High School Musical star Vanessa Anne Hudgens is being sued for $5 million by the man who helped to launch her singing career.

Johnny Vieira filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Monday, alleging that he and Hudgens entered into a production agreement to launch the teenager's career. He claims they had a deal to "share equally" in her potential success. Vieira says the agreement was approved by the court because she was a minor.

Vieira goes on to say that she dumped him when the Disney film became a success and they entered into a settlement agreement. He claims Hudgens owes him more than $2 million and is suing for a total of $5 million.
