Personal life

Tisdale was born in Monmouth County, New Jersey on July 2, 1985,[2] to Lisa (née Morris) and Mike Tisdale. She grew up there in Ocean Township.[3] Her elder 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.[4][5] Tisdale is Jewish on her mother's side and considers herself Jewish.[6][7] She was discovered by Bill Perlman, her current manager, at South Shores Mall, when she was three.[8] After booking her first audition, she went on to star in around hundred national network commercials. At the age of eight, she got a leading role in the Broadway musical, Les Misérables and later toured internationally with the cast of Annie.[8] 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.[9][10]



Career


Film and television
During the late 1990s, Tisdale had guest appearances in several television series, which included 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 a guest appearance on The Amanda Show. She had recurring roles on the sitcoms The Hughleys, and Still Standing. In 2002, she starred in a notable TV commercial for Fruit Gushers, in which her head transformed into an oversized orange. She also starred in a T-Mobile commercial with Catherine Zeta-Jones and was in a Toys r Us commercial with Abigail Breslin.

In 2005, 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.[11] 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 Channel Original Movie High School Musical, which became a major success for the channel after its premiere on January 20, 2006. Tisdale also auditioned for the role of Erin Ulmer in Final Destination 3 but lost out to Canadian actress Alexz Johnson.[citation needed]

Tisdale was cast as Sharpay Evans in Disney Channel Original Movies, High School Musical. Tisdale had originally auditioned for the role of Gabriella Montez, but was eventually cast as Sharpay Evans, because it was felt that her alto voice suited a darker character.[12] She reprised her role as Sharpay Evans in High School Musical 2 which premiered on August 17, 2007. She appeared in the Disney Channel Games 2006 as captain of the Green Team. Tisdale is also appearing in the second rendition of the Disney Channel Games this year. More recently, Tisdale signed a deal with Staples, Inc. to appear in the promotional campaign for the company's "Geared 4 School" sweepstakes in the fall. Tisdale will also have a supporting role in the Disney Channel cartoon Phineas and Ferb.

Tisdale appeared in the second episode of Season 8 of MTV's Punk'd in which, she visits a children's hospital and sings "Kiss the Girl" to a little boy in a coma. Midway through the song, the boy wakes up. As she was singing, the lyrics were censored out, as 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.[13] On July 18, 2007, MTV News confirmed in an article interview with Ashley Tisdale, that the movie is titled Picture this.[14] This father-daughter movie features Tisdale as an unpopular girl working at Petco. Ashley states she will probably return to her natural brunette hair color for this movie.[14

Music
Tisdale's role in High School Musical required her to perform several songs, which included songs such as "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 ever to debut with two songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 with "What I've Been Looking For" and "Bop to the Top".[15][10] She has also recorded cover versions of "Some Day My Prince Will Come" and "Kiss The Girl" (including a music video)[16] for Disney. In addition to these, she recorded a version of "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" with other members of the Disney Channel Circle of Stars.

Tisdale's first solo album, Headstrong, was released on February 6, 2007 and was distributed by Warner Bros. Records. The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 album charts, selling 64,000 copies.[17] Though her first single was "He Said She Said", written by J. R. Rotem and Evan "Kidd" Bogart, it was released later, with "Be Good To Me" being released as her first single. In 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" tweens eager to buy her debut album!".[18] In March 2007, Tisdale told Blender that she was drug and alcohol-free, and went on to add, "my mom really instilled confidence in me, so I'm not somebody who'd be under peer pressure".[19] Recently, a Brazilian newspaper claimed that Ashley's new album Headstrong sold 23,000 copies in Brazil,[20] while the worldwide sales for Headstrong have been over 709,500.

Recently, Lil Mama and Tisdale recorded a song called "Graffiti Gurl" for Lil Mama's debut album Voice of the Young People.[citation needed] On December 15, Tisdale will perform in 'Y-100's Jingle Ball' alongside Timbaland and Good Charlotte[21].

Tisdale also recorded a cover version of 'Last Christmas' (released by British pop duo Wham! in 1984) which she recently performed at the lighting of the 75th Rockefeller Christmas tree and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.[citation needed]


Music videos
Tisdale shot a music video for her single, "Be Good To Me", which was from her album Headstrong . A video for the same single also featured on the High School Musical: The Concert DVD. Ashley also featured in a music video remake of, "Kiss the Girl", from The Little Mermaid, which is included on The Little Mermaid Special Edition DVD. She has also featured in the "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" (originally from Disney's Cinderella) music video made for Disney Channel, along with several other Disney Channel stars. The music videos of "What I've Been Looking For" and "We're All In This Together" from High School Musical are available on iTunes. The US iTunes Store also sells the High School Musical movie and the concert version.

Tisdale filmed three music videos for "He Said She Said", "Not Like That" and "Suddenly" for her current album Headstrong on June 26, 2007.[22] On September 19, 2007, "He Said She Said" premiered in the US on TRL.[23]

Last Christmas (Single Version) by Ashley Tisdale

Chorus:]
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone......special
Halalalala-Halalalala-Halalalala-Halalalala

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas,
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

[Chorus]
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special


Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
Halalalala-Halalalala-Halalalala-Halalalala
(yeah e yeah)

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face, a lover with a fire in her heart
A man under cover but
You tore me apart, ooo-ooo
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

[Chorus]
Last Christmas(last christmas)
I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(I'll give it to someone)

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart(i gave u my heart but the very next day)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone...special
(Last christmas, last christmas)
I'll give it to someone........special
Halalalala-Halalalala-Halalalala-Halalalala

If ya got the time I'll take it
If ya got the vibe we'll make it
I'll do that I'll do that
If you wanna dance let's move it
If you wanna play let's play it

You know that I'do anything for you

If you want the world you got it
If you want the girl you got it

And you make me smile when I wanna frown
You know that I'do anything for you

Don't you blow it

If you want the world you got it
If you want the girl you got it
I'll do that baby

Over It by Ashley Tisdale

Every time I saw you
Trying to pretend
Now I think you're caught in
A spin
Said that I could trust
You'd be my everything
Falling from the shadows
Now I see

All those times were wasted
When you tried to hide it from me

CHORUS:
I don't care what you're sayin'
I don't care what you're doin'
Never really had me
I'm over it
So why is it so hard to see


All the lies you tell me
I am getting out I'm moving on
I'm over it

Tried to walk away
But my heart was sayin' no
Can't believe it took so
Long to go
Now the past is fading
I hardly know your name
Don't know what you're doin'
Ya lost the game

All those times were wasted
When you tried to hide it from me

Chorus 2x




Unlove You by Ashley Tisdale

I fell in a perfect way
Never had a choice to make
Crashed into your tidal wave
I didn't even struggle
Sailed right through your atmosphere
Closed my eyes and landed here
Didn't see the trouble
And I didn't care

Chorus:
I can't unlove you
Can't do that
No matter how I try
I'll never turn my back on
Someone who loved me too
I can do most anything I have to

But this one thing I cannot change
I almost kind of like the pain
Wear your tattoo like a stain
It will take forever
To fade away

Chorus
[Unlove You lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

I can't unlove you no
why would i want to oh

I can't unlove you
Can't do that
i'll never
get through that
why would i want to

There's always time for other dreams
Why must we erase these things?

I can't unlove you
Can't do that
No matter how I try
I'll never turn my back on
Someone who loved me too
But I can't unlove you
can't do that
No matter how I try
I'll never turn my back on
Someone who loved me too
I can do most anything I have to
But I can't unlove you



Goin' Crazy by Ashley Tisdale

Something about your style got me freakin' out
Hey boy, hey boy
Gotta make you mine and there ain't no doubt
Hey boy, hey boy
You're really laid back and you play it smooth
Hey boy, hey boy
I see the way you move from across the room and I know I'm tripping on you

Boy I'm feeling something real and
I don't know what to do
So excited, I can't hide it
Got my eyes on you

Chorus:
You've got me goin' crazy
Want to be your baby
I don't know what to do
I can't take my eyes off you
You've got me goin' crazy
It's just the way you're moving
I really wish you knew, what you do
I can't take my eyes off you

You so sensational, I think you've got it all

Hey boy, hey boy
And I like the way you're unpredictable
Hey boy, hey boy
Won't you come to me, just like I wished
Hey boy, hey boy
'Cause I never met a guy who made me feel like this
It's a chance that I just can't miss oh

Boy I'm feeling something real and
I don't know what to do
So excited, I can't hide it
Got my eyes on you

Chorus:
You've got me goin' crazy
Want to be your baby
I don't know what to do
I can't take my eyes off you
You've got me goin' crazy
It's just the way you're moving
I really wish you knew, what you do
I can't take my eyes off you


Got me losing my mind
Boy wish you were mine
Why don't you send me a sign
I've been losing my sleep
Think I'm falling too deep
Don't know what it is you do to me
What you do to me

Chorus(x2):
You've got me goin' crazy
Want to be your baby
I don't know what to do
I can't take my eyes off you
You've got me goin' crazy
It's just the way you're moving
I really wish you knew, what you do
I can't take my eyes off you



Don't Touch [The Zoom Song] by Ashley Tisdale

Zoom zoom in under my skin
Gotta slow down now to begin
Baby don't rush you can look but don't touch

You think you know
When you see me in my videos
How the story goes
But that's just the side that I expose
Look through the lens
You see my body, not who I am...
So don't pretend
And try to act like your my boyfriend

U wanna get somewhere
Then boy don't touch me there
Just get up close and personal, personal

Chorus:
Zoom zoom in under my skin
Gotta slow down now to begin
Baby don't rush you can look but don't touch
Zoom zoom
In...to my head
Gotta know me to be my man
Boy prove your love
[ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ]

You can look but don't touch

You won't behave
You're gettin' all up in my face
Barely know your name, you're tryin' to score
But it's not a game
Boy get a clue yeah

Pay your dues following the rules if u want me to want to be with u

U wanna get somewhere
Then boy don't touch me there
Just get up close and personal, personal

Chorus 2x
