'Hellcats': Ashley Tisdale thinks Tom Welling is 'so cute'

At the CW's Upfronts Presentation on May 20, the network announced its official pick-up of "Hellcats," a college cheerleading show in the vein of "Bring it On" and "Fired Up." Zap2it caught up with star Ashley Tisdale on the red carpet to get the details on what to expect from "Hellcats" next fall.Finally, we had to ask about working with the series' super executive producer, "Smallville" star Tom Welling. "It's amazing! I get to look at him every day," she tells us. "He's so cute. I mean, have you seen him?"
In "Hellcats," Tisdale plays Savannah, the captain of the squad. "She's very driven, very focused. Cheerleading's been her whole life." It takes Marty, the latest cheerleading recruit played by Aly Michalka, to draw Savannah out of her shell.
Though the character may sound like a revamped version of Sharpay, the "High School Musical" character Tisdale became famous for, don't expect them to be too similar. "[Savannah's] not a mean girl," Tisdale says. "Sharpay was a mean girl. You think Savannah's going to be mean, but she really actually isn't."
That said, Savannah doesn't necessarily have it all together. "She's just a little bit off," Tisdale says. "She's definitely off. I mean, she's the captain of the cheerleaders. She's a flyer up on the top of the pyramid. You have to be a little bit off to do that."

As much as I like Aly and Ashley I don't see how this show can lost for more than a season.
I hope I'm wrong but I doubt this show will get beyond 5-6 episodes.
Tom welling is hot he needs to be shritless more in smallville. In season 10 i think he should be shritless alot he has such a great bod and he is so hot
Congrats CW!
Now with Hellcats getting greenlit for a CW series run, does this mean Gail O’Grady will now have money and enough fame to stop taking money from nice guys, to only turn and make up stories about being “stalked†or “in fear of her life�
Is Gail O’Grady going to stop using her innocent son as a prop for sick publicity stunts? She has now embarrassed her son’s school by making up a story about Beverly Hills elementary school has stalkers lurking trying to pick up their kindergarten students. Yet she never reported it to the school just to the tabloids.
Wow, Gail must have been in great fear.
What a whack job!
This was all for her and her P.I’s 3 paragraphs of “fame†on the back webpage of a crappy tabloid.
When is the lawsuit by Church going to be filed?
Why didn’t the Beverly Hills Police Dept. arrest Gail O’Grady for filing a false report? When is Gail O’Grady going to fess up, apologize and admit she needs help and is a compulsive liar and con artist?
She posts on her Facebook page Hellcats is “Gail’s pilotâ€â€¦
Really? Really?!.
One or two scenes portraying yourself and its now “your pilotâ€.
Does Kevin and Tom know this?
Gail O’Grady, Get a life, Please Go to Canada and get away from the family.
tom welling is hot i like it when he is shritless. tom welling has such a great nice hot body.
Tom Welling is damn so hot, I wish i were Erica Durance that gets to kiss him all the time.
