Cody Linley Game for a 'Hannah Montana' Spinoff!

Published | Updated

Cody Linley is down for a Jake Ryan "Hannah Montana" spinoff ... 'cause he says his character from the show would totally be up for it!

We spoke with the Disney alum following the premiere of Disney+’s "Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special" and he thinks his character of Jake -- Miley Stewart's on-again, off-again love interest -- would be excited about the project. He says you can never say never ... and that Jake will always hold a special place in his heart.

And for the burning question -- does Cody think Jake and Miley were endgame? He tells TMZ he's not too sure if they'd be together in real life, but he's certain they will always have love for one another because they're each other's first loves. He also gushes about how Miley taught his character -- who was quite self-absorbed when fans first met him -- how to be humble while still having "The Best of Both Worlds" ... it's all in the clip.

'Hannah Montana' Cast Then and Now ... Happy 20th Anniversary!

Published

Not trying to make you feel old, but "Hannah Montana" premiered 20 years ago ... and we're helping you celebrate by showcasing what the cast looked like then and now!

That's right ... we're giving you the best of both worlds, starting with Miley Cyrus, who played the iconic role of Miley Stewart. The character was famously a teenager who doubled as a notable pop star, Hannah Montana, giving herself the stage name -- along with an infamous wig -- to maintain anonymity and some semblance of normalcy in her young life.

But you know we couldn't stop there ... we also got shots of Billy Ray Cyrus -- Miley's real dad, who also played her father on the show -- Emily Osment, who played Miley's best friend, and Jason Earles, who played Miley's older brother.

And you can also see some of the cast in the "Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special" premiering today on Disney+.

'Hannah Montana' Star I Lied About My Age to Get The Part ... I Was 10 Years Older!!!

"IT ALL WORKED OUT"

"Hannah Montana" star Jason Earles is exposing a "big secret" he had on the set of the popular Disney sitcom ... he told execs he was 10 years younger than he actually was in order to nab the part!

In the inaugural episode of the "Best of Both Our Worlds" podcast, Jason cops to lying about his age in his audition and telling producers he was 18 years old ... because he was really 28, but was supposed to be playing a teenager.

In fact, casting director Lisa London encouraged him to fudge the truth -- except she believed he was only 19 ... because the actor had "lied to her in a different audition."

JE admitted he almost didn't audition because he was "too old," saying ... "Nobody's gonna buy it."

But they did ... for a while. It wasn't until Season One's eighth episode that 'Hannah' producer and podcast cohost Douglas Danger Lieblein learned the truth.

The Disney alum also recalled being found out by a network exec, saying he "showed up on show night and was like, 'Hey, you're, uh, 28? And you're married?' I was like, 'Yeah, that girl I keep making out with … that's my wife.'"

Ultimately, Jason said showrunner Steven Peterman was grateful for the dishonesty and told him ... "Thank you so much for lying to us because we would’ve gotten nervous if we’d found out during the pilot and we would’ve recast you."

Douglas seconded the sentiment, adding that Jason made the show what it was because "the kids thought you were a kid and they treated you as such."

He and 'Hannah' director -- and fellow cohost -- Shannon Flynn agreed that this is why the show "wouldn't have been 'Hannah Montana'" without Jason.

"Hannah Montana" was not inspired by "Lizzie McGuire" in "any shape or form," TMZ has learned ... following Hilary Duff's comments that she was "sure" the 'Lizzie McGuire Movie' helped shape the show.

We caught up with the creator of "Hannah Montana," Michael Poryes, who says Disney pitched him the ​idea to create a show about a popstar ... and he came up with the concept in a small garage office in Los Angeles.

He tells us there was "zero" inspiration derived from "Lizzie McGuire" -- he had never even seen the movie -- saying he'd watched maybe 1 or 2 episodes of the series when he went to brainstorm ideas that would eventually lead him to "Hannah Montana."

Tish Cyrus Presioné a Billy para hacer "Hannah Montana" Para mantener la familia unida!!!

"No destruyó nuestra familia"

Tish Cyrus está contando que animó a su ex, Billy Ray Cyrus, a protagonizar "Hannah Montana" porque pensó que los uniría como familia, una esperanza que ahora sabemos no resultó en el largo plazo.

La mujer de 56 años reflexionó sobre cómo la serie de Disney Channel impactó a su familia en un nuevo episodio de "Call Her Daddy", diciendo que vio el espectáculo como un doble golpe. Primero, fue una oportunidad para impulsar la carrera de Billy, que había sido golpeada tras su éxito de 1992 "Achy Breaky Heart", y también para unirlos como familia.

Tish explicó que una bombilla se encendió en su cabeza cuando los directores del casting de "Hannah" bromearon que "no podían costear" el tener a Billy en el show durante la audición de Miley, lo que la llevó a saltar y decirles que la idea no era demasiado descabellada.

Luego se dirigió a su ex marido y lo instó a audicionar, y aunque sabía que significaría un recorte de sueldo para él, también implicaría que su familia estaría junta de nuevo.

Por aquel entonces, toda la familia Cyrus, incluidos sus 5 hijos, vivía en Toronto, donde Billy estaba rodando otra serie y Tish estaba estresada por la idea de tener que viajar constantemente entre Canadá y Los Ángeles por el nuevo rol protagónico de Miley, así que era una oportunidad de oro que Billy pudiera participar en la serie.

La reflexión de Tish sobre "Hannah Montana" claramente parece estar más en la escala de "lo que podría haber sido", pero Billy Ray lo recuerda de manera muy diferente, diciendo a GQ en 2011 que el espectáculo "destruyó su familia."

Tish se separó legalmente de Billy en 2022 y se casó con Dominic Purcell en agosto de 2023. Al parecer, este nuevo matrimonio es una fuente de controversia importante entre Miles y su padre.

TISH CYRUS 'I PUSHED BILLY TO DO 'HANNAH MONTANA' To Keep Family Together!!!

"DID NOT DESTROY OUR FAMILY"

Tish Cyrus says she encouraged her ex, Billy Ray Cyrus, to star in "Hannah Montana" 'cause she thought it would bring them together -- a hope we now know didn't pan out in the long run.

The 56-year-old reflected on how the Disney Channel series impacted their family on a new "Call Her Daddy" episode, saying she saw the show as a double whammy ... a chance to move Billy's career forward -- it had hit a wall after his 1992 hit "Achy Breaky Heart" -- and a chance to make them a strong family unit.

Tish explained that a lightbulb went off in her head when 'Hannah' casting directors joked they "couldn't afford" Billy for the show during Miley's audition ... prompting her to jump in and tell them the idea wasn't too far-fetched.

She then turned to Billy, urging him to audition, and while she knew it would be a pay cut for him, it meant their family would be together again.

At that time, the whole Cyrus family, including their 5 children, had been living in Toronto, where Billy was filming another show -- and Tish was stressing over the thought of constantly traveling back and forth between Canada and L.A. for Miley's new starring role -- so getting Billy on the series was a golden opportunity.

Tish's reflection on "Hannah Montana" clearly appears to be more on the "what could have been" scale, but Billy Ray remembers it much differently ... telling GQ in 2011, the show "destroyed my family."

Tish legally parted ways from Billy in 2022, and married Dominic Purcell in August 2023 -- and that new marriage is reportedly a source of major contention between Miles and her dad.

MITCHEL MUSSO CASO DESESTIMADO Tras el arresto por embriaguez pública y robo

Published

Los cargos de la estrella de "Hannah Montana" Mitchel Musso, de embriaguez pública y robo, han sido desestimados, esto viene un par de meses después de ser arrestado. TMZ ha indagado.

Un representante de la ciudad de Rockwall le dice a TMZ que el caso de Mitchel fue desestimado, aunque no se dio ninguna razón. Nos dice cualquier cuerpo de video de la cámara y más información no se proporcionará porque el caso no dio lugar a una condena o adjudicación diferida.

TMZ publicó la historia, Mitchel fue esposado en agosto después de que la policía de Rockwall respondiera a una llamada en un hotel donde la gente estaba reclamando  que el actor estaba actuando de manera beligerante y había robado algo del mercado de alimentos.

Nos dijeron que el personal del hotel le exigió que pagara por el producto, pero supuestamente se puso verbalmente abusivo ... y cuando los policías lo encontraron fuera del hotel, determinaron que estaba bajo la influencia.

Además, los oficiales dijeron que encontraron órdenes de tráfico pendientes a su nombre y, finalmente, decidieron arrestarlo.

Fue fichado por algunos cargos diferentes ... intoxicación pública, robo (menos de $ 100), registro vencido, no mostrar una licencia de conducir, y la violación de una promesa de comparecer aviso ... pero ahora se nos dice todo el caso fue retirado.

Mitchel habló después de su detención, diciendo a EW: "Yo no estaba absolutamente borracho o bebiendo, y no había 100% de robo" - y agregó: "Es lamentable, es un malentendido."

Mitchel Musso Public Intoxication Case Dismissed

Published

"Hannah Montana" star Mitchel Musso's public drunkenness and theft case has been dropped ... TMZ has learned -- a reversal of fortune that comes just a couple of months after his arrest.

A rep for the city of Rockwall, TX tells TMZ ... Mitchel's case was dismissed, although no reason was given -- we're just told any body cam footage, and further info won't be released because the case did not result in a conviction or deferred adjudication.

TMZ broke the story, Mitchel was cuffed back in August after Rockwall PD responded to a call at a hotel where people were claiming the actor was acting belligerently and had stolen something from the food market.

We were told hotel staff demanded he pay for the product, but he allegedly became verbally abusive ... and when cops found him outside the hotel, they determined he was under the influence.

In addition, officers said they found outstanding traffic warrants in his name and ultimately decided to arrest him.

He was booked on a few different charges ... public intoxication, theft (under $100), expired registration, failure to display a driver's license, and violating a promise to appear notice ... but now we're told the whole case was dropped.

Mitchel spoke out after his arrest, telling EW, "I was absolutely not drunk or drinking, and there was 100% no theft" -- adding, "It's unfortunate, it's a misunderstanding."
