Hudgens: Leah Clearwater?

New Moon + Vanessa = WTF?

With all the "New Moon" casting rumors that have been floating around since "Twilight" hit theaters, we sre especially wondering who would play werewolf Leah Clearwater, Jacob Black's feisty and heartbroken frienemy.

Maybe Vanessa Hudgens didn’t hear the news about Leah Clearwater not appearing in “New Moon.” The “High School Musical” star still seems to think that she has a chance of playing the part of the disgruntled female werewolf in the “Twilight” sequel.

She has apparently taken the next step and auditioned for the role.

“It’s still a rumor; I’m really interested,” she told “Extra.” “I think it’s a great project, but nothing’s happening as of now.”

Perhaps “nothing’s happening” coz earlier this month, Melissa Rosenberg, who wrote both films, told People that we won’t be seeing Leah until the third movie, “Eclipse,” set for 2010. “I’m not sure about [final] casting, but I had heard Vanessa Hudgens was going up for the part of Leah,” Rosenberg said. “But at the moment, the part of Leah doesn’t happen until the third movie.”

Hudgens told “Extra” that she’s a fan of the book series (where Leah does, in fact appear in the second book). “Yes, love it,” she said. “My sister has read all of the books too.”

Rumors began swirling that Hudgens had auditioned for the role last month, when MTV News caught up with “Twilight” star Ashley Greene, who said she thought Hudgens could be a good fit for Leah. “I think she’d be great,” Greene said.

Personally I hope that they delete Leah's part or just even forbid Vanessa to take the floor, thinking she has a chance!
