New Horizons For Billy Ray Cyrus
In Not So Important Entertainment News:
When I returned home from fetching my coffee and scone this Saturday morning I turned on the television, and what I saw jarred me. Billy Ray Cyrus is now the co-star of a Saturday morning children's show on The Disney Channel. The program, Hannah Montana, stars Cyrus' daughter Miley Cyrus whose character Miley Stewart is a super-hip, 14 year-old transplant to Malibu via Tennessee who is navigating "the tangled web of school life - from getting good grades to impressing her crush, to being accepted by all the various social haves to have-tos!"
Yikes!
Billy Ray Cyrus is of course the country singer most people know by, and ONLY by, his 1992 #4 hit "Achy Breaky Heart." But my favorite Billy Ray moment has always been his role as "Gene Clean," the pool man in David Lynch's brilliant Mulholland Drive.
It also appears BRC is hoping to parlay his recent exposure into a revival of his music career, as evidenced by his new single "I Want My Mullet Back."
You heard it here first!
