She's been traveling the globe on a promotional effort, and last night (June 24) Ashley Tisdale arrived at Los Angeles International Airport with current boyfriend, music video director Scott Speer.

Covering up from awaiting paaprazzi, the "High School Musical" starlet got shy upon arrival - staying close to Speer while using him and her cell phone as a shield from the cameras.

As for her upcoming album, "Guilty Pleasure," Ashley recently told press: I think this album has a sense of very strong survival in every song, and that's something I'm attracted to. I'm a strong person. I'm also very sassy and a little bit angsty sometimes. I try to show a different side of me that people haven’t seen. I think people really see me as Sharpay, from High School Musical, which is great -- but there is a different side of Ashley, and that's really coming across on the album. I am growing up. That's what I feel the album is really about. I'm not young anymore. I’m 23 turning 24, and it's a reflection of where I am in my life right now."

Talking about her career and life in general, Tizzie adds, "I hope to inspire people, influence people. I'm living out my dreams and I love what I do. I'm also very normal -- I went to a regular school, I worked in clothing stores, so I just really want to inspire people and say, like, anything can happen. Just keep going. I never knew I'd be doing an album someday. Luckily, High School Musical opened all those doors for us, and I'm really lucky and blessed for that."
