Ashley Tisdale Shops with Mom, Talks “Picture This!”

Looking as if she could use a Jared Murillo pick-me-up, a sullenly sweet Ashley Tisdale was spotted out hand-in-hand with her mother Lisa on Saturday (July 12) - venturing about Beverly Hills.

Following a morning stop at Chris McMillan hair salon, the Tisdale ladies headed on over to Barneys New York, browsing the popular department store before opting for a few items.

Meanwhile, Ashley recently took a moment to speak with the people over at TV Guide, talking about her career and her new made-for-tv movie, Picture This!, which premieres on Sunday (July 13) at 8 pm ET.

When asked if there were any growing pains as her career took off with the success of High School Musical, Ashley replied: “There are so many trust issues playing out in the movie business, it seems that would be tough to navigate. My parents are really supportive. They obviously wanted me to have a very normal childhood. And that’s why I worked at a clothing store, because they wanted me to understand the value of a dollar, and how hard it was.”

Describing challenges she faced in filming Picture This!, the 22-year-old Disney starlet told: “Anytime you have a kissing scene with someone it is very awkward. And he’s in a speedo, and you’re in a lifeguard suit — it’s embarrassing and awkward, and you just meet the person, so it’s weird. But I’m always up for a challenge. The most challenging was the prosthetics [in the mall scene], I had an allergic reaction to the prosthetics. The stuff they use to put it on the skin made me itch.”
