I Just want to remind you that Wednesday night, Miley Cyrus, star of “Hannah Montana” will be on TV.
Miley will be on “Idol Gives Back”, a fundraising benefit show to raise money for people in the U.S.
who need some help.

The show was taped Sunday night and Miley sang two of her songs.
She also asked for fans to lend a helping hand to the underprivileged children in the American heartland.

Here’s some more of what she said, “”My parents are from Kentucky so I’ve seen [children in need] my whole life.
I never got a chance to go there and really show the world what’s there though — that’s what the difference is.
I think so many people go, well, this is America, that doesn’t exist. But it does exist. It’s something that gets overlooked.”

Miley supports charities to help those in need overseas, and told the audience, “There’s something you can do right here.
You don’t have to travel all around the world to make a difference. You can do something in your own town, your own backyard.”

Funny thing though, at the taping, she said she’s never even watched “American Idol”.

You can see this show and Miley Cyrus on Wednesday night on FOX.
Check your TV Guide or your local paper for the correct time in your area.

My newest information on the new Hannah Montana movie is that filming is supposed to begin in May and not April 12th.

There was an open casting call today in Memphis, Tennessee for extras for the movie.
An open casting call is a major request for anyone that wants to try and be in the movie as an “extra”.
An “extra” is someone who is not one of the main characters of the movie.

Anyway, thousands of kids, mostly girls, lined up for 12 hours or more just to turn in a picture of themselves
and a contact information form. It was estimated that there were around 6,000 hopeful kids.

The lucky ones will get to be in the Hannah Montana movie with Miley Cyrus!
They may even get to be called back for more filming during the summer.

Not only will the movie be filmed in Memphis and Los Angeles, but now I
hear they will also be filming part of it in Colombia, South America.

I’ve got a new newsflash for you about the Hannah Montana concert tour movie starring
Miley Cyrus that’s going to be released August 19, 2008.

According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), through Disney, this movie will be the first high-definition
Blu-ray release that can be viewed in 3-D. Disney said that viewers will be able to see it in either 2-D or 3-D.
You’ll have to have 3-D glasses, which hopefully will be supplied with the DVD.

A regular, non-3-D DVD package is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, April 8th.

You can probably buy it at Wal-Mart.

Guess what Miley Cyrus did last night? Miss Miley Cyrus won two trophies at Saturday night’s ‘Kids Choice Awards’ show! She won one for favorite female singer and one for favorite TV actress. She missed out on a third trophy for favorite TV show when the show, “Drake and Josh” won that prize.

Miley’s TV show, “Hannah Montana” was up for that award too but it wasn’t meant to be.

Miley looked great in a black dress that had silver spangles on it. When she came up to accept one of her awards she thanked her mom, dad, manager, agent and her “lord and savior Jesus Christ.”

Then she rocked the crowd of some 10,000 screaming, rocking fans, mostly preteens and teens when she did a high-energy performance of her smash-hit song, “GNO-Girls Night Out.” I’ll try and get a video of the performance as soon as possible. It was funny-the camera crew was filming her on stage when she charged right through them, scattering them like bowling pins as she went right out into the audience singing as she went.

This was the 21st Annual Kids Choice Awards and was held in the UCLA basketball auditorium, Pauley Pavillion with Jack Black as the host. The voting was done at the Nickelodeon website where some 88 million ballots were cast for this show! That was a new all-time voting record and beat last year’s record of 40 million by more than double.

Other award winners were Jason Lee, winning the favorite movie award with “Alvin and the Chipmunks”, Cameron Diaz winning the “Wanna Be” award, Ryan Seacrest picked up the reality show award for American Idol, Eddie Murphy won the favorite voice award for his voice in “Shrek the Third” and The Jonas Brothers won the favorite music group award.

As I already mentioned, the show “Drake and Josh” won the favorite TV show award in a big upset vote over “Hannah Montana”. Drake Bell also won a second award for favorite TV actor.

And last but not least, the Naked Brothers Band did a live performance of one of the songs from the upcoming CD, “I Don’t Want To Go To School.”

Well, congratulations are in order for both Miley Cyrus and Disney’s “Hannah Montana!”
Way to go girls! I’m proud of you!

MY LIFE IS HANNAHTASTIC!

The real Hannah Montana in her own words!

Meet Miley Cyrus: the teen sensation who has taken the world not just by storm but by a Force 10 hurricane.

As her Disney alter ego Hannah Montana, Miley is a 21st Century icon for young girls. She’s a TV idol, movie star, and a double pop phenomenon - releasing hit records and sell-out concerts as Hannah Montana AND as herself.

All that, and Miley has only just turned 15.

This month she is also set to become a household name with every mum, dad and grandparent as she hits cinema screens with her groundbreaking 3D film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert.

Now, in the first of our amazing three-week exclusive specials, here’s Miley on fame, music, her famous dad and cheap shoes…

Q Miley, your life is a bit of a fairytale. What is it like to be one of the most popular teenagers on the planet?

A It’s like a dream come true. I’ve always loved singing, acting and dancing. With Hannah Montana I get to do it all, everything I love. I’ve got the best job in the world.

Q Your dad is Billy Ray Cyrus, known in the UK for his 1990s tune Achy Breaky Heart. Does it annoy you some people will think that helped you get the part?

A No. I auditioned forever. At first Disney said I was too small and too young. I was 11. Anyway I went back a year later when they still hadn’t found anybody and I got the part.

After that dad went for the role of my on-screen dad. I had to audition HIM which was really weird.

Q The show is a massive hit, the soundtrack went quadruple-platinum and the tour sold out in minutes. Why is Hannah Montana so popular?

A i think it’s because the kids can relate to it. It’s not just a programme about Hannah Montana the pop star but also about the normal schoolgirl underneath.

Q The movie that hits our cinema screens on March 14 is a 3D film of your sold-out Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds concert.

Why did you decide to do that?

A It was mostly because we sold out of tickets for the concerts and people couldn’t come to the show. Making the film 3D makes it better than being in the front row. You can reach out and feel like you can touch my hand, right there and then in front of you. It’s so fun.

When I saw the movie it was like I was at my own concert, which was wild.

Q You sing half the concert as your TV show persona Hannah Montana and half as yourself, Miley Cyrus. Has it helped people see you as a performer in your own right?

A Yeah. It was a really good way of doing that. I got to go out in front of 20,000 people every night and show who I

really am.

Q You are not just a teen star but an entertainment juggernaut. How do you keep any sort of normal life?

A i just do normal things. I still have school for three hours every day. Then instead of soccer after school or cheerleading practice, I go do a concert.

Q We hear you are not just a superstar but also a bit of a genius! Is this true?

A Well, I’m supposed to be in the 9th grade but I’m doing 10th and 11th grade work and I’m looking at things from all these colleges already.

My teacher travels with me all the time.

Q Is it difficult finding true friends now you are famous?

A I’d love to have closer friends, people to talk to. I lost a couple of friends last year. I do what I do and they do what they do. But I think just because the world changes around us, we do not have to change inside.

Q You earned around Û3.5million last year, and are one of the richest under-18s in the world. Is it tempting to splash the cash?

A Under American law 15 per cent of my earnings go into trust so I have no choice but to save. However, I do love to shop - though I don’t always go for clothes that are the most expensive. It doesn’t matter how much something costs. I got Û6 shoes (about £3) and I was like, “Yeah”.

Q What else would you like to buy?

A i turn 16 in November which is when you can get a driving licence in the States. I would love a 1950s Corvette. Black with three white stripes, black interior, red rear-view mirror and red stitching on the seats. With my initials on it.

Q At 15, you hosted the 3D movie premiere. What was that like?

A It’s the craziest thing to be at your own premiere. I’m always walking down other people’s red carpets. Then I realised, “Hold on a minute.This in MY carpet”.

Q You are still very young to get all this fame. Are you worried it might affect you?

A My mom taught me that the most important thing is staying true to yourself.

Q Britney Spears’s sister Jamie Lynn, 16, is pregnant despite being on children’s show Zoey 101. Other former child stars like Lindsay Lohan have gone off the rails. Does that put pressure on you to set a good example?

A It does, but those people’s actions don’t have anything to do with me. You just have your own heart and you have your own soul to kind of help you through life.

I’m friends with Jamie Lynne. She’s excited about the baby, so I’m proud of her.

Q You were born in Nashville, Tennessee and brought up a Christian. Does your faith help you stay grounded?

A Yes. I feel that’s kind of why I’m in Hollywood - to be like a light, a testimony to say God can take someone from Nashville and make me this, but it’s His will that made this happen.

Whenever I go on tour I take a travel Bible. My mom also prints out verses and makes little scrapbooks for me.

Q Are your mum Tish and your dad Ray quite protective?

A For sure. My mom is more strict than my dad. I was also grounded a while ago for being disrespectful.

Q The big question: What about boys? Is there someone special in your life?

A No, not right now. There’s no time.

Q You write most of your own songs. Who are your musical influences?

A i like Beyonce and Faith Hill. But my all-time favourite is Dolly Parton who is in the 3D movie.

Q Do you ever wish that you could just be a regular 15-year-old instead of a teen phenomenon?

A i do sometimes but then again it definitely is fun.

Q Finally, tell me a secret, please Miley.

A This is gross, but I’m addicted to ketchup. I will drink ketchup. It’s my favourite thing in the world. Also, I auditioned my dad Billy Ray Cyrus for a role in the movie.

Ok Hannah Montana fans, there you have it, the best Miley Cyrus interview in the world!
I want to give my deepest thanks to online magazine, “The People” in England for this wonderful interview!
You can find more wonderful stories from them at http://www.People.co.uk
Here’s a link to the original interview: http://www.people.co.uk/news/tm_headline=my-life-is-hannhtastic&method=full&objectid=20337276&siteid=93463-name_page.html

Now it’s time to say goodbye, or as they say in England,

Cheers

There was a fun interview with the cast of the Hannah Montana show
added onto one of their DVD’s I rented the other night.

Her real-life family was also interviewed and it was a lot of fun hearing
about the real Miley Cyrus!

First the cast interview: They are all really close and like to play practical
jokes on each other. They said they’re as close off-stage as they are on-stage,
like brothers & sisters.

This was a “behind-the-scenes” picture-taking & interview session with
Hannah Montana, Jason Earles, Mitchell Russo & Emily Osment.

The real-life family interview featured Miley, her Mom, Tish Cyrus, her big sister,
Brandi Cyrus, her little sis, Noah Cyrus and her little brother, Braison Cyrus.
They were just sitting around talking about what it was like growing up in Nashville,
Tennessee and then moving to Los Angeles.

I didn’t know this before but Miley Cyrus used to be a cheerleader in Tennessee.
It’s probably old news to most of you but I bet some of you didn’t know that.

“Nobody knows what’s around the corner, but if you keep yourself out of
the game for fear of losing, there is no way on this earth you’re going to win.”

“The only way to not be in that game is to take yourself out of the game.”

“If you feel like the chance of something wonderful being right around
the corner are only only one in a million, why can’t you be that one?”

“Live your dreams but never forget who your friends & family are!”

You can watch Miley Cyrus on FOX TV April 9, 2008 when she will participate in
“Idol Gives Back”, a benefit telethon that will benefit US charities that deliver
support (medical care, groceries and literacy programs) to underprivileged
children around the country. Funds will also go to organizations in Africa to
benefit health and education programs there and to help battle poverty.

In addition to Miley, this year’s star-studded event will feature Brad Pitt,
U2’s Bono, Fergie, John Legend, and Mariah Carey.
More artists are expected to be announced at a later date.

This will be the second time this wonderful event has taken place. Last year
$76 million was raised to make it the largest charitable TV event in the world!

This program is the brainchild of “American Idol” creator and executive producer
Simon Fuller.

Last year’s show featured a telethon portion and a musical portion, so it’s
a pretty good bet that Miley will be performing at least one of her songs.

The only question is will she be performing as Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus?

Yes Hannah Montana fans, there is a new Hannah Montana Movie coming to a theatre near you!
Filming for it begins in May of 2008 in Los Angeles and Tennessee.

The movie sounds an awfully lot like the Disney Channel TV show. Here’s the plot:
Miley Stewart might seem like an average girl but she isn’t.
She moved from Tennessee to Malibu and is adapting to a new lifestyle.
Miley has a huge secret only known by her dad and manager, Robbie Ray,
her brother, Jackson, and her two best friends, Lilly and Oliver.
Miley’s huge secret is that she leads a double life as the famous pop singer,
Hannah Montana along with her friend Lilly who also has a double life as Lola, Hannah’s friend.

The movie will star Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana and Miley Stewart,
Billy Ray Cyrus as Robbie Stewart, Emily Osment as Lilly Truscott,
Jason Earles as Jackson Steward and Mitchel as Oliver Oken.

How would you like a chance to be in this movie?
I just happen to have an insider’s tip for you!

If you live anywhere near Los Angeles or Tennessee and you’re
interested in being in this feature film, send your resume to:

Carol Goldwasser
Goldwasser/Meltzer Casting
5800 West Sunset Blvd.
Building 11, Suite 201
Hollywood, CA 90028

Go ahead, give it your best shot!
What have you got to lose?
Just imagine, you could be in the new Hannah Montana movie!

Good luck!

Miley Cyrus, also known as that adorable TV star, movie star, pop star and now live-concert star,
Hannah Montana, is getting a bad rap and I don’t like it!

Miley is being compared to Britney Spears on one blog as “the next most likely teen star to go Britney Spears on us.”
She’s not going to “go Britney” on us, no way! I’ll bet money on it! She’s got a good head on her shoulders
and she uses it for good, not bad. She knows exactly what she is doing and she’s doing it well.

There’s a site I saw yesterday that I won’t even mention the name of that is dedicated to putting
Hannah Montana down, making fun of her, hating her and even wanting her dead! Come on now!
Wanting her dead? She’s just a teenage popstar having a great time with her life!
Why don’t you guys & girls just let her be and let her do her thing?
What’s it to you and what’s your problem?

So some pictures of her in her underwear, in a bathing suit, in a bathtub with two other girls,
eating a pie of red licorice with her girlfriend (without using hands) are going around the internet.
So what I ask again? She’s having fun and she’s only 15 years old. They’re not “bad” pics and she’s not a “bad” girl.
Those pictures were “released” for pubcity and marketing and to cause a stir and to create a buzz, and it worked!

She’s a “Disney Girl”, a star of a Disney TV show, and a lot more than that. She has so much going for her
right now that she’s not about to mess up a good thing. She’s not that stupid.

This girl, Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana, hottest teenage popstar in the world, knows a good thing when she sees one,
and she sees one every time she looks in the mirror.

Then there’s her Dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. He’s been around show business long enough to know exactly what he’s doing
with not only his own career but with Miley’s career as well. Miley has been around show business her whole life
and her Dad has coached her in every aspect of it. He’s not about to let her mess up her career.

Let’s give them both a break, ok?
Neither Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana are going to turn out like Britney Spears.
Just keep watching her and keep coming back to this blog
because I have a LOT more information, pictures, videos, news and music to share with you.

Bye
