Miley Cyrus - the Memoir
The breathless announcement has been made - Miley Cyrus plans to publish her memoir! Here is the report from the New York Times:
A Bookish Miley Cyrus
By MOTOKO RICH
Having dominated cable television and the concert circuit, and coming soon to the cineplex, Miley Cyrus, the 15-year-old star of the Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana,” has agreed to write a book about her early life in Tennessee, her move to Los Angeles and the influence of her parents — especially her mother — on her success. In a seven-figure deal, Disney Book Group acquired the rights to Ms. Cyrus’s book, to be published by the Disney-Hyperion Books imprint in spring 2009, when the Hannah Montana movie is also scheduled for release. Jeanne Mosure, global publisher of Disney Book Group, said the company had already sold 15 million copies of some 60 Hannah Montana-branded titles worldwide, including novelizations and gift books about the show. She said the new book would have an initial print run of one million copies. “It’s rare that you hear from someone her age that they want to talk about their family,” Ms. Mosure said. “How she sees her family in light of everything that she’s exposed to on a daily basis is pretty incredible.”
Wow. Imagine that? She is only 15 and she is ready to write her memoir. I’m sure it will be huge.
I shall wait for her second memoir - 30 years in the future - when she actually has something to write about! Imagine the possibilities? I do…the typical downward spiral from a once fabulous career…ah.. the drugs? the drinking? the divorces? the scandals? and burning through all that money?! Yes! Now that would be a memoir!
That is the one that I shall have my nurse read to me while I vegetate at the rest home….30 years in the future…I can’t wait~!

just in from the AP: LOS ANGELES - “Miley Cyrus is taking issue with a photo of herself that’s going around, and it’s not another amateur, truth-or-dare Internet snapshot — it’s the handiwork of Annie Leibovitz. “I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,” Cyrus said Sunday in a statement through her publicist. “I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.” The photos, appearing in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, were taken by Leibovitz, a renowned celebrity photographer whose edgy, silver-toned portraits have included subjects such as Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and a naked, pregnant Demi Moore. The Cyrus pictures accompany an interview with the 15-year-old pop star and her father, singer Billy Ray Cyrus. They include shots of the teen wrapped in what appears to be a satin bedsheet, looking over her shoulder with her back exposed. The Disney Channel, which airs Cyrus’ TV show “Hannah Montana,” was also critical of Vanity Fair. “Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines,” a network statement said.”By Blowfly

She better write fast. Looks like she’s already is starting to pack her bags to move in with Lindsey, Brit, and Paris. At 15, you can’t wait too long to cash in.By Mark from St Paul

The announcement was made during Earth Day week because it won’t deforest an entire lot to print the book?
