ASHLEY TISDALE

This Jersey girl is best known from Disney's hit High School Musical, but this talented performer has been in show business since she was three. Discovered at a mall, she nailed her first audition and went on to star in over 100 commercials. At age eight, she landed a lead role in the Broadway musical "Les Miserables" and later toured internationally with the cast of "Annie".

Her big break came in 2005 when she was cast as Maddie Fitzpatrick in the "Suite life of Zach & Cody." This began the career with Disney that catapulted her to the mainstream of the entertainment industry. Following the successful High School Musical franchise, Tisdale continues to keep busy. She released an album, titled Headstrong and became a spokes model for Degree. She also made musical history being the first female artist ever to debut with two songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 with "What I've Been Looking For" and "Bop to the Top." Young Hollywood is impressed at how easily this High School star has transformed from small town girl into a household name. Her newest album Guilty Pleasures is showing the world that she can shine on her own.
