UPDATE: Miley was not in any of the buses traveling in the caravan. The Cyrus Family released the following statement: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill "Uncle Bill" Douglas. Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed."
The North Carolina concert Miley Cyrus was traveling to when one of her tour buses crashed, killing the driver, is still set to go on as planned.
TMZ spoke with an employee at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in Greensboro, NC who tells us they've been flooded with calls asking about Miley's concert on Sunday. At this point, the employee tells us, "The show is going on as scheduled."
As we previously reported, one person was killed when the bus veered off the road in Virgina and crashed onto its side. The bus was part of a four-vehicle caravan, one of which was carrying Miley - though her bus was not involved in the accident.
The ill-fated bus was loaded with several members of Miley's concert lighting team.
UPDATE: Miley was not in any of the vehicles that were traveling in the caravan. Miley Cyrus' tour bus driver was reportedly killed last night after one of the buses in her 4-vehicle caravan flipped over on a highway in Virginia.
Officials also confirmed the driver of the bus was the only fatality -- one other person was transported to a local hospital due to injury.
Officials are investigating whether the driver died before the crash or after -- which could explain why the bus drifted off the road. Officials also tell us the roads were really wet from overnight rain. A man at the scene says the bus appears to have drifted off the road for a fairly long stretch before tipping over.
A reporter from WTVR.comwas on scene and shot footage of the wreckage.
A rep from Dinwiddie Fire and EMS tells us the bus had been carrying Miley's concert production crew -- there were several passengers on-board.
The survivors of the wreck were able to exit the bus through the front windshield, which was busted out during the crash.
Miley's manager tell us, "It was one of our tour buses, but not Miley's. It was one of our buses that transported our lighting crew."
In her annoyingly catchy tune "Party in the U.S.A.," Miley Cyrus sings about "a Jay-Z song was on" -- just don't try asking her which one.
During an interview on Halloween in Kentucky, MiCy admitted the unthinkable: She's "never heard a Jay-Z song" in her life.
It only gets worse from there -- the prepackaged pop tart also tried convincing the interviewer she doesn't sing pop music and that it's "not even my style." Cue Amy Poehler & Seth Myers: Really?!?
The unbelievable statement is at the 3:15 mark. Thanks to Best Week Ever for pointing out the cringeworthy clip.
Oops, she did it again. For the 3rd time in a week, Miley Cyrus' peeps hijacked her radio interview when the questions crossed the Disney approved line.
MiCy was on with WNCI Columbus this morning -- but as soon as the DJ asked about the meagerly anticipated 4th season of her TV show, the line went dead.
On her Twitter, Cyrus blamed previous hang-ups on her busy schedule -- saying if "a station goes over time I am IMMEDIATELY connected to the next station."
Billy Ray Cyrus is doing his best acting job yet -- by pretending that he and Miley are excited about a new season of "Hannah Montana."
Disney has just picked a fourth season of Miley's show, which, according to Billy Ray, was all Miley's choice. But we doubt that's the case. First of all, as EW points out, she was under contract -- you know, a legal document that forces you to do things, regardless of your opinion.
Secondly, as we told you last year, Billy Ray and Miley feel there is more money in her music career. So Billy Ray and Miley started showing up late to "Hannah" tapings, stalling production and fighting with co-stars -- all to try and force Disney's hand.
Looks like Miley's getting some tough love from her "parents," aka Disney's legal team.
It'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.
Miley Cyrus' PR peeps are hardcore -- and they'll shut anyone down who doesn't play by their rules. When the MJ Morning Show decided to go rogue on the 16-year-old Disney supastar -- asking questions that weren't pre-approved by her publicity team -- the only response he got was the click of a phone hanging up.
Either Disney is cheap, or doesn't think Miley Cyrus is worth that much -- because the Mouse is being a real tightwad when it comes to paying Cyrus for a cameo on one of their other shows.
We got our hands on Miley's contract for her guest appearance on Disney's "The Suite Life on Deck" -- which airs in June -- and it only guarantees Miley $5,000 for a week of work.
It may sound like a decent amount of scratch, but Miley's a big star and could easily get more for a guest spot on a non-Disney show.
But the paltry paycheck actually makes a lot of sense, since the story we broke last year about Miley and her dad wanting out of "Hannah Montana" because there's far more money in singing than in doing a Disney cable show.
This sort of thing happens to every girl: You date someone, he follows you around for publicity, and then eventually he steals all of your fans. True love ... mixed in with a little Miley Cyrus vs. Justin Gaston smack down.
You know you're a well-respected person when some girl pushes you aside to get with your boyfriend.
Miley Cyrus may have done that whole eye thing that triggered a $4 billion lawsuit, but don't say this chick isn't supporting the Asian community....
Smiley chowed down at City Wok last night. She had another hankerin' after hitting up Koi last week. By the way, we recommended renting "The Joy Luck Club" -- and you say we're not helpful.
So Miley Cyrus: You get sued for $4 billion after that whole slant-eye photo thing and you're just coy about it ... and Koi about it -- as in West Hollywood Japanese restaurant.
A Los Angeles woman has filed a class action suit against Miley Cyrus, claiming she mocked Asians in a recent photo by slanting her eyes. Price tag: $4 billion.
Lucie J. Kim claims to represent more than 1 million Asian Pacific Islanders who live in L.A. County. Kim claims when Cyrus posed for the photo, she "knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ."
Kim says in the suit, filed Wednesday in L.A. County Superior Court, that each Asian Pacific Islander is entitled to the minimum damages for a civil rights violation -- $4,000. Add it up -- $4 billion!
Kim says Miley's "just a kid" defense doesn't fly. She says it's like Paris Hilton claiming to be just a kid. Ouch.
Miley's peeps could not immediately be reached for comment.
After finally realizing that her first apology wasn't much of one, Miley Cyrus is actually saying she's "sorry" for taking part in this photo that mocks Asians.
Miley took to her fan club website to give the second mea culpa. She wrote:
"I want to thank all of my fans for their support not only this week, but always! I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone. I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometimes my actions can be unintentionally hurtful. I know everything is a part of GOD's ultimate plan, and mistakes happen so that eventually I will become the woman he aspires me to be. Peace and love, Miles"
Hanoi Montana doesn't seem to get why people think she's mocking Asians in this picture.
During a half-ass non-apology she just posted on her website, Miley claims she was simply making "goofy faces" with her friends and "In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity." Ok, it's a plausible explanation ... BUT WHY ISN'T THE ASIAN DUDE MAKING THE FUNNY FACE?
Hanoi then deflects responsibility even more by joking that the only reason people are mad is because "... now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on!"
UPDATE: Miley was not in any of the buses traveling in the caravan. The Cyrus Family released the following statement: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill "Uncle Bill" Douglas. Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed."
