According to the special on Barbara Walters a while back - she sent in her audition, Disney said no they wanted someone older - Miley was persistant and finally won the role. The role of the father had not been cast so Billy Ray decided to audition for it...Of course he got it because the *chemistry* was right between them!

Its not like he went in and they really wanted Mylie and he said no beans unless he's on board too. They both worked hard auditioned and it worked out well for them.

You really think Billy Ray Cyrus just showed up for the audition of 'Hannah Montana'? 'Dad??? Omigod, what are you doing here?' Sounds like a great piece of folklore.

They weren't upset when they saw the photos before they were in the magazine. But now they're upset that the photos are out there? Hmm pretty hypocritical if you ask me. And once again kids in this country have to deal with someone who might not be a role model. Can we please for once have someone out there that kids can look up to?
Originally Posted By dshyates "Come on, people. You really think Billy Ray Cyrus just showed up for the audition of 'Hannah Montana'?" Actually yeah, I do. Sacha Baron Cohen auditioned for Sweeney Todd at open auditions. I don't think it was in anyway a surprise to Mylie he was there as they probably ran lines prior to his audition. And I don't believe at that point Disney had any predisposition to do Billy Ray any real favors like just give him a role on TV. I would say for the most part Disney would be disinclined to put the parent of the shows star on the project.

And what was Mylie doing prior to these photos that made her so admirable? Hocking product for Disney? And I believe the contrition on her behalf is disingenous at best.

Originally Posted By dshyates "And I'm sure that Helena Bonham Carter did too" Actually she did. At least according to the extra features on the DVD. Not only did she have to audition for Tim, but she had to audition in front of Sondheim who had final cut on the casting.

What's Sondheim gonna say -- 'Your wife's voice sucks?'

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>Tim Burton: 'Honey! -- Omigod, what are you doing here!!?'<< LOL!!! The only thing that makes it better is imagining him wearing a hat when he sees her and it goes flying up in the air.
Originally Posted By barboy "The next time your wife puts on lipstick tell her her face is sexy like a baboon butt. See how quick you get laid." LOL, Actually, I have never said that to her but I have asked her rhetorically: "you do know deep down what accentuating women's lips with red/dark red/purple/rose lipstick and lip enlargement via injections symbolize don't you?...... They symbolize ***aroused*** female genitalia" It's all done in good fun and teasing and we both laugh. In fact it's kind of a running joke with us. But this is fine because we are adults and we are dealing with adult themes. Now, that overtly sexual pose by a 15 year old is wholly inappropriate, and Miley, the parents and VF are blameworthy. Just what in the world are they trying to prove by that stunt---it is flat out is disgusting. Interesting to note that a 12 year old running around completely nude having fun at a beach or pool can be appropriate but that pose while not showing any "privates" per se is way out of line. There is a proper context for everything. (And again nobody wants to address that flagrant attempt at overtly accentuating her lips by the use of blue and grey hues in the backdrop) Anyway, dsh if you see it differently then no problem---- we're still cool and I respect your position.

If I have offended any one I am sorry and would have no problem with it if ADMIN would like to delete the post.
