Ashley Tisdale to Star in New Project for ABC

Ashley Tisdale the singer and actress best known for her roles in Disney’s High School Musical and Suite Life of Zack & Cody has sold a semi-autobiographical comedy project to ABC that she would star in and co-produce.

Deadline reported that ‘Under Construction’ would follow a young woman who must sacrifice her independence and must move back in with her family while her father helps to renovate her ‘money pit’ home among another things.  There will likely be some silly adult children/parent shenanigans will follow.  David Holden from Accidentally on Purpose will write the script and will help to co-executive-produce.  Warren Littlefield from My Generation will help executive produce.  Recently she was an executive producer and starred and starred in the High School Musical spin off TV movie Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure.  Ashley was also a part of the short lived CW cheerleading series Hellcats.  “Hellcats” was cancelled earlier this year.

Ashley’s production company, Blondie Girl Prods., also has an unscripted series titled “Miss Advised” in the works at Bravo.  Tisdale might just break the Disney girls’ habit of crashing and burning in public.  Disney has produced its share of starlets who have gone on to both fame and infamy; Lindsay Lohan started in the Disney stables and went on to rehab for drug and alcohol problems, and recently Demi Lovato entered rehab for a rumored eating disorder and cutting problem.  What do you think of Ashley heading back to the small screen?
