Image and Personal life

Tisdale underwent a rhinoplasty procedure on November 30, 2007. According to Tisdale, this was done for health-related reasons and not out of a belief in plastic surgery; her "septum was 80 percent deviated" and she had "two small fractures on [her] nose", and this was interfering with her breathing. She spoke to People magazine about the surgery, saying that it was important to her to be honest with her fans.[39]

On January 2007, Tisdale was declared the second Hottest Woman of Pop/R&B by Blender Magazine, which stated, "Tisdale has a gift. Not an angelic voice or a dazzling personality, but an even rarer commodity: millions of "pre-sold" tweens eager to buy her debut album!".[40] In an interview to the People, Tisdale confirmed that she had been dating her High School Musical dancer Jared Murillo since March 2007.[41] In March 2007, Tisdale told Blender that she was drug and alcohol-free, and went on to add, "my mom really instilled confidence in me, so I'm not somebody who'd be under peer pressure".[42] She was later voted as number 10 in Maxim's 2008 Hot 100 list.[43] On June 11, 2008, Tisdale was ranked at #94 on Forbes Celebrity 100 list.[44]
