It was previously reported, by Miley Cyrus' dad no less, that there are talks for the daughters of President-elect Barack to appear on Hannah Montana. Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, are said to be huge fans of the Disney show and were allegedly invited to appear in the teen series alongside global sensation Miley Cyrus. Country rocker Billy Ray Cyrus confirmed the reports and said that Obama and wife Michelle are letting their kids to appear on the show to show thanks for supporting their dad en route to being the first African-American occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Less than a few weeks after these reports came out, elder Cyrus is putting the brakes on the news as the Obama kids will not be appearing on Hannah Montana after all. Previously, Cyrus herself said she was already planning storylines for the Obama kids.

Following the recent scandal faced by The Cheetah Girls star Adrienne Bailon, the rumor that Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus is dead has got fans in a rampage. It was mistakenly reported over the weekend that the 16-year-old actress had suffered a fatal demise in a car accident. A YouTube video was even released by someone claiming to be a close friend of the celebrity, reinforcing the idea that fans (or haters) will go to great lengths for their obsessions.
Online frauds continue to plague these Disney stars, which is nothing new in the entertainment world. The video that was posted included a series of heartfelt messages for Miley Cyrus, who supposedly passed away because of a drunk driving incident. Though the video was already deleted, sources have already gotten hold of what it contained.

Call me crazy, but I think Miley Cyrus and Justin Gaston need to have a chit chat about their relationship. When asked about her boyfriend on Good Morning America, the Hannah Montana star refused to give out any details. “Um, I'm going to keep that one zip-tight, locked and throw away the key,” she said. Gaston, on the other hand, told Access Hollywood this week that he and Cyrus are not in a relationship at all. They’re just friends. "Oh, just family friend, you know," he said at the 42nd Annual Country Music Association Awards Wednesday night. Cyrus was also in attendance and Gaston told People magazine that he thought she looked pretty, but refused to admit that the two were in any kind of romantic relationship.

Being the daughters of the President of the United States must certainly have its pros and cons. On the cons side, there’s the complete lack of privacy, the constant travel, the fear that something could happen to you or your parents, the media exposure, and so on. On the pros side, you’re a celebrity who gets lots of perks and as the daughters of Barack Obama, if you’re a fan of Hannah Montana, well, you can just get on the show. Billy Ray Cyrus said in an interview this week that Malia, 10, and Sasha Obama, 7, have been asked to guest star on an upcoming episode that would air possibly in April.

This weekend, the Disney Channel was set to air a brand new episode of Hannah Montana entitled “No Sugar, Sugar”. The story focused on Miley dealing with a friend’s diagnosis of diabetes. Apparently, Disney execs were flooded with complaints from parents who saw a preview and caused such a commotion that the episode has been pulled from the television line-up. "During the scriptwriting stage of the Hannah Montana episode in question, the matter of depicting a character with diabetes was reviewed by our Standards and Practices executives who consulted with medical experts to inform the story and ensure that it was told responsibly,” a Hannah Montana spokesperson told the New York Daily News.

This Halloween, there were many little girls dressed up as Hannah Montana. Costumes sold out at just about every major retailer and neighborhoods were filled with blonde wigs and sparkly outfits, complete with fake microphone. However, there was one costume that may not have been as popular, but certainly raised some eyebrows this weekend. Justin Gaston, Miley Cyrus’s boyfriend, decided to dress up as Nick Jonas, her ex. Miley herself certainly didn’t seem to mind as Justin spent the evening hanging out at the Cyrus home. He rocked out to a few Jonas Brothers tunes in her driveway and even handed out candy to kids trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.
