Vanessa Hudgens Helps the Homeless

Continuing on with a second trip out shopping with her mom yesterday (changing clothes in between, of course), Vanessa Hudgens toted around her infamous red purse from store to store.

It seems that the Christmas spirit has gotten into the High School Musical actress, as she is said to have graciously given a $20 dollar bill to a homeless gentleman outside of the mall once she finished grabbing a few presents.

Meanwhile, in career-related news, the 18-year-old Disney star recently attended the DVD release party for the second HSM installment, talking to press about what she thinks the reason is behind it’s success.

“I think what is so great about the ‘HSM’ series is that people can really connect to our characters and fall in love with our characters; teens love all that drama that surrounds our lives.”

Enjoy the pictures of Vanessa out shopping on Monday (November 26).
