Billy Ray Cyrus and his son Trace Cyrus are preparing to lift the lid on their lives in a new reality TV show. Miley Cyrus’ dad and brother are in talks with U.S. TV bosses about a project which Trace promises will “blow people’s minds” when it hits screens.
In a post on his Twitter page, he writes, “First meeting went well! On to the next meeting with another TV station. This reality show with my dad and I is going to blow people’s minds.”
Trace Cyrus is best known as a musician. He was a guitarist and songwriter of Metro Station before the band broke up earlier 2010. He now joins new band Ashland High.
Meanwhile, Billy Ray Cyrus has worked together with his daughter Miley Cyrus in TV series “Hannah Montana“, which recently wrapped production for the last episode.
Disney Channel has just released a TV spot for the new season of “Hannah Montana“. Despite announcing that the fourth one would be the last fans will see of Miley Stewart and the gang, the promo is called “Hannah Montana Forever”.
The fourth season kicked off its production on January 18 this year and will begin airing the episodes in July. Containing around 11 episodes that will air throughout the year, “Hannah Montana” will wrap it up with one-hour series finale. “It’s one of the things she’s been wrestling with for months – whether it’s time to make a decision to continue being Hannah Montana or just be a regular, ordinary girl,” Disney Channel Worldwide programming exec Adam Bonnett said.
On another news, the show is including a dozens of military families in a concert scene. On March 12, Miley Cyrus and her father Billy Ray Cyrus have given them a chance to be the studio audience but they decided to do more with them. The kids will be able to greet their deployed parents via satellite.
“My dad has always been super involved with the troops so [the producers] always try to find things that are close to our hearts and that we’re really involved in,” Miley told People. Billy Ray chimed in, “This past December I was in Afghanistan and Iraq and that trip inspired the writers to say let’s do an episode to say thank you to the troops.”
Now that Hannah Montana
is marching towards its finale, the show’s bound to offer up some great surprises to increase the hype. That’s not to mention dialing up the comedy for an upcoming episode titled “The Wheel Near My Bed (Keeps On Turnin’)”.
Just Jared Jr. reports that actor Jon Cryer will be a guest star on the said installment, and will be playing a crucial part in the series. He’s bagged the role of father to Lilly (Emily Osment), the best friend of the series’ lead character, Miley.
Most of us know the 44-year-old star as Alan Harper on the CBS comedy series Two and a Half Men. He’s had bad luck in relationships there, and it seems like that’s carried on to his stint on the Disney Channel series.
On “The Wheel Near My Bed (Keeps On Turnin’)”, Cryer plays a harebrained dad to Lilly. We expect the two of them to get along though, considering how crazy this girl can get sometimes. Maybe it’s in the genes.
The Hannah Montana episode starts off with Lilly’s mom (guest star Heather Locklear) taking on a new job which requires her to travel to Atlanta. Since she’s left alone, Lilly has to find another place to stay.
Her best friend’s dad Robby Ray (Billy Ray Cyrus) invites her over to stay with the Stewarts, which seems a very exciting prospect at first. Unfortunately, things aren’t as pleasing for Miley (Miley Cyrus). You’d think she’d be happy to spend the night with her pal, but she complains to her dad about their living arrangements.
When Lilly overhears, she decides to move into the cramped apartment of her dad, Kenneth (Jon Cryer). Too bad his antics could be far worse than Miley’s,
The episode “The Wheel Near My Bed (Keeps On Turnin’)” will debut on February 21 at 8PM on the Disney Channel. Be sure to catch the Two and a Half Men
star there.
As his daughter Miley Cyrus tries out more mature endeavors in her career, actor and musician Billy Ray Cyrus is okay with letting go. He knows that the 17-year-old pop sensation will be busy with her projects, so instead he’s focusing on his own.
Still, one thing that keeps them together is the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. Now that it’s coming to an end, what exactly will these stars get involved with? There will be other shows and movies though, but the fans will certainly remember them most for this one.
Too bad for them, because Billy Ray Cyrus has confirmed that Hannah Montana
really is on its last legs. “The future is we are doing 11 more episodes,” the 48-year-old star revealed to Inside TV. “Disney will have new episodes to air all the way through 2011.”
A spokesperson from Disney recently announced that the cast is filming the final episodes of Hannah Montana, and after which will wrap up production for the show. Right now, the network is still airing season 3. Following that would be the installment leading to the series’ end.
Despite the arrival of the series’ final season, Billy Ray Cyrus has no trouble dealing with endings. He already took the opportunity to work on new material, which will certainly further him in his career.
During the premiere of his new flick The Spy Next Door, Billy Ray said, “Starting the year with [co-stars George] Lopez and Jackie Chan is a good way to do it.”
He added, “I laughed so much making this movie. I just stood around. I knew my lines and got to play this character Colton James, and become something very different for me, this particular role.”
When that’s over and done with though, Billy Ray Cyrus has things covered. “I have two more film projects after I finish ‘Hannah,’ and I am just excited about 2010,” he announced. Can’t say we’re really looking forward to it, but it still might be a commendable career move for the star.
