Miley's Handlers Hijack Radio Show -- Take 2

Miley CyrusIt's time for Round 2 of Miley Cyrus' PR bulldogs vs radio DJs -- and this time, one of her handlers actually jumped in on the conversation in order to redirect the line of questioning.

Miley was on with Chet Buchanan and the Morning Zoo on 98.5 KLUC in Vegas today, when they strayed from the pre-approved topics and asked how much control Cyrus has over her bank account. Great question, right?

Wrong.

The voice that answered was not Hannah Montana's -- and the DJ's response couldn't have been more perfect.

31. *The question was uber personal to say nothing of highly unprofessional. If they cannot stick to the tour questions, they should never be allowed another interview again. It all seems like an impromptu shot at keeping their (listeners) and ratings high. Had Miley actually answered the questions of these clowns, how long before TMZ and Perez would have had that response up on their site..."Listen to what MILEY had to SAY about her ACCESS to her ASSETS!!"...and the radio station would have gotten thousands of dollars worth of extra and FREEEEE publicity. Don't get it twisted Y'ALL. That irrelevant questions, similar to an illegal punch in a fight, is about nothing but dollars.

32. In this thread, I've seen one person bring up the Obamas and another person bring up David Letterman. Were any of those people involved in the Miley Cyrus phone call and I didn't know it?

33. Those poor radio guys..... They believe in their omnipotence thinking they can be disrespectful and ask whatever they want.... and then the reality of life and show business strikes back and they are shut up

34. The DJ was just playing ignorant or was ignorant. What part of the pre-approved topics didn't he understand. And what's it any of his business about a minor's money.

35. The issue I have with this situation is not that Miley has certain areas she does not want to discuss, most celebrities do, however, why is she not capabale of simply saying to the DJ herself that she doesn't want to answer that question...it's not that hard...if the DJ keeps pursuing the issue then yes a handler should step in and help her she is 16, on the other side, she's a movie, tv, and music star and she should be able to handle not wanting to answer a question...it's just a little strange to me....

37. I am so sick of Miley Cyrus. The only reason she got popular was because of her daddy....just like Paris Hilton.
She should do the world a favor and go work a micky ds just like every other teenager.

39. they have to much control over her. how will she be able to do this when she is on her own? she will rely on them for her whole career. i see no reason why she cant say for herself that the question is not something she can answer or should answer or any way shape or form of that? its so obvious she doesnt mind continuing an interview after those question whether she aims to answer them just naturally or side step it like mahy celebs do. you hear her talking as they hang up, and you know its not the radio hosts.

40. ok so those who asked about whether or not she has access to her bank account, thats a bit over the top! that they should have hung up on, but asking about whether or not she got an apology from Jamie Foxx, thats nothing, everyone got wind of that. that was talked about all over the radio, you heard about it on the celeb news shows like TMZ...and its obvious Miley was going to answer even if it was just a "I dont want to talk about it", so what, she deosnt want to talk about it then, so move on. i blame her handlers for that, Miley dont let them rule that much of your life, be your own perspn!

41. 29. Why don't they call the Obama's and ask Field Marshall Doctor President For Life Barak if Michelle lets him have the PIN number. Sounds like a fair question to me, right after Letterman tells Michelle she looks like a hot hooker Flight Attendant,

Obsessed much? I bet if I asked you your shoe size, your answer will no doubt have something to do with President Obama. What did you have to get for dinner? Answer: President Obama. Dude, you sound like you have a real hard-on for President Obama. Stick to beating off in the shower to his picture and stop bringing him up on a topic that has nothing to do with him. I swear right-winger are a much of repressed, gay, sex addicts.

It's the crazy right-wingers. They can't answer questions about anything without bringing up Prez Obama or someone else they consider their "enemy". David Letterman was added to the enemy list this week. There whole (miserable) world is about hating people. Just let them bitch and complain, it's the only way to prevent them from going out and murdering people they disagree with.

43. This is what I posted on my blog yesterday at kiddnation.com

My show was one of the several that were rudely hung-up on in the middle of the interview. I'm told that when we asked for an explanation, we were told were "out of time". For the record, we received no list of approved questions. Miley was in-studio with us recently for over and hour and we had a blast. She was friendly on and off the air, seemed completely comfortable, and her performance of "The Climb" was excellent. Her management relayed to me that "it was the best experience she'd had on the radio". I say all that to dispel the notion that we were cut-off because of rudeness or because we made her uncomfortable. I think the simple explanation is that by the time she got to my show, she was already 15 minutes late and someone made the unfathomable decision to just cut the line after a certain time to get back on schedule. Can you imagine a guest on Conan or Ellen...answering a question, and a PR person comes out and takes them off the set? It's not just disrespectful to the show, it looks terrible for Miley. Though she's just a teenager, I've found Miley to be savvy enough to handle anything that's thrown at her. She doesn't need a babysitting PR flunkie to disconnect phone interviews and jump in on the conversation. It's as bush-league as you can possibly get. Our morning show is on 80 stations across the country with an audience of two million. They (the audience) deserves better and so do we. Again, I love Miley and I root for her success, but I would be lying if I said this didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. For her sake, I hope she corrects this problem immediately.
