Articles labeled: miley cyrus

See if you can follow this one: Miley Cyrus, whose real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus, plays the character Hannah Montana, who is really Miley Stewart — also played by Cyrus — in disguise.

Well, Ms. Cyrus is taking one part out of that confusing equation — she has filed papers in a Los Angeles court legally changing her name to Miley Ray Cyrus. (OK, also changing her middle name to match her dad’s is creeping us out a little.)

The 15-year-old singer and TV star is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, who filed the papers last Friday with wife Leticia. Her father writes in the filing that the request was “to make her commonly used name the same as her legal name.”

The name-change request was reported by the celebrity Web site TMZ.com.

Miley Cyrus has said her father gave her the nickname “Smiley Miley” as a baby because of her sunny disposition. On the Disney Channel tween hit “Hannah Montana,” she plays a teen who hides her singing stardom.

Wow, the press is really reaching to dig up dirt on Miley Cyrus now. Apparently Ms. Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray, are seen riding in the back seat of a Range Rover in her Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert movie. And get this — they weren’t wearing seat belts!! For shame! Forty lashes for the Cyrus family. While of course we are strong advocates for wearing seat belts, but is this really something to freak out about? Does anyone think the screaming tweens in the audience even noticed?

Billy Ray Cyrus says he and his daughter, the “Hannah Montana” actress Miley Cyrus, simply forgot to buckle up for one of their scenes in their new hit movie.

“We got caught up in the moment of filming, and we made a mistake and forgot to buckle our seat belts,” the country music star said Wednesday on People magazine’s Web site. “Seat belt safety is extremely important.”

Don Mays, the director of product safety at Consumers Union, which publishes Yonkers-based Consumer Reports, said Wednesday, “We applaud the Cyrus family for recognizing that wearing seat belts in rear seats is essential.”

Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus is bigger than Jesus.

She is taking over the world, one tween at a time and wearing parents pocketbooks out.

We saw the concert movie over the weekend and we have to say, that is one savvy 15 year old. She knows how to work it. We also used to think her father, Billy Ray Cyrus was a dumb lug, but now we think he’s some sort of Svengali or something!

On Friday, theaters nationwide premiered “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert,” a 3-D film version of the sellout tour. Tickets for the film remain in short supply. (In fact, the film was originally supposed to run for just one week, but demand — the film debuted No. 1 at the box office despite premiering in just one-third the theaters as No. 2 “The Eye” — has prompted theaters to keep it for a second week, through Valentine’s Day.)

Clearly the “Hannah Montana” brand — which started as a Disney TV series but has branched out into multiplatinum albums and stage shows — hasn’t reached saturation point.

Shock! Dismay! Scandal!

To help speed the transition from Hannah to Miley, there is a production element during the performance of “We Got the Party” incorporating a body double for Miley. After Hannah has completed the featured verse on the duet with the Jonas Brothers, a body double appears approximately 1 - 2 minutes prior to the end of the song in order to allow Miley to remove the Hannah wig and costume and transform into Miley for her solo set. Other than during this very brief transitional moment in the show, Miley performs live during the entirety of both the Hannah and Miley segments of the concert.

Miley Cyrus, AKA “Hannah Montana” turns 15 and the only thing she wants is family time, in Nashville. (Why do I get the feeling that wish was rehearsed by her handlers?)

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — Miley Cyrus celebrated turning 15 Friday with more than 15,000 hometown friends, who serenaded her with “Happy Birthday” toward the end of her concert, complete with pyrotechnic displays and a cake delivered onstage.

“I’ll tell you guys that my main wish when my parents asked me, ‘Miley, what do you want for your 15th birthday?’, the only thing that I had to say was, ‘I want to be here at home with Nashville and all of you guys,’ ” the star of the hit Disney TV show “Hannah Montana” told the crowd, according to People.com.

And if you are gullible enough to believe that headline, then I need to also warn you those emails from Nigerian princes aren’t real, either.

An obviously doctored scan from J-14 magazine is flying around the internet, the text of which has Miley Cyrus admitting that she is pregnant.

“Yes, sadly it’s true.” ‘Miley supposedly confirmed the pregnancy rumors during a J-14 interview. “I’m going to take good care of my baby. I’ve already gained 7 pounds. I was in real shock when it happened accidentally. I went a little too far. I’m sorry to all of my fans.’”

“While Miley is still planning on going on tour for her new solo cd, she’s currently filming the series finale of ‘Hannah Montana’. Even though she’s keeping hush about who’s the father. Miley’s parents are very disappointed in her: ‘Whatever’s meant to happen will happen. I guess it was meant to be this way.”

And apparently people are jumping all over this rumor like crazy. Really, have you guys not learned by now to not believe everything you read on the web? Sheesh. Billy Ray Cyrus was interviewed recently, and he revealed that Miley and her “boyfriend”, Nick Jonas had only been on group dates. Hannah Montana is Disney’s most successful TV franchise ever, if for some reason Ms. Cyrus did get knocked up is it really plausible that she would reveal it herself to some teeny bopper magazine?

Let’s think things through before everyone starts besmirching a young girl’s name, shall we?
