Miley Cyrus Talks Topless Photo Scandal

Miley Cyrus Talks Topless Photo Scandal

Everyone is entitled to their fair share of mistakes, especially at a young age.  And Miley Cyrus recently opened up about the whole Vanity Fair photo scandal from earlier this year.

The “Hannah Montana” babe told press, “I was embarrassed… but also it’s like, every career thing that I do can’t be perfect, and sometimes my decisions are wrong.”

Miss Cyrus also said that she hopes her fallibility will help her fanbase realize that she’s flawed just like everybody else.  “I don’t think people will look at me any differently because they’re like, ‘You know what, I’m going to do stupid stuff too, and I’m going to make mistakes, and that’s fine.’”

As for her status as a role model for young women, she says she’s flattered but, “that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to make mistakes and do things that everyone’s going to be happy with … there’s no such thing as perfection.”

Just like any career-minded entertainer, Miley has been pondering the question of what’s next.  “I’ve been talking to people about some cool movies, but right now I mostly want to stay within my company and keep them happy and keep everything that we’re doing successful and focus on that.  I like to do everything that I do 120 percent and unless I can focus hardcore on that, I don’t want to do it yet.”

Bolt Movie Trailer

Disney has released the trailer for Bolt. Does anyone else find it ironic that an Elvis Presley song is used in the trailer for a movie in which Lilo & Stitch director Chris Sanders was removed as director? I talked about the controversy behind this project last week, if you haven’t had a chance, check it out here.

I’ll admit that because of the backstory, it’s hard for me to be accept Disney’s reworking of Sander’s original designs. But aside from the groan inducing trick opening, the movie doest look all that bad. Sure, the characters and situations don’t look nearly as interesting or as original as Sander’s designs, but it also doesn’t look as generic as past Disney efforts. Plus releasing the film in 3D at least guarantees a fun theatrical experience. Could it be the John Lasseter effect? I’d be interested to hear the opinions of readers who didn’t feel an attachment to Sander’s American Dog concept art. What do you think?

For super-dog Bolt (voiced by John Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue – at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet – a cross-country journey through the real world. Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely traveling companions – a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman), and TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino – Bolt discovers he doesn’t need superpowers to be a hero. Miley Cyrus (“Hannah Montana”) brings her vocal talents to the role of Penny, Bolt’s human co-star on the television series.

Watch the trailer in High Definition on Yahoo. Bolt will hit theaters on November 26th, 2008 in Disney Digital 3-D™

Bolt Teaser Poster; A Look Back at American Dog

Bolt Teaser Poster

I hear that the teaser trailer for Bolt will probably be attached to Pixar’s WALL-E, which hits theaters next week. Disney has just released the first theatrical teaser poster (as opposed to the teaser poster which has been on display at Disneyland) for the movie, which makes this that much more likely. But before you see the teaser trailer, lets take a look back at the project’s troubled history.

Originally titled American Dog, Chris Sanders was attached to write and direct. But Sander’s vison of the animated movie was a little “too bold”. His early concepts featured a one-eyed cat and an oversized radioactive rabbit (see the publicly released concept art below). Disney was supposedly looking for something a bit more “mainstream”. Funny, considering that Sanders is responsible for Disney’s last popular non-Pixar character/movie, Lilo & Stitch. Sanders was replaced by Chris Williams and Byron Howard, and the film was rewritten and retitled Bolt.

Selena Gomez: No Feud With Miley

Selena Gomez: No Feud With Miley

Though there are all kinds of rumors swirling around gossipland that Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus are feuding, Gomez has definitively shot them down.

The “Wizards of Waverly Place” cutie recently went on record to set things straight regarding her relationship with the “Hannah Montana” starlet.

Selena said, “We’re literally like, It’s fine. It’s all good. She’s Miley and I’m Selena.” As for the constant comparisons to Miss Cyrus, Gomez says she’s flattered.

“It’s a little overwhelming, but I think really, it’s a compliment.  She’s obviously extremely successful, and I think she’s a wonderful performer … So being compared to her, I was very, very flattered.”

As for differences, Selena (who has a debut album and feature film in the works) says she’s not comfortable taking the stage all by herself.  “I’m not going to be a solo artist. I want to be in a band with four other guys.”
