Who is Ashley Tisdale's inspiration?

"My Best Friend's Wedding was a big movie for me - Julia Roberts is what made me go, 'I want to do movies for sure,'" said Tisdale.

"I grew up in the business since I was three years old so I've always kind of been in front of the camera and grew up in commercials and I knew that I wanted to do it no matter what, I just loved it."

"Twilight" saga star Ashley Greene had an extra bounce in her step Sunday night, when she attended the Teen Choice Awards. For the first time, she had been nominated for something by herself - Choice Fresh Face Female - an award she would take home before the evening was over.

When we caught up with the 22-year-old beauty on the red carpet, she was eager to talk about getting some recognition - and the work in "New Moon" that seems certain to raise her profile even higher.

"[The only thing I've been nominated for until now] is just ensemble," Greene said. "Oh my gosh, it's so cool. I got the phone call, and I was like, 'Are you serious?' It's exciting."

Vanessa Hudgens has revealed what she wants for her 21st birthday - a surprise party thrown by her boyfriend Zac Efron!

The actress says she would love nothing more than having all her friends and family around her on her special day and has been dropping hints to her beau.

"I'll be twenty-one in December. I'm hoping someone will throw me a big party," said Hudgens. "I'm just like 'someone throw me a party' because I haven't had a birthday party since I was like nine years old so I think it's about time."

GMTV presenter Andrew Castle has revealed his 16-year-old daughter "almost died" after taking Tamiflu after being suspected of suffering swine flu.

Former tennis player Andrew was talking to Health Secretary Andy Burnham this morning when he made the alarming revelation.

It comes as calls grow to stop children taking the anti-viral drug because of potentially dangerous side-effects.

Oxford researchers yesterday released a report saying the drug was too strong for kids and could do them more harm than good.

    Not so high school musical

    Nude photos, man when they surface for teeny bopper faves, no good can come from them. Vanessa Hudgens said the nude photo was taken privately. Regardless, it still surfaced and it is scandalous, because she is the pride an joy of two Disney flicks, both high school musicals.

    She is 18 years old, I don't know when the photo(s) were taken, but the fact of the matter is they are now all over the place because people have nothing better to do than to start trouble. I saw the photo, it isn't trashy and it was definitely taken in a private place, unprofessionally. It sucks that someone gave it to the tabloids. I feel bad for her that a private moment in her life has caused such a muck.

    The National Enquirer was the first to report of the photo's existence and it spread like wildfire. It's like Harry Potter all over again...except his wasn't a private matter, he got paid to take his clothes off...um..wait that makes it sound worse.

    Oy vey. People, it's their bodies. As long as they don't strip in front of your kids then why make such a big deal? It isn't until y'all blow it out of proportion that it becomes this atrocious matter anyway!
