Jaunty hat? Check! Rolling bag and chic carry-on? Check! Lap dog? Rapidly escaping the grasp of "High School Musical" star Ashley Tisdale as she landed at LAX this weekend.
Unlike the two films before it, "High School Musical: Senior Year" will be completely inescapable when it hits theaters in October. (Could this be the first-ever instance of a movie going from TV to the big screen, and not the other way around?)
That suitcase is going to look plenty beat up by the time Tisdale, who plays bad girl Sharpay, is finished promoting Disney's tween juggernaut.
OMG! Guess who popped up on "Idol Gives Back" last night? Our old "High School Musical" buddies Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale, who sent their charitable best from--oh boy--the Utah set of "High School Musical 3: Senior Year."
We've already tracked the location of the fictional East High School, home of the Wildcats and Zac Efron's spray tan. It figures that the squeaky-clean Utah would be the site of Disney's mega-franchise. We're heading out there right now to get the chance to carry Lucas Grabeel's Uggs.
It's off to Auckland for Ashley Tisdale, the villainous diva of the "High School Musical" movies, where she will be filming her new adventure/fantasy movie "They Came from Upstairs." In the film, a group of kids must defend their house from aliens; here, the house in question is a classic Auckland manor recently pressed into service as a backpackers' hostel.
Tisdale recently made an appearance at the SAG Awards with fellow young actresses Amanda Bynes and Brittany Snow. According to "HSM" fan sites, she will start working on "High School Musical 3" right after her New Zealand adventures.
Until then, maybe Ashley and her fans can fill us in on the plastic surgery travel scene in NZ!
It had to be Ashley Tisdale at LAX. While Paris' luggage made us laugh, it took a photo shoot with this High School Musical star to put us in touch with our inner tween.
Ashley wasn't the only Disney girl snapped in an airport this year. Vanessa Hudgensshowed up at LAX this month, toting a teddy bear and tons of luggage. Christina Aguilera and Cameron Diaz both went further afield, dropping in at Seoul's Incheon Airport this summer. But for nailing that "airport comfortable" look--and reminding us that some people are too young to have seen Planes, Trains and Automobiles--Tisdale takes this year's top honors.
We still aren't quite sure what Ashley Tisdale does. What is her day job? However, we know she is from Jersey, know she is part of the summer of kayaking, and now we know a bit about her airport style.
Ashley recently checked into LAX and posed long enough for an airport photo shoot. Wonder if the security line takes even longer when photogs are snapping shots of celebrities in line -- more than likely. At this point wearing sunglasses inside an airport screams take my picture.
It is officially the summer of the kayak. This week Ashley Tisdale -- no idea what she is famous for -- was repeatedly photographed somewhat successfully attempting to take a kayak in Malibu, California. However, the kayak tipping point (no pun intended) was reached long before Ashley's Malibu adventure.
Why is there such a run on these unsinkable boats this summer? First, as we told you last month, kayaking is one of the few activities you can actually do for free in Manhattan, and no cost tends to make things trendy in NYC.
On the left coast, kayak tours come with a price. Pacific Coast Kayaking offers Malibu kayaking with a brunch for $45.00 -- how decadent. The trip is a noncommittal 10 AM - 2 PM, which makes it even more attractive to slacker travelers.
Want more kayaks-are-hot evidence? If you are watching Shark Week on the Discovery channel this week, and you should be, you may have noticed the clear kayak the host used in order to spot sharks while above water. Very cool.
