Arlington-bred comedian Dane Cook has learned that joking about a "High
School Musical" star's nude-photo scandal isn't cool -- at least not on television. Cook, who was at the "Teen Choice Awards" the other night to present the "Choice Hottie" award to Megan Fox and Robert Pattinson, started his routine by saying to audience member Vanessa Hudgens, "Girl, you gots to keep your clothes [on]. Phones are for phone calls, girl." The joke referred to cell-phone images of a nude Hudges that recently surfaced on the Internet. It's the second time in just a few years that naked photos of the young actress have popped up online. Not surprisingly, Cook’s joke -- and Hudgens’s nonplussed reaction to it -- were edited out of the "Teen Choice Awards" before the program aired on FOX on Monday night. Cook told Access Hollywood that he didn’t mean to offend. “Mostly I just wanted it to be funny.”

  1. Being rude and calling someone out in front of children and teens is not funny. It's disrespectful. Well dude got a bit of press, he was low on that.

  1. Didn't mean to offend....Right. He made sure that the cameras were on her when he said it. Nothing sadder than a 37 tear old man with q 12 year olds sence of humor....Were talking about a guy thats older than my dad. I mean come on and strat acting like a grown up. Maybe if Mr Cook showed some repect to others he would have got respect from his own family. After all they were more than happy to steal all his money...Plus that stupid reporter thought it was funny. :( Access Hollywood should fire her. Thank God the audience Boo'ed him.

    I think Vanessa handled the whole thing better than I could have. She stayed and did what was expected of her.

    I also think the TCA producers knew it was going to happen and released the video even though it was cut from monday night. After all they had to know what kind of dance Miley was going to do and they let that go on.

  1. Come on Vanessa Hudgens loves publicity and to be in the lime light good or bad. That is why she exposed herself twice. No one could be that stupid to do it again without knowing the consequences. She just looked a little ticked not humiliated. Maybe with a little public advice she will keep her public exposure down a notch. God help the children that are looking up to her.
