miley: beyond disney

yesterday, access hollywood premiered the trailer for miley cyrus's first movie outside the disney name, nicholas sparks' the last song. while the movie was made under one of disney's brands (touchstone), it's definitely the most adult work miley has done. apparently, she wanted her own a walk to remember, mandy moore's breakout acting role, which led to nicholas sparks writing the book and the subsequent adaptation. miley got the chance to name her character and chose "ronnie," after her grandpa ron. sparks made ronnie short for veronica to make the name not such a bizarre. while the trailer features miley singing "i look at you," the closing credits song for the film, her character doesn't sing at all in the movie. instead, ronnie is a piano prodigy. check out the clip above and the movie in theaters this april.

people's sexiest man

like every year around this time, people magazine crowns their "sexiest man alive." johnny depp took the title this year, the second time this decade. it was quite the shocker as many people were expecting one of the other two men featured on the cover - robert pattinson or ryan reynolds - to gain the top spot. what do you think of depp being named the sexiest man alive? usually, the man who takes the crown has a big project coming out and is at the height of his career. depp is kind of waning right now, with no projects lined up other than tim burton's alice in wonderland out next year so he seems somewhat of an odd choice.

your first look at the last song

here are two different music videos for miley cyrus's latest single, "when i look at you." while the title is very similar to whitney houston's current song "i look to you," they're quite different songs. "when i look to you" is the lead song off the last song's soundtrack, the nicholas sparks film that miley recently wrapped and that will be released in april of next year. now, technically, i don't think we were supposed to see either of these music videos until at least next february, but here they are - watch them while they're up. the second video features small clips from the movie, if you want to get a feel for what it'll look like. the novel the last song was released this week in stores, too, so now you can get the look of each of the characters while you read.
