AmieStilo’s Celebrity News

She may be under fire for her Vanity Fair and Internet photos, but Miley Cyrus will still be center stage Saturday at the 2008 Disney Channel Games.

The Disney Channel stands by their Hannah Montana superstar, confirming that she will perform at the concert wrapping the weeklong charity event held at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

After some private photos hit the blogs – but before Cyrus apologized for the “embarrassing” Vanity Fair magazine shoot– a Disney exec conceded, “the Internet adds a whole new twist to typical teenage life.”

“Being the most famous 15-year-old in the world is exciting but fraught with challenges and exceptional responsibility,” Gary Marsh, Disney Channel entertainment president, told the Los Angeles Times about their biggest star before the photo flap.

The scandal hasn’t slowed down Cyrus’s packed work schedule. In addition to the concert – which airs in July and also features the Jonas Brothers, The Cheetah Girls, Demi Lovato and Jordan Pruitt – Cyrus will begin filming the Hannah Montana movie next week in Nashville. Her new album is slated for a July release.

Not to mention most industry experts expect Cyrus will be just fine. “The audience is going to let this one go,” says Jerry Del Colliano, a music industry professor at the University of Southern California. “The parents are going to forgive and the kids are going to love her just as much.”

Heading the list of PEOPLE’s 100 Most Beautiful People is a 29-year-old mother remarkably short on her beauty sleep – for which she lovingly credits her active 4-year-old son.

The beautiful, sleep-deprived mom?Kate Hudson, PEOPLE reveals in its special issue, which goes on sale Friday.

Was she always such a head-turner? Admits the actress: “I was a tomboy. I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed.”

Her best time for looking good, she says, comes “at the end of the night, when everything’s soaked in and I’m still up. I like the leftover makeup in the morning. You’ve got to wash your face but there’s always the leftover eye makeup, I love that.”

Paula Abdul says she and her fellow American Idol judges were thrown a “curveball” Tuesday night when they were asked to quickly sum up first half of the show — after originally being told they’d critique the contestants at the end.

Calling into Idol host Ryan Seacrest’s KISS-FM show Wednesday morning, Abdul said her strange response to Jason Castro’s performance was an “honest mistake.” Abdul admits she’d written notes on both Castro and another performer on the same card, and in the end, was simply “confused” as she gave her feedback.

“In seven years we’ve never had to do that,” she told Seacrest of the format change, adding, “We were only following directions.”

Hilary Duff dropped a scorpion down her trousers in her new movie.

The actress had the “scary” encounter with the arachnid while shooting ‘War, Inc’ after deciding not to use a fake one.

She is quoted as saying: “We did it about four times. They were like, ‘We have a fake one here but it looks terrible.’ And I was like, ‘I’ve done this for the movie, and this and this and this’ - I can’t back out now. I’ve got to go for it. All the guys on set were telling me that they would never do this.

“I had a pair of pants on that was a little bigger than my normal size so I could get some space between my body and the pants and try and drop it in.

“A couple of times it went all the way down to the floor, you know, and then sometimes it got stuck and I had to shake it out which was really scary.”

Director Josh Seftel admitted he was “terrified” by the scorpion and praised the 20-year-old ‘Lizzie Maguire’ star for her bravery.

He said: “It was so brave and bold and smart of her to do that. I loved that she embraced it.”
