Naked pictures aren't going put a damper in Vanessa Hudgens' social schedule!

Just hours after her lawyer told E! News that the actress was "deeply upset and angered" over the leak of more explicit photos, the ex-HSMer hit a Hollywood concert.

So what band did she just have to see? And what's the Kardashian connection?

Vanessa was at the Roxy last night to see the BG5 show, which was hosted by Rob Kardashian.

"She's best friends with Laura New, one of the girls in the group. She came to support her," a source tells E! News, adding that Vanessa arrived around 8 p.m. to the venue.

"She was there with girlfriends and looked like she was in a good mood considering the picture leak," an eyewitness tells us, "She was dancing in the VIP area of the club near Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom."

But this wasn't a ladies' only night. Vanessa was also joined by Josh Hutcherson, her Journey 2: The Mysterious Island costar, who she hung with at Elton John's Oscar party and took a motorcycle ride with yesterday.

"She didn't seem to be 'with' him," an eyewitness tells us.

It was a relatively early night for the Disney starlet, who managed to avoid paps when she departed around 9:30 p.m.

Too bad Kim Kardashian wasn't in attendance at the concert, as she probably could give Vanessa some advice on how to bounce back from an embarrasing scandal.

Why was Kim MIA? The E! reality star had a girls' dinner at STK, where she was joined by LaLa Vasquez, Serena Williams, Ciara and Brittny Gastineau.
