Hannah Montana Gets Ready to Rock the Big Screen

If you've got a tween girl in your life, chances are pretty good you know the name Hannah Montana. The popular Disney series stars Miley Cyrus (daughter of former mullet king/country star Billy Ray Cyrus, who stars in the show as Miley's father) as an ordinary girl who lives a secret double life as a wildly popular pop star. The Best of Both Worlds concert tour last year (which features young Cyrus both as herself and in her Hannah Montana persona) sold out across the country within minutes, largely due to ticket scalpers snatching up tickets and then reselling them for exorbitant markups.

I'll be bringing you a review of the big event this weekend, so stay tuned.

...I wonder if the songs could be said were written for the concert and the movie is a doc about the concert so they would qualify for Best Original Song at the oscars? Probably not. Biggest opening weekend ever? No. Really high opening? Yes. Gonna be open for more than a week? likely.

This is off topic, but I think a floating Hannah Montana head would make an excellent level boss for a Contra or Shinobi game.
I need to eat some breakfast....
