The actress-singer attended Bauer Publishing’s M magazine Hollywood Halloween party at Marquee on November 11 in New York City. She admitted her love for handbag and she received her first Louis Vuitton at 19 from her parents.

She planned to spend the holiday with her family. As for the upcoming Thanksgiving, Ashley is thankful for everything such as the happiness and good health of her family as well as success of everything.

Ashely wrote to her Twitter that she was eating lunch with Zac and she wished that Vanessa was there. After their lunch, the pair hugged each other and parted ways until Ashley received a parking ticket.

Meanwhile, after returning to Los Angeles, Zac was welcomed back by a group of professional autograph hunters. He was obliged by adding his signature next to his photo of buff torso.

She continued that the “Hannah Montana” star has really stayed true to herself and somebody who always there to listen. She revealed that Miley’s family is very supportive.

Ashley thinks that it’s important to have friends because it is great to have them for support, who have best intentions and who you can trust. Aside from having friends, Ashley admitted her love of shopping as well as being a big fan of purses and sunglasses.

The star talked about letting her career mature while embracing the existing ‘High School Musical’ audience – and whether kissing Zac Efron was as disgusting as she claimed.

The two halves of your career looks fairly different right now. Your new album ‘Guilty Pleasures’ sounds more grown-up than anything you’ve done, and ‘Aliens in the Attic’ is unmistakably a kid-flick. Are you just doing your own thing?
“I’m doing my thing. I wanted to make an album that I would listen to. I’m 24, so I wanted to make something my friends would enjoy. I feel that it’s two separate things, too – with music, you can get away with a lot more. When I was younger, I would listen to Britney Spears’ ‘Hit Me Baby (One More Time),’ when I was 11 or 10, and I had no idea what she was talking about. But I liked it – the music was great, the beat was awesome. Kids don’t really read into the lyrics much at a young age. I’m not putting myself out there visually in my album in a way that makes you scared of your kids listening to it.

Movie-wise, that movie was done right before ‘High School Musical 3.’ At the time, it was the perfect movie to do, because it’s a big family movie. It reminds me of a mix between ‘Goonies’ and ‘Home Alone,’ two movies I loved when I was young. We had such an amazing cast.

Still, I’m looking at other roles that are a little bit more mature, but I’m not trying to run away from my audience… I want to build more into teen movies, obviously, not just tween things.”

In a recent interview, you said that kissing Zac Efron for an episode of ‘The Suite Life’ on Disney was “disgusting.” Really? Disgusting?
“I think disgusting was such a bad word for that; it sounds so dramatic. I was exhausted and it was my last interview before lunch. I’m like – ‘Okay, it was not disgusting.’ It was just weird and awkward. If I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I liked it,’ I don’t think Vanessa [Hudgens] would like that very much.

Our relationship, it was different from the start. He’s a lot younger than me, and he looked even younger when I met him. He was 16, I think, and I was 19. That’s a big difference at that age. Now, he looks older than me. He looks definitely good, for sure, but … you always remember when you were young, and how you first met. We’re always there for each other.

Sometimes you meet guys that you know you want to be friends with, but then – maybe in the future. With me and him, we’ve always been really good friends, and it’s even better that he’s dating my best friend.”

Is dating a challenge for you, given that your world is one where paparazzi hang out in trees for hours, just waiting to snap a picture of you?
“Not really. I don’t date just to date – I have to really like someone in order to date them. I just don’t go for actors. I like kind of having somebody that’s in a different side of the business. I like to be with someone who’s creative and talented, but I tend to go for somebody who’s doing something I’m not doing. Then we have different things to talk about.”

Do you ever have those petty moments where you look back people who might not have been the nicest in high school and enjoy that you made it big – and they didn’t
“I really don’t. I think I’m very grounded. I think I’m someone who’s always very grateful for everything that’s come my way. I’ve had to work very hard for it. I haven’t just landed here and it just happened. I did have to deal with people in school who didn’t ever think I would do something with [acting], or they would joke around and write in my yearbook, ‘Oh, see you at the Oscars,’ or ‘Put my name in your speech’ – just being sarcastic, but I never thrive on negativity. I’m a positive person, I always look ahead.

And I’m not a bragging person either. I think I’m very grateful. I’m very normal, I guess.”

She performed at the event and afterwards, she tweeted, “Tired!!! Goin’ home with [Caroline Clark]! Sleepover… Movie anyone?”

Meanwhile, Ashley Tisdale also seen as she chatted on her cell phone while she makes her way back to her car from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on Friday morning (July 24) in Toluca Lake, California.

The 24-year-old singer/actress, who just returned from Mall of America in Minneapolis, covered up her recently revealed back tattoo.

Ashley dished to Ryan Seacrest earlier this week on what the tattoo says: “Believe with two stars. My mom always told me to believe in myself.” How sweet!

Opening up to the newest issue of OK! Magazine about her soon-to-be-released album “Guilty Pleasure”, Ashley Tisdale also addresses some issues concerning her personal life, one of which is about her ideal man. “I’m a big romantic, so I love guys who are romantic too. I think it’s important to be with someone that you can be yourself around. I need a guy that I can hang out with in sweats and no makeup and still feel comfortable and beautiful. Someone who’s trustworthy,” she explains.

And when she is asked to mention her favorite food, Ashley admits, “I love French fries and bread, and when I’m on tour I have McDonald’s … At home, I like to cook – I love omelets in the morning.” She, however, is quick to add, “Still, I have started working out, so I do try to limit carbs and add protein. I want to build a little muscle.”

Still in the same interview, Ashley also sounds off the importance of friends in her life. “It’s important to have girlfriends, because guys tend to come and go … I hang out with Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens a lot and watch chick flicks and I listen to music like Pink’s ‘So What’ and Britney Spears’ ‘Out From Under.’ That helps me move on faster. Miley’s a big sweetheart. She’s stayed true to herself and hasn’t changed for how huge she is. She’s always there to listen,” the actress-singer reveals.

As for “Guilty Pleasure” itself, which will be made available for purchase in U.S. on June 16, Ashley reveals, “It’s edgier and more mature … There’s a lot of breakup songs from stuff I experienced.” Speaking of a ballad titled “What If,” which she wrote with “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi, she claims it “is about when you’re in a relationship and you say ‘If I really needed you, would you actually be there?’”

Ashley Tisdale’s full interview with OK! Magazine is featured on its newest issue, which will go on sale on Thursday, May 28.

The High School Musical star, 20, ended her year-long relationship with V Factory’s Murillo in early April, but sparked rumors she had already moved on after she was snapped stepping out with music video director Scott Speer.

However, Tisdale has dismissed the claims and is adamant there is nothing romantic about her friendship with Speer, who she worked with for her new single It’s All right, It’s OK.

She tells E! News, “He’s a really hot, good friend of mine. I’m not in a relationship. I’m single. We have a really good, creative relationship.”

Apparently, previous report of Ashley Tisdale having new boyfriend is proven true as she was seen enjoying an outing with an unidentified guy in Malibu, California on Saturday, April 18. The alleged lovers were videotaped by Hollywood TV having lunch at Gladstone’s.

At that time, Ashley was seen wearing a white top paired with short denim. Her male companion, meanwhile, was spotted sporting a blue t-shirt paired with jeans. Ignoring a photographer who followed and asked her some questions, Ashley was caught on camera keeping her body close to the guy’s. She even used his body to cover her face from the camera. At one point she held the guy’s arm and he, in return, caressed her waist.

Ashley Tisdale had been dating her dancer boyfriend Jared Murillo more than two years when news of their separation was made public by US Weekly on April 10. No record on the cause of their break-up though.

Soon thereafter, a news suggested that Ashley was seen giving a mysterious man a lap dance at the hot club h.wood before reports on her split with Jared surfaced. Her new man reportedly was music video director Scott Speer. Though so, no single word has been made by Ashley about the many news surrounding her love life.

When Ashley returned from her vacation to Mexico on Monday, Speer was seen bringing her flowers and pushing her luggage.

Ashley was quizzed on the spotting when she appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s Morning Show on KIIS FM on Tuesday, April 14, for the world premiere of her new single It’s Alright It’s O K from her upcoming second album Guilty Pleasure.

“We are really good friends. He’s directed all my videos and we have a great relationship,” Ashley said.

“I am single right now. I am not jumping into anything. But ya, he is a really very good friend and he is definitely very hot,” she added.

Ashley also said her new album contains songs about her recent breakup with Jared Murillo and she plans a US tour in support of the album in August.

Not yet confirming the flying reports of her breaking up with dancer boyfriend Jared Murillo, Ashley Tisdale reportedly has found a new love in her life. The identity of her alleged new lover hasn’t been disclosed though.

Radar Online, which breaks the news, claims in a report on its site that Ashley was seen last week at the hot club h.wood with a mysterious man, “acting very NON Disney” and “dancing sexily around” the guy. The publication, moreover, reports that the 23-year-old actress-singer even gave the man a lap dance before then sitting on his lap. Staying most of the night together, Ashley and the man reportedly left the club together.

Ashley’s outing with the mysterious man occurred before reports of her split from Jared were exposed by the media. At time of writing, there hasn’t been a single comment made by Ashley concerning Radar Online’s report about her new man.

Ashley Tisdale and Jared Murillo, who is a back up dancer, began dating in March 2007. Late last week, US Weekly exclusively reported that both of them have called it quits. “They have not been dating for awhile now. They just grew apart, but are remaining friends,” a source told the publication of the pair’s not-yet-confirmed break-up.
