Miley Cyrus...fabulous darling! Song bird (literally) knocks 'em dead on "Stars"...

Over at Idol - the producers must have been muttering traitor - because their American Sweetheart jumped ship!

OMG!

Rhyming Simon, shampoo-pushing Ryan, and aw-shucks Ellen (in plaid, no doubt) must have been seething backstage at the Fox sound studios when the dreaded news leaked out.

Miley was unveiling her new persona (and a hot new hit)  on ABC TV's weekly entertainment hit - "Dancing with the stars" - neck-in-neck with Idol's karaoke-style show.

And, what a pretty neck it was tonight.

Ms. Cyrus was all dolled up in a flurry of exotic black feathers, and swept-up do, that caused a fascinated studio audience to edge closer in their seats.

Although flattering, the designer frock, was a bit over the top.

For the most part, that was due to the fact that Ms. Cyrus is a petite chanteuse, who must be careful  that fussy fashion statements don't overwhelm her fragile pretty frame.

For one second, as my trained eye followed her strut across the ABC terrain, the image of old-timer Mae West flashed through my mind.

Like the megastar from Hollywood's golden  days, Miley is in complete control, and keenly aware of the impact she is effecting  in her feminine wake.

For the most part, I found little quarrel with the setting, intriguing routine, or the tune itself.

The beat was toe-tapping - at times slightly vampy - and sure to catch on like wildfire at trendy nightspots around the country - as hip kids rustle  up stylish versions of the line dance once again.

While I would have preferred a bit more space between Miley and her talented back-up dancers - so we could get a better gander at Cyrus in action - that part of the choreography revealed an interesting aspect to her personality.

Obviously, the pretty movie star cum musicial artist, is not afraid to share the spotlight with a deserving few at her own expense.

I admire that!

I also felt Ms. Cyrus was too low on the stage when the musical extravaganza started up, and that it would have behooved her to have started higher-up on a multi-levelled podium.

After the pop singer made her grand entrance (without any visual obstructions) it would have been okay to step down and flow in sync with the others.

While her performance appeared to be a bit forced - nervous Miley? - for the most part it signaled a departure which was promising.

By the way, Miley, there should have been a bit more volume on your mic.

Some reverb may have added  a sound dimension that would have worked particularly well with that tune.

In a nutshell, I am intrigued at the future possibilties, in view of the potential hinted at tonight.

Miley Cyrus...star's credibility problems & The Last Song! Stolen chickens...

 

Miley Cyrus has been making the rounds of talk shows this past week - to tout her new release (The Last Song) - which is being released today (March 31st) in tandem with her feature film release.

After catching a couple of the chats she engaged in with high-profile talk-show hosts over the past week - on the tonight show and the today show respectively - it appears that Ms. Cyrus has a nasty habit of fibbing (embellishing the facts to romanticize her life a tad) or in the conveninet alternative just has a foggy memory!

Maybe, she's just living in a fantasy world, starring a delusional Miley Cyrus?

For example, after a chat with a teen-bopper rag, other media hounds were inclined to spread the juicy scuttlebutt she generated about the casting of current boy-toy Liam Hemsworth  in the lead role opposite Miley.

With a lot of fanfare, she boasted that she gave the nod,  because "he showed he was a gentleman when he opened the door for her one day."

The juicy tidibt triggered a surge in good manners 'round Tinsel Town with a posse of actors keen on currying favor with someone with clout to land 'em a part (even if it meant flirting with a spoiled self-centered star with some kooky notions about life).

And, the presses spilled ink all over kingdom cum - and the internet, too - about the infectious  puppy love blossoming in their midst.

Then, last night, Miley twisted and distorted the facts a bit.

For example, when Jimmy Kimmel attempted to confirm how Liam came to land the romantic lead in the film, she suddenly blurted out that it was her mother who was actually responsible for the casting.

"She had headshots of three actors on the kitchen table.  But, she kept staring at Liam's photograph for hours."

Looks like Mom had the hots for Liam, first.

In fact, Miley confessed she wasn't that keen on him, initially.

Hope they're sharing the spoils of their studly find, at least!!

So much for the fairy tale meeting, and her little white lies, spread out over a week rife with promotional burps.

Needless to say, her credibility was "blown" in this corner of the Universe.

At that juncture in Kimmel's  interview, I found it difficult to take her at her word, when she ran rampant at the frothy mouth about this 'n that throughout the rest of the gab fest.

Did she really steal a few chickens from an unsuspecting farmer in California?

And, if we're to put any stock in what amounts to a tall tale - in my estimation - she would have us believe that her and Dad (Billy Ray Cyrus)  smuggled the chicks into the passenger area of the airplane by simply stretching the truth.

"These are special chickens," they assured the other passengers, who wondered aloud why they weren't below in "cargo" where all of God's other lowly creatures were stowed (cats, dogs).

As to the ratty Willie Nelson Doll she hauled around everywhere when she was a tot?

A fan took some publicity photos for posterity's sake and now they have been rustled up to haunt the young starlett (who must feel like a total fool right about now).

And, how was your day?

Miley needs shower after stink she's caused with media!

Miley Cyrus...in love! "The Last Song " release slated for March 31st...

While my guitar gently weeps!

Miley Cyrus (a trifle subdued)  appeared on the Today Show at the crack of dawn to tout a tune - "The Last Song" - to be released on March 31st in tandem with the release of her new feature film.

In fact, on a couple of occasions when the camera panned to the pretty songbird to promote the upcoming segment, she appeared to be a bit pensive.

Is it possible that the "hot" Disney property was unaware that she was on air?

When the interview got underway, she brightened a tad, but appeared to be holding back.

Perhaps, Ms. Cyrus is not an early riser.

Or, just maybe, a hot new bedmate keeps here awake nights?

Yes, Miley fessed up.

Her new beau - who she met during the throes of auditioning actors (who said the casting couch was dead in Hollywood?) - has captured her heart.

As I reported in a post last week - on the heels of Miley's appearance on Jay Leno's tonight show - the perky actress gushed about her decision to request that handsome Liam Hemsworth play opposite her in the romantic drama.

How did that situation come about?

"He opened the door for me. I thought that was excellent."

Now, a full-blown (!) spring romance is surfacing between-the-sheets.

However, Dad (Billy Ray Cyrus) didn't make the cut.

Greg Kinnear was scooped to play her make-believe father on screen, instead.

Maybe she didn't want the country-rock star spying on her (or getting in the way) now that there is a bit of hanky-panking doing down in her charmed life?

News at 11!

Meanwhile, screenwriter Nicholas Sparks tagged along to disuss his script.

How did the collaboration come to fruition?

"We got together casually at the dinner table. I think it worked out because it wasn't a heavy business thing," Miley explained with a bit of blush cresting on her pretty face.

Nicholas, a beaming pleasant-looking man, chirped that he was so happy to be able to wake up each day and do what he does best.

"The Lord gives us gifts. We need to use and maximum them."

And, he's doing just that.

In a slightly a**-backs approach,  Sparks proceeded to pen a novel after the screenplay was in development at Disney.

I expect there will be prequels, sequels, you name it!

Yes, there may be a lucrative franchise on the horizon - spinning Miley in untold directions - now that Hanna Montana has been axed.

Miley pointed out that the role was a toughie.

"It was a challenge to make her likeable since there are angry confrontations with her parents," she noted in so many words.

Once you catch the flick, Cyrus asserted that filmgoers may be inclined to run out and call individuals in their life that they've pushed away.

"That's how powerful the story is."

Tapping into the voice of a teenage-girl required a lot of concentrated effort she wailed.

I don't know why! 

Miley's just a scant piece of bubblegum away from being a tweenie herself.

The teen-bopper crowd hasn't written her off  - as totally over-the-hill - just yet.

Especially when you consider that Miley just beat out Sandra Bullock at the Kid's Choice Awards in the category for best Actress.

She managed to avoid getting slimed, too.

The universe is no doubt unfolding as it should.

Method acting?

Barack Obama...quote of day! Town Hall meeting on Health Care Insurance...

The Prez rolled up his sleeves and gave 'em the old razzle dazzle!

Shortly after Barack Obama took the podium at a Town Hall meeting in Montana the other day to engage in a lively exchange with the locals on his Health Insurance reform bill, he rolled up his sleeves and got down to the nitty-gritty.

At one point, he used a little levity (in the form of a one-line joke) to break the ice, which gets the nod for quote of the day.

"In Montana you have quite a few bears, moose, and elk. But in Washington, we've got a lot of bull," he quipped to a rapt audience who responded gleefully with a raucous round of applause.

Unfortunately, during the course of the Town Hall meeting, Barack pretty much established that he was mostly responsible for the Bullsh** emanating from the Capitol daily.

City Bulls have bronze balls!

Miley Cyrus...book signing at the Grove! March 7th...

Popular teen beauty - Miley Cyrus - will be alighting in Los Angeles and holding court at a book signing for her new tome "Miles to Go" on Saturday at high noon at Barnes & Noble at the Grove location. (March 7th)

According to handlers, a limited number of wristbands will be distributed to fans, to avoid a frenzied crush!

Starting on Friday, March 6th, the coveted gate-crashing bracelets will be passed out on a first-come first-serve basis.

One catch, though.

Die-hard fans will have to fork over some hard cash for a copy of her new book - "Miles to Go" - to be eligible to stand in a line that will no doubt snake down the courtyard through a hysterical throng of wild-eyed adoring teens.

Ms. Cyrus has been instructed not to affix her Joan Henry to any other books, CDs, DVDs, or memorabilia.

Ah, shucks!

Cyrus's career sky-rocketed with the debut of Disney's - "Hannah Montana" - in which she plays Miley Stewart (aka Hannah Montana, pop chanteuse) - in a role which eerily mirrored her own life.

After her first appearance on the top-rated show, the likable young teen became an overnight sensation.

A CD released a short time later on a major label - featuring eight catchy tunes she performed on "Hannah Montana" - soared on the pop charts for weeks-on-end.

Cyrus's solo music career began with the release of her debut album:

"Meet Miley Cyrus"

Her second album, "Breakout", was also a big hit.

"Breakout" was Cyrus's first album that washed its hands of the Hannah Montana franchise.

One of her solo efforts debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.

"I Thought I Lost You" - which was recorded for the soundtrack of "Bolt" - also landed her a much-coveted Golden Globe nomination.

Amid this flurry of dizzying pop culture expression, the media stood up and took notice, too.

Ms. Cyrus (the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus) was listed as one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2008.

Her earnings are the envy of many.

When Forbes magazine published a list of 100 Celebrities to establish who had pulled down over $25 million in 2008, Ms. Cyrus was ranked at the No. 35 slot.

In recent months, the perky beauty has been allegedly dating underwear model, Justin Gaston.

It appears that the handsome couple are taking it slow.

Sensible gal!

Miley's hottie!
