Vanessa Hudgens, Beaver and More Legal Briefs

High School Musical starlet Vanessa Hudgens is being sued by her former lawyer, Brian Schall, who claims that out of the five percent of the $5 million she has earned since he came onboard in October 2005, he still has $150,000 due him.

Premise: The clean-cut 1950s sitcom, about young `Beaver' Cleaver, his brother Wally and their folks was a family favorite over its six-year run. Unlike most other sitcoms of that innocent era, the stories were told from the kids' point of view, with their stalwart parents always on hand to get them out of jams and give practical advice. In the '80s, the Beav and company enjoyed a comeback in a syndicated show, `The New Leave It to Beaver,' starring many from the original cast.
