Actresses Scarlett Johansson and Vanessa Hudgens may be hoping for a happy, safe, and more private New Year in 2012. Their leaked nude photos in 2011 were among one website's top 11 news stories for celebs, and certainly is the type of story they may not want to rehash for the new year!
While both actresses had their share of dating gossip, movie roles, award show appearances, and other events, it seems the biggest focus was on the celebrity hacking scandal. When Vanessa Hudgens and Scarlett Johansson nude photos surfaced online, the FBI got involved this time. Eventually it led to arrest of Christopher Chaney. He had apparently hacked not just Johansson and Hudgens, but others including Mila Kunis and Christina Aguilera. The celeb news story ranked at the #10 spot on Gossip Cop's recent list of top news stories, with the Amy Winehouse death at the #1 spot.
Unfortunately for those stars who have had naked photos leaked online, it's difficult to make them go away. Once the hackers leak them online, the photos tend to show up on forums, websites, and small time blogging sites. Not much can be done by Vanessa Hudgens or Scarlett Johansson to stop the nude leaked photos, but with the man arrested who caused the problem, it sends a message to other hackers and thieves.
What will 2012 bring for these two actresses? New fame and fortune, new love, or more scandals? Scarlett and Vanessa are two celebrities looking to start the New Year with a clean slate, and try to leave this hacking scandal behind them!
