Miley Cyrus gets $4 million contract for ghostwritten autobiography

The news came out in April that 15 year-old Miley Cyrus was planning to “write” an autobiography, one she claims will “let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me,” and “inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.” It was said around that time that Miley received a seven figure deal for the book, and now In Touch has the exact number that was paid to little Miley for a book that will consist of someone else’s interpretation of an interview with her. She will get $4 million dollars, which will make her autobiography the most expensive book for Disney ever:

In Touch can exclusively reveal that Miley ended up with a $4 million contract – Disney’s most expensive one-book deal of all time! And Miley won’t have to write one word of her memoir! “Everyone was amazed at how they’re pandering to her, especially since this supposed ‘autobiography’ will come from an interview with Miley to be written up by a ghostwriter,” reveals the insider.

[From In Touch, print edition, October 27, 2008]

It’s sure to be a bestseller and you can see how Miley can command that kind of money, even if it seems inexplicable to us older folks. If Disney is putting out the book they can control what kind of image they’re projecting of Miley – even if they can’t control her.

Miley was spotted in the front row at the Christian Audiger show where her boyfriend, 20 year-old model Justin Gaston, walked the catwalk. She made ridiculous faces at him and licked her lips while he blew kisses at her and winked. It’s also said that they “were all over each other backstage.” At least Miley’s mom was there. Miley was overheard saying at a party afterwards that she was going to go stay over at Justin’s house that night. Her rep denied that, saying that she went home with her mom.

Miley’s dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, has said that he approves of her 20 year-old boyfriend and that he reminds him of himself at a young age.

    And this autobiography consists of what? “I was born to a mullet-headed one-hit country wonder, was potty-trained without incident, lost my milk teeth at the usual age, and, like, totally did some stuff and got paid a lot and people totally know who I am! Isn’t my life so cool?” ?

  2. Christina says:

    man this girl scares me about having children… how is she so sexual at 15?

  3. Baholicious says:

    I don’t know Christina, but it may have something to do with her not being able to keep her tongue in her head.

  4. Jenna says:

    Who would read it? I mean half the people who are fans of hers aren’t even capable of reading really well. Unless she uses her talk “Oh meee Gawd. I gots some cowboy boots! lolomglmao!”

    I just thought of something. Does that mean that she’ll really include how she lost her virginity to that Jonas kid? Or possibly sooner? It’ll be BS if she doesn’t put that in there when it’s supposed to be an autobiography. Wait… Ew. Scratch that. 😕

  5. Diva says:

    I stayed on Miley’s side as long as I could. I don’t think she’s without talent, I like her voice at times and I think it’s going to get better as she gets older, but, man, she is bugging the F U C K out of me. Is that tongue thing supposed to be SEXY? REALLY??? It looks like one of her inner organs is popping out of her mouth. ugh.

  6. Roni says:

    Amen Carrie,

    As I stated before, I would whoop my daughter’s ass! I don’t play that shit, first of all, I wouldn’t have let this “relationship” go as far as it appears to have gone! The parent’s need their asses beat too! There’s NOTHING cute about a 15 year old going out with a 20 year old and you can’t tell me that she hasn’t had sex with him! IF, I caught my daughter, licking her tongue out at anything other than a frinking SCHOOL BOOK I would knock her damn tongue right out of her fast-ass head! But hell, that’s just me…you can’t tell me this skank won’t be pregnant by the time her ass is 21 (or better yet 18). I blame the parents I don’t care what you say and she’s also too young to have a “best-friend” in her early twenties! There is something WRONG with this picture! BRING IT ON NAYSAYERS!

  7. Syko says:

    Is that her mom sitting there while she attempts to lick her eyebrows?

    If this was my kid, she’d never leave the house. She’s too young to be behaving this way. More astonishing than her behavior, though, is her parents’ acceptance and approval of it. Disgusting.

  8. Roni says:

    Yeah Syko,

    That’s her dumbass ass mom sitting beside her! If that was my child I wouldn’t be there enabling this relationship. Her ass would be at home with me…on punishment!

  9. Murmur says:

    She’s a dirty slut and proud of it. So are her parents apparently.

  10. rules says:

    Even though she lives in California now, she is from eastern KY, it’s a very backwoods area. People from that area have a very different idea of what is acceptable behavior……

  11. Dee says:

    I wonder what’s wrong inside Justin’s head to make him think that dating a 15-year-old is alright.

    As for Billy Ray commending them, he’s just a creepy nut. But I’m surprised Tish hasn’t said anything on it.

  12. Codzilla says:

    Dee: Any rational thoughts that may have been generated in Justin’s head have all been replaced by dollar signs.

  13. aleach says:

    ew her parents gross me out more than she does.
    of course when i was 15, i thought older boys were hot and we all wanted to “date” them…but 20 years old?? ew! my parents DEF would NOT allow it…but i guess i wasnt making them millions of dollars either so… 🙄

  14. brista says:

    I really, really hope that something disastrously scandalous erupts from her life soon so she can be banned and rejected from our radios and TV screens, then fade away into obscurity. Eventually, she’ll fritter away her money or else her parents will do it for her, and then in 2024, she’ll be mentioned periodically on VH1’s pop culture shows. Other than a brief “Where Are They Now?” segment, we’ll never hear from her (or her daddy) again.

  15. caffie says:

    Can I make $4 million, too? Here’s her biography:
    “Born in a dinky little town called Flatwoods where everything is on a hilltop. Daddy became famous over one song. Daddy forced her into showbiz because he lost his chance. Now everyone is sick of looking at her.”

    Okay. Please send me my check now.

  16. pk says:

    I have a 16 year old son. If I had a daughter instead, I sure a hell would NOT let her behave like this. No way. Her parents are begging for her to pull a JL Spears! They should be investigated by childrens services, it is a FELONY, that 20 year old perv should be in jail, not catwalking! Kids being kids and sneaking around is one thing, but the parents encouraging it is just wrong. And again, if I had a teenage daughter, I would never allow anything Miley/Hannah into my home. She is horrid.

  17. vdantev says:

    She’s a pure virginal child of Christ if ever I saw one. 🙄

  18. Flourpot says:

    Yet another child being brought up in Hollylwood with no parental controls. wth is wrong with parents in Hollywood??? It’s gotta be the air in LA. Scummy.

  19. chick says:

    if i were 15 and trying desperately to be all grown up and sexy, i’d probably look as foolish as Miley does.

    that said, Billy Ray is too busy riding the coattails of his daughter’s popularity to give a crap. and the mother seems to behave and is treated as if she is a nitwit sister. Britney part deux.

  20. smit33 says:

    Her net worth makes everything she does acceptable. Hell if my kid brings in this kind of money I will buy them their own home and let them move in together. Unfortunately back in in the real world I would kick her ass so hard, lock her up and throw away the key. She still needs to play with Malibu Barbie.

  21. Jaclyn says:

    What an unflattering picture! She looks hideous….well, she’s not so pretty to begin with anyway.

  22. Jaclyn says:

    Oh, by the way, Miley really needs to change those ratty hair extensions. Yuck!

  23. philip Belcher says:

    I think most of u people are jealouis. And if u follerd her as u say u will note she has strict guidelines, Right now she is playing a game most of you can’t, And i am sure her father is watching, he said the boy reminds him of him self geesh pay ateetion u morons.

  24. alexis says:

    Philip you might want to learn to spell before you post. And, obviously you are too young to have learned that you do not believe what you read. Do you think that what you read is all fact about her parents’ strict guidelines? Words are words – watch her actions and see her parents do NOTHING!!

  25. susan says:

    I think its all due to how the parents raised her. like her dad is no angel! and the stepmother is no virgin!you cant find a nut wihtouT acorn TREE close by!
