Today, November 23rd, is Miley Cyrus’s 17th birthday. It seems like only yesterday she was just starting out on Hannah Montana, and look at her now: several hit albums, a new movie on the way, a Sex and the City cameo, concert tours, photo shoots, interviews, international super-stardom and even a stalker or two.

So happy birthday, Miley. Enjoy your cake and don’t forget the little guys.

A quick Google News search for Miley Cyrus today yields several results from frustrated bloggers and news sources. Apparently, Miley Cyrus is NOT a fan of the Twilight series, including the new, just-opened film “New Moon.” And apparently, some people think Miley is out of line to judge a movie she hasn’t seen.

“I’ve never seen it and nor will I ever,” Miley said in a recent radio interview. “I don’t believe in it. “I don’t like vampires. … I don’t like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I’m watching my TV at night. I don’t like it.” She went on to say, “I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it.”

So apparently, as the world is aglow with New Moon fever today, not everybody is on board. Miley admits that the anti-Twilight sentiment is a lonely road for a teenage girl to travel. “I feel really lame because everyone’s, like, so excited,” she said. “I’m like, ‘Don’t even talk about it.’”

But she’s not completely alone. Selena Gomez also recently expressed her indifference toward the Twilight series. Selena said on The Bonnie Hunt Show, “I don’t watch them,” adding, “Sorry, I feel bad … even though I am a teenager.”

Nevertheless, ‘Twilight: New Moon’ opens today, and you can bet it will be a smash hit.

They grow up so fast. Once the perky little Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus is now taking on a decidedly more grown-up role. Based on the bestseller by Nicholas Sparks (of ‘The Notebook’ fame), ‘The Last Song’ features Miley as the frustrated offspring of a divorced mother and father, sent to spend the summer with the dad she barely knows. It’s a Nicholas Sparks story, so you can bet there will be plenty of emotion and some profound life lessons, as well as attractive people making out on a beach (seemingly a staple of Sparks films).

Anyway, you can now check out the official trailer for the film, which also stars Greg Kinnear and Liam Hemsworth. It hits theaters in April, so you’ll have to be patient, but you can bet it will be a huge hit.

Demi Lovato has just finished taping her appearance on George Lopez’s late night talk show Lopez Tonight, and she’s in good company, appearing alongside actor Charlie Sheen and rock legend Slash (of Guns & Roses and Velvet Revolver fame).

Demi tweeted of her excitement about being in such illustrious company, saying “Am I really in the same room with Charlie Sheen, George Lopez and SLASH?!?” Well, with a new music video, a hit TV show and a successful new album (not to mention the upcoming Camp Rock sequel), Demi should have plenty to talk about. So be sure to check it out tonightat 11/10 central on TBS.

Actress Debby Ryan, who you may know as Cole Sprouse’s love interest Bailey Pickett on the popular Disney sitcom Suite Life on Deck, has launched her very own music blog. Debby has expressed her passione about music in a video she made for her fans, as well as in recent tweets promoting the new blog.

She chose the name “Debby Ryan’s Underground Musicblog” after going back and forth with several possible names. In a tweet from November 8th, she wrote “A couple people said Melo-Debby and DebBeats. I like acronyms too. What about DRUM? [Debby Ryan's Underground Musicblog] ?”

So far the blog is thin on content, but it’s extremely well written and still very new, so be sure to check it out and add it to your bookmarks. With artist info, interviews, videos and more, this site definitely shows a lot of potential.

The Internet is abuzz with rumors about the sad, untimely fate of Disney celebrity and pop superstar Miley Cyrus, star of Hannah Montana and icon to so many tween girls.

But the thing is…she’s not actually dead. Everyone can take a deep breath and rest easy, because there is no validity to the bizarre and seemingly random rumor. Miley is on tour and as healthy as an ox. These types of rumors tend to make their way across the Internet from time to time…celebrities once rumored to be dead include Sinbad, Natalie Portman and Steve from Blues Clues. It’s hard to say how these rumors get started, but it’s worth nothing that according to some sources including Examiner.com, Miley actually was in a car accident a few days ago, but was uninjured. That may be the source of the rumor.

So don’t believe everything you hear. Miley is fine, Walt Disney did not freeze his head, and Buzz Lightyear is still just a toy (not a real star commander).

Miley Cyrus…you know she’s very talented when it comes to singing, acting and juggling two identities, but what about dating?

Apparently not so much. Miley told ContactMusic that dating is not exactly her forte. “Oh, I’m not really good at dating,” she said. “The whole game often ends with a broken heart. And I really know how much a broken heart hurts. I wouldn’t do that to anyone.”

She went on to say, “It’s frustrating. Whenever I want to be alone with a boy the paparazzi follow us. Sometimes I would like to wear a wig – like Hannah Montana. Then I’d have a more private life for sure.“

So who is Miley dating now? She insists that “there’s no dude” and that she doesn’t have time for a serious relationship, but she has recently been romantically linked with 19-year-old actor Liam Hemsworth. Previously she dated model Justin Gatson and singer/actor Nick Jonas, of Jonas Brothers fame.

What do Miley Cyrus, Yasmine Bleeth and Austin Powers have in common? Well, besides the fact that they all enjoy exposing themselves, they have all appeared in ‘Got Milk’ ads. And now, Demi Lovato is joining the ranks as well (but hopefully she doesn’t enjoy exposing herself quite so much as the other examples).

Demi recently shot her ‘Got Milk’ ad to encourage the consumption of milk as a healthy and nutritious part of a balanced diet (oh God, I sound like a cereal commercial). Says Demi, “On stage I get my energy from my fans. Off stage I dive into a glass of lowfat milk. The protein and other nutrients keep me rocking. Here we go again!”

Demi’s appearance in the ad is part of the ‘Body by Milk’ campaign, which specifically encourages young people to consume the popular beverage. The ‘Got Milk’ campaign is not without its controversy however. Animal rights groups like PETA and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine have criticized the ads for misleading the public, arguing that dairy products are detrimental to people’s health.

Still, you have to love Demi Lovato crowd-surfing with a milk moustache. It sure is better than having to watch that White Gold clown.

Well kids, it’s finally here. Ms. Lovato has been tweeting about the video for weeks, sharing her excitement about the recording process, and Disney has teased fans with five-second clips revealing only tiny snippets of the wonder that is ‘Remember December.’ And now, finally, you can see the video for yourself in its entirety.

There’s no denying that the new Demi Lovato video is a complete visual spectacle, with some incredible art direction and breathtaking scenery. Plus, Demi herself is very beautiful to look at, and it’s just a ridiculously catchy song, with a powerfully infectious rock chorus and some awesome 80’s-reminiscent synth work (I dare you not to dance). So all around, I would say that this was absolutely worth the wait.

So watch the video for yourself and feel free to share your thoughts.

As you know, today is Veterans Day here in the U.S. Perhaps you spent it with family, friends, at Starbucks or even at work (for those of us unlucky enough to be working while our friends are out having fun!), but today is the day when we honor those who have served in the U.S. armed forces.

In the spirit of this fine Veterans Day, a few of your favorite Disney stars sent shout-outs to the troops via Twitter.
