Disney stars are invading singing competition shows. First it was Christina Aguilera for The Voice. Then Simon Cowell recruited Britney Spears to be one of the new judges on his X Factor show for $15 million. Now, Cowell is on the hunt for another Disney star – Miley Cyrus.
For Miley Cyrus fans, it is common knowledge that the young pop star gave up tweeting about two years ago–oddly, that’s around the time that most of us even discovered what “tweeting” is. Either way, as she continues to work on her post-”Hannah Montana” image, according to Yahoo!, Cyrus has returned to Twitter because she claims she wants to follow Charlie Sheen’s account.
Oh, don’t we all.
With the apparently family-destroying days of “Hanna Montana” behind her, pop star Miley Cyrus isn’t ready to leave the limelight just yet. Yahoo! reports that she’ll be hosting “Saturday Night Live” this Saturday, March 5; clearly she’s trying to branch out, since the show airs at 11:30 ET, which is long past the bedtime of her former target audience.
After shedding her “Hannah Montana” persona and thereby asserting her status as someone who needs to be taken seriously, y’all, it is clear that Miley Cyrus wants to build her career and explore demographics other than the “middle-school student” bracket that she’s generally been targetting.
While most of us thought that meant she would focus on her music, maybe she’s also looking to develop a stronger acting career. ABC reports that she will be the guest host on “Saturday Night Live” on March 5, although we have to wonder if that’s a show her fan base will be watching.
It had to happen sometime, as sad as it is. (Well, we’re assuming someone had to be sad about it.) Miley Cyrus recently turned 18, and as an adult, she’s, uh, ready to mature and grow as an artist. As such, last night marked the final episode of “Hannah Montana“, the TV show that confused out-of-touch pop culture fans who could never figure out if Montana was Cyrus’ alter ego, or vice versa.
Worry no longer. She’s just Miley Cyrus from now on. Maybe that’s still good reason to worry…
A couple days ago, we gave you our take on Britney Spears‘ new single, “Hold It Against Me”. Long story short: we weren’t all that impressed. However, according to DimeWars.com, there are quite a few listeners who disagree with us, notably one Miley Cyrus, who has decided to lend a hand to a fellow pop icon by campaigning for the song’s success.
Fantastic.
The mad dash to get Miley Cyrus past all that Disney hooey and into the pop culture role of ‘sexy starlet’ continues with a new action-comedy. Cyrus, with Kelly Osbourne along for the ride, are filming a sorority comedy in New Orleans.
The movie So Undercover is scheduled for release in 2011 and centers on a private detective hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority.
Miley Cyrus is making headlines today. No, her acting career isn’t moving forward. No, she didn’t get caught drinking at some bar, but yes, she has a new music video and parents are saying it’s too racy! It really isn’t though, it’s kind-of boring actually. Check out what the angry parents have to say…
Pop singer/ harbinger of the apocalypse Miley Cyrus released a new video this week for her single “Can’t Be Tamed,” and it seems like nothing less than a declaration of independence, sexuality, and adulthood, a la Britney Spears’ “I’m A Slave 4 U,” in which Spears writhed around with a cadre of sweaty backup dancers and appeared on TV lip-synching with a snake. Miley, however, opted to ditch the artful subtlety of Spears’ snakes ‘n orgies approach, appearing in the new video as a half-woman/ half-bird creature on display in a zoo that occasionally also features—you guessed it—a cadre of backup dancers. It’s all very slickly done, and the video has a stylish, professional sheen to it. It’s also kind of dumb.
