Vanessa Hudgens Loses Dad to Cancer, Dedicates Grease Performance to Him
Just hours before a professional milestone, Vanessa Hudgens has suffered a great personal loss:
The actress’ father, Greg Hudgens, has passed away from cancer. He was 65 years old.
The 27-year-old High School Musical alum relayed the sad news to fans and followers on Twitter Sunday morning.
“I am so sad to say that last night my daddy, Greg passed away from stage 4 cancer,” Hudgens wrote. “Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers.”
The star had revealed her dad’s unfortunate diagnosis last August.
“Last year, my boyfriend Austin lost his mom Lori to cancer, and my dad has just been recently diagnosed with stage four cancer,” Hudgens said at the time.
“Let me tell you, I hate cancer. I hate cancer with every cell of my being.”
Hudgens, of course, was cast as Rizzo in Fox’s live production of Grease, which airs tonight at 7/6c.
In regard to that performance, she added on social media:
“Tonight, I do the show in his honor.”
In addition to the actress, Greg Hudgens is survived by her mother and his wife, Gina Hudgens, along with Vanessa’s 20-year-old sister Stella Hudgens.
We send our condolences to Vanessa and her loved ones.
Rob Kardashian Just Drove 1,377 Miles to Rescue Blac Chyna
Rob Kardashian is actually really in love with Blac Chyna…
… or really dedicated to his act of vengeance against his family.
On Friday night, Chyna was arrested for public intoxication after boarding an airplane in Austin, Texas and causing quite the drunken scene.
After screaming at an employee and refusing to quiet down, Chyna was taken into custody by police who boarded the plane.
How did Rob react upon learning that his controversial new girlfriend was in trouble with the law?
According to TMZ, Kardashian hopped into his car almost immediately and drove from Beverly Hills to Texas in order to extricate Blac Chyna from the Lone Star state.
That’s a 1,377 mile drive.
Chyna shared a photo on Snapchat of her standing alongside a Bentley; a Bentley with a California license plate frame that has been confirmed as belonging to Rob.
“Bye Texas,” she wrote as a caption to the image.
Chyna was arrested at Austin International Airport Friday at 4:20 PM Texas time and the photo was posted at around 12:20 PM PST, 22 hours after the incident took place.
Insiders say that Rob’s relatives are concerned because they see this insane road trip as proof that Kardashian may be involved with drugs or alcohol.
They view it as an irrational course of action.
Due to Blac Chyna’s ongoing beef with Kylie Jenner (she is the ex-girlfriend and mother of Tyga’s son), Rob’s famous family members have made their negative feelings on the romance VERY clear.
But might Rob just be in love with Chyna?
Might this be the work of a caring boyfriend who is worried about his significant other and nothing so insidious?
Perhaps.
All we know for now is that Rob and Blac are driving back to Los Angeles from Texas as we type and that this relationship is only just beginning.
