Looks like V realizes how lucky she is.  Getting signed for HSM3 after a nude pic scandal, being sued for unpaid legal fees, & a heavily scrutinized relationship can really make you see how the rest of the world lives- at the end of a 2 day shopping spree w/ her mom, Vanessa Hudgens gave a $20 bill to a homeless man outside the mall.

Quality time with Mom must keep her pretty grounded- good for her.
