HOLLYWOOD - Disgraced teen star Vanessa Hudgens is considering cashing in on her nude-photo scandal--by posing provocatively for a men's magazine.

The High School Musical actress recently admitted posing for naked camera phone shots that she meant only for the eyes of boyfriend Zac Efron.

But the saucy snaps fell into a third party's hands--and the mystery voyeur quickly realized he had images worth a fortune.

The naked pictures have already appeared on select Web sites, forcing Hudgens, 18, to come clean and admit she's the girl that many fans thought was a look-alike.

In a statement released last week, Hudgens said, "I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends."

But Hudgens has no plans to become a shrinking violet anytime soon--she's hoping to follow fellow teen star Hayden Panettiere by posing for sexy magazine shots.

Heroes star Panettiere recently celebrated her 18th birthday by posing for a sexy shoot in the British issue of men's magazine FHM.

Hudgens says, "I think being a woman and being able to show a sexy side is empowering. Being able to show we are comfortable in our skin is a good thing. I totally would pose for a sexy magazine. But not Playboy."

Meanwhile, the teenager is also considering a $500,000 deal to become a Girl Gone Wild.

Girls Gone Wild boss Joe Francis is hoping to persuade the Disney star to let him sex-up her good-girl image in a statement he has released from behind bars in Nevada, where he is serving a prison sentence for fraud.

Francis says "Vanessa Hudgens is the classic girl next door gone wild. Being sexual is not a crime."
