Vanessa Hudgens Matriculates to Trial

UPDATE: On April 1, 2009, a judge dismissed all but one of Vieira's claims, meaning he can only pursue the accusation of breach of settlement agreement if and when the case goes to trial next month.
"We're pleased with the results," said Hudgens attorney Christopher F. Wong.

Her senior year was pretty fab, thanks to Troy and all, but Vanessa Hudgens' postgrad plans aren't all singing and dancing.
A judge has set a May 11, 2009, trial date in the lawsuit accusing the High School Musical star and her father of backing out of a deal with a guy named Johnny Vieira and his Johnny on the Spot Productions.
In court today, the Hudgens family's attorney told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Malcolm Mackey that they were not interested in mediation and would rather take this beef to trial.
The defendants did leave the door open for future mediation if so desired.
Per the suit, Vanessa and dad Greg broke a contract she signed as a minor, and they still owe Vieira about $70,000 in court-ordered compensation. The producer wants a thorough audit of Hudgens' finances and $5 million in damages.
UPDATE: Despite the defense's objections, a judge ruled March 25, 2009, that Hudgens must answer written questions about her endorsement deals and pay Vieira $1,500 in attorneys' fees for the time spent drawing up the Q&A request.
