Miley Cyrus In Line For ‘Dark’ Film Role

Miley Cyrus is taking another step to erase all memories of ‘Hannah Montana’ from our minds by starring in the paranormal thriller, ‘Wake’.

According to reports, the 17-year-old is in talks to play a teenager who is transported into other people’s dreams and ends up in a living nightmare – about as far away from Disney as you can get.

Miley sat down with MTV News on Friday and revealed she is oblivious to most of the recent criticism of her raunchy new image. “I try to think of really just the positive things. My family, we're only allowed to have 10 channels basically at our house, because we don't want to see any of that stuff,” she explained. “So the people that are around me, they bring me the good things, and I never see anything or read anything that's bad.”

Also on Friday, Miley treated hundreds of New York fans to a free performance with former Poison frontman Bret Michaels in Central Park. The pair performed a duet of his band’s hit ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’, a version of which appears on Miley’s new album.

Michaels, who is on the comeback trail after suffering a brain haemorrhage in April, took time to praise the ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ singer. Michaels said, "She's a great musician and she has a great soul... she's one of the people who will make that huge transition into being a superstar”.
