People is reporting that Vanessa Hudgens is currently being sued for $150,000.00 by her former attorney, Brian Schall. Mr. Schall claims that the High School Musical actress owes him for two years worth of legal fees. He filed the lawsuit with the court in California on Monday. Mr. Schall claims that Vanessa signed contracts that give him 5 percent of her earnings from October 2005. The $150,000.00 is 5% of the reported 5 million she’s made since then.

Still dealing with the nude-photo fallout, Vanessa Hudgens canceled her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday.

Producers confirmed that the High School Musical star, 18, had been booked and that they were rescheduling.

No reason was given for her cancellation, and a rep for the actress did not respond to a request for comment. But her no-show comes after naked pictures of Hudgens hit the Internet last week. She has since apologized to her fans and says she is “embarrassed over this situation.”

This week, Hudgens was given a boost when she received a vote of confidence from the head of a clothing line that uses her as a spokeswoman.

“More power to her,” Marc Ecko, founder and chief creative officer of Marc Ecko Enterprises, tells PEOPLE. “She made a mistake and has apologized for it. I’m just glad no one’s leaked the pictures of me in all of my naked glory.”

Hudgens stars in the fall and holiday 2007 and spring 2008 ad campaigns for Red by Marc Ecko, a contemporary young women’s apparel and footwear collection.

Hudgens is the second young actress recently to cancel a Tonight Show appearance. In July, Lindsay Lohan also bowed out of the program after her DUI arrest, and was replaced by comedian Rob Scheider – who showed up dressed in drag as Lohan.

Following the appearance on the Web of a nude photo of Vanessa Hudgens, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE that the High School Musical actress once sent risqué photos of herself to Nickelodeon star Drake Bell.

Hudgens had emailed photos to the Drake and Josh actor a couple of years ago, before she was famous, the source says.

Bell’s rep, Jill Fritzo, tells PEOPLE of the images that began hitting blogs on Thursday: “Drake says he never received those photos.”

Hudgens, 18, appeared in a 2006 episode of Bell’s Nickelodeon show as his character’s girlfriend. In real life, Hudgens is dating her High School Musical costar Zac Efron, and the two are in Australia at the moment, where he is promoting Hairspray.

In a statement Friday, Hudgens apologized for the pictures and says she is “embarrassed over the situation and regret[s] having ever taken these photos.”

The pictures, including one nude photo, first surfaced on the Web Thursday, prompting her rep to issue a statement saying that the shot “was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public.”

The Disney Channel has said it is continuing negotiations with the High School Musical cast, including Hudgens, for a third installment of the movie series, according to the Chicago Tribune. “Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment,” Disney said in a statement. “We hope she’s learned a valuable lesson.”
