Ashley Tisdale

This young hottie has been doing the regular rounds of television since 2003, featuring in many shows such as The Hughleys, Smart Guy, 7th Heaven, Boston Public and Bette, her eventually limelight came as the role of candy-counter girl Maddie Fitzpatrick in the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. She later went on to carve a music career out of it and has acted in many movies as well!

Zac Efron

This kid has been the face of Disney and it's money minting business for a while now. Although Zac started his career by doing hordes of roles in series like ER, Firefly, The Guardian, etc. his true break came with Disney's High School Musical. Initially he had low expectations from the movie that ultimately catapulted him to instant international fame. If that wasn't enough, he went on to win Teen Choice Award in the Breakout Star and the TV — Choice Chemistry with his co-star Vanessa Hudgens. He also went ahead and starred in the following two High School Musical sequels.

Of course, now that he has matured, he has taken up some challenging and serious roles and has been faring well for himself.

Demi Lovato

Trust us, she's only 20 years old, and she has already made it to the top of the American Pop charts churning one chartbuster after another, and where did all this start? Television, as always. She did small cameos in shows like Prison Break, etc. but her fling with Disney happened in 2007 with As the Bell Rings, and since then she was seen as a regular in Sonny with Chance and their television flick Camp Rock. After that, she did some more work with Disney till she exploded in the music scene and made a name for herself! From what we see, she's got a lot of time to up her game!

Emily Osment

Yes, she's 20 as well, and yes, she's already made a milion-dollar career before her graduation! It all started off for her when she starred in Spy Kids and Spy Kids 2. And her stint with Disney was in Hannah Montana. A show that went on to become a big hit and even spanned a movie! If that wasn't enough, she like many others stepped into her singing shoes and set sail into Pop-dom. As of today, she perfectly juggles her acting and singing career, and ofcourse churns millions of dollars out of it.

Fergie

Stacy Ann Ferguson or Fergie as we all know her has been the face of Black Eyed Peasand probably one of the vital reasons why we listen to them. Other than that, she has made a name for herself as a solo singer and reached new heights with her charisma. But it all started way back in 1985 when she was appointed as the voiceover artist in Peanuts! From 1984 to 1989, she starred on the TV show Kids Incorporated and became a household name, only to go ahead and make it larger with BEP!

Selena Gomez

The hottie who's been caught by the Beiber fever, and has been his arm candy for a while is a well known Disney campist. Starring at an early age in Barney and Friends. Gomez went on to work in Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie and Princess Protection Program that brought her on the centre-stage! After her fling with television, she went ahead, and just like many other Disney-ites, got into singing to form Selena Gomez And The Scene.

Hilary Duff

There was a time when people would actually think of her as Lizzie McGuire, the role which she essayed in the series with the same name. Established as a teen idol, Duff reprised that role in The Lizzie McGuire Movie and ventured into motion pictures with her early films Agent Cody Banks, Cheaper by the Dozen, A Cinderella Story and Cheaper by the Dozen 2. Not to forget, she too has a music career just like the rest of the bunch!

Vanessa Hudgens

Oddly enough, she started off as a singer in musical theatre, and later went on to act in her most famous flick, The High School Musical. Starring next to Zac Efron, they went on to do several sequels, live High School Musical concert tours, and hordes of other things! As of today, she has shed the shy cutesy High School image and has moved to greener pastures just like the rest of her comrades!

Justin Timberlake

Coincidently, the most talented bunch of chaps acted, sang and grew up together as the cast of The Mickey Mouse Club. Who all were they? His future girlfriend and pop superstar Britney Spears, future tourmate Christina Aguilera, future bandmate JC Chasez, and future movie actor Ryan Gosling. Yes, that's how awesome the The Mickey Mouse Club was. Later, he went on to form N'Sync, carve a solo singing career and successful star in blockbuster movies!

Lindsay Lohan

Probably one of the very few stars that Disney isn't really proud of churning out, LiLo has definitely let down the world despite her innumerable attempts at getting her life right, all thanks to her drug addiction. Her first stint with Disney was in the Parent Trap in 1998, followed by Freaky Friday in 2005 and Herbie: Fully Loaded, and of course with the box-office success came the fame and the trauma that soon ensued. Her career went straight downhill and there was no turning back. We do really hope she gets herself back on track soon enough.

Miley Cyrus

Cyrus can easily be crowned as the girl every teen girl would want to be. Known for her role of Hannah Montana in Hannah Montana, she was born with the talent of singing and acting, and she did both effortlessly! Auditioned at a very young age of 11, she became a hit through the series and grew up to pursue both the facets of her career, and she has been doing them really well!

[rishabhd]

Raven

Everyone remembers That's So Raven and the loud cocky psychic Raven from the show who's real name is, coincidently, Raven-Symoné Christina Pearman. Albeit, her case is a little different. She started her acting career at the age of three and started her singing career at the age of five! Talk about an early start.

Ryan Gosling

Mickey Mouse Club, again? Yes, go back and read about Justin Timberlake. He was pals with this guy as a kid, and we know that awesomeness was at it's adolescence. He went on to do a many television series, and unlike his mates, he decided to pursue acting and now we see him as the cold and suave crazy driver from Drive or the manipulative campaign manager in Ides of March among other stellar roles.

Britney Spears

Yet another Mickey Mouse Clubber, she was with the rest of the brady bunch who went on to become big in today's world. And of course, just like everyone else, she did it with music. Either it's genetics, or perfect timing, or some hidden charm that the Mickey Mouse Club beholds which renders every cast into a superstar. Awesome!

[rishabhd]

Christina Aguilera

The Jackpot. We've only seen her swinging seductively and captivating us with her voice, and nothing more, yet Aguilera has been a part of the television world since a while. Especially when she was seen as a part of the famous Mickey Mouse Club! Since then, she went on to follow her singing career and became an international heartthrob in a heartbeat.
