Vanessa Hudgens Dedicates Grease Performance To Dad, After Losing Him To Cancer

Just hours before a professional milestone, Vanessa Hudgens has suffered a great personal loss:

The actress' father, Greg Hudgens, has passed away from cancer. He was 65 years old. Rest in peace.

The 27-year-old High School Musical alum relayed the sad news to fans and followers on Twitter Sunday morning.

"I am so sad to say that last night my daddy, Greg passed away from stage 4 cancer," Hudgens wrote. "Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers."

The star had revealed her dad's unfortunate diagnosis last August.

"I am so sad to say that last night my daddy, Greg passed away from stage 4 cancer," Hudgens wrote. "Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers."

The star had revealed her dad's unfortunate diagnosis last August.

"Last year, my boyfriend Austin lost his mom Lori to cancer, and my dad has just been recently diagnosed with stage four cancer," Hudgens said at the time.

"Let me tell you, I hate cancer. I hate cancer with every cell of my being."

Hudgens, of course, was cast as Rizzo in Fox's live production of Grease, which airs tonight at 7/6c.

In regard to that performance, she added on social media:

"Tonight, I do the show in his honor."

In addition to the actress, Greg Hudgens is survived by her mother and his wife, Gina Hudgens, along with Vanessa's 20-year-old sister Stella Hudgens.

We send our condolences to Vanessa and her loved ones.

Taylor Swift Is Now Adjusting To Actual Workout Clothes to The Gym

With teaser after teaser of cameos from Karlie Kloss, Cindy Crawford and Cara Delevigne to name a few it's fair to say we were pretty excited about the official release of Taylor Swift's Bad Blood music video. But when we finally got to click play and watch the

video in full, it wasn't Gigi Hadid's nor Ellie Goulding's appearances we were talking about but instead how amazingly strong and powerful Taylor was looking.

From her flat abs in that white latex two piece, to her lean muscled arms in a black leather crop as she throws punches at Karlie Kloss and her long toned legs as she stomps through flames with her girlgang, we bet we aren't the only ones who found themselves pinning photos of Taylor to their phones.

Everyone is following the New Year stay-in-shape head to the Gym and stay healthy to run the year smoothly.

To Start 

Listen to: Welcome To New York - upbeat and confident - this workout has 'been waitin for you...' 

Warm up - 5 minutes on the cross trainer or jogging to warm up the muscles and joints to get ready to exercise, prevent injury and be mentally prepared.  Add in bodyweight squats, lunges and arm circles to get the body really ready.

For Taylor-esque Arms...

Listen to: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. It's got a regular beat that you can push throught the burn to.

Here's how...

1. Tricep dips - 3 x 10-15 reps, 30 secs rest in between each set. 

Equipment: Use a box or a step. A park bench works too. 

Method: 

Amanda says: 'Sitting on the edge of the step, hands close either side of the body, take your bum off the step and lower your body until elbows reach 90 degrees before pushing to the top of the movement. Keep your torso as close to the step as possible.' 

2. Press ups - 3 x 10-15 reps, 30 secs rest in between each set. 

Equipment: Use a box if your full floor press ups aren't strong.

Method:

Amanda says: 'With your hands shoulder width apart, bring one foot forward to support you, bend at the elbows and lower until your chest reaches the box, before pushing back to the top of the movement, keeping your core tight throughout.' 

3. Dumbell Lateral Raise - 3 x 12-15 reps , 30 secs rest in between each set 

Equipment: One pair of dumbells - start with 4kg until you build your strength up 

Method: 

Amanda says: 'Stand up right with your core tight and shoulders back, raise the Dumbells until they reach shoulder height, keeping a slight bend at the elbow throughout, before returning to the bottom.' 

To Get Taylor Swift Abs...

Listen to: Bad Blood. Abs exercises are literally the worst when it comes to the no-pain no-gain mantra, so close your eyes, pretend they're your enemy and blast through them.

It All Starts With Setting Your Own Goals Staying Consistent And True To Yourself Year Long. The Results Will come. #LegacyBuilders2016 #FongangMbanwei
