Ashley Tisdale Said Her 4-Year-Old Daughter's Intense 'High School Musical' Obsession Is Taking Over Her Life, And I'm Loving Every Detail
Everyone remembers their first time watching Sharpay Evans bop to the top on the East High stage, and for this young High School Musical fan, that pivotal life experience is hitting a lot closer to home. Having played Sharpay in HSM, Maddie in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and Candace in Phineas and Ferb, Ashley Tisdale is nothing short of a Disney legend. And even after all these years, it sounds like her fanbase is continuing to grow. For context, Ashley shares two daughters with her husband, Christopher French, and in a new TikTok, she revealed that their oldest girl, four-year-old Jupiter, has developed a 'sweet' but rather intense obsession with all three of the HSM movies, which — not to make you feel old — came out in 2006, 2007, and 2008. 'I don't know what kind of karma this is, but Jupiter saw my niece in High School Musical the play last weekend,' Ashley began, stating that her daughter had watched the movies before, but only now is she truly obsessed. 'I think seeing my niece in the play, play me, has just changed her.' As per Jupiter's request, Ashley said they've been rewatching 'all three movies' and blasting the soundtrack on a regular basis. 'She will not stop listening to the music,' she said, laughing. 'It's playing in the house right now. When I'm on walks with her, she asks for me to play it, when I'm in the car, she asks for me to play it. Specifically, High School Musical 2.' 'It's really sweet,' Ashley told fans, 'but after like, a good week straight of listening to the music again, it's like, OK, we're good. We don't need to watch this again.' Related: Donald Trump's Apparent Baldness Is Going Viral In A New Photo Hilariously, Jupiter's favorite song from the franchise is apparently 'Humuhumunukunukuapua'a' from High School Musical 2, which, as true experts will know, is one of the lesser-known tracks, because it was actually a deleted scene. 'I hate that song,' Ashley joked. I don't know about you, but if my mom starred in the most iconic movie musicals ever made (argue with yourself), I'd sure want the world to know about it — and it sounds like Jupiter shares the same view. 'She screams out in public, 'I'm Sharpay's baby!'' Ashley said, cringing at herself. 'Like I can't. I just feel so embarrassed when I'm walking into a store, and she's like, 'We're all in this together,' And I'm like, 'Oh, my God.'' Despite making me feel suuuuper old, this is genuinely adorable, and in the comments section, fans are praising little Jupiter for having incredible taste and using her nepotism correctly. Related: 28 Celeb Facts That Feel Like They're Made Up But Are Shockingly Real I'm also obsessed with the sheer number of people who have pointed out that Jupiter should consider asking her mom to do some live performances at home. If it were me, I'd be demanding that she get Lucas Grabeel over to recreate the entire 'I Want It All' performance from HSM3. Better yet, why don't you call Zac Efron and get him to sing 'Bet On It' in the backyard? Jupiter, the power is in your hands. You can watch Ashley's full TikTok here.

Hilary Duff omission from Disney Channel AI Mount Rushmore sparks backlash from fans and celebrities
Disney Channel, Lizzie McGuire, Disney Channel controversy, Hilary Duff backlash An AI-generated image shared by Complex Pop Culture featuring a Disney Channel 'Mount Rushmore' sparked backlash online after Hilary Duff was noticeably left out. The viral image, posted on April 17, 2025, featured Raven-Symoné, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Zendaya — all iconic Disney stars — but fans quickly pointed out the omission of Duff, who played a central role in the network's early 2000s success. Raven-Symone. Miley Cyrus. Selena Gomez. Zendaya. Is this the Disney Channel Mount Rushmore? 👀 — Complex Pop Culture (@ComplexPop) April 17, 2025 Many social media users expressed disappointment, arguing that Duff — best known for her breakout role in Lizzie McGuire and the Disney Channel Original Movie Cadet Kelly — was essential to shaping the Disney Channel brand. 'The disrespect of Hilary Duff. SMH,' wrote actor O'Shea Jackson Jr. on X. The disrespect of Hilary Duff. SMH — O'Shea Jackson Jr (@OsheaJacksonJr) April 18, 2025 Some fans suggested the lineup should be revised, with Duff replacing either Gomez or Zendaya. Many described Duff as 'the blueprint' for Disney stardom, given how she paved the way for future stars to transition into mainstream music and film careers. This pains me to say because I love her, but Zendaya does not belong on a Disney Mount Rushmore. Her career really took off when she left Disney. Hilary Duff should absolutely take Zendaya's spot here. Lol — The Third King 👑 (@thirdking0208) April 18, 2025 Hilary duff and Ashley Tisdale deserve. And even the sprouse twins. Zendaya's best and biggest work came after Disney. — honest (@imthehonestboy) April 18, 2025 Beyond Duff, fans also called out the absence of other influential Disney alums, including Cole and Dylan Sprouse (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody), Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical, Phineas & Ferb), Brenda Song, Demi Lovato, and Christy Carlson Romano. Tisdale, in particular, was highlighted for her versatile impact across multiple hit franchises. Even Christy Carlson Romano weighed in, expressing frustration over the continued overlooking of her work as Kim Possible and Ren Stevens. What started as a nostalgic tribute quickly turned into a conversation about legacy and recognition. For many fans, a true Disney Channel 'Mount Rushmore' isn't complete without Hilary Duff — a name synonymous with the network's golden age.

'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody' Turns 20: The Best Classic Disney Channel Shows, Ranked
On this day 20 years ago, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody made its debut, airing its pilot on Disney Channel in March of 2005. Feel old yet? I might be showing my age here, but today's kids will never quite understand how good television used to be! If you grew up in the '90s or 2000s, the Disney Channel was a key part of your childhood. From the iconic bumpers to the unforgettable shows, the golden era of Disney Channel is a nostalgic treasure trove of memories. I mean, who didn't try (and fail) to draw the Disney logo with a glow stick like their favorite stars? Let's take a look back and rank the best classic Disney Channel shows that shaped our childhoods. 12. Hannah Montana (2006 - 2011) Miley Stewart lived the best of both worlds, juggling her secret pop star life with her high school reality. Miley Cyrus became a household name thanks to her role in Hannah Montana, which defined an era for a generation of Disney fans. The show gave us relatable teen struggles paired with glamorous performances and unforgettable songs like 'The Best of Both Worlds.' It taught us all the value of keeping things balanced, though we'll admit, her double life was pretty enviable. 11. Jessie (2011 - 2015) Life in New York City with a group of rich kids and a nanny. Jessie was another fun-filled sitcom on Disney Channel, starring Debby Ryan as Jessie Prescott, a nanny to the four Ross children living in a posh NYC apartment. The show's humor, lovable characters, and the hijinks that ensue with Jessie and the kids made it a go-to for many viewers in the 2010s. 10. Good Luck Charlie (2010 - 2014) A heartwarming family show with relatable moments. With a focus on the Duncan family and their hilarious everyday chaos, Good Luck Charlie offered a wholesome, family-friendly experience. Watching Teddy Duncan record videos for her little sister Charlie as a guide for the future hit home for many viewers. It was one of the last great family-centric Disney Channel shows before things started to shift in the late 2010s. 9. K.C. Undercover (2015 - 2018) A teenager turned secret agent, juggling high school life and spy missions. Zendaya starred as K.C. Cooper, a high schooler who secretly works as a spy. This show blended action, adventure, and teen drama, creating a dynamic that captivated viewers. K.C. juggled life as a regular teenager while saving the world, and it offered fun storylines while also teaching valuable lessons about bravery and responsibility. 8. Lizzie McGuire (2001 - 2004) The quintessential coming-of-age show for the early 2000s. Before Hannah Montana or That's So Raven, Lizzie McGuire was one of Disney Channel's best-loved shows. Hillary Duff made Lizzie a relatable and awkward teen who tried to navigate the ups and downs of middle school, friendships, and family life. Her inner voice, often represented as a little animated character, gave us all the hilarious commentary we needed. 7. That's So Raven (2003 - 2007) Who didn't want to be able to predict the future? Starring Raven-Symoné, That's So Raven was an absolute game-changer for Disney Channel. Raven's psychic abilities mixed with her hilarious antics made for one of the most memorable characters in Disney history. It was a rare show that mixed fantasy with real-life issues, creating a perfect formula for laughs and life lessons. 6. Kim Possible (2002 - 2007) She's got the best sidekick and a heart of gold. Kim Possible was a groundbreaking animated show that brought together action and humor in a way that resonated with both kids and adults. The show centered on Kim, a high schooler who could save the world while acing her homework. Along with her lovable sidekick Ron Stoppable and his pet naked mole rat Rufus, Kim became an iconic Disney Channel heroine. 5. The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (2005 - 2008) The hotel life was the best life. Two mischievous twins, played by Dylan and Cole Sprouse, took over the Tipton Hotel, and viewers couldn't get enough. The Suite Life became one of the most iconic Disney shows of all time, with its hilarious characters and timeless themes. From the chaotic adventures of Zack and Cody to the unforgettable one-liners of Mr. Moseby, this show remains a fan favorite and is still beloved today. 4. Wizards of Waverly Place (2007 - 2012) Who wouldn't want to have magical powers? Starring Selena Gomez, Wizards of Waverly Place blended magic, family dynamics, and plenty of humor. The Russo family's journey in balancing their magical abilities with everyday life made for a fun and relatable show. Selena Gomez's breakout role as Alex Russo became a defining part of Disney Channel's magic during the late 2000s. 3. Even Stevens (2000 - 2003) Shia LaBeouf at his finest. Before he became a Hollywood star, Shia LaBeouf was Louis Stevens, the charmingly annoying little brother in Even Stevens. The show captured the sibling rivalry and misadventures of Louis and his older sister Ren in a way that resonated with many viewers. Even Stevens had the perfect balance of slapstick humor and heartwarming moments. 2. Phineas and Ferb (2007 - 2015) The endless summer adventures. Phineas and Ferb was one of the most innovative animated series Disney Channel ever aired. The two stepbrothers made each day of their summer vacation an adventure, building everything from roller coasters to time machines. With its catchy songs and memorable characters, it's no wonder this show continued to resonate with fans well beyond its original run. 1. Gravity Falls (2012 - 2016) The show that blends mystery, humor, and heart. This animated show about twins Dipper and Mabel Pines and their mysterious adventures in the small town of Gravity Falls is a masterclass in storytelling. With its witty writing, quirky characters, and unexpected plot twists, Gravity Falls is a show that has maintained a devoted fan base even after its final episode aired.

Brenda Song reveals how fiancé Macaulay Culkin keeps ‘ruining' Home Alone for her
Brenda Song has recalled the first time she rewatched Home Alone with her fiancé Macaulay Culkin. Culkin, who shot to fame for his portrayal of Kevin McAlister in the 1990 holiday classic and its 1992 sequel, and Song, 36, have been dating since 2017. During a recent appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show, Song recounted their first Christmas spent together. 'When we started dating almost eight years ago now, Christmastime came around — and it's a tradition, I've always watched Home Alone every Christmas,' the Suite Life of Zach & Cody alum said. 'He hadn't seen the movie in almost a decade — he didn't want to watch it — and I forced it. I was like, 'We have to.'' She remembered that once the movie began, Culkin 'started telling me all the behind-the-scenes stories. And I was like, 'Stop. Stop. You're ruining it for me.'' 'The movie holds such a special place in obviously so many people's hearts. It's just hard for me, that's all,' she explained. Song also grew up in the business, landing her breakout role in the Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody when she was only 16. However, the two could not have been raised more differently. 'Mac is a very unique human, being like the most famous child actor in the world,' she told Hudson. 'He lived and grew up in hotels.' As a result, she said he had 'never really done laundry.' 'And I was shook-eth!' she exclaimed. 'I have been doing laundry since I was like 10, helping my mom.' Song said that in addition to teaching Culkin how to do laundry, she's also tried to teach him how to drive. 'I took him out to drive in our neighborhood. I was terrified, let me tell you. I'm like this 44-year-old man driving for the first time; I was like nope. I gotta hire someone to do that,' she quipped. The couple first met in 2014 at the house of actor Seth Green following the cancelation of Song and Green's short-lived Fox sitcom, Dads. '[Culkin] was trying to be funny about our show being canceled and I was not having it,' Song recalled in her January Cosmopolitan cover story. They eventually reconnected in 2017 while co-starring in Green's comedy-drama, Changeland. They got engaged in January 2022, in between the births of their two sons, Dakota (April 2021) and Carson (December 2022). While they have kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight, save for a few red carpet appearances, Song and their two sons supported Culkin at his Hollywood Walk of Fame star dedication ceremony in December. 'I'd like to thank Brenda. You're absolutely everything. You're my champion. You're the only person happier for me today than I am,' the My Girl actor said in his acceptance speech. 'You're not only the best woman I've ever known, you're the best person I've ever known. 'You've given me just all my purpose, you've given me family. After the birth of our two boys, you've become my three favorite people. I love you so much,' Culkin added.
