Arlington-bred comedian Dane Cook has learned that joking about a "High
School Musical" star's nude-photo scandal isn't cool -- at least not on television. Cook, who was at the "Teen Choice Awards" the other night to present the "Choice Hottie" award toMegan Fox and Robert Pattinson, started his routine by saying to audience memberVanessa Hudgens, "Girl, you gots to keep your clothes [on]. Phones are for phone calls, girl." The joke referred to cell-phone images of a nude Hudges that recently surfaced on the Internet. It's the second time in just a few years that naked photos of the young actress have popped up online. Not surprisingly, Cook’s joke -- and Hudgens’s nonplussed reaction to it -- were edited out of the "Teen Choice Awards" before the program aired on FOX on Monday night. Cook told Access Hollywood that he didn’t mean to offend. “Mostly I just wanted it to be funny.”
