HOLLYWOOD - Disgraced High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens pulled out of her appearance on Thursday night's The Tonight Show in the wake of her nude-photo scandal.

The pretty teenager hit the headlines after confirming she posed for saucy snapshots intended only for the eyes of boyfriend and HSM costar Zac Efron.

The camera-phone pictures fell into the hands of a third party, which went public with the sexy images, placing them on select Web sites.

In a statement released last week, the actress 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 she no longer wants to talk about the controversy and pulled out of her appearance on The Tonight Show on Thursday afternoon.

A representative for the late-night talk show said, "Vanessa is no longer appearing on Thursday's Tonight Show due to a scheduling conflict. She will be rescheduling her appearance at a later date."
