Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler have gotten themselves into some serious trouble!
According to Page Six, an Instagram photo surfaced on Vanessa's page it seems as if the two may have carved their names into a rock in Sedona, Arizona. Sources say that in the photo, the two had their names surrounded by a heart on one of the rocks in the park.
The Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino Forest was notified of the incident on Monday (Feb.15). The forest's public affairs officer stated, " The issue of people carving their names and other things in the rocks in the Sedona and surrounding area is always a challenge we face and try to educate people about. We have found that if one person carves something, it encourages others to carve."
The maximum penalty is a $5,000 fine and/or six months in jail. Carving of any kind into natural beauty of the area is prohibited under Title 36 of CFR 261.9 (a). Investigators are using photos, tips, and witnesses to track down what really happened.

The official trailer for Fuller House has been released!
The Full House reboot, which premieres February 26 on Netflix, includes catchphrases from the original show, such as “Hola Tannerinos,” “Have mercy!” “Cut. It. Out” and “How rude!” as well as guest appearances from Danny (Bob Saget), Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) and Uncle Joey (Dave Coulier) and Aunt Becky (Lori Loughlin). Filled with the same craziness and love as the original, the cast hasn't lost their chemistry or jokes. "My moves are all that and a bag of chips. Talk to the hand, loser. Oh, snap! You go, girl. I think I just did,” Kimmy says in the tailer after Stephanie tells her she’s stuck in the ’90s.
Andrea Barber, Jodi Sweetin, and Candace Cameron Bure appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and said that “the door is open” for a guest appearance from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (Michelle), who unfortunately aren’t returning for the new series. Candace, who plays DJ, stated, “We make reference to them on the show though so they are not forgotten. We talk about them."
Creator Jeff Franklin said last month that he was hopeful for the Olsen twins' return in future seasons.“I tried. We all tried to persuade them to come and play. They decided not to at this time,” he said. “We’re hopeful at some point in the future, they may change their minds and reprise Michelle. We only need one of them!”

Matthew McConaughey and Charlize Theron are shifting gears as they appear in the upcoming film Kubo and the Two Strings! This is the duo's first step away from live-action film making, making their first official animated debut in the movie.
The duo decided to do the film because it is something that their kids can watch. Matthew tells PEOPLE that he would read to his three children a little section each night. McConaughey made the story apart of his family by connecting with children first.Charlize shared an adjacent story as she also shared the story with her children. According to PEOPLE, Kubo and the Two Strings tells a story of Kubo, a young boy who accidentally summons a vengeful spirit and goes on a magical quest to find a suit of armor once worn by his samurai father. Along Kubo's journey, he meets an odd assortment of allies including Monkey (Charlize), a sword wielding monkey, and Beetle (Matthew).
Making the switch to animation was not the easiest thing to do. Matthew was concerned that his voice would stand out in the film. He was worried that his "Texas twang" would stand out, so he stripped his accent for the film. Charlizehad to do the same thing, as she is originally from South Africa. It is impressive for the two to adjust to fit their characters. Kubo and the Two Strings hits theaters Aug 19! Image via PEOPLE
