Many Sex and the City fans were left on tenterhooks last year with whether rumours of a third movie were true. With speculation that a prequel was in the pipeline back in 2011, it has now been confirmed that there will not be a prequel film, but a TV series pilot has been given the green light.

Rumours were flying as to who would play who for the prequel film. Names such as Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Selena Gomez and Elizabeth Olsen were on the list for the four main Sex and the City characters. Now, as it will be a TV series, the roles of Carrie and Samantha are up for grabs. Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively and Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus have both been rumoured for the role of Carrie Bradshaw whilst Emma Roberts and Chloe Moretz have been speculated for the role of the infamous Samantha Jones. It has been said that the characters of Charlotte and Miranda will not feature in the series.

The series will be based on the book series ‘The Carrie Diaries’ by Candace Bushnell, they are the prequel books to Sex and the City.  The Carrie Diaries focus on Carrie’s teenage years in high school and her move to New York in the 1980’s.

The Sex and the City original writer and producer, Michael Patrick King has said he will not play any part in this series, as he felt going back in time to a ‘less evolved Carrie’ is something he could never imagine doing. But writer Amy Harris, who was a writer on the original show and Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage who have all worked on the Gossip Girl series have reportedly been asked to executive produce The Carrie Diaries.

The Sex and the City TV show was run by American network HBO but The Carrie Diaries has been taken on by US TV network the CW, who also run the TV series Gossip Girl. The CW has ordered a pilot for a weekly series.

Disney star Miley Cyrus has been reminiscing on her high school days, but not all the memories are good ones.

The star of Disney’s ‘Hannah Montana’ has revealed that she was bullied so badly at school in Tennessee, she believed her bullies would actually physically harm her.

In her new book, titles ‘Miley Cyrus: Miles to Go’, she reveals how her time there was: “friendless, lonely and miserable,” and how those girls took bullying beyond the realms of normal bullying.

She said: “These were big, tough girls. I was scrawny and short. They were fully capable of doing me bodily harm.”

The 16 year old writes about a couple of memorable occasions for her: the first being when the ‘Anti-Miley Club’ locked her in the bathroom, but the worst was being challenged to a fight which had to be stopped by her school principal.

‘My Stomach Churned’

She described: “Three girls strutted up and stood towering over me. My stomach churned. I clutched my grilled cheese sandwich like it was the hand of my best friend. It pretty much was my best friend those days. I was done for.

“They started cussing me and telling me to get up. I sat there, frozen. I didn’t know what to so. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. I stood up, still a foot shorter than they were, and said, ‘What’s your problem? What did I ever do to you?”

She also talks about splitting up with her ex-boyfriend, her ‘Prince Charming’, Jonas Brothers star Nick Jonas, in the book and how that was “the hardest day ever”.

She explained that: “deep down I know we weren’t being our best selves. And that was what I wanted – and thought I deserved – in a relationship.”

Back to the Future

The actress is now dating 21 year old underwear model Justin Gaston, which has also gotten her in a bit of bother lately as well.

She has revealed that she has had to quit jogging to stop people discussing her breasts after going jogging with her boyfriend in a bikini top, covered in a skimpy top and shorts. She explained that she was wearing the bikini to help her 8 year old sister clean cars.

She said: “I don’t get the big whoop, but whatever. I guess it’s just… I’m not allowed to jog anymore.

“My sister wanted to have a car wash. So I was like, ‘Ok, we’re going to have a car wash.’ It’s like, 100 degrees out.

“As I’m running, it got a little bit lower and you could see a little of the bathing suit top. So, oh my goodness, Miley Cyrus wears a two-piece! Kill me! I’m wearing a two-piece with an 8 year old.”

Media-favourite Miley Cyrus has finaly confirmed she and Nick Jonas were dating.

The 15-year-old star ? who up till now had refused to confirm the rumours ? has admitted she was ?in love? with the Nick, 15, who makes up one third of the Jonas Brothers.

She said: “We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met. He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, ‘I think you’re beautiful and I really like you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.’

“Nick and I loved each other. We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn’t fun.”

Miley - who recently revealed she wanted to star in a kiddie-version of hit show ?Old Women Buy Shoes?, err I mean, ‘Sex and the City’ - also spoke about how she handled the break up. Not very well it would seem.

She said: “At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights - and so I did that, and I got myself looking great (because i’m a robot that does what i’m told?).

“And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, I want to make my hair black now - I don’t want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core (this is actually painful to read). I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was like, I’ve got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am.

“Since the breakup, I’ve realised that I’ve met so many great guys, but I like being the girl nobody can have. (nothing like modesty right folks) No one can touch me, no one’s mine. I’m myself. I think it’s sexy to do your own thing.”

Pop-star/paparazzi flavour-of-the-month, Miley Cyrus is desperate to babysit for Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson when they have their baby.

The 15-year-old star apparently ?worships? Ashlee, who is expecting her first child with her husband Pete later this year.

Miley spoke to Pete at the taping of his new show ?F?N MTV? and gushed: ?I just met your beautiful wife backstage. I worship her - I’ll babysit!?

In the meantime, Miley has been getting half naked again for a camera, and ? to no great surprise ? they?ve made it on the internet.

Miley has already caused controversy when he posed ?topless? for Vanity Fair magazine earlier this year. One of the new photo?s shows the star in a tiny bikini, and one where she is looking slutily over her shoulder while wearing hotpants.

This is not the first time that pictures have been leaked to the internet. Two other sets of pictures made there way round the internet when a hacker reportedly got in to Miley?s email account and mobile phone.

Either she?s very stupid, or ? and more realistically ? her publicist knows what the world wants: a scandal.

No stranger to controversy, 15-year old Miley Cyrus ? star of Disney hit ?Hannah Montana?, and in the news recently for posing ?topless? in Vanity Fair ? has said in an interview that she wants to do a cleaner more child-friendly version of ?Sex and the City?.

?

She said: “I’d love to do a younger, cleaner version of ‘Sex and the City’. I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand.”

?

The ‘Hannah Montana’ star - whose father is country singer Billy Ray Cyrus - also revealed she wears a ‘purity ring’ to signify her commitment to abstaining from sex until she gets married.

?

She told TV Guide magazine: “Even at my age, a lot of girls are starting to fall. And I think if staying a virgin is a commitment girls make, that’s great.”

?

Even though Miley’s Vanity Fair cover causing worldwide controversy, the singer-and-actress insists she is determined to be a good influence on her fans.

?

She added: “I want to be a positive role model, so we just try to keep that stuff as much not talked about as possible. I don’t dwell on the negativity.”

In 2007 teenage star Miley Cyrus who plays Hannah Montana in the Disney sitcom of the same name, earned a staggering $18.2 million ? the highest wage for a teenage star this year.

Miley is also a pop singer who had no less than seven songs from her soundtrack album in the US singles chart at the same time, something that both Elvis and even the Beatles never did.

?

With computer games, DVDs, make-up, pillow diaries, towels and loads of other stuff that little girl?s love, Hannah Montana (Miley in a blonde wig) is a merchandise machine. Quite remarkably she is also penning her autobiography which should net her a cool $1 million.

?

There is also a big-budget movie in the pipeline, which is sure to know the crown right off ?High School Musicals? squeaky clean head, and with her father (and dad in the show) country singer, Billy-Ray Cyrus (you know ? Achy Breaky Heart) on the production credits, talk about keeping it in the family?

?

Time Magazines ?Most Influential People in the World? List, Miley ranked 59th ? higher that George Clooney, Mariah Carey and media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.

?

All this has made Miley the paparazzi?s main target. According to reports Briteny Spear?s has around half a dozen trailing her around but Miley has over 30. How long will it be before she get?s married for 12 hours, shaves her head and run?s over a photographer? Well she?s already got the ball rolling with a photoshoot with Vanity Fair where she posed topless under a blanket ? which as you can imagine caused outrage amonst the parents of America.

?

Despite approving the shoot, Miley has since apologised and hinted that she was tricked in to the shoot: ?I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ?artistic? and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,? she said in a statement. ?I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologise to my fans who I care so deeply about.?

?

The new ?all grown-up? image has already attracted Playboy boss Hugh Hefner who invited the star to pose in his magazine when she turns 18. ?She would be welcomed in the magazine. She’s a very pretty lady,? he said. ?

?

The ?lets try make Miley breakdown before her sixteenth birthday? bandwagon is in full effect now and the star herself is making matters worse by defending out-of-control stars like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. ?Basically, they?re being normal 21-year-olds, especially Lindsay Lohan,? she said recently. ?I mean, most of that?s pretty normal.?

?

Former child star Paul Petersen (one of the original Mousketeers), who now runs a support group for child stars, says he believes a Miley Cyrus meltdown is inevitable: ?I fear that since this path has been trodden so many times, that unless someone takes aggressive, active steps with her ? I’m talking serious intervention ? that we’re going to watch yet another meltdown.?

?

All I can say is good luck Miley, you are going to need a hell of a lot of it to get through your teenage years unscathed.
