Vanessa Hudgens finds it “weird” reading gossip about herself.

The High School Musical actress — who is currently dating former costar Zac Efron — says she deals with tabloid speculation about her life by laughing at it.

“Reading gossip about myself is so weird,” she said. “Sometimes I’ll laugh because it will be a hysterical picture. There’s nothing you can do to control it, it’s out of my hands so I might as well just giggle about it.”

The 20-year-old also admits she’s a shopaholic, and is quite keen on British fashions.

“I’m a shopaholic and I think Topshop in London is amazing,” she said. “It’s a massive treasure chest to look through. I love UK fashion. I remember the first time I was in England. I was like, ‘Wow! I need to dress like everybody here because it’s incredible.’ It’s so much more over-the-top and I feel everyone takes a lot more risks than people do in LA.”

Asked how she keeps in shape, Hudgens said, “My workout combines Pilates and boxing together and it’s amazing. There is only one woman in LA who does it at the moment, so it’s special. I go with Ashley Tisdale, and Haylie Duff and I love taking a class with my girlfriends because we keep each other going.”
