Vanessa Hudgens has a lot to smile about ... she's hot, her movie Sucker Punch hits theaters next week and she's sucking down a Frappuccino!

The brunette beauty hung out with friends in Beverly Hills to grab a bite. Vanessa may not be with Zac Efron anymore, but we have a feeling this gorgeous gal won't be single for long.

In a recent interview, the 22-year-old Beastly actress admitted that her friends have helped her through the fame game. She tells USA Today:

    “I had my family to keep me grounded ...I also had (my High School Musical co-stars) to grow with, like Ashley [Tisdale] and Zac [Efron]. We all went on this journey together and had each other to fall back on. You’ve got to have your friends to keep your head on straight."
