Singer/actress Miley Cyrus has denied her famous father Billy Ray Cyrus helped her to land a role in her hit Disney TV show Hannah Montana – insisting she was the one to win the country star a part in the program. The 15-year-old shot to global fame when she was hired to play the closet pop star in the show – and she has gone on to sell out stadiums across the U.S. as part of her Best of Both Worlds tour.
But the teenager is sure her dad, who also plays her parent on-screen, did not influence the program-makers’ decision to hire her. She says, “I auditioned forever. At first Disney said I was too small and too young. I was 11. Anyway, I went back a year later and when they still hadn’t found anybody and I got the part. After that my dad went for the role of my on-screen dad. I had to audition him which was really weird.”

Miley Cyrus is calling on teenage fans to be her friend, because her overprotective parents veto all the girl pals she brings home. The 15-year-old Hannah Montana star claims she is lonely, because father Billy Ray and mother Tish have banned her from spending time with many of her friends.
She says, “Some people think you have more privileges than other teenagers because of what you do. And that’s not it at all. It’s actually the opposite. They’re protective for sure. My mom is more strict than my dad. You want to keep your closed circle of friends. And sometimes my mom is saying, ‘I have a bad vibe about this person. She needs to hang out with you when I’m around just to keep you safe.’ I need more friends. Its kind of like my quest right now just to have more true friends.”

In a posting on their web site Monday, Consumer Reports calls out teen pop sensation Miley Cyrus for some unsafe behavior in her new film, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour. The behavior in question? No, it’s not smoking or drinking or smashing up a hotel room. Instead, the consumer watchdog is upset at the 15-year-old for not buckling up.
The item singles out one scene in the movie where Miley and her dad, country star Billy Ray Cyrus, are riding in the backseat of a Range Rover and neither are wearing seatbelts.
But before you laugh this off, Consumer Reports does have some numbers on their side, stating that 55% of passenger vehicle fatalities in 2006 were folks who hadn’t buckled up. They also point out that this number increases to 65% for fatalities in Miley’s 13-to-15-year-old age group.
“It seems to us that Miley, her father, and Disney had a perfect opportunity to help influence teens and counteract—rather than encourage—this trend,” reads the article. “Then again, as Hannah herself sings, ‘Everybody makes mistakes.’”

Miley Cyrus is crushing the box office competition! She beat out Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria Parker at the box office.
Despite opening on just 683 screens, her concert flick Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour raked in $29 million, nabbing the No. 1 spot at the box office.
By comparison, Jessica Alba’s horror flick The Eye, which opened on four times as many screens, netted $13 million. Eva Longoria Parker’s comedy Over Her Dead Body opened on less than 2,000 theaters, earning a paltry $4.6 million.
“Miley is the hottest entertainer in America,” says Us movie critic, Thelma Adams. “She’s got music, movie and TV appeal — she’s a triple threat!”
Meanwhile, Longoria Parker “is still seen as a Desperate Housewife,” Adams says. “She cannot sell a movie, and doesn’t have a film career yet.”
And despite Alba’s recent misfires — her last bomb Good Luck Chuck only made about $35 million — Adams says, “I don’t think you can judge Jessica Alba by this. She’s very charming and appeals both to men and women. She just has to pick good projects.”
