And The Books She Read And The Books That She Said She Read

Miley Cyrus has signed a seven-figure deal to write her memoirs.

Stories probably not in the book:
Nights on the town with Shannen Doherty and Tara Reid
Paying a hobo outside the venue to get her "medicine"
An Eiffel Tower with the Jonas Brothers

Tori Spelling's recent book had tales of partying hard, sleeping with "everyone" on "90210" and having bitchy fights with her mom. Again, these are topics probably not in Miley Cyrus memoirs.

No, she's a little too squeaky clean for that. The announcement comes the same week that "scandalous" photos of here appeared on the Internet, though, in which she pulls down her shirt to reveal a bra, and of her wearing just a bra and underwear while on the lap of some guy.

That's a little creepy, what with her being 15. I don't have a comment on her, but on all the people who've accosted me about her. Whenever I've said I thought the show was corny or the ticket prices were obnoxious, there's always been some Hannah Montana apologist there to say, "You have to admit, she's a good role model for young girls."

I have some problems with that statement:
1. Whether or not she's good for kids is irrelevant to whether I think the show is corny
2. Overpriced tickets are overpriced tickets whether it's her or someone else
3. "You have to admit*" is not a way to phrase any argument you're about to make

*Unless, of course, you're talking about my idea about a movie in which old ladies turn toward each other when the men are all dead. "Kissing Jessica Stein" for an older set: "Kissing Jessica Tandy."

Such a good point about "You have to admit...". Go you, being all smart.
