Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana on Oprah

Miley Cyrus will be appearing on the Oprah show, which airs on Thursday, December 20, 2007.

Miley Cyrus will appear along with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, on the Oprah show on Thursday, December 20. According to Oprah’s show summary, Miley Cyrus will be answering questions from her fans while she is on the show. Oprah also asserts that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus will tell fans what he would like them to know about his daughter.

According to Oprah’s website, Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus will also be performing a duet together.

Oprah invites 100 of Miley Cyrus’ biggest fans to join her audience. According to Oprah’s website, they think that they are there to participate in a Miley Cyrus Biggest Fan contest. They are all surprised when Miley comes out onto the stage and performs, “The Best of Both Worlds,” as none of her fans are aware she is going to be present.

Miley Cyrus is a well-known singer, songwriter, and actress. She plays Hannah Montana and Miley Stewart on the Disney Channel’s show Hannah Montana, where Miley Stewart appears to be a normal teenage girl by day, but is really Hannah Montana, a famous singer. On the TV series, Miley struggles to hide her identity from almost everyone, except her family and a few of her closest friends.

In October 2006 the Disney Channel released the first of Hannah Montana’s soundtracks, which contained eight songs from the show Hannah Montana.

Miley Cyrus also signed a four-album contract with Hollywood Records for her own solo career in 2006. In June 2007, Cyrus released a double album: Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. According to Wikipedia, Hannah Montana 2 serves as the second soundtrack for the Disney Channel show while Meet Miley Cyrus serves as Cyrus’ solo debut album.

Cyrus is currently on “The Best of Both Worlds” Tour in which she performs some songs as Hannah Montana and other songs as Miley Cyrus. Earlier this month the tour was extended to the end of January 2008 because of the tour’s popularity.

Miley Cyrus is also working on a movie: Hannah Montana: The Movie, which is set for release sometime in 2008 or early 2009, according to Wikipedia.

Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley’s father, is a country singer who maintains a country music career to date. Perhaps Billy Ray Cyrus is most well-known for is his 1992 hit song, “Achy Breaky Heart.”

This Thursday, December 20, 2007 Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, will appear on the Oprah show.
