Does Vanessa Hudgens Have a New Beau?

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2011/news/110314/vanessa-hudgens-300.jpgJust a few weeks after Zac Efron showed PDA with actress Teresa Palmer, his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens has stepped out with someone new, too.

According to a source, Hudgens, 22, looked "smitten" last week with her Journey 2: Mysterious Island costar Josh Hutcherson at an L.A. after-party for the premiere of her latest flick, Beastly.

"Their arms were wrapped around each other and they were really touchy together," the source tells PEOPLE. "They were very cute."

Just two days later, Hutcherson, 18, brought Hudgens as his date to the Independent Spirit Awards, where his film The Kids Are All Right won for best screenplay.

"Josh walked Vanessa to the bathroom and then guided her to their seats with a hand on the small of her back," an onlooker says.

Hudgens and her High School Musical ex Efron split in December.
