In her first regular broadcast series gig, actress-singer Ashley Tisdale has signed on to co-star on the CW pilot "Hellcats."

"Hellcats," which is executive produced by "Smallville" star Tom Welling, centers on Marti (Aly Michalka), a college girl from the wrong side of the tracks who, after losing her scholarship because of budget cutbacks and her mother's (Gail O'Grady) chronic irresponsibility, joins the Hellcats, the college's competitive cheerleading team.

"High School Musical" alumna Tisdale will play Sierra, the peppy and fiercely intense captain of the Hellcats who, after an initial clash with Marti, her new roommate, realizes that she just might be the godsend the Hellcats need to win the championship.

Like Michalka, who starred on Disney Channel's "Phil of the Future," Tisdale has also become a star on Disney Channel.

In addition to her role as Sharpay Evans in the "HSM" franchise, she also co-starred on the channel's comedy "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and voiced a character on "Phineas and Ferb."

On broadcast TV, she did an arc on the CBS sitcom "Still Standing."

Great!

I'm so happy for my girl

I didn't expect her to return to TV but this could end up being a good thing. She'll be exposed to a more mature auidence each week.

I just hope this doesn't end up like Corbin's 'The Beautiful Life' which was also on the CW.

That show sounds generic... as do most.

I'm disappointed.

I was hoping for a movie or something...

I mean, I don't even think it will do good at all.

cookie~monster

man, her movie offers must have really sucked...

I also wasn't expecting her to go back to tv so soon.

but in the end, it might be good for Ashley...

her star has kind of faded and this would be a way for her to get some of it back...plus she might even get better movie offers if this show does well...

plus I was really worried about her career wise...she hasn't filmed a movie since HSM3 and I don't think she can get one out in 2010 unless they really rush her holdiay movie...this move kind of brings her back some, people will start talking about her a lot more
