Despite the lightening speed that this rumor is circulating around the internet, fifteen-year-old Miley Cyrus is NOT dead.
The rumor, started as a hoax on both Digg and Wikipedia, reports that Miley Cyrus, the infamous singer and Hannah Montana TV series star, died in a tragic and fatal car accident on Friday, September 5.
As of Saturday morning, no such event had been reported by any mainstream news organization, and the story is being called a hoax. Several sources close to the young actress say, "The report is simply not true."
In fact, Miley Cyrus is currently filming her latest movie project "Hanna Montana: The Movie", due in theaters next May, a story that picks up when Hannah Montana's popularity begins to take over her life, and Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus), on the urging form her father (Billy Ray Cyrus) taken a trip to her hometown of Crowley Corners, Tennessee to get some perspective on what matters in life the most.
Cyrus has also just completed work on the animated family comedy "Bolt" due this November.
In "Bolt", Cyrus takes the starring role of Penny, opposite John Travolta and Nick Swardson, in the story about a German Shepherd (Travolta), who has lived his whole life on the set of his action TV show, where he believes he has superpowers. When separated from the studio by accident, he meets a cat and a hamster named Rhino, and learns that he doesn't have superpowers and that the show is not realistic.
Rumors have been swirling for months that teen sensation Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, are no longer happy with their deal with Disney, and that they want out of their "Hanna Montana" contract.
In fact, they have both mentioned publicly that they are ready to wind down the show and start focusing on their respective singing and movie careers.
But there is only one problem. They have a contract.
But reports are surfacing on the tabloid site TMZ that both Miley and Billy Ray have started a war on the set, and that people around them are not happy - especially Disney. Reports of showing up extremely late, infighting among the cast and crew, and Miley telling everyone she is trying to get fired seem to be fueling the fire.
Apparently there is a difference in their contracts fine print if they get fired rather than quit. Billy Ray has been telling anyone who will listen that there is way more money in a singing and touring career then in a Disney cable network family comedy.
TMZ also reported that Emily Osment, who portrays Lilly Truscott on the show, is so angry at Miley that she looks away from the actress after each scene is over, and that her dad got in a shouting match with Billy Ray, complaining that Miley was acting unprofessional.
Sources told the tabloid that Billy Ray has told people on the set that he and Miley will only do twelve more episodes and then they want out. Disney Executives are so upset with the Cyrus duo that they called their agent, accusing Billy Ray and Miley of being unthankful, and insisting that Billy Ray and Miley not only finish the twenty-four episode season due on their contract, but an addition six episodes to boot.
There has been no official word by Disney or the Cyrus camp, but we suspect this will not end amicably. Disney may have a hard time letting go of the millions of dollars that could be lost by winding down the show early.
In addition to filming her latest film "Hanna Montana: The Movie" due next May, Miley is finishing work on the animated family comedy "Bolt", with John Travolta due this November 21.
The film is the story of Bolt (John Travolta), a German Shepherd, who has lived his whole life on the set of his action TV show where he stars with Penny (Miley Cyrus), and believes he has superpowers. When separated from the studio by accident, he meets Mr. Mittens (Susie Essman) and a hamster named Rhino. Along the way, Bolt learns that he doesn't have superpowers and that the show is not realistic.
Billy Ray is also appearing in the "Hanna Montana" movie, and has just completed the family musical "Flying By" due next year starring opposite Heather Locklear. The film tells the story of a real estate developer who goes to his 25th high school reunion without his wife, and finds his old teenage band playing. They get him up on stage for a couple of songs, and convince him to come to a rehearsal - and join the band. His wife is outraged, his daughter thinks it's cool, and his Mother encourages him to enjoy life and go for it.
Didn't we just see that movie with Rainn Wilson in "The Rocker?" _
Pop singer Miley Cyrus was rushed by a crazed fan during her “Gypsy Heart” tour in Melbourne Australia last night.
She had just finished her popular song “The Climb” when a crazed fan jumped on the stage and attempted to grab Miley.
Fortunately, security guards ran to her aid and pulled the female fan away from Cyrus and threw her off the stage. Ouch!
Miley was visibly shaken and can be heard saying “Oh my God…” when the fan was grabbed by security.
The attack is at the end of the video…

Miley’s troubles come just a day after another young pop star, Justin Bieber, was attacked at an event on Harold Square in New York City while doing press for his new perfume “Someday.”
Some reports say it was a miscommunication among off-duty security guards but some eyewitnesses say a man charged Bieber and attacked him before being subdued by security.
No if we could just get somebody to attack Lady Gaga and knock her down a peg or two – where’s Chris Brown when you need him?
Saturday Night Live scored big last night with guest host Miley Cyrus, in what may go down as one of best shows of the year.
After a good opening monologue where Cyrus belted out a song about how she hit the bong and wasn’t perfect, she partnered with SNL cast member Vanessa Bayer for the “Miley Cyrus Show”.
Bayer did a spot-on impression of Miley, and welcomed her first guest – Justin Bieber, played by Cyrus. It was great.
Miley, as Justin Bieber, parodied Bieber’s hair flip, wink, swag, dress, and finger pointing routines. Cyrus also tells Bieber that she had smoked salvia and he (she) says there isn’t anything wrong with it because it’s legal.
Justin Bieber does "The Miley Cyrus Show" on SNL - 2013
Pop singer Justin Bieber tried out his comedy skills on Saturday Night Live last night (2/9/13).
Bieber was not only the musical guest but also participated in several of the skits including “The Californians", The Miley Cyrus Show, and a funny Valentine's Day sketch.
Bieber’s opening monolog was pretty funny. It showed him looking for his next girlfriend in the audience while handing out roses and facts about February’s Black History Month… kind of.
Justin Bieber kicked off season 9 of MTV’s recharged “Punk’d” prank show Thursday night and showed us all why he is the master prankster!
The full season 9 episode one video is at the bottom of this post and the individual prank highlights are also below.
Bieber first went after his friend Taylor Swift by having her shoot off fireworks from a Malibu beach house. The fireworks accidentally landed on a boat where a wedding was taking place and the boat caught on fire ruining the wedding.
The participants swam ashore and were none too happy with Taylor, Bieber, and Ryan Good for causing the mishap.

Bieber’s next prank was supposed to be on Fantasy Factory guru Rob Dyrdek but the prank fell apart when Dyrdek realized what was going on and called out a rat.
Watch – “We have a problem” punk with Bieber and Dyrdek
After Dyrdek foiled the initial prank he teamed with Bieber to re-punk Justin’s friend Sean Kingston.
The deal was Kingston was to meet with Justin and Rob at a swanky Hollywood restaurant to discuss a charity project when a couple at the table next to them started to argue. The women got up and left - only to return by driving her car into the restaurant!
Watch Sean Kingston getting Punk’d by Justin Bieber
Bieber’s final punk was on Miley Cyrus. This was probably the cutest one because Bieber turned the table on Miley and actually Punk’d HER instead of her punking him!
Miley arrived on location for what she thought was going to be a prank on Justin Bieber by having some tough guys badmouth the Bieb’s when he arrived at on office building.
But Bieber turned the tables by getting aggressive and beating up one of the guys and then disappeared. While Miley was freaking out, Bieber snuck around back to tell her “I can NEVER be Punk’d”. By the look on her face you can tell Cyrus was blown away and was not expecting it!

We are really glad MTV decided to bring this show back.
Ashton Kutcher plays the role of Executive Producer so you don’t get to see him on screen but the music, format, and style of the new show is the same and we love it.
Watch Punk’d Season 9 Episode 1 - Full Episode
You can visit the MTV Punk’d website for promos of the upcoming shows and from what we see it looks like this is going to be a great season.
With his new single “Boyfriend” trending at #1 on iTunes, a new album “Believe” in the works, and a summer tour coming up – we think Bieber is hitting on all cylinders right now!
Once the darling of Disney with her cute smile and famous father, the singer was the classic all American Girl.
Her show “Hannah Montana” portrayed her as a pure and wholesome teen struggling through the life of fame, and her movies are all family orientated and kid friendly.
Well, we all know how that worked out.
She has been seen sliding down a stripper pole, grinding the crotch of her manager, smoking a bong and tripping on salvia, and who can forget the Vanity Fair photos of her and her dad in some unusual family poses.
But Cyrus is a big girl now and is currently on the road with her “Can’t Be Tamed” tour, and last week in Ecuador she paid homage to Curt Kobain and the grunge era by singing “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.

Miley said she has a lot of fans ask her who inspired her to become an actress and singer, so she decided to perform songs from people who had inspired her to follow her dreams.
Did you hear that Courtney Love? It’s not too late.
Just when you thought celebrity product endorsement could not get any stranger - it has.
Miley Cyrus and the brains at Disney have decided to promote both the Hannah Montana brand and the Cherry industry at the same time.
We're not joking. "Hannah Montana" cherries are coming to a store near you! Disney has created the brand of "Hannah Montana" cherries featuring Miley Cyrus along with her "Hannah Montana: The Movie" persona.
Two years ago, Disney started branding its stars and movies with only healthy foods and ended ties with traditional outlets like McDonald's.
With all the nude, semi-nude, and suggestive photos that have been leaked to the net, and now a pole dancing appearance on the Teen Choice Awards, does it really make since to tie Miley Cyrus to cherries?
What's next? Michael Vick Dog Treats. Sometimes you just have to wonder about this industry. _
Back in November 2009, Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun was arrested at New York’s Roosevelt Field Mall for not cancelling a performance before the crowed grew unruly.
Almost 3,000 Bieber fans had shown up to see the singer perform when police were called to control the crowd.
Braun was told to cancel the performance and use Twitter to tell the fans to disperse.
Police cancelled the event but not after 5 people were injured and Braun had been arrested on charges of reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance.
The next day, Bieber was seen sporting a t-shirt with the slogan “Free Scooter”.
Today, Scooter and Bieber’s record label Island Def Jam agreed to plead guilty on one count of violating a county safety ordinance. A rep commented,
“Basically they are just trying to settle the case and make it go away. It is water under the bridge and was only a moderate safety infraction. This way both sides can move on and put this issue behind them. After reviewing the case, both sides agreed things could have been handled better by everyone involved.”
Island will pay a small fine of $8,000 to settle the case and Bieber is ordered to do a PSA (Public Service Announcement) about cyber bullying.
Not bad when you consider that Bieber makes $300,000 per show, and has pulled in over $100 million dollars over the last year between his “My World” concert tour and widely successful 3D movie “Never Say never”.
For his part, Bieber is finishing his tour in Australia this week and has plans to move on to Japan later this month.
But his tour management company and stage crew have mounted a mutiny of sorts and are refusing to work in Japan due to the risk of radiation from last month’s earthquake and tsunami.
If the team can’t come to some sort of agreement soon, the May 17th and 19th shows in japan may have to be cancelled. Both Avril Lavigne and Slash have already cancelled shows at the same stadiums in Japan over health fears.
Once his tour is over later this month, Bieber plans to return to the U.S. and finish work on his third album and begin shooting his new movie with Mark Wahlberg.
Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of driving while impaired. The actress was pulled over while driving near Santa Barbara California.
Law enforcement officers told reporters that alcohol was not involved, which means they suspect some type of drugs, and are conducting tests to determine if Locklear was under the influence.
Locklear was released on her own recognizance, without having to post bail.
News reports said on Saturday that a witness saw Locklear driving irregularly while leaving a parking lot. A California Highway Patrol officer later located her car parked on the side of the road and blocking traffic near Santa Barbara, about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
The officer believed Locklear was under the influence and arrested her.
Locklear gained television stardom appearing in the television shows "T.J. Hooker", "Dynasty", "Melrose Place" and "Spin City". Locklear will also be seen next year in the Miley Cyrus family comedy "Hannah Montana: The Movie".
She has also completed work on the musical drama "Flying By", about a real estate developer who goes to his 25th high school reunion without his wife, and finds his old teenage band playing - and joins. _
MovieFone has named Megan Fox and Michael Cera as two of the 25 Hottest Actors Under 25.
Fox, 22, topped the list thanks to her breakout role in "Transformers".
"Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" star Michael Cera also grabbed a top spot thanks to the success of starring roles in the movies "Superbad," and "Juno". Cera is also expected to return for the movie version of "Arrested Development".
"Harry Potter's" Emma Watson, age 18, also made the list.
14-year-old Dakota Fanning made the cut, helped be her upcoming role in "The Secret Life of Bees" with Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys, and the tabloid buzz surrounding her rape scene in "Hounddog" didn't hurt either.
Amanda Seyfriend was also a first timer on the list thanks to her excellent role in the movie version of the ABBA musical "Mamma Mia".
And after the success of this past weekend's box office smash hit "Eagle Eye, and his early summer role in "Indiana Jones", Shia LaBeouf's appearance on the list was a given.
Zac Efron, of "High School Musical" fame made the list for the second year in a row for not only playing "HSM's" teen idol Troy Bolton, but his upcoming roles in "Seventeen Again", and "Me and Orson Welles."
Other young stars that rounded out the Top 25 Hottest Young Actors list included:
Keira Knightley, Daniel Radcliffe, Blake Lively, Ellen Page, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Miley Cyrus, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Stone, Kristen Stewart, Anton Yelchin, Brandon T. Jackson, Olivia Thirlby, Josh Peck, Kat Dennings, Keke Palmer, Robert Pattinson, Gemma Arterton and Scarlett Johansson. _
Every now and then we run across artists on the internet that makes us wonder why we haven’t heard of them before.
Where have they been all this time? How could we have missed them?
And so it is with 18-year-old twin sisters Megan and Liz Mace.
We stumbled across them almost by accident while looking for Demi Lovato covers of “Skyscraper” - and after a bit of sleuthing, listening, reading, and talking to people we figured we needed to share their story with our readers.
Megan and Liz Mace are 18-year-old fraternal twins who were born in Indiana, grew up in Michigan, and recently moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.
They started singing when they were just two-years-old, and wrote their first original song when they were ten. Megan started learning how to play guitar when she was thirteen, and they have been making music together ever since.
Early on they became somewhat obsessed with singer Taylor Swift and quickly started covering her songs and uploading them to their YouTube channel in 2007 – and the rest is history.
Watch Megan and Liz Perform Demi Lovato “Skyscraper”
The twins quickly gained a huge following of fans that call themselves “Macers”, and as of today have over 88 million YouTube views.
They have even been on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Contacted by the show’s producers to talk about appearing on a later show, the unsuspecting twins were surprised when Oprah herself appeared on camera to talk with them.
If that wasn’t enough, Taylor Swift joined the video conference call to say “Hi” to Megan and Liz and congratulate them on their success and invite them to one of her concerts.
Their reactions are priceless…
Watch Megan and Liz on the Oprah Winfrey Show
They have even had the opportunity to meet Taylor in person saying,
“Obviously meeting Taylor Swift was a dream come true! It was almost surreal. She was just as sweet as you would expect here to be. Meeting her gave us even more respect for her!”
They were thrown into the music industry fire and honed their live performance skills last year while touring with Boyce Avenue and Tiffany Alvord - hitting up stages in San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Gainesville, and Orlando.
In 2009, Megan and Liz entered the Oxford Film Festival Singing Contest and won the opportunity to open for recording artist Savannah Outen during her concert in West Chester, Ohio.
That same year they signed a record deal with BMI Records and released their first album “All of Our Boyfriends”.
After listening to the Album, or any of their 20 original songs on iTunes, you will see why they call Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, 78Violet, and Miley Cyrus their main influences.
They also cover songs by Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Lady Antebellum, Sara Evans, Usher, Jessie J, Adele, Memphis High, Selena Gomez, P!nk, Ke$ha, Bruno Mars, and Taio Cruz.
Watch Megan and Liz Music Video for “Here I Go”
These two young ladies can really belt out a tune and their complementary vocals and harmonies are those only achieved by their sibling connection.
One of the points of this post is to show that with some good talent and a teenager’s knack for mastering social media – you can become a star.
Megan and Liz have used social media to not only profile their musical talent, they also built an official web site to give tips on beauty and fashion ideas to other teens and sell merchandize like t-shirts, necklaces, and hoodie sweatshirts.
Brilliant.
The twins currently utilize Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Formspring, iTunes, Amazon, MySpace, iLike, and Last.fm – not to mention all the personal fan sights built by others.
This is how you do it kids – forget about “Big Music” and the west coast record labels. All you need is some talent and a little bit of social media savvy.
Do it the right way and the right people will find you.
Watch Megan and Liz Cover Lady Gaga “Born This Way”
So, you would think that with all this music career stuff they wouldn’t have time for much of anything else right?
Wrong.
Both girls are still in a regular High School and both participate on the cheerleading squad as well as the tennis team. They are also considering joining the school choir.
And what about boys?
We suspect that both Meagan and Liz don’t have the time that normal high school kids have – but they still find time for boys.
In fact, their first album is called “All of Our Boyfriends”, and takes a Taylor Swift style approach where they sing about their boyfriends and lost loves.
The song “Indescribable” was written about Megan’s one time boyfriend Chris. Their fans were shocked when Megan told them she had broken up with him, and then elated when they got back together.
So, with the exception of being the next YouTube sensations and Nashville recording artists, Megan and Liz say they think they are leading pretty normal lives.
Last night during the Olympic Game Opening Ceremonies we had the opportunity to see the world premier of the new "We Are The World."
A multi-national broadcast also took place at 2:00 in over 50 countries on Saturday.
The video is well done, and young pop sensation Justin Bieber had the task of starting things off by singing the first line. Other stars joined in on queue and the end result was impressive.
More than eighty-five artists lent their talent to the three-minute video including Jennifer Hudson, Nicole Scherzinger, Sugarland, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion and Fergie. Josh Groban, LL Cool J, Nick Jonas, Lil Wayne, actor Jeff Bridges, bad guy Kanye West, Miley Cyrus and Haitian-American singer Wyclef Jean participated.
The video is introduced by Jamie Foxx who told viewers they can go to World25.com to purchase the iPhone version and to donate to the Haiti releif effort.
Pop sensation Justin Bieber recently appeared in a special edition of Us Magazine and really did let his fans into his world.
Bieber talked about playing sports in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, life on the road, and showed his fans the inside of his tour bus and his seagull tattoo.
But one picture stood out as he croons behind a microphone wearing an earring.
One reader told us, “It’s the first time I think I have ever seen him with an earring, and the pictures of his tour bus were cool!”
Another comment said, “I love his seagull tattoo. This is the first picture I have ever seen with him knowingly showing off his seagull tattoo.”
The Disney XD channel, known for its predominantly teen oriented programming, launched its latest action series called “Kickin’ It” last night - and it looks like a hit.
Or maybe we should say a “kick”.
The premise of the show revolves around two competing martial arts dojos and their attempt to recruit the hottest karate kid in town played by 14-year-old Leo Howard.
Howard, no stranger to martial arts and action flicks, finds himself in the starring role of “Jack”, the grandson of the Wasabi Warriors Karate franchise founder and master trainer.
Jack not only tries to save the Wasabi Dojo, but also tries to impress the cutest girl in the club. It’s classic teen Disney, and sure to be a hit if they give the series enough time to find an audience.
And Leo Howard’s got the moves.
In the premier episode, Howard performs a number of high performance kicks, flips, punches, and deflections – showing he is no stranger to this type of work.
And for good reason.
Leo is a champion black belt in martial arts, has been doing karate since he was 5-years-old, and is a member of the Sideswipe Performance Team – a high impact martial arts exhibition club in California.
His dad is the famous Todd Howard - also called “The Big Bulldog" who is another master of the martial arts.
Leo was born in Newport Beach California, but today lives near San Diego so he can work on his karate and television productions.
Not only is Leo Howard a Karate Master, but he also knows his way around Hollywood.
Before joining Disney, Leo got his start in a bit part on the popular TV series “Monk” playing a young karate kid.
Karate Master Leo Howard
His first movie role was in the action movie “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” with Sienna Miller, Dennis Quaid and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film told the story of an elite military unit comprised of special operatives known as G.I. Joe that takes on an evil organization led by a notorious arms dealer.
Leo has also appeared in a few high action television shows like “Children of the Corn”, “Leo Little's Big Show”, and “Zeke and Luther”.
All that practice has paid off, and now Howard is heading to the big big screen as the younger version of Conan, played by Jason Momoa, in “Conan the Barbarian” due in theaters later this year.
Conan tells the tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village.
Watch Conan the Barbarian Movie Trailer
We’re sure with Disney behind his promotion, Leo Howard and his karate skills could go on to be the next Disney teen idol.
After all, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus will be leaving the nest soon and Disney needs to keep the machine running.
It looks like Justin Bieber is pulling out all the stops for his upcoming new album “Believe”.
It has already been announced that teen pop star Cody Simpson will appear on one of Bieber’s new tracks, and now there is growing evidence that “One Direction” will also collaborate on a song.
Bieber was in the studio working on his “Believe” album Wednesday night when the boys from One Direction showed up and stayed for quite a long time.
"In the studio with our boy @justinbieber last night, it's gona sound great!"
Liam Payne confirmed the studio session by tweeiting:
"Got a first listen to Justin Bieber's new album yesterday wowww big songs!!! It's gunna be a smash”.
One Direction has been taking the world by storm and are quickly starting to cannibalize Bieber’s fan base say insiders.
“It makes since for Justin to do a duet with One Direction. There is enough great music out there and enough fans. Today’s electronic editing allows musicians to share tracks over an iPhone and then meet in a studio for a final take that is mixed down later for the final release. In the music business everybody tries to help everybody else out and the benefits go both ways for Bieber and One Direction. They share very similar fan bases and age groups. It makes perfect sense.”
Just as Justin had some amazing collaborations on his Christmas album we should expect this with “Believe”.
In fact, Bieber’s mentor Usher Raymond was also seen in the studio with the Bieb’s this week prompting JB to later tweet:
"Me and @usherraymondiv gotta have a duet on every album."
We also know Will.I.am from the “Black Eyed Peas” will be appearing on the “Believe” album and also co-produced one of the albums tracks specifically for Justin.
One Direction
Other names and collaborations to look for on the upcoming album are Timbaland, Drake, Pharrell, Lil Wayne, Ke$ha and Kanye West.
With the exception of Kanye we’re down to hear all the new music!
Bieber’s latest single “Boyfriend” has already sold more than 600,000 downloads on iTunes and is currently number two on the Billboard Top 200 charts – a first for the singer.
He is also working on a script for an upcoming movie with Mark Wahlberg and just appeared on Ashton Kutcher's revamped “Punk’d” television show on MTV heading off the season punking Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Sean Kingston.
We suspect that between the music, movies, TV shows, endorsements, merchandize, music producing, and real estate investments that the kids probably going to do all right.
The journey to stardom has already started for young crossover phenomenon Jackie Evancho.
Like they say in Hollywood, “You’re not a true celebrity until somebody makes a doll or action figure of you.”
Now, Jackie can lay claim to that very title as it has been announced that she will be releasing a new product line of dolls, merchandise, and other toys later this year.
The first item that will appear in stores will be a special collector’s edition singing Holiday doll that will play a snippet of “When You Wish Upon a Star.”
The first doll will be positioned for release along with Evancho’s recently announced Christmas album due in December 2011.
Next spring there will be more dolls and other product placements – all created by the toy company “The Bridge Direct”.
The official statement is,
This fall, The Bridge Direct will be launching a line of collectible dolls, play sets, and accessories based on singer Jackie Evancho, the “little girl with the big voice” who stunned crowds on the 2010 season of America’s Got Talent.”
The Bridge Direct is no stranger to youth toy marketing and has already developed toy brands for Sponge Bob Square Pants, Miley Cyrus’s “Hannah Montana”, The Lord of The Rings, Care Bears, Britney Spears, and Cabbage Patch Kids.
Hannah Montana
They have also created a successful line of action figures for pop singing sensation Justin Bieber that sing and talk, and come complete with various clothing items like watches, shoes, backpacks, and sunglasses.
And these toys and action figures are more than just dolls.
They come complete with a stage, microphone, music CD, various clothing selections, furniture, activity books, and musical instruments.
Most range from $12-$30 and the idea is the age old marketing tactic of “Collect them all!” with each action set sporting different clothing, furniture, gadgets, and musical selections.
Justin Bieber Figure
The Bridge specializes in not only talking and singing dolls but also stickers, wristbands, activity books, pins, patches, key chains, outdoor toys, party goods, costume jewelry, Christmas ornaments, play sets, microphones, dance items, karaoke, kids electronics, sunglasses, pillows, and clothing accessories.
Expect a large selection of merchandise for Jackie.
The Bridge has a knack for integrating various products along a brand – meaning they will launch an entire set of different toys, clothing, and personal items for a particular brand or artist.
Look for Jackie Evancho items to start rolling out later this year and timed to her Christmas album release.
And if Jackie can pull off a Grammy Award win this season then expect the pace of merchandise to accelerate.
Has teen heartthrob and pop-sensation Joe Jonas just broken the hearts of young teenage girls around the world?
The rumor mill has been in over-drive that the oldest Jonas brother is becoming romantically linked to country singer Taylor Swift - and that Joe has been showing up at her concerts!
Joe, the oldest one-third of the teen boy band "The Jonas Brothers", arrived in disguise to Taylor's concert on Sunday night at West Palm Beach Cruzan Amphitheatre, People Magazine has reported. Though he tried to hide behind a disguise by wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses, Jonas was recognized when he showed up backstage near the soundboard where he was seen hanging out with Taylor's father.
Last week, Taylor, 18, filmed a cameo appearance for the "Jonas Brothers" upcoming 3-D movie, but Swift continues to tell reporters they're just friends. But various tabloids and photographers are saying they have seen the two songsters together multiple times - sometimes just hanging out and not in a professional work setting.
Taylor Swift has completed filming her spot in the upcoming Miley Cyrus movie "Hannah Montana: The Movie" due in theaters next year, and has been signed to appear in the romantic drama "I Will Wait for You... If It Takes Forever", also due next year.
Joe Jonas was recently seen in the Disney television hit "Camp Rock", and is currently working with his brothers filming the TV series "J.O.N.A.S", where the Jonas brothers travel the country in their rickety tour bus performing shows, but what the fans don't know is that the Jonas Brothers are actually J.O.N.A.S. - Junior Operatives Networking as Spies - who, along with their secret agent dad, are under assignment from a super-secret government agency out to fight evil.
Joe Jonas has also signed on to the television move sequel "Camp Rock 2", due next year starring the Jonas Brothers and newcomer Demi Lovato as Mitchie Torres. _
Last night, Dylan and Cole Sprouse appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show and showed the world they are growing up.
The twins are now 16 years old, and talked about their recent birthday party, dating girls, and trying to get away from each other on the weekends.
Dylan admitted he dated Miley Cyrus, and detailed the events of how the date went down before Nick Jonas showed up and ruined everything.
The brothers then talked about getting their drivers licenses next month, while Kimmel quizzed the two on their upcoming driving test.
Dylan and Cole also talked about their current hit teen television show "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody", a comedy about identical twins living at the Tipton Hotel with their single mother who is a lounge singer at the hotel.
But the reason for the Kimmel appearance was to plug their new show, "The Suite Life On Deck", a spin-off of the hit Disney Channel series "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody," where the twin brothers Zack and Cody Martin and hotel heiress London Tipton enroll in a semester-at-sea program aboard a ship called the SS Tipton.
Here is a bit of InfoStar trivia - Remember the early 1990's sitcom "Grace Under Fire" starring Brett Butler? Well, Dylan and Cole Sprouse both portrayed the character Patrick Kelly for over one hundred episodes. The two looked so much alike that producers used them both during production to get around the short work hour rules for child actors.
In addition to their "Suite Life" day job, Dylan and Cole Sprouse can be seen starting December 12 in the adventure movie "The Kings Of Appletown", about three kids: Betsy (Victoria Justice), Clayton (Cole Sprouse), & Will (Dylan Sprouse) who go on an adventure to save a city by going back in time to where Tom Sawyer lived.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the richest of them all?
Forbes' annual list of the “Best-Paid Celebrities under Thirty” is out for the period of May 2010 through May 2011 – and the results will probably not surprise you.
The list covers the best paid singers, musicians, athletes, and movie stars during the twelve month period – not what they grossed, but what they put in their pocket.
Out of the twenty young celebrities, they cumulatively raked in almost $700 million dollars in paychecks during the year.
Topping the list this year is Lady Gaga with $90 million in paychecks. Most of that came from album sales and proceeds from her “Monster Ball” concerts – and maybe a few bucks from selling her translucent egg.
Justin Bieber came in second with $53 million worth of paychecks – mostly from his 150 “My World” concerts and his $100 million 3D movie “Never Say Never”. Bieber also had proceeds from fingernail polish, calendars, wrist bands, earphones, perfume, and other merchandise.
Coming in third place was NBA star LeBron James. His team may have lost last Sunday’s championship game, but his payday for the year was a modest $48 million dollars.
Other notables topping the list were Country singer Taylor Swift, tennis player Roger Federer, Katy Perry, Beyoncé Knowles, Rihanna, Carmelo Anthony, Miley Cyrus, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Carrie Underwood, and Lil' Wayne.
Looks like “Friday” singer Rebecca Black will have to wait until next year.
It just goes to show you, stay in school, stay away from drugs, and work your butt off 24 hours a day seven days a week and you too can be rich!
Despite the lightening speed that this rumor is circulating around the internet, fifteen-year-old Miley Cyrus is NOT dead.
