Miley Cyrus Grows Up In "The Last Song"

Miley Cyrus, today's premiere teenage pop icon, will be saying goodbye to her adolescence image anytime soon.

In the upcoming film "The Last Song," the 16 year-old Disney superstar (who will be celebrating her 17th birthday next week) will do serious acting.


"The Last Song" portrays Miley Cyrus as the 17 year-old daughter of divorced parents who is sent to spend the summer at her father's beach house. She is a gifted pianist like her dad, but she doubts following in his footsteps. Not much of a grown-up role, really, but it will be the teen star's first movie to get a PG rating (except, of course, for her cameo in R-rated "Sex and the City 2").

With $1 billion talent fee for the "Hannah Montana" franchise, Miley Cyrus is no doubt the highest paid teenager in Hollywood. And that is because she plays the adolescent Disney star.

But with the coming of "The Last Song" in April 2010, Miley Cyrus enters into professional adulthood. How would the audiences respond to her grown-up role?

We'll learn more of that in 2010. Today, we can watch "The Last Song" official trailer:

Miley Cyrus aka Hanna Montana's Memoir And Upcoming Film

The popular teenage actor and commercial model and the well-loved star of Disney Channel's Hanna Montana, Miley Cyrus, will be writing a memoir of her young life which is about to be released next spring.

Sorry folks! But the young star Miley Cyrus is about to write her own memoirs ahead of many older actors.

The Disney Book Group, in partnership with Walt Disney Co., has world rights to the book. Disney said the memoirs of Cyrus will feature many unseen photos, family stories and "a look at her inner circle of loved ones.” The book will focus particularly on the guidance of Cyrus' mother, Leticia.

Success really came early for Cyrus Miley. Her top-rating TV show Hanna Montana is due for blackbuster release. Currently, casting calls have been posted for the Hanna Montana film.

Way to go, girl!
