Ashley Tisdale is kicking off the new year by burying her modified nose in work.

Revealing an even darker ‘do, the 23-year-old actress visited a Los Angeles office building today where she headed to a series of auditions.

So, what’s in the future for Miss Tisdale? She will soon hit the S.S. Tipton’s deck as she reprises her role as the outspoken Maddie Fitzpatrick on The Suite Life on Deck, formerly known as The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

In the episode entitled ‘Maddie on Deck’, Maddie will be seen visiting Zack, Cody and London in Europe and capturing the heart of 8-years-old prince Jeffy of Lichtenstamp who wants her hand in marriage. The story goes on with a catch that if Maddie refuses the prince’s request, she will be imprisoned and S.S. Tipton will not be permitted to leave Lichtenstamp.

Will Ashley’s character marry the boy prince? Or will she forever be condemned to reside on the fictitious isle of Lichtenstamp? Find out when the show airs January 16 on the Disney Channel.
