Miley Cyrus, At 15, To Pen Memoir

TV & Music Star Signs Book Deal With Disney

(AP)  At an age when other teens are writing in their diaries, teen star Miley Cyrus is working on her memoir.

The multi-hyphenate teen star has signed a book deal to tell the story of her young life, it was announced Tuesday. The memoir by 15-year-old Cyrus, who stars in the Disney Channel series "Hannah Montana," is to be released in spring 2009.

Disney said the book will focus particularly on the guidance of Cyrus' mother, Leticia.

"I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me," Cyrus said in a statement. "I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.

"The Disney Book Group will publish Cyrus' book internationally in a clear bit of synergy for the Walt Disney Co. Disney said the book will also feature previously unseen photos, family stories and "a look at her inner circle of loved ones."

The book, the first by the 15-year-old singer-actress, will be published under the Disney-Hyperion Books imprint. Financial details of the deal were not immediately known.

And yet, no word on Paul Davis passing???? For you youngsters, he made real music. Had some great songs such as ''65 love Affair, I Go Crazy, Sweet Life, Cool Nights. Died of a heart attack at 60 years old just a couple days ago.

So, what DOES she have to write about, at the ripe old age of 15? "My wild nights of milkshakes and Yahtzee with my folks"? "My first pimple - TraumaCity"? "How I lost my Blackberry on the way to the concert"? "How I got my record and tv deals, ''cause my daddy pulled some strings, ''cause I''m cute but not that talented"? "How I manage to make more money than God and still look like an overdressed teen-aged hooker"?

Memoirs at 15? I don''t think anyone who isn''t old enough to drive or vote has lived long enough to write a memoir worthy of my time. Of course, were she a Nobel Laureate or a prodigy, then perhaps it might be interesting but she''s not. She''s just the child of a one-hit-wonder.
