A new experiment in storytelling from executive producer Ashley Tisdale, these specials will feature celebrities picking a member of their inner circle (a trusted friend, family member or close confidant) to tell their real story and to ask the questions. More conversation than interview, it’s an emotionally charged journey where the celebrities let their guards down, open up and have fun with someone from their “inner circle.” From Blondie Girl Productions and Relativity Television.
As previously announced, Ashley Tisdale and Jessica Rhoades production company Blondie Girl Productions teamed up with famous television network E! Entertainment Television for an innovative new interview show titled Inner Circle, a mix of specials featuring celebrities picking a member of their inner circle (a trusted friend, family member or close confidant) to tell their real story and to ask the questions.
A few of our website’s visitors initally thought Ashley’s inner circle member could be BFF Vanessa Hudgens, as they were previously snapped last month shooting a project together, and we can now confirm that they were right! AshleyTisdale.org got official word from RelativityReal that the episode will be “a day in the life of both Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens”.
TV Guide also confirmed the above, stating: "Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale offer a glimpse into their lives and their friendship. Included: Vanessa answers Ashley’s questions about her first kiss and working a stripper pole for a movie role."
“Vanessa & Ashley: Inner Circle” will premiere on Thursday, August 8th at 10:00PM on E!, with re-runs following the same day at 10:30PM and on Friday, August 9th at 3:00PM and 8:00PM. We can’t wait to see episode, and YOU?

Ashley partnered with Frito-Lay North America for the launch of their new product line called Cracker Jack’D. The 27-year-old attended First Time with Cracker Jack’D this afternoon (May 15th) to take part in a special meet and greet, during which she took pics with fans and gave away a few snacks, held at Madison Square Park in New York City, NY.
Ashley recently chatted with Esquire this week, while doing some press in NYC for Cracker Jack’D, and dished on her new challenges and what it was like for her to co-work with Mike Tyson in Scary Movie 5.
Check a few quotes from the interview below!
ESQ: And now you’re similarly jumping from Disney to some more adult roles. AT: It was definitely time for me, because I’m 27 and I feel like my audience has really grown up, too. I mean, the kids that watched High School Musical are all in college now. So this was a way to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone. You always have to push yourself a little bit, right?
ESQ: Absolutely. And for you that means starring in Scary Movie 5, as opposed to just showing up in an ensemble cast. AT: Yeah, it was challenging. I had never been in every single scene before, so it was a lot of work and a lot of hours. And Scary Movie was a different type of comedy than I’m used to. I’ve mostly done sitcoms, so working with David Zucker, who wrote the film and who directed the last two Scary Movies and Airplane and Naked Gun, was a lot of help.
ESQ: And now you’re prepping to reboot Left Behind? AT: Yeah. I loved the script and I read the books, and it just was something different. The film is a little different that the books, just because the books are a little more Biblical, I guess. But the film’s going to be an action drama, which I’ve never really done before, so I thought it would be cool for me to try out.
While promoting Frito-Lay North America‘s new product line Cracker Jack’D in NYC, Ashley got to chat with People on being on the cover of Maxim Magazine and how does she feel posing for sexy photo shoots.
Check some quotes from the interview below!
On what she feels whenever she’s doing a photo shoot:
When I get in front of the camera, I’m always pretty comfortable, so I never freak out. I just want to have fun. I’m just someone who is like, you’ve got to go for it.
Talking about her shooting day for Maxim Magazine:
My mom was actually there on set and she said it was great. What I like about it is it represents who I am. For me, I’m a real big beach person, and I wasn’t in lingerie like they usually do. I was in a bathing suit, so I felt like it represented me really well.
The 28-year-old former High School Musical star got engaged to beau Christopher French in NYC last night, a rep for the actress confirms to E! News.
A source tells E! News that the couple visited the Empire State Building's VIP-only 103rd floor last night. Tisdale and French were all smiles while hugging at the iconic Big Apple location.
"Best night of my life. We're on top of the world," Tisdale tweeted last night.
Today, the blond beauty was spotted wearing two simple bands on her engagement finger while strolling around the streets of NYC with French. In addition to her new bling, a smiley Tisdale sported rolled-up jeans, black sneakers, a black top and necklace for their outing. French donned a similar outfit of black sneaker, jeans and gray and black shirt.
"Excited to run around and have a shopping day in nyc!! Woo hoo," she tweeted.
It actually didn't fit at first so I had to change it a bit.
