Disney Dust

Another Disney Channel star is on the way to biting that dust, only this time it’s been a long time coming. Miley Cyrus has been in and out of the insane media with pictures of her smoking or taking pictures of herself half naked. This time, Billy Ray is speaking out. He blames Hannah Montana for all the insane stuff happening to Miley and their family. I guess Billy recently divorced his wife and of course, Miley is still Miley. It makes me sad because the show can actually be entertaining and Miley is actually kind of talented. Unfortunately, she’s a teenager with a bunch of parents watching her every move to see if she’s ok for their children to watch. Teenagers do crazy stuff like smoke weed and take crazy pictures. She just happened to do it in the eyes of the public. It sucks to be a teenage star on the Disney channel. I think we all should have learned our lesson long ago with Hilary Duff. She had to sprint away from the Disney scene to keep her head on straight. Billy Ray gets all the blame because he’s Miley’s dad, but kids do things all the time that their parents don’t know about. It’s the way growing up is. I guess pictures of Miley smoking a bong were released in December and he’s all heart broken about it and now she’s not really speaking to him. They should have ended Hannah Montana when they had the chance and Miley should have taken a small break and then come back away from Disney. As much as I love Disney, their channel seems to ruin teen actors.

Rehab Disney

A sad day for another child "star." Demi Lovato has checked herself into rehab. Everyone associates the word rehab with drugs, especially when it comes to celebrities, but for Demi it's because she's depressed, has an eating disorder, and she has been cutting herself. I guess she checked herself into rehab right after fighting with a member of her entourage. I love Disney, but they do kind of suck on souls.

She's touring with the Jo Bros and that has to be tough for many reasons. One reason because she dated one of them and they broke up and instead of walking away, she has to see him every single day. Another reason is because their fans can be completely insane. Plus, I hear touring is super lonely. So she has Disney sucking on her soul, she has an ex boyfriend she has to see everyday, and she's probably lonely. I would probably be depressed too. But then I look at it from another angle. She's getting to tour with a very popular group, she's making tons of money, and she's working with Disney. Sounds kind of good to me. Either way, I hope it's nothing too serious. She was kind of good when she was on Grey's Anatomy. She could have the potential to break free from Disney and be a real actress.

Slutty Cyrus

Talk about trying to get kicked off of the Disney channel. Miley Cyrus has obviously been trying to break out of her role as Hannah Montana for some time and she’s not the only one who has done outrageous things to do so.

Jessica Biel for instance wanted out of 7th Heaven so badly that she basically posed nude in a magazine and then was promptly fired from the show.

So, dressing like a slut and doing bad things is obviously common. Miley Cyrus has been dressing incredibly slutty during her concerts as well as dancing on polls and making out with chicks during her performance at the Teen Choice Awards earlier this year.

Honestly, I’m fine with dressing a little crazy to get some attention, but because she’s a star on the Disney channel, I’m not fine with it.

Dressing in crazy outfits made Britney Spears and Lady Gaga famous, but they don’t have any images to uphold other than their own. Miley has the Hannah Montana image to uphold. As a parent, I would be upset if my child’s favorite Disney character dressed like a slut off screen.

I would think that Miley’s parents wouldn’t like this either. Bill Ray seems to be a wholesome person and he just lets his daughter prance around in her underwear? Seems odd to me. And to top it off, this isn’t the first time pictures of her in her underwear have emerged. The first time she took pictures of herself and someone leaked them to the internet and now she’s doing it all on her own volition. Do you think I'm being over protective?

Always and Forever

I love watching Disney channel as much as the next 12 year old and Hannah Montana is probably one of the most popular shows on there. I will admit that I saw the movie and watch the show when I stumble across it during my late night channel surfing and I watched Miley Cyrus’s London concert on Hulu. Her music is catchy and it’s always interesting to see what more she does that puts her under the magnifying glass.

All the 12 year olds, including myself were saddened when we heard that the Hannah Montana show was going away forever. Of course, Disney channel would re-run the crap out of the show the way they do now, but it was still sad to know there wouldn’t be any new shows. Until, Sunday night when Hannah Montana Forever premiered. So wait, let me get this straight. You end Hannah Montana so that Miley Cyrus can become an adult and you start a new series called Hannah Montana Forever? Interesting and kind of ass backwards. Makes me wonder if Miley said to herself “oh shit without Hannah Montana my career is over because I’m an awful actress.” I’m also almost positive that Disney channel gave her no choice in the matter since all of their money the last few years has come from that show and all its ridiculous merchandise.

The new plot line is Billy Ray Cyrus buys a bigger home in Malibu just down the street from their old home and they live their lives basically the same way as in the original series. Seems simple enough. Miley and her friends will more than likely get themselves into trouble the same way as before and each episode will end on a happy note. So why end the original show in the first place? Maybe Hannah Montana was fading and this was a way to bring attention back to it? Who knows. If only I could make that kind of money for singing some silly songs and prancing around on camera.
