Could it be that Miley Cyrus has finally outgrown her professional relationship with Disney and is ready to put say Peace the Spork Out to the Hannah Montana role that made her a star? Well, according to a new report, both Miley and her daddums Billy Ray Cyrus are doing everything they can to get out of finishing the eps for this last season of the show as quickly as they can (ie. before the actual end of the season) much to Disney‘s chagrin. Interestingly enough, there is another new report that claims that Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell is lookin’ to sign Miley up to play a young Carrie Bradshaw in a proposed “young adult” prequel series to SaTC … so basically, we’ve got good news/bad news sitch on our hands:
TMZ has learned Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus want off “Hannah Montana,” and their conduct has triggered a war on the set. Our spies on the set tell us Miley has bragged that she will get fired, making it clear she wants to focus on singing and not the show. For his part, Billy Ray has also made it clear that there is more money in singing than a Disney cable show. As a result, the father-daughter team has been showing up to the set ridiculously late, stalling production and infuriating cast and crew … Sources tell us Billy Ray has told people on the set that he and Miley will do 12 more episodes and then they are out. Disney was so pissed they called his agent, railing that Billy Ray and Miley were ingrates. Disney insisted that Billy Ray and Miley not only finish the 24 episode season — but Disney was adding six more episodes.
And now for the bad news:
Candace Bushnell, the creator of the smash TV series and movie Sex And The City, has suggested that Miley Cyrus play the role of a young Carrie Bradshaw in her planned prequel series. Currently working on a pair of novels focusing on ‘young’ Carrie’s time in high school, Bushnell has revealed that the teenage Carrie, “…did not follow the crowd – she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene.” She added that Cyrus could be perfect playing the teenage Carrie, who has been played as an adult by Sarah Jessica Parker in the TV series and on the big screen. Miley herself appears to be very keen on the role, telling TV Guide earlier in the year, “I’d love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex And The City.”
While I wouldn’t mind very much if the Hannah Montana character died a quick and painful death, I am aghast that this Sex and the City prequel bullshizz is even being discussed. I’m not sure how valid this report is necessarily but I personally think a sanitized, young adult version of the show would be SO STUPID. WTF are they thinking? The whole idea is bad enough but casting Miley Cyrus, are they seriously out of their freakin’ minds? I really hope this wild talk is a total fabrication … I’m not sure my frail little heart could survive what I think would be the total decimation of SaTC. Please gods, let this never happen … please. What do y’all think … does any of this sound like a good idea to any of y’all?
Disney has a 65 episode guideline for all the shows they create and air. Some make it to the 65 mark before being canceled despite it popularity (e.g. Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens, Adventures of the Gummi Bears). Due to the popularity of certain shows (and petitions) some shows run past the 65 guideline and run anywhere from there to 100 episodes ( e.g. That’s So Raven, Kim Possible, Suite Life of Zack and Cody).
I find it hard to believe that Miley and her father will endanger their relationship with Disney while Hannah Montana remains a current running series past the 65 episode guideline. (Especially when they fought so hard to save face over the Vanity Fair photo controversy.)
ugh, i hope this does not turn out to be true. i love SATC but i think doing a “prequel” is dumb. and miley cyrus playing carrie bradshaw-FUCK NO!!!!
I really don’t care about Hannah Montana so it doesn’t make a difference if the show stops. But there is no way it would be a good idea to have Miley play Carrie! Carrie is awesome and Miley is pretty much lame.
Miley Cyrus is a joke that needs to be stopped.
I heard they really are doing a teenage prequel NOVEL…
I hate both ideas. CB is just riding on the coattails of the movie and Gossip Girl. Leave Carrie alone…we don’t need to see her as a teen. We met her at just the right time…as an adult. As for MC playing a young Carrie Bradshaw….are people on crack? For a start, Carrie isn’t a southerner. And even as a teen we can assume Carrie was cool. Which Miley Cyrus is not, although my 8yo would argue.
“A younger, cleaner version of Sex And The City” ?
How was she even allowed to watch it since she’s not even 16, yet?
i think it’s great miley is growing past being just a disney star .. good for her. i also heard she’s working with stylist kira plastinina who’s also a young mature talent .. checked out her site and loved it! (www.kiraplastinina.us)
Words cannot describe how bad of an idea it would be to have Miley act as a young Carrie. In fact, I feel as though that would be an insult to the entire SATC series itself. PLEASE find someone else.
CB is writing a SaTC prequel novel.
I haven’t heard anything about a TV show/movie, though.
But if she does make one (which, I don’t think she should) Miley should be on the bottom of the list of actresses to play Carrie.
If any young actress should play the teenaged Carrie Bradshaw it should be Dakota Fanning! Her features aren’t as trong, but she has the acting chops to be a young Carrie.
NO NO NO NO
everything with her in it is a nono.seriously.she’s just out for attention
