FameCrawler : Billy Ray Cyrus

Daddy Ray Cyrus Not Happy About Foxx's Rant

Josh loposer — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 22:00:00 GMT

If somebody went on the radio and called your 16-year-old daughter a "little white bitch" and instructed her to both: "make a sex tape and grow up" and "catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat," you'd obviously be justified in holding a grudge.

Even though Jamie Foxx apologized to Miley Cyrus, to whom the crude comments were directed, a source has revealed that daddy Billy Ray Cyrus is still not too happy with Jamie.

“He thinks Jamie was out of line and didn’t find any humor in it,” the source told me this afternoon. “He doesn’t understand why he would do that to Miley, especially since he has teenage daughter himself... Billy Ray isn’t going to say anything publicly because he doesn’t want to this to escalate,” the source said. “He wishes it would just go away.”

Jamie made his apology last night on the Jay Leno Show and his PR people are reminding everyone that his Sirius broadcast is a "comedy show." Still, in today's crazy media world, things like telling a 16-year-old to make a sex tape and get chlamydia sometimes get taken out of context. Unbelievable, right?

Bravo to Billy Ray for taking the high road and not making any public statements. It ought to help this thing blow over a little quicker, rather than degenerate into an even more ridiculous -- which seems to be what everybody wants.

Interestingly, few seem to be calling for Foxx to get fired like they did with Don Imus.

Jamie Foxx Trashes Miley Cyrus On His Radio Show

Josh loposer — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:00:00 GMT

Snoop Dogg might be ready to work with Miley Cyrus, but don't expect actor and weekend-rapper Jamie Foxx to appear opposite her on the big screen any time soon.

Jamie Foxx, the father who recently told his daughter that she's not allowed to date until she's married, thinks that Miley needs to "make a sex-tape and grow up." Not exactly the type of advice you'd expect from overprotective dad, right?

Apparently, another host on Foxx's Siruis radio show brought up the recent feud between Miley and Radiohead's front man Thom Yorke. If you're not familiar with the story, Miley wanted to hang out with the band after the Grammys, but Yorke declined.

Obviously, Foxx sides with Radiohead on this one. At some point in the rant, he reportedly said "Who is Miley Cyrus? The one with all the gums? She need to get a gum transplant!" Whoa dude, that one was below the belt.

Anyhow, I have to feel kinda sorry for Miley here. If I knew for a fact that both Radiohead and Jamie Foxx didn't like me when I was 16, it would be a pretty serious blow.

Miley Cyrus Can't Wait To Be A Soccer Mom

Josh loposer — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:01:00 GMT

In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, Miley answered that annoying question that everybody asks when you're 16: where do see yourself in 10 years? Unlike most, Miley has a surprisingly realistic mental picture. And no, she's not pregnant.

"I'll be a soccer mom," she says. "Like Posh Spice. I'll be there in my heels cheering on my kids. 'Go, team, go!' But I'll have no idea what's going on."

Is Miley implying that Posh doesn't understand the sport of soccer? Because the quote can kinda be read that way. Of all the soccer moms out there, I imagine that Posh has a pretty keen understanding -- seeing as though she's sat through quite a few of Becks' matches.

It's kinda weird to think that Miley Cyrus dreams of being a soccer mom (albeit a really rich one). No? As a child superstar, I guess its good to have some realistic goals, because you never know when or if that gravytrain of a career will hit a dead end. In 10 years, do you think Miley Cyrus will still be a superstar?

Malia and Sasha, Meet Miley

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Malia and Sasha, your dad just won the U.S. Presidential Election - what are you going to do now? Go to Disneyland?

While I'm sure the girls will be visiting the famous theme park at some point, another offer has come in from Billy Ray Cyrus: To visit the set of daughter Miley's show, "Hannah Montana." While it isn't clear if the new First Daughters are Miley Cyrus fans, Billy Ray says they're welcome anytime.

"The invitation is there,” Miley’s dad said. “The ‘Hannah Montana’ film comes out in April. Maybe something might happen around then. Maybe not. I don’t know… I have got to keep a secret.”

“I think that would be really cool and if anything, have them visit the set,” Cyrus noted. “They could see what we do and we could hear about what they do.”

Miley had some words of advice for Sasha and Malia, whose dad is the most famous person in the world right now.

“I think, more than anything, it would be to find your own identity,” Cyrus said. “Something that makes you stand out where you can be like, ‘This is Miley and she does this.’ I think that is a cool way to be if you can have your identity away from your parents, away from a friend or brother or sister.”

Also, Miley might want to caution them about taking pictures of themselves with their cell phones.

Miley Cyrus' Sweet 16: We Partied Like It Was 2008

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:05:00 GMT

I took my two daughters to Miley Cyrus' Sweet 16 party at Disneyland last night. I'm deaf now because of all the screaming, but my girls told me in sign language that they had an awesome time.

That Miley knows how to throw a party. Disney estimates that over 5,000 people attended the soiree, which cost $250 a ticket and featured a short concert by Miley and her dad Billy Ray. Celebrity guests included Steve Carell, Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford and David Archuleta. We saw all of them during the 'purple carpet' arrivals, but didn't see any of them roaming the park. I was disappointed, since I was looking forward to sitting real close to Carell on the Jungle Cruise and pretending he and I were on our honeymoon.

Miley's new boyfriend Justin Gaston joined Billy Ray on stage for a performance of "Achy Breaky Heart," and Billy Ray introduced him as "a family friend." I guess this means Justin gets the Cyrus stamp of approval; I remember my dad always introducing my boyfriends as "the bastard that's dating my daughter."

The evening ended with a huge fireworks display and the entire crowd singing Happy Birthday to Miley. It was almost 11:30pm by this point, though, so my two daughters were pretty much laying flat on their backs on Main Street asking for pillows. But still - Disneyland on a school night? They're the envy of all their friends. Like I said, that Miley knows how to throw a party.

Miley Cyrus Dating Older Man (Probably Be Pregnancy Rumors Soon)!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus is only 15-years-old but the Hannah Montana star is reportedly dating a 20-year-old man. You know what that means - the pregnancy rumors will begin again!

Miley is apparently dating Justin Gaston, an underwear model and aspiring country singer.

A source told OK!, "Miley and Justin were really playful with each other. And for being with her parents, they were extremely touchy-feely. Miley had her hands on Justin's stomach. They definitely seemed like a couple.

"Her parents, Billy Ray and Tish, really gave them space." Uh, space to get cosy?

Sure, a five year age difference isn't much - except when you're talking about a 15-year-old GIRL and a 20-year-old MAN. Hello? She's underage Justin!

Miley's dad, Billy Ray, is the one who introduced them a few months ago. Men's Director, Allen Osborne, at Vision Modeling where Justin is employed said of the young man, "He doesn't drink. He doesn't smoke. He's a very up-and-up guy."

Hmm, well, I know I wouldn't want my teen dating a twenty year old guy. That's just me though.

Miley Cyrus is NOT dead

Karl Erikson — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:37:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus is NOT dead, despite a series of fake news reports on the Internet in the last couple of days. Nobody knows how it started, but there are fake Yahoo News stories, fake Fox News videos on Youtube, and blogs all over the place have carried the story.

I repeat: these are hoaxes. Miley Cyrus is not dead.

The stories say that Miley's car was hit by a truck early Friday morning. Course, the photo above proves this is bullshit. That's Miley at the Stand Up 2 Cancer show.

To make a sick story even sicker, the hoaxers try to pass off a photo of Nikki Catsouras' car crash as Miley's. If you'll recall Nikki Catsouras was an 18-year-old girl decapitated in a horrible accident. Extremely graphic photos were somehow leaked on the Internet.

It's a pretty shitty thing to do, start a rumor like this. And in this case, it hurts not only Miley's family and friends, but those of Nikki, too. There's a special place in hell for people that pull crap like this.

Miley Cyrus Battles More Crazy

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Poor MIley Cyrus can't catch a break. First it was those leaked photos, then the catty YouTube video, now it seems a crazed fan got a little too close to the Hannah Montana star.

The incident apparently happened while Cyrus was filming "Hannah Montana: The Movie" in Beverly Hills. According to the National Enquirer, some nutball "slithered up to the teen bazillionaire during a break and - before security could nab him - grabbed her arm, babbled about being a rock musician." He then reportedly pressed a CD into her hand and pleaded, "Give it a spin! If you just listen to it, I know you'll want to record with my band!"

As her guards tackled and rushed the guy off the set he could be heard screaming, "Please!"

Geez - I knew Billy Ray Cyrus was eager to get his music career going again but this just sounds plain desperate.

Miley Cyrus: Saying Goodbye To Hannah Montana?

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 22:33:00 GMT

Did you hear that? It's the sound of millions of pre-teen girls crying at the news that Miley Cyrus' popular Hannah Montana series may be coming to an end. E! Online reported that Cyrus blurted out in an interview, "We're thinking this may be our last season," after which her rep quickly stepped in with, "We do not know if this is the last season."

Cyrus explained that she's been on the popular show longer than viewers might realize: she was 11 when it started and she turns 16 in November. But Cyrus is adamant that any changes would not be a result of her trying to distance herself from her Disney "family."

"I'm still with my family," she says. "You know, they're safe. They always feel like home. And that's what I love about the company. They are family."

With all the scandals Cyrus has generated lately, it seems like the teen star is sending signals that she's ready to move on.

Hello, E! reality show!

Are you a young person that likes Hannah Montana, racy MySpace pictures, constant controversy, and a bit of bitterness? If you like Pina Colada flavored smoothies, and getting caught in the rain, then here is the contest for you.

More of an auction, really. Billy's daughter Miley Cyrus has started a charity in the name of her late grandfather, The Pappy Cyrus Family Foundation, to "help deprived children across the U.S. by providing improved health care, education and community support."

The action ends TODAY! It is being held on eBay in addition to clothing and other items, the highest bidder can win a "date" as Miley's guest to the premiere of Disney's Bolt.

Hey, it's for a good cause. Happy bidding.

Miley Speaks Out

trix — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:46:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus has issued another statement about her Vanity Fair photo shoot on Good Morning America.

Those suggestive Vanity Fair photos were a "mistake," Miley Cyrus says, revealing that she agreed to the risqué shots in an attempt to reach out to an "older audience.""I think I was just in a stage where I was just trying to get things done, and maybe look for an older audience," the singer tells Good Morning America. "I was working with a big magazine just trying to go with what they were saying."
The 15-year-old has said the nearly nude shoot "still hurts," and reiterated that sentiment on the morning talk show, saying she had a "hard time" weathering the slew of criticism that followed.
But now, she "knows what it's like to have people talk about you like you're kind of iron."
"People need to remember that I am young and that I do have feelings, and I'll do the same thing for them," Miley, whose album Breakout is out today, says. "Anyone who was 15 years old can't say they haven't made a mistake. So I think it's just normal."

That's what we've been saying all along. Actually it's kind of hard to say where she's going and what she'll do next since the recently released pictures were taken last November but we haven't see her do anything crazy as of late. Hopefully Billy Ray has taken her well in hand and we will only see Miley doing what other 15 year old girls normally do.

Miley Cyrus Vows To Stay a Virgin

Karen — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:02:00 GMT

I never noticed before, but Miley Cyrus says she wears a purity ring.

"I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand," she told TV Guide.

"Even at my age, a lot of girls are starting to fall, and I think if (abstaining) is a commitment girls make, that's great."

I have a really hard time believing this, given her actions over the last year. Her squeaky clean reputation has taken several hits, mostly due to her posting pictures of herself online.

What do you think - has Miley been living what she preaches? Vote below!

Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus Ready For Sex After Shower Pictures Surface

Karen — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:50:00 GMT

Oh man, does this kid ever shut up? Honestly. I've seen her speak and I can see the lack of filter. Ugh.

Mere days after her shower pics hit the internet, Little Miss Attention decides to tell the press, that she is ready for "Sex and the City" the tween version. "I'd love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex and the City," Miley Cyrus, 15, tells TV Guide.

Miley honey, I don't know why your mother hasn't filled you in on the fact that there shouldn't BE a tween version of "Sex and the City." Clearly she is too busy counting your money to be a parent.

From a mother to a young girl, I gotta say this:

Dear Miley,

"Stop pouting your lips like a fish. Nothing about that is sexy. Stop taking provocative pictures of yourself. The only people looking at them are young horny boys and disgusting old pedophiles. Stop video blogging. You act like an idiot, which is all fine and dandy, have fun, but stop posting it on YouTube. Stop talking to the press. "No comment" works. Just shut your mouth. Stop trying to grow up so damn fast, and for goodness sakes, keep your dress down."

Love,

Auntie Karen

and while I'm at it:

Dear Disney, Billy Ray and Tish,

SMARTEN UP.

Miley Is Stressed Y'all & Thinks Her Family Is Annoying!

Oh teenage angst! It's a hard life for Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus - she has to share living quarters on her tour bus with her family and get this - her brother used her toothbrush to comb his eyebrows! Gross to the max dude! Huh, well maybe with the whole Cyrus clan in a tight living space, they can all keep an eye on the busy teen and keep her outta trouble!

The 15-year-old told Twist: "My whole family lives on the tour bus, and my five dogs!

"My brothers, sisters, and I share one bathroom! My brother has a ridiculous haircut, and he'd use my brush but leave his hair in it. And he used my toothbrush to comb his eyebrows once! I ask for soap and two towels in my dressing room because I shower at the venue.

"I hate showering on the bus cause my brothers always use all the hot water!"

OH. EM. GEE. That is like so horrible! Not fair that she has to share things with her family on her tour bus. Big time suckage! Hey, at least she won't be kissing older boys or taking pics of herself on the tour bus. Good plan Billy Ray and Tish.

Miley Cyrus: "Nobody's Perfect" Indeed

Karen — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 17:32:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus is still upset over the Vanity Fair photo scandal. The June issue of the publication showed a 15 year old Cyrus wrapped in a sheet, as photographed by Annie Leibowitz. The photo had many parents up in arms over Miley's choice to bare a lot of skin, as a direct conflict of her role model status.

"It still hurts when I think about it. I was embarrassed... but also it's, like, every career thing that I do can't be perfect, and sometimes my decisions are wrong."

Cyrus adds, "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.'"

Oh she's just being Miley. I think parents put too much emphasis on young stars to be role models for their children. Yeah Miley's sexual side clearly sells merchandise, but ultimately it's up to us as parents to be a filter and be our kid's best role models, no?

My Best Friend Lesley Says, "She's Just Being Miley"

Karen — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:06:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus refuses to tame her crazy ways for boys, the young Disney star said.

“I’m too much to handle right now," Cyrus said.

“I can’t be quiet and cute for boys - I have to be a bit crazy.”

Miley just completed a photo shoot for Breakout that has Moms turning their heads.

The actress also revealed her embarrassment when she came face-to-face with her celebrity crush.

“It was so embarrassing, when I first moved to Los Angeles, I had a crush on Jesse McCartney," she told Top of the Pops magazine.

"In fact, the first song I ever wrote was about Jesse. He was on my show and I told him and he was like, ‘That’s so cute!’"

Cyrus insists she no longer has a crush on any other celebrities because “they’re all getting old”, but does have a soft spot for one star.

“Orlando Bloom is gorgeous, but he’s a bit of a player,” she said.

Orlando Bloom? Sweetie he is TWICE your age! He wouldn't look in your general direction!

The Sexualization of Miley Cyrus

Karen — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:32:00 GMT

I don't get it. Maybe it's because I'm a Mom of two little boys. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but 15 year old Miley Cyrus looks a hell of a lot older in these photos for her Breakout album.

Also? The microphones? Wrong, just wrong. Between the phallic symbolism and the clothing, the suggestive poses are just icing on the cake in a package that is clearly selling. It makes me sick.

I smell a Britney repeat. Don't get me wrong, this isn't her fault entirely. Her parents obviously are following the money trail and it's so very obvious what sells.

Tons of pictures after the jump. You be the judge.

I wondered what OTMFC meant too. Apparently it means "off the mother-f*cking chain."

Nice.

Karen — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:03:00 GMT

So the pop princess made the short list. Good for her. If you've got teenagers in your house, here's how to vote:

How to vote:
1. Go HERE
2. Type your email address
3. Enter your date of birth but caution, you have to be a teenager so, even if it's not real, chose a date between 1989 and 1994
4. Go to Music -> Female Artist -> Britney Spears -> Vote

| You have one vote per day and per email adress. |

If you're not a teenager, and therefore can't vote for realz - who do you think will take the award?

My vote is on Miley, who incidently, is hosting the Teen Choice Awards. That won't be annoying at all.

Finally! Miley Gets Grounded For Her Behavior!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:03:00 GMT

Maybe Billy Ray and Tish have been reading what I've been writing! Well, probably not, but thank goodness they got a clue when it comes to the shenanigans of their 15-year-old daughter Miley. The Hannah Montana celeb has had numerous questionable photos leaked online on her Myspace page, rumors of inappropriate behavior and now, even talk of dating a 22-year-old - one of her back-up dancers. Not good for her and most likely illegal for him. Now, mama Tish has put her foot down and grounded her daughter!

According to Star, Tish grounded Miley in May because she was getting a bit too flirty with boys and older men. A friend revealed that Miley's computer has been taken away, saying, "Miley is getting too big for her britches and had to be taken down a notch. And Tish is the only person capable of doing it! Tish also banned her young daughter from non-work related activities.

"She is very upset with the pictures that have been leaked and she's worried Miley's image has been permanently tarnished."

I'd be slightly more concerned about my daughter getting into big time trouble before I'd be worried about her 'image.'

The friend added, "Tish is concerned with her flirting on Myspace. When Tish found out, she confronted MIley, who snapped, 'Get off my back!'

"She's also been saying inappropriate language, and Tish has had enough of that. They're church going people, and Tish wants to have respect for their religion."

'Bout freakin' time! I'd take that camera phone away too.

Miley Cyrus Dating 22-Year-old: Isn't That Illegal?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:08:00 GMT

Knock knock, anyone home at the Cyrus house? Are Billy Ray and Tish going to continue to let 15-year-old Miley become the next young trainwreck? Are they too busy "managing" her, that they don't see the trouble that she seems to be getting herself into? The teen sensation has had many risque photos leaked onto the internet and yet her Myspace page is still up and she obviously still has access to her camera phone. If she was my kid, DELETE. That's just me. Now comes word that the Hannah Montana star is dating her 22-year-old back-up dancer! Isn't that, you know, illegal on his part?

Rumors are, that Miley and Marshall are becoming quite close. The pair have been caught flirting on camera, hugging and kissing each other - albeit the kisses, thus far, have been on her cheek- and although flirting isn't a bad thing, it's a little weird when it's a 22-year-old man is doing it with a young teen. By weird, I mean creepy.

I hope this isn't true for many reasons!

Miley Cyrus Breakout Album Cover

Whit Honea — Sat, 31 May 2008 17:02:00 GMT

That big sigh of relief you heard? I believe it came from the Disney home office.

The new album/CD/MP3/whatever cover for Miss Miley Cyrus' Breakout has been released and she's not naked! Finally, something Disney, Billy Ray Cyrus, and 12-year-old girls everywhere can agree on. 15-year-old boys are reportedly not happy.

Personally, I've never thought much of all the hoopla surrounding Miley Cyrus. Sure, some of the pictures that have surfaced over the past year have been a bit much, but overall I think she's done pretty well for a teenager with a billion dollars under her matress. Billy Ray Cyrus could have done a lot worse.

Here's the new cover. The album drops (industry talk) on July 22nd, and the single "7 Things" is currently getting air time on Radio Disney.

Miley Cyrus' First Kiss Is Worth A Lot Of Coin

Karen — Thu, 29 May 2008 00:33:00 GMT

This disturbs me. The L.A. Times ran a piece today asking how much Miley Cyrus' First Kiss was worth. You'll never believe this.

Anywhere from $30,000 to $150,000, depending on which paparazzo you ask. A photo's price could be higher if her designated love object happened to be camera-worthy like a Jonas brother, or Shia LaBeouf, not just some cute Kevin Federline-esque wannabe.

No one, not her father or mother, no one would comment on the fact that the paps follow young Miley everywhere, including church. She's FIFTEEN. I've always had a bit of a hard-ass position when it comes to stalking celebs and there's no doubt they've ruined fame for many, but to have a child stalked like this is worse, in my eyes.

I've seen the other end of these cameras and honestly, having 30-50 men following me around as an adult would be unnerving. What's it doing to her?

I maintain that there ought to be laws in place, especially in regards to children.
