still excited over the fact she's finally off that sh!tty label. Since she's working on her acting rite now it'll probably be awhile till we hear something but I hope she'll be able to sign to a major label soon. Island Def Jam, Jive, Interscope or Epic would work for me ![:d](http://images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif)

^ it makes me both exited and worried. Exited because maybe all the Beyoncé related rumors were right, and if Beyjesus is helping her, we know we gonna get some bangers. If taht doesn't happens, the possibility of her in another label sounds great to me. But I'm worried about the possibility that she never put another record out again! :(

Just saw on twitter that this guy who fought with the chick from TCG when she bashed V and said "Crank It Up" would be Ashley's second single a few before the announcement, said that he was told she's now with Universal under Def Jam. It makes sense, apart the HR acts and Ashley (tho idk if Last Christmas was recorded during her HR or her WB sessions), most of the artist featured on the Christmas album are for Universal (Def Jam & Time Act are owned by them).

^ Could you possibly post the twitter here? I find it hard to believe she already signed with another label and some random person was notified about it.

I will post it later when I'm back home. I've been thinking about it, and remember that The Prophet's guy told us Beyoncé talked her into moving to Jay Z's label? Well, isn't that Def Jam?

I found him. twitter.com/agustinaimiI hope we find out something soon. I just want Vanessa to have a good label that treats her right. His profile says that he is a producer/songwriter. Vanessa did voice work for Robot Chickenshe's Superman's mom, she's a Wuzzle, she's in the Cloverfield skit...her longest part is Erin Esurance (it's the funniest one IMO. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0270.gif) )

Thanx for posting the twitter! I hope the whole Def Jam thing is true but I won't hold my breath.
& LOL @ Robot Chicken. I barely recognized her voice expect for in the Erin Esurance one (which I also thought was the funniest one). The Cloverfield one sounded like her after I watched it a 2nd time.

^ 'Bout to change the title now. I'm so glad the ladies over @ TH were able to ask her when they met her in Vancouver.
& I'm also glad they didn't go with the hairy beast look for 'Beastly' ... can't wait for the trailer!

^Well, it really depends. Technically, I've seen a bunch of people that don't have record contract sing for a movie/charity cds. The only thing the CD would tell is that "this artist appears courtesy of this record label". If she does have a new contract or is just shopping for one, I don't think she wanted to say because technically nobody is even supposed to know she is not with HR anymore. She was suprised when the girls told her that she was no longer listed on HR main website.
Her Winter Wonderland cover was definitely recorded post Hollywood Records because she told the girls over at TH (when they met her this past weekend) that she recorded it the day of the Fresh Face Neutrogena concert. She also said she recorded it with a live Jazz band.

Her Winter Wonderland cover was definitely recorded post Hollywood Records because she told the girls over at TH (when they met her this past weekend) that she recorded it the day of the Fresh Face Neutrogena concert. She also said she recorded it with a live Jazz band. Jazz and V together is becoming more and more usual. First the critics loved the jazzy inspired sound of "Sneakernight" (not the lyrics, but whatever) and "Gone With The Wind". Then she gets the part in Bandslam because of her "Rehab" rendition at the auditions (remember the director was gonna reject her because of her "HSM fame" until she sang and blow his mind), and during the promo she said during her interview with Alexa Chung that she went to lots of Jazz concerts during her stay in Montreal (while filming Beastly), and now this! Well it happens that J.R. Rotem ("Sneakernight" producer, who was praised for its organic sound), has created a jazz trio. They will record an album and perform at a club in Hollywood each saturday, each song guest starring one of Rotem's colaborators over the years, form Britney Spears to Snoop Dog. Wouldn't it be great for V to get a feature on J.R.'s album? And besides, performing with a jazz group will definitely make her appeal to a wider audience (musically).PS: I just want her to do Jazz for this, I don't want her to go the ALicia Keys route, I want her to do some club bangers & hot tacks like "Set It Off" and "Lets Dance", and maybe jazzy balads like GWTW or midtempos like "Committed".
