Ok, Billy Ray Cyrus may have tortured us with his achy breaky heart, but he is hopefully a good dad to his little TV prodigy Miley Cyrus — star of the irritatingly popular kids show 'Hannah Montana' (about a girl who's secretly a famous singing star). Though, I'm not sure massive fame is a great experience for any young teen… But while I might be able to forgive the Cyrus clan for that song, and even for the TV show — I don't think there's any getting around the horror of their latest display. The sweet-as-pie Miley just appeared in front of a squealling crowd in Nashville, where she grew up (well, part of the way, at least). Said the junior Cyrus to her fans: "I'll tell you guys what my main wish when my parents asked me: 'Miley, what do you want for your 15th birthday?'" On tenterhooks yet? "The only thing that I had to say was: 'I want to be here at home with Nashville and all of you guys.'" Oh, she's just so giving. Gag. But it gets worse. After her gig, she was begged for an encore. Her response? "I'd like to bring out my best friend — that just about says it all — my daddy." Then her and daddy sang an acoustic version of their duet, 'Ready, Set, Don't Go'. Double gag. Ack. Eeuw. I feel sullied just having thought about that Saccharin-soaked scene. On a far more delicious note — word is that current Bond boy Daniel Craig is hitting the gym to shape up for our viewing pleasure in the next installment of the spy franchise. Long-time Bitch and Famous-ers will know that I've had something of an, er, intense loathing for 'Bond'. But the last flick, with Craig, was a drastic improvement, which has just about won me over. Now Daniel spills on the trials of getting buff for his second 'Bond' after wrapping up the first: "After it finished I stopped training and ate what I wanted. It's hell, because as soon as you get back in the gym, you have to work it all off." Unfortunate for him, but sounds like great news for movie-goers. Even better, he says that: "Last time I did a lot of weights to bulk up. This time I'll do more running. I won't be as 'no-neck'. But when this guy takes his shirt off, he should look like he could kill someone." I'm guessing there'll be a fair amount of fainting from his hottest when he gets shirtless, if not actual death. Speaking of fake death… the Coen brothers had to shell out a fortune for fake blood for the fake dead in their latest flick, 'No Country for Old Men'. Says Joel Coen: "We had a lot of extras that had to lie around in the baking sun covered with blood on the desert floor essentially for hours at a time. The make-up department was buying this special blood, made in England; make-up blood that was something like $800 (that's almost R7000!) a gallon." "I wanted to know why they were doing that instead of just mixing food coloring with Karo syrup, which they usually do, and I was told this blood had no sugar in it. This was important because the extras would be lying there for hours and wouldn't be attacked by creepy bugs and animals that might otherwise be attracted to the sugar." Yeah, I'd say not being an insect paradise of sticky high-fructose corn syrup would be the way to go. More fake celeb emotion and real star scandals — in next week's Bitch and Famous!
