Jan. 25 2013, Published 3:25 p.m. ET
Vanessa Hudgens is pleased that she can help younger pal Selena Gomez as she navigates life after her breakup with Justin Bieber.
The Disney darlings co-star together in Spring Breakers, and teamed up for girl time with Ashley Tisdale after the Golden Globes earlier this month.
“That girl is so smart, beautiful, talented and amazing,” Vanessa, 24, says of Selena, 20, Thursday when JCPenney and Nanette Lepore launch L’Amour by Nanette Lepore at Good Units at the Hudson Hotel in NYC. “She’s got such a great head on her shoulders. I’m just there to hold her hand and have fun with her. I just adore her.”

Of course, Vanessa knows what it’s like to endure a split with a heartthrob under the harsh spotlight. She and High School Musical co-star Zac Efron were an item from 2006-2010.
