Billy Ray Backtracks on Obama Girls' Hannah Montana Invite
Thursday November 13, 2008
 Frederick Breedon/WireImage.com; Joe Raedle/Getty Images Billy Ray Cyrus is admitting Barack Obama's two young daughters may not appear on Disney's Hannah Montana after all. "Oh, to tell you the truth now, this thing got a lot bigger, a lot quicker than I ever planned," Miley Cyrus' dad told reporters at the CMA Awards in Nashville Wednesday. See photos from the Obama family album. (On Tuesday, an Obama source told Us "no such request" had been made for Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, to appear on the show after Cyrus said the day before they "probably will" appear on an April episode.) "It's a double-edge sword for me because first of all, I have a great deal of respect for President-elect Obama," Cyrus said. "I just mentioned about them being on the show, and it snowballed." Cyrus says he isn't sure it was a good idea for Obama's daughters to be on TV, anyway. "As a daddy, I'll say to him what I say to any daddy, you may not want your daughter to get into show business," he warned. "But if the girls want to be on the show, and him and his wife think it's a good idea, I always say, everything in life, what's meant to be will happen." But if it doesn't work out? "If not, it's probably a good thing also because these girls are going to be in a unique spotlight, and they really do need to walk with certainty and care," Cyrus said. "I can see many reasons why it would be fun for them to do the show, but I also see a couple other reasons... I don't know." In the end, Cyrus says the Obama's girls' appearance is out of his hands. "I'll leave it up to faith," he said. "I think God has a plan for everything. I have no doubt if it's meant to be. I'll look up and see them some time before April."

You can not met a nicer person than Billy Ray Cyrus. He is a great loving person. His children is a big part of his life unlike some other performers. I think it would be fun for the Obama girls to do the show. An experience of a life time. Give these two families a break.

What can't the obama's do. Token family to show the "others" how to behave (only have as many kids as you can support with out public assistance). On a magazine cover every week. They can sing. They can dance (not really). And now they will star on Disney. Can't wait until the wet T-shirt pictures from the white house start. Miley is a skank. Billy is an idiot. If I tap my heels will I wake up back at home?

The sad thing is that Cyrus doesn't understand that he's talking about pimpin' the daughters of the leader-elect of the free world. Someone needs to help Billy Ray understand that the last thing the family of the Obama children want or need is - a-hem - "exposure" on Disney. Sheesh!

Billy Ray Cyrus? Obama's kids fart bigger then him. The only reason he is back in the spotlight is because he is pimping his daughter out.

I can't stand Miley Cyrus. She's such a pudgy brat. Not sure how she landed her hot model boyfriend. Miley sucks. I'm tired of seeing her fat face plastered to the tv screen.

Good, I hope they decide not to put them on the show with his slutty daughter. Who wants to be connected to a tramp? They are first daughters and do not need that kind of attention. They are sweet young girls and should stay that way. His SLUT of a 16 year old daughter that's dating a 20 year old MAN shouldn't even have a KIDS show. Her half nude pics all over the internet since she was 14 are enough. She is not a good role model. And he is definitely not a good father figure.

I hope Obama doesn't let them go on his show. He just wants ratings and probably to put it up there so the kids press their parents or something like that. slimy Post new comment |
