Vanessa Hudgens is pregnant
“The Princess Switch” star surprised many online when she debuted her pregnancy ahead of hosting the red carpet show for ABC.

Liza Koshy falls on the red carpet
She’s not the first star to do it, and she won’t be the last. Long gowns and high heels while glamorous, don’t always make for the best combination when walking is involved.
When zoomed in on the heel, I knew. https://t.co/ocDzQyXfvq

However, the “Players” actress is in good company. Many will remember Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her dress as she was walking up the stairs to accept her Oscar for Best Actress in 2013.
