"We didn't, like, try to avoid him or anything."
Vanessa Hudgens is quite the loyal gal pal!
The 26-year-old Spring Breakers star appeared on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live! on Thursday, where she dished on Justin Bieber and her close friend Selena Gomez's encounter at this year's Met Gala. The exes didn't have a run-in on the red carpet, but they reportedly a spent a lot of time in the same room together at Rihanna's star-studded afterparty, though the two only "exchanged some words." The "Baby" singer later stirred the pot in a TMZ video by commenting that Selena "looked gorgeous" that night.
"She's one of my best friends, and you just want to have your girlfriend's back, so that's what I did," Vanessa said when asked by a caller about the former on-again/off-again couple's encounter. "We didn't, like, try to avoid him or anything. I mean, no one wants to really see your ex-boyfriend."
Vanessa and Selena indeed were all about the girl power that night, hanging with Lily Collins and Janelle Monae.
Vanessa also hilariously revisited her breakout role as Gabriella Montez in High School Musical during her Bravo appearance, with a little help from Twilight star Kellan Lutz and Andy Cohen! Check out the three reenacting the dramatic pool scene from High School Musical 2, in which Gabriella confronts Troy [Zac Efron's character].
Kellan makes an excellent Sharpay [Ashley Tisdale's character], no?
