miley cyrus 3You know, I always knew Miley Cyrus was a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but this latest move marks her as either abysmally stupid or the single ballsiest player in Hollywood.

Seriously.  Stones like CANNONBALLS.  And I’m thoroughly aware she’s a chick–it’s a metaphor.

Anyway, check out what she had to say about it:

“I’ve never seen [Twilight], and nor will I ever. I don’t believe in it—I don’t believe in it. I don’t like vampires, I don’t like any of the stuff, like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I’m watching my TV at night. I feel like it’s seriously, like, people really like get into it maybe because it’s like people always fall in love with the characters I don’t like it, I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts, any of it.”

Hmm…now, why would a tween pop icon deliberately, suicidally, denounce the hottest book / movie property for the tween market?  There are several possibilities.

1. Miley is genuinely outraged as a good Christian and is denouncing those Satanic vampire movies. Yeah, I didn’t really buy that one either–because where was she before now?  But it’s a possibility, and anyone giving her the benefit of the doubt has to include that.

2. Miley is genuinely outraged that Twilight is cutting into her profits.  Much more possible.

3. Miley is feigning outrage to stir the pot and get attention because her standard practice of alerting the media to where she’ll be jogging in a bikini top and getting upset when they show up isn’t working any more. Again, even more likely.

4. Miley is too stupid to live.  She doesn’t even realize that she and Twilight share so many fans it’s ludicrous, and to try and get between them and their other love is just, as said above, abysmally stupid.

Which of these is it?  I can’t say.  But it’s pretty likely to be one of them!

The movie follows a troubled teenager (Miley Cyrus), and her estranged father (Greg Kinnear), as they reconnect with one another through music during a summer in a quiet Southern beach town.

Kelly Preston and Liam Hemsworth also star in the film. The Last Song is Sparks’ first screenplay to be brought to film as well as Julie Anne Robinson’s feature film directorial debut.

I like the feel of the trailer and the acting lookssuperb!  You can’t go wrong with Kinnear and Preston.

 

Check out who Miley Cyrus picks as her favorite Jonas Brother and her reaction to Kanye West and how she would have handled it if she had been in Taylor Swift’s position.

Miley Cyrus is still hooked to Disney and I don’t blame her either because Disney has acquired screen rights to the young adult novel “Wings.”  Disney has plans to develop the bestselling Aprilynne Pike story as a star vehicle formileycyrus Miley Cyrus.

Cyrus will play Laurel, a 15-year-old who grows up sheltered and home-schooled in a small town. Adjusting to a big high school is difficult, and her suspicion that she’s not like the other kids becomes a reality when she sprouts a pair of wings and learns that she’s a fairy.

“Wings” hit the bookshelves in May of this year,  the first book of a planned four-book series.

Miley Cyrus will be in good company with Kelly Preston and Greg Kinnear , who have joined Disney’s The Last Song, the adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel. Sparks wrote the script based on the novel specifically as a star vehicle for Cyrus.

Kinnear and Preston play the parents of Cyrus’ character, a rebellious teen sent to spend the summer with her estranged father. He tries to reconnect with her through the one thing they have in common, of course, music.

Julie Anne Robinson is currently directing the movie that opens January 8, 2010.

imgec793c2dzik0zj Moving on from being an expendable, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth has been cast as Miley Cyrus’ love interest in The Last Song for Disney Pictures.

The film is based on Nicholas Sparks’ book; he is writing the film adaptation as well, with Cyrus in mind as the female lead. It tells the story of a rebellious teenager who is forced to spend the summer with the father who left her years earlier. Hemsworth is set to play a member of the cool crowd who Cyrus falls for.

Truly no surprises here for Fast & Furious took the Weekly Box Office. The movie is high-octane all the way. Hannah Montana: The Movie may scream with girls of all ages and out maneuver the car flick, but I am too uncertain to make a point. I saw Hannah Montana tonight; it’s a movie that any Miley Cyrus fan will love with lots laughs.  My daughter adored the story and music of Hannah Montana. Will it beat Fast & Furious at the box office? That’s a tough question to answer.

tn_hannah_montana_posterFor all Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana fans, this show by Disney is hitting the big screens this April 10. Among the stars lined up to appear include: Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Margo Martindale, Jason Earles, Peter Gunn, Melora Hardin, Mitchel Musso, Lucas Till, Barry Bostwick, Moises Arias, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Vanessa Williams, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Walt Disney Pictures takes the Disney Channel phenom to the big screen in a feature film extravaganza. Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) struggles to juggle school, friends and her secret pop-star persona; when Hannah Montana’s soaring popularity threatens to take over her life—she just might let it. So her father (Billy Ray Cyrus) takes the teen home to Crowley Corners, Tenn., for a dose of reality, kicking off an adventure filled with the kind of fun, laughter and romance even Hannah Montana couldn’t imagine.

miley-cyrus The Hannah Montana star is getting ready to sing The Last Song, as Variety reports that Julie Anne Robinson (Weeds) will make her feature directing debut on the Miley Cyrus-led project.

Written by Nicolas Sparks, the film will see Cyrus play a rebellious teenager sent to spend the summer with her estranged father.

Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot are onboard as producers. Shooting will start this June.

Kelly Blatz

After big names like Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan, don’t be surprised if the next star is a Blatz! Well from all indications, Kelly Blatz is being built up as the next star for Walt Disney. Quickly creating buzz, the California native comes out of the hit-making machine that catapulted Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers and the High School Musical cast to fame and stardom.

If all goes as planned, the Walt Disney Company will package 21 year old Kelly Blatz into a marketing machine that extends across the company’s many platforms, from film and television to merchandise and music.

Today he can be seen playing the title role on the new network’s flagship series Aaron Stone. A former Starbucks barista, Blatz also has a leading part in a much larger role: to attract male tweens to a network tailored to their tastes.

Until February’s XD launch, there was a relative shortage of programming designed specifically for the 18 million male tween viewers in the USA. It’s a powerful piece of the younger population to not fully attract: Internationally, the age group, usually defined as kids 6 to 14, injects an estimated $50 billion into the economy.

Later this year, Disney XD will serve up still more tween boy talent. The 16-year-old newcomers Hutch Dano and Adam Hicks star in a documentary-style comedy, Zeke & Luther. The pair will play best friends who have set their sights on becoming the world’s best skateboarders.
