Miley Voted Worst Influence
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Miley Cyrus has been Disney’s most bankable superstar since the debut of “Hannah Montana,” but today she received a dubious “honor.” The teen phenom was voted worst celebrity influence of 2009 by AOL’s tween website JSYK.com (Just So You Know). Coming in behind Miley were pop princess Britney Spears and rude rapper Kanye West.
Yeah, Miley’s been ragged on for dressing too sexy and dating an older male model, but she hasn’t been caught drinking at Hollywood hotspots or sneaking out of motels in the early morning. So why the diss? JSYK.com editor Stephanie Cohen, theorized to Reuters, “I think Miley is in an interesting space where she is trying to graduate from being ‘Hannah Montana’ and a Disney channel celebrity and coming into her own and having a career beyond Disney. I think her fans still want her to be the sweet Hannah Montana and she is trying to age up…Parents are definitely resisting it.”
Those fans and parents are just going to have to face the fact that Miley’s growing up. She’ll be 17 next month—they can’t expect her to be a little girl forever!

Miley Gets Her “Wings”
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
As teen sensation Miley Cyrus outgrows her role as “Hannah Montana,” Disney keeps looking for ways to get more mileage out of their biggest moneymaker.
Variety reports the Mouse House has purchased screen rights to Aprilynne Pike’s bestselling young adult novel “Wings,” and will do a screen adaption starring Miley Cyrus. The Disney starlet will play a sheltered teen who discovers she’s a fairy when a pair of wings begin sprouting from her back.
Given the current mania for vampires, ghouls and other supernatural creatures, this film could play well with the teen movie audience—and help launch Miley into a career beyond “Hannah Montana.”

Swine Flu Stops JoBros Shows
Thursday, May 14th, 2009
Nothing can stop the Jonas Brothers from entertaining their legion of fans—except a nasty epidemic.
The Disney pop stars were scheduled to do two concerts in Mexico this weekend, but they’ve been postponed to July 31 due to concerns about the swine flu. E! News quoted this statement from the website of Arena Monterrey. “We know the situation is stabilizing and that many fans travel long distances to live the experience of seeing a Jonas Brothers concert. That is why we hope that your experience and your enjoyment of the concert will be as pleasant as possible.”
I guess Disney doesn’t want to be responsible for what might happen if you pack thousands of screaming tweens into an arena to share each others germs.
