Ashley Tisdale is a long way from her High School Musical days. 

The Disney Channel star has not only graduated to the big screen—see her lead role in last month's Scary Movie 5—but she also just made Maxim's annual Hot 100 list, coming in seventh place.

Not too shabby, if you ask her.

"I just found out I am No. 7, and number seven is my lucky number," the 27-year-old Tisdale tells E! News exclusively at last night's Heineken Star Bottle—The Arrival event in New York City.

"I am freaked out and just blown away. I feel like this put a lot of pressure on me to always look good now. I am so excited!"

When asked how she stays so fit, the actress gives most of the credit to her personal trainer and notes she maintains a balanced diet.

"I keep up with eating pretty healthy during the week, and I always have my cheat weekends," she says. "I always take time to work out and at least do a little cardio and weights every day."

And Tisdale remains busier than ever.

In terms of what projects she's got in the pipeline this year, the hard-working actress-producer reveals her production company, Blondie Girl Production, has a Disney Channel movie called Cloud Nine coming out in the fall.

Ashley's also teaming up with former High School Musical costar Vanessa Hudgens for an animation project.
