Tisdale attended Sunday's Los Angeles Dodgers-San Diego Padres game at Dodger Stadium with her boyfriend and other friends and family. She enjoyed watching the Dodgers win the game 7-3 from the Dugout Club.
After the game Ashley tweeted about the game and how much she loves Dodger dogs. She wrote: “Dodgers game was soooo much fun! I LOVE dodger dogs…..yum!”
And Ashley wasn't the only celebrity at Dodger stadium this past weekend. American Idol judge Randy Jackson threw out the ceremonial first pitch on Saturday before the Dodgers played the San Diego Padres.
Jackson sat in the Dugout Club with friends and family for the big night. The Dodgers won the game, 2-1, in extra innings.
Christian Slater was also at the game on Saturday night, sitting in the Baseline Box Section.
Want to do some celeb spotting? Slumdog Millionaire star Anil Kapoor will throw the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium tonight, May 4th, before the Dodgers take on the Arizona Diamondbacks at 7:10 p.m. Happy celeb hunting!

They grew up in the slums of Mumbai, and one lucky break got them a trip to Los Angeles, a walk down the most glamorous red carpet, and a trip to Disneyland.
After a whirlwind trip to Hollywood, 10 year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and his nine-year-old co-star Rubina Ali returned to Mumbai as movie stars only to be depressed about their current living situations.
"I don't want to sleep on the floor anymore. I want a proper bed and live where the air does not smell of poo. I have seen what it is like in America. Here, there is garbage everywhere, people get angry, swear and shout. I have realized how bad life is here. I just want to get out," Rubina declared when she returned.
Hollyscoop caught up with Anil Kapoor from the Oscar winning movie to get his thoughts on the how the success of the movie will impact the young stars.
"I spoke to all the parents over there, I told them they shouldn’t focus on getting the children more roles, but focus on education instead," Kapoor told Hollyscoop during an exclusive one-on-one interview at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
"If they do more and more films as child actors, they become slightly lost," adding that he "only did one film as a child, but fortunately it didn’t become released."
But he confessed that he wouldn't be surprised if after they finish their education, they make a return to the big screen.
"I wouldn’t be surprised if during the 100th anniversary of the Oscars, they pick up an award for Best Actor or Best Actress," Anil told Hollyscoop.
In response to the reports that Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, who plays the youngest version of the main character's brother Salim, got slapped by his father for being “too jet lagged” to work, Anil said:
"Sometimes there is a lot of speculation and sometimes there are things that are really blown out of proportion. I don’t believe everything I read, but I’ll see it with my own eyes soon. I’m going to send a good press release [to the states] to clear things up."
While the child stars are having a difficult time readjusting to life in the slums, government aides have stepped in provide proper housing for Mumbai's newest stars.
"I think the government has really given them a lot of respect, love and recognition," said Kapoor. "Two of them are getting new houses. Everyone is getting a lot as far as education is concerned too. They'll be well taken care of," Anil assures Slumdog fans, "trust me!"
While Anil doesn't believe that Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and Rubina Ali should go back into acting, he would love to see them make a cameo on Who Wants to be a Millionaire: Slumdog edition.
Ideally, he insists, he would want "Frieda Pinto in the hot seat," and he thinks she should be able to "call the kids" as her lifeline. "I think it'll be more exciting," he joked. “Don’t you think?”

Anil attended a private party at Beso in Hollywood last night honoring Salma Hayek. And partygoers and media outlets were all buzzing about the star, and greeted him with open arms.
Hollyscoop caught up with the actor to get his thoughts on the possibility of Dev and Danny making a special appearance on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire.'
When asked if he would want to host the 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' Slumdog edition show, he said he would like to "take on the role as host and have Freida Pinto in the hot seat."
In regards to other hosting duties, he said he wanted to host a type of show that had never been done before, "something different," he explained.
Dev Patel and Slumdog director Danny Boyle are already trying to sync up their schedules so they can participate in the hit show.
“Filming of the special depends on when both are available, as they are in huge demand following their Oscar success. But we hope it will happen later this year," said a source.
"To have Dev back in the Millionaire hot-seat would be brilliant, and would do a lot for the charity.”
“Danny and Dev would play together, as with all our celebrity specials, but filming depends on their availability," added the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? producer Celador.
So far the plan is to have Dev in the hot seat and have Freida as his lifeline, which would mimic the hit movie.
Sounds like a brilliant idea to us, especially since all the money will go to the children’s charity Railway Children, which helps children living on the streets. And having Anil host the program would be the cherry on the sundae!
