Miley Not Smiley about Ratings
Miley was a smash on the Disney concert stage this weekend, but did the photo controversy hurt TV ratings for the 15-year-old star? The Sunday numbers for "Hannah Montana" fell 24% from the previous new episode, reports the NY Daily News.
The drop in ratings may not be due to the teen queen's recent risqué photo shoot -- the "Hannah Montana" reign on the Disney channel had been slipping a bit even before the "Vanity Fair" controversy.
Despite the ratings drop, the "Hannah Montana" franchise is still selling remarkably well. Wal-Mart has created space that is exclusively dedicated to products featuring Cyrus's superstar alter ego -- and production for her big screen debut began this week.
