Last week, High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale was sent reeling by a vicious and false internet rumor claiming she was dying from AIDS. In this week’s issue of Star — on newsstands now — Ashley’s mother talks about how her daughter is fighting back.

It all began on June 5 when blogs began picking up an unsourced “news story” that Ashley, 22, had been diagnosed with the HIV virus, possibly acquired from “contaminated equipment” used during her Nov. 30 nose job. And the hoax didn’t stop there. Soon, new reports claimed she’d developed AIDS and had only six months to live. Her rep soon shot down the story — telling Star it was “completely false” — but the damage was done and Ashley and her family are devastated.

“My daughter is healthy and just fine — but my husband and I just don’t know why anyone would spread such a rumor,” Ashley’s mom, Lisa Tisdale, 52, told Star at the family home in Toluca Lake, Calif. “And what really upsets me is that anyone can write anything, and it ends up on the Internet. It’s so irresponsible; so many people will just assume it’s a fact.”

High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale is finding herself on the defensive again after rumors surfaced last week that she had more plastic surgery.

“People are saying I had another nose job and I did not. That’s ridiculous,” Tisdale tells People exclusively. “I was away in New Zealand filming a movie (They Came From Upstairs) and so people think I went away to have more work done. But I didn’t.”

Tisdale, 22, had a nose job in last November to correct a deviated septum and to smooth out two bumps from when she fractured her nose as a teen. The singer/actress was slammed by critics, saying that she didn’t have to change the look of her nose in order to fix her septum.

“[Tabloids] have doctors talk about what they think I did with my surgery, but they did not examine me,” Tisdale says. “They don’t know what I have inside my nose.”

“It’s very irresponsible for a medical professional to comment on someone whom they have not examined,” notes Tisdale’s rep, Scott Appel.

Rumors also recently surfaced that Tisdale, who is in Utah to film High School Musical 3 had a breast augmentation.

“Look at me,” she says, laughing. “Does it look like it to you? No! It’s ridiculous. I’m not for plastic surgery. I’m not going to get another surgery. I can promise you that.”

High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale is seen shopping with her miniature dog for some pet accessories and also a new phone. She bumped into some young fans that were keen to meet her and her dog.
