Scott Speer

There are certain things that all true Americans love: Hot dogs. Paying taxes. Spending the Fourth of July on a beach.

Over the weekend, Ashley Tisdale and boyfriend Scott Speer demonstrated their patriotism by catching a few rays and going for a couple dips in Malibu.

While the High School Musical star and her video-directing man clearly have a passion for music in common, there's one significant way in which they differ: Speer is a giant!

Check out their height discrepencies in the photo below:

Tisdale and Speer were first spotted together in mid-April, a few weeks after Ashley ended her relationship with Jared Murillo.

Ashley Tisdale and Scott Speer, her new boyfriend, were seen holding on to one another as they left the set of It’s On with Alexa Chung in New York City Tuesday.

Her "hot, good friend," who moved in just days after she announced her breakup with Jared Murillo, has been seen regularly with the 'Tis of late. Cute pair, no?

Here's Ashley, with Starbucks and Scott Speer in hand ...

Ashley Tisdale beau du jour Scott Speer certainly looks the part.

Earlier, the 23-year-old singer performed her new edgy rock track, "It's Alright, It's OK" on ABC's Good Morning America. She sounded pretty decent!

Ashley Tisdale and her oversized boyfriend, Scott Speer, decided to avoid paparazzi and go for a walk yesterday.

The two now admit that they are dating, but rumors have been flying since they first met when he was directing her music videos.

Ashley looks hot like usual, while Scott looks like he has a great personality. Other than the awkward size difference, the couple looks happy, as they carry their purses down the street, hand in hand.

In all seriousness, we wish Tisdale and her freakishly large boyfriend nothing but the best.

Look at them go...

If Ashley Tisdale wanted to keep her relationship with Scott Speer quiet, she shouldn't have referred to him as a "hot friend" last week.

She also should have been more careful when swapping spit with the music video director.

The High School Musical star was spotted playing tonsil hockey with her new boyfriend last night, as the pair just couldn't keep their hands off each other inside a parked car.

Will Ashley Tisdale finally admit that Scott Speer is more than just a "hot, good friend?"

The rumored new couple was spotted out in Malibu on Saturday afternoon, clearly enjoying one another as much as the sunshine.

Speer has directed Tisdale  in four of her music videos: “He Said She Said,” “Suddenly,” “Not Like That,” and the upcoming “It’s Alright, It’s OK," the first single from Ashley’s new album.

When asked about the young singer/actress, Speer said:

“Ashley is an exceptionally talented artist and a great person to work with."

We presume he forgot to add ... in bed!

Ashley Tisdale has a new single... and maybe a new boyfriend.

The singer has released a song titled "It's Alright, It's OK." She says the tune is based on a boyfriend who cheated on her, though she's quick to point out that the bastard in question is not ex Jared Murillo.

But enough about the past. When asked by E!'s Daily 10 if she's dating Scott Speer - the man that directed the video for her aforementioned single - Tisdale replied:

"I'm not in a relationship. I'm single…but he's a good friend of mine." Then, she couldn't help but add:

"He's a really hot, good friend of mine... we have a really good creative relationship."

Dirty minds, have fun twisting that quote around!

A cutie like Ashley Tisdale doesn't remain single for long.

Days after her break-up with Jared Murillo was made public, sources have confirmed to Perez Hilton that the actress is dating director Scott Speer.

"Ashley is dating [music video director] Scott Speer," an insider said.

You better treat Ashley Tisdale well, Scott Speer. We're keeping our eyes on you.

Speer directed a three-part series for the singer. Included in it were videos for the single "He Said She Said", "Not Like That" and "Suddenly."

Witnesses say the new couple partied at Hollywood club H-Wood this over the weekend. They didn't leave until the Lindsay Lohan-like hour of 3 a.m.
