“Hannah Montana” is like “Sex in the City”? Huh?

The Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair article that everybody wants to read….

“It’s my favorite show! I love it!” says 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, speaking of Sex and the City over spinach-artichoke dip in a dingy Toluca Lake restaurant that for some reason, possibly native to the San Fernando Valley, is divided between cheerful families enjoying Saturday lunches and a glum row of barflies passing time by watching I-don’t-know-what on ESPN Classic. The restaurant was Cyrus’s choice. She loves the dip and the turkey-melt sandwich. She’s here with her mother, Tish, her eight-year-old sister, Noah, and somewhere between a dozen and two dozen paparazzi, who followed the Cyruses from their nearby home and are now waiting for Miley in the restaurant’s parking lot. Noah, curiously, looks like Dakota Fanning.

But back to Sex and the City. Miley says her Disney Channel sitcom, Hannah Montana, in which she plays a schoolgirl with a secret life as a rock star, is patterned in part after the former HBO series about women looking for love and hookups in Manhattan. “Obviously not the scenarios,” she explains quickly. “But if you watch Sex and the City, like the way the friends are, the way that it’s dry and they all have distinct characters—that’s a thing we try to do on our show.” (more…)

New Scandalicious Miley Pics?

Billy Ray is just going to have to break out the yard stick on this girl!

Another day, another candid-camera controversy for Miley Cyrus.

The Hannah Montana star has issued a statement exclusively to E! News about her provocative pictures in Vanity Fair. In the new issue, the 15-year-old Disney sensation appears to be topless. News of the spread was first teased by Entertainment Tonight.

“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,” she says. “I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.’”

The Disney Channel is also defending its beloved starlet, telling E! News “a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines.” (more…)

The future of NASCAR journalism

I’ve never been as sleepy as I am right now. Okay, that’s possibly a lie or I’m just deceiving you, the reader. Don’t ask, the difference between lying and deceiving was on my Media Ethics exam this morning. I think I did okay on it… I think I forgot one answer but I should have made at least an 80, I hope. Now I’m sitting here at work, working three extra hours today because I have my dentist appointment with the oral surgeon tomorrow. I admit, I’m a little nervous. Studying is where I’ve been hiding all weekend so that’s the reason for the lack of updates.

There’s also another reason..

I’m starting a new website, a NASCAR Magazine / Site geared to females (and males too if they’d like to visit). I’ve always wanted to do this and since I watched the E! True Hollywood Story on “Playboy” creator Hugh Hefner, I’ve been inspired to do so. After the website gets rolling, I plan on trying to create it into an actual print version that people can order online. Hopefully we’ll get some advertising going and actually make something of this!

So, if you would like to write for the new website / magazine, reply here and leave your email address in the form where it says so. I’ll contact you guys once I get everything going (which I do basically now… just have to settle on a name).

You can write anything from news, features, gossip, opinions, Top 10 list, anything original. Send it to me and I’ll post it. If you have photos or anything that you’ve taken, you can include those also. If you’re interested in writing, journalism, the media, whatever, you can be a part of this.

Just let me know!
