Ashley Tisdale gets naked for Allure magazine

Ashley Tisdale's naked photo shoot helped launch Allure's May issue and its iPad debut in a big way Tuesday. The former "High School Musical" actress bared it all for a chance to show the world she's all grown up.

"I'm 25, almost 26, but people think of me as much younger because I look young," the "Hellcats" actress told Allure. "Being in this shoot was me saying, 'I'm not just the young girl everybody thinks I am. I'm actually a woman.'" (Click here to see for yourself).

Tisdale even brought her mom along for the shoot, explaining, "I've always wanted to be sure my parents approve of what I do."

"The Big Bang Theory's" Kaley Cuoco, who also stripped down for the eye-popping app along with Keri Hilson and Bridget Moynahan, didn't take the same approach with her parents. "I have not told my family about this, and I'll tell you why: Until they see the photos, they won't understand. All a mother or father hears is the word 'naked.' When I told my mom about the shoot, I left out the part about taking my clothes off."
