Tisdale has also pursued a music career and released her debut album Headstrong on February 6 2007. She also participated in High School Musical: The Concert and will play Sharpay Evans again in High School Musical 2.

Early life

Tisdale was born in Monmouth, New Jersey on July 2, 1985,[2] to Lisa Morris and Mike Tisdale. Her older sister, Jennifer Tisdale, is also an actress. Her maternal grandfather is Arnold Morris, the developer of Ginsu Knives; through her grandfather, she is also related to businessman Ron Popeil.She has a maltipoo dog,named Blondie.[3][4] Tisdale is Jewish on her mother's side and considers herself Jewish.[5][6] She was discovered by Bill Perlman, who is her current manager, at her hometown mall in Monmouth County, New Jersey when she was three.[7] She began acting, appearing in stage productions of Gypsy: A Musical Fable and The Sound of Music at the Jewish Community Center of Monmouth County.[8] She sang for Bill Clinton at the White House when she was twelve years old.[citation needed]

Career

Film and television

During the late 1990s, Tisdale appeared in episodes of several television series, including Smart Guy, 7th Heaven, Grounded for Life, Boston Public, Strong Medicine, Charmed, and Beverly Hills, 90210. She had a minor role in the 2001 film Donnie Darko and recurring roles on the sitcoms The Hughleys, and Still Standing. In 2002, she starred in a tv commercial for Fruit Gushers (notable for the head transformation) "Photo Booth" and her head transformed into an oversized orange. Then, Tisdale was cast in the role of Maddie Fitzpatrick on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody after auditioning for the roles of Maddie Fitzpatrick and London Tipton.[9] As the series became popular, Tisdale became a featured performer on the Disney Channel and performed a voice role in Whisper of the Heart. She was also cast in Disney's television film High School Musical, which became a major success for the channel after its premiere on January 20, 2006.

Tisdale originally tried out for Gabriella Montez, but was cast as Sharpay Evans.[10] The role required her to perform several songs, including "What I've Been Looking For," "Bop to the Top," and "We're All in This Together." All three managed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, Tisdale made music history by being the first female artist to ever debut with two songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 with "What I've Been Looking For" and "Bop to the Top."[11] She has also recorded versions of the songs "Some Day My Prince Will Come" and "Kiss The Girl" (including a music video)[12] for Disney. In addition, she recorded a version of "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" with the other members of the Disney Channel Circle of Stars, and appeared in the Disney Channel Games 2006 as captain of the Green Team. Tisdale is also appearing in the second rendition of the games, named "Disney Channel Games 2007".

More recently, Tisdale signed a deal with Staples, Inc. to appear in the promotional campaign for the company's "Geared 4 School" sweepstakes that fall. She will star in High School Musical 2, scheduled to air in August 17, 2007.

Tisdale appeared in the second episode of Season 8 of MTV's Punk'd. The skit was, she went to a children's hospital and sang "Kiss the Girl" to a little boy in a coma. After she sang a few lyrics of the song, the boy woke up. As she was singing, the lyrics were being censored out because MTV did not own the rights to the song. She also appeared in an episode where she helped Ashton Kutcher to punk her good friend and High School Musical co-star Zac Efron.

Tisdale told JustJared.com during an interview at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards that she will be filming a movie in August. No other information has been given since she stated she's superstitious.[13][unreliable source?]

Music

Tisdale's first solo album, Headstrong, is distributed by Warner Bros. Records and was released on February 6 2007. The album debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 album charts, selling 64,000 copies.[14] Her first single "He Said She Said," written by Jonathan "J.R." Rotem and Evan "Kidd" Bogart, was released on December 19 2006. There are three versions of the song: the Radio Disney version, which is more geared towards children; a version which Tisdale sings during the High School Musical Tour, and a version which is more "mature" than the other versions and has some "mature" content like touching and kissing. She filmed a music video on January 25, 2007 for "He Said, She Said." Her second single, Be Good to Me was released on iTunes on January 9, 2007, with a music video that was played on the Disney Channel and AOL. The songs were released on iTunes & Napster. On January 2007, Tisdale was declared the 2nd Hottest Woman of Pop/R&B by Blender Magazine, which stated: "Tisdale has a gift. Not an angelic voice or a dazzling personality, but an even rarer commodity: millions of 'pre-sold' preteens eager to buy her debut album!"[15] In March of 2007, Tisdale told Blender that she was drug and alcohol-free, going on to say "my mom really instilled confidence in me, so I'm not somebody who'd be under peer pressure."[16] Recently a Brazilian newspaper claimed that Ashley's new album Headstrong sold 23,000 copies in Brazil and over 500,000 copies worldwide.[17]
