Miley Cyrus: Season 4 was her choice, dad insists

Categories: Television

Miley Cyrus is either taking one for the team by agreeing to a fourth season of Hannah Montana or not-so-humbly fulfilling the terms of her multi-year deal with Disney Channel. The singer's father, Billy Ray, told Access Hollywood that he gives "a lot of credit to Miley for taking it another year. She didn't want it to just end with whatever was the last episode we did. She wanted it to build to where there's a moral to the story, to where it doesn’t just end and go away and that’s it. She wanted there to be an official ending to Hannah Montana."

But the singer-actress also had a contract to fulfill; a Disney source told EW that the network already had an option on Cyrus, 16, for a fourth season and simply decided to exercise it.

    No she wanted to keep going just to keep the easy $ coming. So funny she states that the last season was the last and now she is pushing season 4. She just doesn’t want the money to end and to be discovered as someone who can’t really act.

  • javi

    i htink she’s good doing duets with her dad and obviously with the jonas bros i hope she stays as a singer and then in the future she could do another tv show.

  • jessica

    NO! KOZ she does not care for the money she just enjoys singing and acting did u ever think about that? i have her book miles to go and she pretty much told her lifetime story in that book. she enjoys doing stuff with her dad and the rest of her friends and family. O, and she can really act

  • annonymous

    Like she needs the money. She can stop whatever she is doing right this minute and be set for life. She didn’t want’ to leave it hanging in the air. It is time for her to do other things.

  • mr magoo

    she cant act or sing, so of course she is going to stay with HM because it only takes minimal acting/singing talent. she will be done with when hm is over cause she has no real talent. she is not even cute. when the kiddos grow up, she will be toast.

  • Jeff

    It’s amazing to me that she would hesitate at all to sign up for additional seasons. Fame is fleeting and it would be in the best interest of the marginally talented Miley to milk her silly show for as many years as she can. She’s utterly delusional to believe that anyone will follow her for long once the vapid HM show ends. Anyone hear from Webster lately?

    YAY!!! im so excited there is going to be a 4th season of hm!!! i just hope that this is what miley cyrus truly wants, because it is certainly what the fans want. i think she is doing good things with her career, both bringing in bold new roles, like the last song, and sticking to her roots that made her so successful in the first place. i hope that they get some really good script writers in for the fourth season! and i hope that the cast deals with some more mature, serious issues. after all they are going to be 17-18 years old by the end of it. miley is talented, and she isnt staying with hannah montana becuase its her only option with her career, or her only option to make money. as if she really cares that much about the money part. im really excited, i just hope that the fourth season is a step up, not a step down. hannah montana deserves to go out with a lot of dignity. :)

  • Ginger

    she has a lot of money, but her dad, where he is going to work ??? I know he controls miley’s money, but if she stop working, she’ll be the one who will spent her money, not him. She picked another season because of her dad. They get home and he talked to her, we all know that hannah movie was supposed to be the last chapter.

  • ZEZo

    I wish that there be a fourth season because I love this TV series
    No comment.

    Hey stupid, Billy Ray has millions in the bank…he’s been selling albums and touring for a couple decades, and he had one of the hugest hits ever with Achy Breaky Heart. And Miley has more money than she can ever spend, too.

  • Jzopo Pico

    I would like to see Miley and Billy Ray get ripped to shreds by a snarling pack of rabid wolves! That is the only time I would ever consider tuning in to watch these talentless morons. Heck, I may even consider shelling out a couple of bucks to see it on pay-per-view… They could also feature a preliminary bout between The Jonas Brothers and three bloodthirsty grizzly bears. NOW THAT IS MUST SEE TV!!!!

    Uh Miley Cyrus is SO annoying i hope Nick Jonas doesn’t get back together with her. That would be a disaster!!!!!!!!!

  • Sally in Chicago

    I saw Miley singing on some show (maybe AI) and she has the most annoying sound to her voice. A twangy sound. Going forward she’s going to need all the help and all the exposure she can get, because she’s a plain looking girl, although she has a lot of spunk and great dance moves; but otherwise, she’s “average” sounding.

  • Sarah Gardner

    HAVENT ANY OF YOU PEOPLE HEARD THE SAYING “IF YOU DONT HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY DONT SAY IT”!!!
    YOU PEOPLE ARE JUDGING MILEY BY WHAT YOU READ!!!!
    WELL IF SOMEONE PUT SOME RUMOURS UP ABOUT YOU AND THEN PEOPLE STARTED TO HATE YOU BY WHAT THEY READ WHO YOU LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    WHOEVER HATES MILEY ARE STUPID IDIOTS CAUSE THEY HAVENT EVEN MET MILEY PROPERLY!!!!

    i love the way people tear others down, i give credit to the child, she followed her fathers footsteps and not only did she but she passed him in records sales.
    Neither of really need the money lets get real, they actually want to end things in a proper manner, give her credit, most of you would be happy if your kids had a quarter of the talent she has.
    Let the kids enjoy her, like its supposed to be and the adults that find the need to trash her, well gosh dang it grow up already.

  • Jocy

    Miley Cyrus is really talented, I’m so happy she decided to go for a 4th hannah season! yay!

  • Jocy

    Miley is really talented, Im so happy she decided to go for a fourth hannah season! yay!

  • Michael

    Can’t act, can’t sing. Nice rack, tho, so maybe she can do Playboy once Hannah is over. (BYW- If you really like her show, I recommend iCarly, which is infinitely funnier, better acted, and vastly better scripted.)

    I say to him what he states about Miley ,, his thoughts are duh the minority opinion(obviously) Miley is a very classy girl and would never ever “do” Playboy. He obviously has no taste she is very talented and If ya don’t like her stop reading about her duh idiot

  • Payse

    “Miley Cyrus is either taking one for the team by agreeing to a fourth season of Hannah Montana or not-so-humbly fulfilling the terms of her multi-year deal with Disney Channel.” or just maybe its for the reasons her dad said, you clearly just made up tht these are the two poossible reasons. Lynette Rice, you are a tool.

  • mileylover4eva

    I think Miley should keep doin Hannah montana and not do that playboy crap she haz 2 many fans that r too young to hear her do that stuff keep rockin disney Miley u rock

  • mileylover4eva
