Miley Cyrus

...Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray Cyrus was on "The View" and he talked about his family, all good things. He said that he has called off the divorce from his wife Tish and that he and Miley are doing much better, so much so that they are pretty much back tot he way they were before "Hannah Montana". This is all good, though some have said that maybe it is still too soon. Miley was made at Billy for making harsh comments about how he "hated" what the show had done to his family. Miley got so mad that apparently she made him cancel his 1st appearance on "The View" earlier this year. I on the other hand think that things might be well, at least with Billy and Tish. Time has passed and I am sure whatever rift they had has healed. He and Miley on the other hand.... She is still young and very wealthy and has enough power to get her way in Hollywood. She has just started to give him trouble, and more will come. She is a young girl with emotions, even if she was not famous, she would still be giving him trouble on some level. I am giving Billy Ray Cyrus a Digit Up for coming out and acknowledging his vaults and admitting his mistakes. Even if he might have sugarcoated something, I am sure he did them to protect his family.

...SNL

You may think I am late, but I have a reason. I watched Saturday Night Live live Saturday, and then I watched it again Sunday. My conclusion stayed the same, not funny at all! The host was Miley Cyrus. I could tell from the opening monologue that it was going to be a rough show. She was not funny, she sang, and the crowd did not seem into it.

There was only 1 funny skit, and it was only funny compared to the rest.

She talked about her salvia use and her missteps over the years but it was so vague and boring. For the 2nd weekend in a row young people have messed up some a traditional show. James Franco and Anne Hathaway at the Academy Awards and now Miley Cyrus at SNL. Ultimately the blame is placed on SNL tough because why would they pick her to host? She does not have a movie coming out, her salvia thing is old, and her parents divorce was announced months ago. Basically no one cares about Miley right now. I sadly have to give SNL a Digit Down for fudging things up this weekend.

...Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray Cyrus is upset. He is upset with the show "Hannah Montana" for ruining his family and with the people hanging around his daughter Miley Cyrus. In the latest GQ he said, "I'll tell you right now -- the damn show destroyed my family. And I sit there and I go, 'Yeah, you know what? Some gave all.' It is my motto, and guess what? I have to eat that one. I some gave-all'd it all right. I some-gave all'd it while everybody else was going to the bank. It's all sad." Billy and his wife Tish are going through a divorce right now and of course we all know about Miley's past incidents. "I'm scared for her. She's got a lot of people around her that's putting her in a great deal of danger. I know she's 18, but I still feel like as her daddy I'd like to try to help. At least get her out of danger. I want to get her sheltered from the storm. Stop the insanity just for a minute." He says he regrets being a friend to her more so than a parent. This is very common for most showbiz parents, especially when the kid is making millions...hundreds of millions and supporting their family. Billy had a hit int he 90's, but Miley is making more than her ever did. It is very convenient for him to complain now, now that the show is over and Miley is 18 and he can no longer control her or her money. I am sure he does truly worry about her, as most parents would their child, but it may be too little too late, she is 18 in Hollywood and a celebrity, so really she is 35. He went on to compare his daughter to others who he saw about to crash, "... Like Anna Nicole Smith -- you could see that train wreck coming. I was actually trying to reach out to Anna Nicole Smith, because I kept telling Tish and everybody around me, going, 'This is a disaster.' Michael Jackson -- I was trying to reach out to Michael Jackson. I knew he had kids, and I was going to invite his kids down to a taping of "Hannah" -- I just felt it would be good for Michael." He end the interview with this shocking statement, ""For the record, to set it straight, I want to tell you: I've never made a dime off Miley. You got a lot of people have made percentages off of her. I'm proud to say to this day I've never made one commissioned dollar, or dime, off of my daughter." This may be technically true, but if you count the house that was bought, probably with her money, in L.A. and all of the other things that were bought for the "family" with her money, I ma sure it would add up to a hefty percentage. I am not going to dismiss everything he is saying. In the next few months or years we will see how serous he really is about wanting to help his daughter. For now though I am just finding this too convenient for him with all of the show bashing, the show that also helped revive his career, and calling out his daughter Michael Lohan style. Digit Down.

...Miley Cyrus

Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus are getting a divorce after 17 years of marriage and 5 kids. Of course they are the parents of the oddly famous Miley Cyrus. This could possibly be the best news for Miley and her career. Think about it... She now will probably get more attention because of it and more people will buy her albums and merchandise. Also she has been wanting to break out of the shadow of the Disney Network and Hannah Montana so now she will have a legitimate reason to be a "bad girl". She can say she comes from a broken home, somewhat true, and she can be bad and angry and upset and hold it in and let it out on stage and in her music, wonderful. Billy and Tish really will be fine, they are both attractive for their age and they have money and can easily get another mate. I thin they should stay together. Maybe Billy wants more, more money, more women, more fame or maybe Tish does, who knows and who cares. All I know is that Miley will get he most press out of it all and it will help her out in the long run. Digit Up to Miley.
