Miley Cyrus talks 'SNL,' Vanessa Bayer, and mustaches with Jimmy Fallon

Miley CyrusMiley Cyrus is more than a singer/actress/provocateur — she’s also, oddly enough, a mustache enthusiast. Last night, she stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to chat about her upcoming SNL hosting gig, the weirdness of meeting Miley impersonator extraordinaire Vanessa Bayer — “I said, ‘You play me on TV!’ And she said, ‘Yeah, I do.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, well that’s pretty cool.’ And she goes, ‘What?’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God, I sound like you doing me!’” — and her love of upper-lip hair. The girl wears a diamond mustache necklace, people! This strikes me as much weirder behavior for an 18-year-old than letting herself be filmed smoking from a bong… but I guess she’s just being Miley.

Watch the interview for yourself below, then tell us: Are you pumped for Miley to take Manhattan on Saturday night? Do you think she came across well in her Late Night appearance? And if forced to decide, do you prefer a handlebar, a walrus, or a Fu Manchu? READ FULL STORY »

Miley Cyrus talks bong video to 'Marie Claire': 'It was a bad decision.'

The newly 18-year-old Miley Cyrus chatted with Marie Claire magazine, speaking extensively for the first time since her parents announced their intention to divorce. And, for the first time since she was recorded smoking from a bong.

Cyrus was contrite about the videotaped inhaling, which involved the legally-sold herb salvia. When reminded that there are plenty of teenagers out there puffing on more serious fumes, she responded, “But they’re not Miley Cyrus… They’re not role models. So for me it was a bad decision, because of my fans and because of what I stand for.”

But what does she stand for? READ FULL STORY »

'Hannah Montana Forever': Promo for final episode has best freeze frame ever

hannah-montanaHannah Montana concludes its four-season run on the Disney Channel this Sunday, and the promo for the series finale shows Miley (Miley Cyrus) having to make THE BIGGEST DECISION EVER — doing a movie or going to college. I really have no idea which way she’s gonna go. When she flops herself on the couch and says, “I want this part more than anything else in the world,” I’m thinking movie. But then we see what appears to be young co-eds in pajamas at a dorm and I’m thinking college. But then she’s at an airport — movie? Then she looks at a framed graduation photo sitting in a set that looks like it’s been borrowed from a soap opera — movie, but she quits, and then college? What’s your guess? Watch the promo below.  READ FULL STORY »

Justin Bieber, Google king: The most searched terms of 2010

justin-bieberImage Credit: Pamela LittkeyAs 2010 draws to a close, it’s time to turn to the Google Zeitgeist — because we are what we search, no? In addition to searches about major political events and humanitarian crises, there was, of course, the celebrigoogling. This year’s most searched person in the United States: Justin Bieber. Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Lil Wayne, Taylor Swift, Eminem, and Megan Fox rounded out the top 10.

On the film front, Batman and Star Wars were the most searched for movies, which is kind of wild considering neither Batman nor Star Wars movies came out this year. (Of course, we can’t rule out Clone Wars as being responsible for the surge in searches.) Or even last year! But they are pretty awesome. Toy Story 3, Dear John, Tron, Percy Jackson, Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Avatar, and Inception were among the most-searched films as well. READ FULL STORY »

Miley Cyrus turns 18: A birthday stroll through the EW archives

David Gabber/PR Photos

Miley Cyrus turns 18 today, and to celebrate, PopWatch looked back at the EW archives to chart her career — both the highs and the controversies (remember when they were just about the prices scalpers were charging for concert tickets?).

April 2006: EW reviewed the new Disney series Hannah Montana, giving it a C+. “Turns out Saved by the Bell was subtle! Father-daughter team Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus star as a dad and daughter, but stop those achy-breaky hearts midflutter – Hannah Montana is Miley’s show,” Gillian Flynn wrote.

November 2006: EW reviewed the first Hannah Montana album, giving it a C-: “‘I’m individual/I’m not like anyone,’ sings Disney Channel heroine Hannah Montana, as played by Miley Cyrus…. By individualism, she means the ability to mimic Avril, Ashlee, and Britney simultaneously,” wrote Chris Willman. “The TV character leads a Superman-style double life: derivative pop star by night, undercover normal kid by day. Here, that duality results in tween-entitlement anthems about how totally awesome it is to be famous, yet go unrecognized at will — a nice fantasy for Brangelina, but a weird one to push on little girls.” It didn’t matter: It held the top spot on Billboard for two weeks, beating first-week sales of one-name acts like Fergie, Janet, and Diddy.  READ FULL STORY »

Billy Ray Cyrus blesses troops, won't talk about divorce

Billy Ray Cyrus had three things to say: “God bless America, God bless the troops,” and don’t ask him about his divorce. Cyrus was taping an interview on Tuesday (set to air today) for Woody and the Wake-Up Call on WCOL — Columbus, Ohio’s continuous country station! — when the host asked about his pending divorce. “I’m sorry, I had to ask you,” Woody Johnson stammered. And then Cyrus got huffy: READ FULL STORY »

Miley Cyrus to play private eye, undercover as sorority girl

Miley-CyrusImage Credit: Robin Wong/PR PhotosMiley Cyrus is set to star in the action-comedy So Undercover. According to Deadline, she will play “a tough, street-smart private eye hired by the FBI to go undercover at a college sorority.” The film, expected to begin production next month, will be directed by Tom Vaughan (What Happens in Vegas) from a script by Allan Loeb (The SwitchWall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps) and his producing partner Steven Pearl.

Now, after you accept Cyrus, who turns 18 later this month, as a street-smart private eye recruited by the FBI (there is something rough about her speaking voice), you can begin to see the possibilities: Will P.I. Cyrus wear skinny jeans with her badass knee-high boots, or will she wear them with a skirt like The Good Wife‘s Kalinda? Will the sorority have prim and proper sisters like the contestants in Miss Congeniality, or will they be misfits like in The House Bunny? Will Cyrus’ character fall for a geek who can’t believe she lied to him (but who’ll forgive her because she’s hot), or the young agent assigned to be her date at a formal?

What’s your best guess? READ FULL STORY »

Miley Cyrus films a video to tell fans 'I'm just like y'all!'

It’s been an awfully quiet summer in the world of Miley Cyrus. There hasn’t been a new dance party anthem — leaving me to rely on my old standards, “See You Again” and “Party in the U.S.A.” — and I can’t bear the thought of enduring a Nicholas Sparks melodrama just to get a Miley fix. Without her Twitter, rumors this summer ran rampant, so finally the raspy voiced teen star filmed a video to set things straight and update her fans on her busy teen life.

Miley introduced fans to her new rescue dog (point 1 for Miley), joked about gaining weight on vacation (point 2 for Miley), and really did her part to come across as a normal teen girl wanting to live a normal teen life, even if that life includes an immaculately decorated, NYC studio apartment-sized shoe closet. It was great to see her acknowledge that she needed to go take a math quiz — even if she was procrastinating said math quiz to make a video. (Miley Cyrus stalling on math homework — I always knew we could be friends.) Of course, Miley proved that after her math, she could stand to brush up on her geography, with her “California is not the most beautiful city in the world” comment.

Lunchtime Poll: I wanna know what scandalous is

most-offensiveImage Credit: Cyrus: Central Image Agency/FilmMagic.com

The above poster for this fall’s CW series Nikita is apparently too hot to handle for L.A. shopping center The Grove and other important meccas of U.S. commerce. According to Variety, certain outlets upset with seeing so much leg agreed to a replacement ad featuring star Maggie Q lounging near a machine gun in a long red dress. Whew! As long as a gun is still involved!

I’m tired of being sensitive to people who are frightened of high-cut leotards and great big chairs. What is that called — flashdanciophobia? Get over it and put on some legwarmers. If Maggie was wearing pants, how would we see her tattoo of a phoenix? If 2008′s Gossip Girl poster didn’t say “OMFG,” how would we know that Nate and Serena were f***ing? If I can’t analyze the contours of a 17-year-old’s inner thigh, how will I know I’m at a Miley Cyrus concert? The devil’s in the details. I want you to show me….

Ashley Greene stuck in high school, in a Miley Cyrus film

Ashley-GreeneImage Credit: Tina Gill/PR PhotosTwilight‘s Ashley Greene and Hung‘s Thomas Jane are in talks to join the cast of LOL, a remake of a French comedy that will star Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Greene will play “a high school bad girl,” presumably a classmate of Miley’s. Cyrus is going through a break up with her “more sexually experienced boyfriend” (perhaps he could not be tamed), while her mother (Moore) is moving on from her divorce. Jane will play Miley’s father.

For someone who’s 23 and typecast as a high school student, Greene is making the most of it. She’s also playing a rebellious high school teenager in the comedy Butter (with Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Garner, and Modern Family‘s Ty Burrell). Do we want to see her graduate in Hollywood, or do we like the idea that she might channel some of her Alice Cullen maturity into other “teen” roles and make them likeable? Emma Stone can’t carry that burden alone.
