Hannah Montana Scandal: Ooooohhh I shudder

Is she pregnant? NO. Did she lip sink? NOPE. Is she really 24? HECK NO.

It appears during the really expensive concert all those fans paid for they saw a body double. That’s what OK Magazine reported. Yes, Miley Cyrus used a body double during her concert.

Now the scoop is Miley put a body double on stage so she could do a costume change. I wonder how long that double was actually on stage. If it was 15 minutes or less is that really such a big deal.

After all, folks we are not talking Milli Vanilli here; just a young girl who puts on her pants like all other kids one leg at a time. Give her a break. Let her change clothes without actually breaking the leg. Instead of leaving the stage empty she put a double on big deal.

Ok sure, maybe, she should have just left the dancers on without her. She’s young. She’ll learn. It’s not the end of the world. No one was ripped off.

The only crime is that the parents had to actually sit through the concert for their kids. Now they just have buyers remorse and want their money back!

Billy Ray Cyrus Redeemed


Billy Ray Cyrus was giving an interview today on the Glenn Beck show on CNN Headline News, and I was struck by how well the years have treated this man.

I am not talking about the way Cyrus looks, because he clearly is enrolled in the "Jon Bon Jovi school of aging" that is, not aging. No, I'm referring to the way Billy Ray Cyrus has sort of redeemed himself from the mullet wearing, hip swiveling, Elvis wannabe that he appeared to be in the 80's.

I'm not ashamed to admit I've watched more than one episode of Hannah Montana, and find it entertaining, what's more entertaining is that Cyrus not only has a hit show that he is happily second banana on; he and his wife seem to be raising a sweet, level headed young lady in show business which is not an easy task. He makes no secret of the fact that he enjoys being friends with his child; and in observing his daughter Miley, the feeling seems to be mutual.

The Baxters from Raven to Corey

I admit it! Yes, I watch the Disney Channel. Worse I actually enjoy the non animated TV Shows. Having said this you must understand that I don't frequently watch this channel. However, when I'm bored and channel surfing I may fall and rest on that channel.

"That's So Raven," I enjoyed, because I love the fact that little Olivia from "The Cosby Show," is all grown up. She's quite the talented young lady. While I don't get the need for seeing the visions, I do think it's good clean family values comedy.

It's my understanding that Raven went off the air. I know this because I have watched the spin off, "Corey in the House." By the way, this is the first spin off for Disney. I watched a couple episodes and it's cute. I wouldn't be an inclined to watch it again. However, for it's target audience (probably 4 to 12) it's the perfect show.




For those of us not in the target range we are probably wondering WTF? How did the men in the Baxter family end up in the White House and the women folk just disappeared. Well at least that's what I wondered.

I actually had to check this out today to settle my curiosity. It turns out that Raven has gone off to college and Mom is attending law school. Now either Mom has travelled elsewhere to attend, or she is one grumpy person that no one wants to live with, because Corey has decided to move with his Dad. Dad is now cooking for the President. Well that's the story they spun, and I'm sticking to it! Why not, nothing else would make more sense. Unless Mom died. I guess that wouldn't make for good Disney viewing.

I've settled my curiosity. Did I yours? Or are you just simply bored?
