Scary and sad news to pass along today … it is being reported that Miley Cyrus’s tour bus was involved in a deadly accident in Virginia last night that resulted in at least one reported death. At this point, there is no indication that Miley was injured in the accident but it is being reported that the bus that flipped over was the one that Miley usually rides in. 9 people are reported injured and, very sadly, the bus driver of the flipped bus has been reported dead:

A tour bus has crashed on Interstate 85, injuring several people and killing one. It happened at mile marker 55, that’s right in front of the rest area. Sources tell CBS 6 it is the tour bus of singer Miley Cyrus and that her driver has died in the crash. According to her Cyrus’ website her next concert is this Sunday in Greensboro, North Carolina. Our Senior Reporter Wayne Covil is on the scene right now and tells us Miley Cyrus was not on the bus and is not at the scene. We’ll have a live report on CBS 6 News at Noon.

The report above comes from a Virginian news outlet but TMZ is also reporting this deadly accident:

Miley Cyrus’ tour bus driver was reportedly killed last night after a bus, believed to be the one she usually travels in, flipped over on a highway in Virginia … We’re told 9 people were injured in the crash. The 9 injuries, we’re told, are minor. So far we do not know the identities of the injured. A man at the scene says the bus appears to have drifted off the road for a fairly long stretch before tipping over … According to officials, Miley was on a bus that was part of a 4-vehicle caravan which included the bus that crashed. We’re told Miley’s bus was not involved in the crash.. Officials also confirmed the driver of the bus was the fatality, and one other person was transported to a local hospital due to injury. Officials are investigating whether the driver died before the crash or after — which could explain why the bus drifted off the road. Officials also tell us the roads were really wet from overnight rain. A rep from Dinwiddie Fire and EMS tells us the bus had been carrying Miley’s concert production crew — there were 14 passengers on-board.

Wow … this is just really horrible. No matter what anyone may think about Miley Cyrus and her music I’m sure no one wants to see her hurt … I’m very happy that she was not injured in this accident but my deepest condolences go out to the person who reportedly lost their life. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more from this story … hopefull we’ll be hearing good news soon.

Now that Miley Cyrus is no longer tweeting her every move on Twitter anymore, the world is left in a vacuum of non-information about what is going on in her life … fortunately, we have her blabby co-stars to rely on to give us all the deets on what is going on in her life. According to Miley’s co-star Cody Linley, Miss Cyrus (who’s been battling illness on the concert trail recently) contracted the H1-N1 virus better known as the swine flu! Oh NO!!

Miley Cyrus has been battling the swine flu. That’s according to Cyrus’ friend and former Hannah Montana co-star Cody Linley. During an interview with Reelz Channel Thursday night, Linley said the pop star canceled her recent concert in Utah because she fell ill. He said he talked to Cyrus that same day, which was about a week ago. “She said she felt really bad. She really didn’t understand what was happening but she just got really sick and she had to run off stage because things were just, like, on her heart too heavy,” he said. A day later, he says, Cyrus told him the diagnosis. “Then the next day she told me she had the swine flu,” he said. Linley said he hadn’t talked to Cyrus “in a few days.” Early Friday, he said Cyrus has since recovered from her illness. “She’s doing alright now. She’s better. She’s healthy,” he said. Linley is perhaps best known for his recurring role as Jake Ryan on Disney’s “Hannah Montana.” He was also a contestant on the seventh season of “Dancing With the Stars.” Calls to Cyrus’ reps have not yet been returned.

Blah!! What at time for Miley to NOT be tweeting on Twitter. I can only imagine the genius messages Miley might’ve been posting regarding her illness had she not quit Twitter before coming down with the swine flu. It remains to be seen if Miley’s people will confirm or deny this swine flu report from her co-star but the worst part is that we have to wait. If Miley hadn’t quit Twitter she’d've prolly been tweeting all about her swine flu illness. Blah.

UPDATE: Welp, Miley has finally chimed in on this report … it is now being claimed that Miley doesn’t have swine flu, just a case of strep throat:

Miley Cyrus says she has not been battling the swine flu despite what her former Hannah Montana co-star Cody Linley said on camera. On Friday, Cyrus spoke with Billy Bush on his radio show and said she never had H1N1. The performer said she just had a bad case of strep throat and was “really, really sick.” “I’m much better now, thank goodness,” she said.

Uh huh … I’m gonna go ahead and try to take this statement at face value … but I dunno … even if she really did have swine flu, I do not believe that her people would let her admit it. HMMMM … what do y’all think … does Miley really have swine flu? Imma hafta see a doctor’s note before I believe anything ;)

A few weeks ago we started hearing the rumors that Miley Cyrus would be appearing in the new sequel film Sex and the City 2, which is currently filming in NYC, NY and then we began hearing reports of what her appearance in the film would be like. Instead of a featured role, Miley would appear in a cameo appearance only (thank Gods). It turns out that those reports are true, here are the first photos of Miley on the set of SaTC2 filming her cameo appearance yesterday in NYC and the deets as reported of her cameo:

Although Miley Cyrus was only, um, 5 when Sex and the City debuted on HBO back in 1998, the teen is apparently a big fan and has landed herself a guest-starring role in the upcoming movie sequel. The 16-year-old Disney darling, who recently wrapped on the film The Last Song, is now confirmed to appear in the sure-to-be-a-hit flick. Don’t look for Miley to take on a big role a la Jennifer Hudson’s personal assistant character in the first movie. She’ll instead be making a cameo as herself and will have a big showdown with Kim Cattrall’s Samantha when they show up wearing the same dress to an event (horror!), says a report. In the script, Mario Cantone’s character, Anthony, reportedly says: “Mother of God. She is wearing the same dress as Hannah Montana.” Miley — who’s not expected to utter any lines in the film — is expected to shoot her scene on Oct. 16.

Blech. I, personally, think this is horrid idea but at least it’s only a cameo appearance … it could’ve been MUCH worse. As I recall, Miley famously started blabbing to media outlets that she was a big fan of Sex and the City when it aired on TV … which would mean she was a pre-pubescent girl who’s parents let her watch an adult television series that talked in a very frank manner about all manners of sexual escapades … none of which should be at all surprising considering the way the Cyrus family have raised their little meal ticket. But I digress … it would appear that Miley’s blabbing inspired the filmmakers to put her in the film … the little minx is pretty smart, don’t you think? After the jump, check out a few more photos from the set of SaTC2 yesterday and see which other castmembers were spotted on the fictional red carpet of this fictional movie premiere featured in the film …

John Mayer, Twitter aficionado extraordinaire, gave an interview to MTV and talked at some length about how he can totally understand why popstar Miley Cyrus would feel the need to delete her Twitter account. While Mayer makes it very clear that he would never let anyone force him to quit Twitter (saying he would rather tell the world to “eat [his] asshole” before he’d delete his account) he also says he can identify and can understand why she would choose to. Here is a pic of BFFs John Mayer and Miley Cyrus posing together a few years ago and some excerpts from his interview with MTV:

Nearly two weeks after Miley Cyrus quit Twitter, John Mayer sounds off what he has in mind about her abrupt departure from the micro-blogging site. To MTV News the rock singer shares, “I think she’s smart enough to realize there is some interference of the brain that she doesn’t want to deal with. Artists have enough to deal with.” “She’s a child, she’s a fantastic artist – I think there’s enough mental real estate being taken up by dealing with all of that stuff,” John continues stating. “For whatever reason, I am old enough and smart enough to tell someone to go fuck themselves if they tell me to go fuck myself. I think if you’re in Miley’s situation, it might take a little too much time to play goalie for your own heart and mind. So I totally get it.” “Miley is somebody who’s made a bunch of money doing something she loves. Most people do things they hate, for less money. If somebody can re-purpose something that somebody loves doing for a lot of money, in order to make a little bit of that money, they’re gonna do it,” John goes on explaining. “So nobody hates Miley Cyrus; they’re just picking up on her brand, re-purposing it, to try to make a little bit of Miley cash. It’s damaging people’s minds. Imagine Shannen Doherty with a Twitter account, back in the ‘90210′ days. That would’ve just flat-out killed her.” Asked if he has ever thought of deleting his Twitter account, John jokingly tells MTV News, “I would rather tell the world to eat my asshole before I would delete my Twitter account.” Miley Cyrus deleted her Twitter account in a sudden on Wednesday, October 7 and provided no single explanation for fans. She later on released a YouTube video in which she rapped her reason for quitting the popular social networking site, citing the need for privacy.

HMMM … when Mayer says that Miley is a child, he is absolutely correct … I don’t know that I agree with much more, tho. It’s very clear that he is a big Twitter lover (in fact, it is reported that his fervent tweeting is what killed his relationship with Jennifer Aniston earlier this year) and it’s obvs that he loves talking about it as much as possible. I love that John is sticking up for Miley Cyrus tho … in the grand scheme of life it’s such a non-issue but to have John Mayer chime in with his $0.02 makes all the difference in the world.

First we learned that Miley Cyrus, reportedly on the advice of her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, decided that she needed to quit Twitter and delete her official Twitter profile … Then we heard the impassioned plea from her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, begging her (as “a light in the world of darkness”) to reactivate her Twitter account to satisfy her legion of fans (ie. the kiddies who shell out their parents’ hard earned money for her CDs, DVDs, movie & concert tickets, etc.) and return to Twitter. Now, in her final act of defiance, Miss Miley posted a hastily put-together music video for a rap song titled Good-Bye Twitter in order to explain to her fans why she quit Twitter and why she won’t be coming back. Here are a few screencaps from her vid:

OK, so she’s no threat to LL Cool J or Eminem or even T-Pain, but Miley Cyrus knows how to rap a little bit in a corny-cool old-school style and she knows how to milk a moment like nobody’s business. As we reported yesterday, Miley pulled the plug on her Twitter account and now she spills the deets to the beats. A sample:

So what if she’s a Twitter quitter, we’re not bitter. Hey, are those backup dancers, or just her babysitters? Peace-out!

Ugh … this girl … well, I guess she’s just bein’ Miley. I do applaud her tactic … blasting the “lame blogs” by posting an even lamer rap video (with mis-synced vocals, really?) is surely the way to get your point across. In case you still care, you can watch this video in full after the jump — just please don’t blame me for the 1 minute and 46 seconds of your life you’ll never get back …

Welp … I got some bad news for followers of Miley Cyrus on Twitter. It turns out that the mini-poplet has decided to delete her official Twitter account after receiving counsel from her rumored boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. Miley, who was a pretty heavy Twitter user up until last night, had been posting tweets all week along about how she wished she could fall in love with the Walt Disney cartoon princes while she watched Disney animated film after Disney animated film (tho, I sincerely doubt she was referring to THIS incarnation of the Disney princes) and then suddenly last night she quit Twitter altogether. Here are screencaps that show Miley’s last Twitter message before her account went Dunzo! and a cap of her Twitter page that shows it has been deleted:

Miley Cyrus goes mia from the Twitter world. The teen sensation is reported to have deleted her account after being asked by her rumored boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, who apparently doesn’t have his own account. At the time of writing, Miley’s Twitter can’t be opened. “Sorry, the page doesn’t exist,” read the announcement put on her account. Miley’s last tweet before her Twitter goes inactive read, “FYI Liam doesn’t have a twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason.” Official statement is yet to be made by Miley herself or her people regarding the report. Liam also hasn’t addressed the matter.

For the record, I only know about Miley’s tweets this week because I followed her account for, uh, work purposes … yeah, that’s it … work purposes. LOL!! Well, if anything can be gleaned from the abrupt end of her Twitter communication with fans it’s that she really did seem to confirm that she and Liam Hemsworth are “going out” or at the very least are “very close friends”. In all honesty, Miley really didn’t provide much entertainment value to Twitter … so I won’t miss her … but I’m sure there are legions of Miley fans who are this morning crying tears of loss into their Jonas Brothers pillowcases.

HMMMM … when last we saw Miley Cyrus and her new beau Liam Hemsworth out in public they were snapped doing a bit of snogging at an airport in Nashville, TN last month … and it would appear that the couple who maintain that they are “just friends” are still goin’ strong. Here are a few pics of Liley trying to make a clandestine exit from the movie theater together last weekend in SoCal lookin’ very much together:

To be honest, I think they make a cute couple … sure Liam isn’t quite as hawt as Justin Gaston is but, meh, I guess he’ll do for now. I’m actually surprised that Liley are still together one month after they got caught kissing in public … little Miss Miley is a bit of a boyeater, I don’t expect they’ll last much longer. She is about to hit the road for a new tour so I’m sure Liam’s days of being Miley’s boyfriend are numbered. Hope he enjoys it while it lasts.
