(SEASON 5 SONS OF ANARCHY - It looks though Disney protege Ashley Tisdale is looking to shed her squeaky-clean image - starting with a role on blood and lust bikie drama Sons Of Anarchy. The former High School Musical star has been cast in the forthcoming Season 5 as Emma Jean, a high-priced escort. Also riding into Charming will be Lost's Harold Perrineau as new villain Damon Pope, with Dexter's Billy Brown as his right-hand man. Jimmy Smits also stars as a gang member who might just replace Clay (Ron Pearlman) as the father figure in Jax's (Charlie Hunnam) life.)
