“Beastly” actress Vanessa Hudgens stopped by a local Target with her new boyfriend Austin Butler in Los Angeles this afternoon. The happy couple headed back to the car after grabbing a cartload of stuff during their holiday shopping.

Vanessa, 22, and Austin, 20, started dating in September, about 8 months after Vanessa and Zac Efron called it quits. Austin rose to “stardom” playing Jamie Lynn Spears’ love interest on ‘Zoey 101′ and then costarred in the Disney movie ‘Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure’ with Vanessa’s best friend, Ashley Tisdale.

Vanessa Hudgens has landed herself a new Disney actor! She stepped out today with her new boyfriend, actor Austin Butler. The couple hit a gym with Vanessa’s BFF, Ashley Tisdale in Los Angeles.

On Saturday night, they both attended a birthday party for Ashley Tisdale’s sister at Lexington Social House in Hollywood.

But it was the PDA they packed on after the bash that got blogs buzzing…

After dinner, Vanessa was spotted sharing milkshakes with Austin, who starred alongside Ashley in Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure, at a Bob’s Big Boy in Studio City. They were caught on camera being openly affectionate as they snuggled and smooched over shakes.

“Vanessa is having fun and you can tell she just really likes him,” says a source. It seems like she likes him enough to have him sleep over, as he was also snapped leaving her house early on Monday morning.
