Boo, Miley Cyrus, Boo.

Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, aka every 4 to 12 year old's hero has fallen. The 15 year old Disney star posed in partially nude pictures for Vanity Fair magazine. The pictures which were taken to be 'artistic' but mainly just look like a scared child caught without a shirt on.

Miley Cyrus released a statement that she was embarrassed by the photo shoot and apologizes to all her young fans. Yada yada yada...

There are just so many people to blame here. Its not like she's just sitting there all alone with a phone. There is her dad, who is her dad AND costar, her managers, her agent, the Vanity Fair people, Annie Leibovitz, all of Disney who is trusting her to make their millions...so my question is WHY DIDN'T ANYONE SAY "HEY THIS MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD IDEA!?"

Oh right because she's getting millions of views by disgusted parents, horny preteens and creepy dads looking at her bare back. Miley Cyrus is making the ultimate transition into Hollywood Hottie.

I'm sad, Miley, really sad. Because next stop is hanging out in clubs with Paris Hilton and dating Wilmer Valderrama. Then its off to ruining your career...

Disney to Not Disney Crossovers

With the soon to be release of Indiana Jones 4, I would like to take the time to share those tween actors who successfully shed their Disney beginnings.

Love Hewitt

Yes, Jennifer Love Hewitt made her start on Kids Incorporated (1989-1991) credited as Love Hewitt. She then went on to such great classics as the Work Out with Barbie Video, Party of Five and now Ghost Whisper.

However I will always remember her fondly in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit

Hayley Mills

Oh back in the day when British actors could just be British. None of this nonsense of putting on an American accent when playing an American. In truth, Hayley Mills never broke the Disney mold. Starring in The Parent Trap, That Darn Cat and finally in Good Morning Miss Bliss which later turned into Saved by the Bell.


Fergie

Fergie or Stacy Ferguson was Hewitt's cast mate on Kids Incorporated. Apparently for a show that no one remembers, they had an all star cast.


The Entire Cast of The New Mickey Mouse Club

I don't know what casting call they did for this show because they ended up with all of the hotties and heart-throbs of the 90s and 2000s:

* Josh Ackerman (Seasons 1-7)
* Christina Aguilera (Seasons 6-7)
* JC Chasez (Seasons 4-7)
* Ryan Gosling (Seasons 6-7)
* Keri Russell (Seasons 4-6)
* Britney Spears (Seasons 6-7)
* Justin Timberlake (Seasons 6-7)

I wonder if these seven once sat around a trailer and said: "hey lets all meet back here when we are all famous." Then Britney said: "Ha that will happen when I go crazy and shave my head." Good laugh all around.

Hillary Duff

This girl starred as Lizzie McGuire, the highest rated show on the Disney channel, so I can call it: "The Old Hannah Montana". Then she did Agent Cody Banks, A Cinderella Story, and The Lizzie McGuire Movie. Finally she shed her Disney skin and produced a processed pop album that I love and got her sister famous.

If she was like Britney, she would also get her sister pregnant.

Lindsay Lohan

Have you seen the remake of The Parent Trap!?!? There is Lindsay all adorable and sweet and innocent. You want to climb into the TV and say don't do it. You are going to make a lot of bad decisions but just DON'T DO IT!!

Shedding her Disney skin caused such movies as I Know Who Killed Me and Georgia Rules which by the way was completely mis-marketed as a family movie when it is really Step Dads sleeping with Step Daughters.

Lindsay, along with other pieces of clothing, please put your disney skin back on.

Shia LaBeouf

Shia wins for biggest transformation. He got his start on the annoying show Even Stevens. He was unbearable to watch and the only thing that was good about the show was Ren Stevens wacky hair styles.

Then all of a sudden, he is in movies like Disturbia (Rear Window knock off) and TRANSFORMERS!! I can't believe it. Now the media is calling him the next Tom Hanks. Did anyone see Even Stevens??? His character was only made less annoying when they added Bacon who was more annoying then Shia.

Shia, you win. You have the best Disney to Not Disney Crossover.

But I'm warning you...if Indiana Jones sucks, I am personally hating you for the rest of your life.

Zenon: Girl from the 21st Century

Back in a little year, I like to call: "The calm before the storm" aka 1999, Disney launch a great new idea: Disney Channel Original Movies! And the first original movie was Zenon: Girl from the 21st Century. The tagline? She's One Galactic Girl Who Saves The Day In A Stellar Way!

It was perfect. It had all the elements: a clear evil guy, too smart for her own good/beautiful 13 year old, a hot british? rock star, and Raven Symone pre-"That's so Raven". And wait one more! SPACE!!

I still remember and occassionally use Zedis Lapedis! or sing Zoom Zoom Zoom you super nova girl to myself in my shower.

Remember this is the start of Disney's Movies of the Month campaign which led to High School Musical.

But what is Zenon up to now? Kirsten Storms is now a soap actress with imdb credits like General Hospital and Days of our Lives. Oh how I wish I could write in a line: "You're baby is twins with another baby in your sister's womb and your sister fell into a coma. Zedis Lapedis!" Maybe when I become a writer for Space Station which of course will be set in 2046 AD

A Clique Novel by Lisi Harrison

I couldn't resist the next in the series of novels following four rich girls from Westchester and one not so rich but rich by association girl who lives in Massie's pool house. They are just so awful, so delightful and so AH-dorable.


When you search through amazon.com ratings of the books you get mixed reviews between happy nine through fifteen year olds:

omg this book was the best one yet. i loved it, i couldnt put it down. i finnished it in like 2 days. im 15 and i always thout that this book was 4 younger girls bc there in 7th grade. but as each book goes on they get more and more mature. they are way more mature then i ever was in 7th grade. but i didnt like how massie was SOOOOOOO MEAN to claire in this one. i was like screaming at her throught the book haha. i think some of the things that massie and alicia did to clair, out of jelousy was a little 2 much. i think they went to far. but i guess thats wat made me like it this much bc most of the time iwas like shouting "OMG! how can she do that to her best friend?!?" haha. cant wait 4 the next one to come out

and worried parents:

I'M NOT GEORGE KLOSS I'M MARYSE KLOSS, A CONCERNED MOM: Read these books for yourself before handing it to your daughter. Brief sampling of ideas presented in the book (constantly) include: how to tongue kiss and lip bite; oral sex is alluded to; thong underwear are promoted as cool. That is just a brief sampling. The goal of the girls in the book is to hook up...

Me? I will happily sit and read the books and do readings aloud to friends. Because, just like a car wreck, I can't look away.
