[Brian Damage]

Ashley Tisdale and her production company Blondie Girl Prods. have inked a multiyear producing deal with RelativityReal, the reality/alternative TV arm of Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media.
Deal calls for Tisdale -- who is best known for playing Sharpay Evans in the "High School Musical" films -- to create, develop and exec produce new series for broadcast and cable networks.

RelativityReal CEO Tom Forman called Tisdale, who is also a gold-selling recording artist, "the very definition of a multitalented artist with unique insight into young demographics."

Deal marks the third major overall pact in less than a year for the fledgling RelativityReal. Company teamed with veteran TV exec producers Jay Blumenfield and Anthony Marsh in February and with Wilmer Valderrama in May.

Tisdale and producing partner Jessica Horowitz formed Blondie Girl two years ago and have been targeting family-friendly content both as Tisdale starring vehicles and producing projects.

Tisdale currently voices the character of Candace Flynn animated series "Phineas and Ferb" on Disney XD and Disney Channel. Her previous credits include Disney Channel hit skein "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."

She is repped by CAA and Perlman Management.
