Miley Cyrus plans to be back on the big screen, and soon. Hannah Montana? Not likely after her latest film.
So says the 16-year-old tween phenom, whose alter ego brings her secret double life as a pop star to theaters April 10 with “Hannah Montana: The Movie.”
“We got really lucky with having the material to make one movie,” Cyrus said in an interview Monday. The film reveals Hannah Montana’s indistinguishability to the world in a way Cyrus says is “very clever” and diminishes the chances of a sequel — but doesn’t damp the future of the favourite Disney TV show.
The film follows last year’s sold-out Cyrus-Montana concert tour and her “Best of Both Worlds Concert” 3D movie, which grossed more than $60 million, a rare hit for a concert film.
“I don’t know if I would do another (Hannah Montana) film, but I would love to do another season,” said Cyrus, who’s signed up for a third and says she’s interested in a fourth. “That would be what we would all agree on.”
Cyrus also seems to agree with the intent of a jump to Hollywood: She’s planning to spend the summer working on a film written by “Nights in Rodanthe” and “The Notebook” author Nicholas Sparks. But this is no adaptation of a bestselling romantic novel — instead, Sparks went directly to the screenplay this time, and did so with Cyrus in mind for the part.
Other than the title, “The Last Song,” neither Sparks nor Cyrus are giving away any plot points. But Cyrus hints at a role that will place her acting chops to the test.
“I’ve always been lucky to play parts that relate to me, and this doesn’t at all,” she said. “I have my issues, but not as bad as this chick. So I’m happy to play someone that’s just kind of out there and not someone that I’m like.”
Like anyone else, Cyrus is inactivity to see whether she’s “a good actress or not, or if I’m just good at playing myself.
“So,” she added, “We’ll see how that goes.”
Will that affect her position as a role model for young girls? Not any more than her feelings on the glamorous life she’s chosen: Asked what kids should do if they’re torn between pursuing an acting dream or going to college, Cyrus responds with her usual unfiltered candor.
“I say ‘do it,’” she said, laughing as if she knew what kind of trouble she was causing for herself. “Be a freak. Go to Hollywood.”

Britney Spears’s dramatic turnaround from a troubled individualized life and stalled career has come with a cost of $2.7 million in legal fees, the Los Angeles Times reports.
A sizeable chunk of the total was the $417,000 price attach for legally ending her 2 ½-year marriage to Kevin Federline, and the subsequent custody effort over their children.
Attorneys for the singer’s father Jamie Spears filed a document Monday showing how much his court-ordered control of her business and individualized affairs has cost so far. Fees were split among 17 lawyers and firms, including $1 million for Spears’s own attorneys. That amount, said the attorneys, covered the “complex and challenging” issues the singer has visaged in getting her life back on track.
“Since the initiation of the conservatorship, as a result of the concerted efforts of Mr. Spears as well as the professionals involved, all aspects of Ms. Spears’s life have been stabilized and continue to improve,” lawyer Geraldine Wyle wrote. She added that the singer’s mental health continued “to mend,” that she had regained “substantial visitation” with her children and that her career “has been revitalized.”
