I was searching for info on Miley's new book when I came across this article. Very interesting, and a little dissapointing, to say the least. :S
Miley Cyrus Autobiography Only Twelve Pages Long
New York, NY -- Split-personality teen idol Miley Cyrus elicited a huge squeal of delight from her young fans yesterday by announcing her forthcoming autobiography.
The seven-figure book deal—a stunning contract for a 15-year-old entertainer's memoir—rocked the publishing world as well as the Hannah Montana star's ardent admirers.
In a groundbreaking departure from normal conventions, the entire Miley Cyrus life story fills only twelve pages in the oversized hard cover volume, and most of those pages are blank.
"We paid top dollar," said Disney-Hyperion Books editor Donna Tagliani, "but we saved money by not hiring a ghostwriter. Miley told the story in her own words."
"There wasn't a lot to talk about," Ms. Tagliani continued, "and I think we are correct in assuming Miley's fan base would mostly use the empty pages for drawing hearts and writing little flame notes."
Environmentally friendly though it may be, this type of targeted publishing is bound to alienate some of the multi-talented Ms. Cyrus's most dedicated supporters.
"The lack of pictures will certainly be a turn-off for middle-aged men who would buy the book for non-literary purposes," Ms. Tagliani added.
Interest in viewing Miley Cyrus's naughty bits has reached an all-time high, and demand is being fed by incidents like the recent release of photos candidly exposing the nearly-nubile young pop phenom's goodies.
One image appears to present Ms. Cyrus posing in a recording studio and provocatively tugging at her underclothes, an act she insists was misconstrued.
"I accidentally dropped a microphone down my blouse," she explained. "I was just trying to get the cord untangled from my bra."
