Miley: Million-dollar writer?Sick of yet? Disney sure isn’t.

Having already conquered the small screen and broken box office records for the big screen, the uber-successful pop star has recently signed a seven-figure deal with Disney-Hyperion, probably the most any fifteen year-old has been paid to write a book.

As if Disney hasn’t used and abused their cash cow enough, the book is set to release in 2009, right about when the movie will premiere. Oh how I love Disney’s avariciousness.

The memoir will chronicle Miley’s early life in Tennessee, then later exploring her move and adjustment to Los Angeles, where the Cyrus family currently resides.

I simply cannot figure out where the logic in this book lies. Yes, children and pre-teens love to watch Miley. Yes, children and pre-teens love to listen and purchase Miley’s albums. Do children and pre-teens really want to read about her life? I know I’m one of the few people my age nowadays that still enjoys reading, but how many children and pre-teens are in my boat? With the exception of a few, celebrity biographies these days don’t do tremendously well.

The exception? , Nicole Richie, and Pam Anderson. Anyone see the connection? So unless a Miley sex tape pops up, I don’t see her book performing too well. Then again, no one knew her 3D concert movie would do so well, so I suppose we’ll just wait and see.
