Me loving Hannah Montana makes me Gayer than Gay?
The 3-D “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert” movie was number one this past Super Bowl weekend. For many this is a shocking and surprising victory, seeing as how the movie played on only 680 theaters across the nation. So how did this young upstart manage such a feat? Well, it’s quite simple really: the reason this Disney phenom blasted past all contenders is because, well, Hannah Montana totally rocks!
Yup, it’s true, I’m a fan. And yes, this officially makes me gayer than gay, so sue me. I boldly, and without irony, can say that my fat fanny was sitting in one of those 680 theaters this past Friday night proudly sporting my 3-D shades, humming and smiling and just grooving without shame to this Tiger Beat star! Said movie theater was completely sold out and fully packed, the line to get is was a 45 min wait! The attendees boiled down to me (in all my 33 year old guy-ness), my adorable boy friend (who despite all his wishes is 28 and male and not 13, female, and a teenybopper) and about 75 screaming, dancing, hopping, over-energized 5-14 years old girls and their slightly bored and mortified parent(s) (who more often than not could be seen blackberring away in a vain effort to salvage their adult “I’m only here for my kid” dignity).
Oh sure, this pint-sized, deep-voiced-tween – who in my opinion brings the noise and the funk with her catchy songs – has a perfectly crafted and marketed image owned by white, soulless, suit-wearing corporate head honchos, but I just can’t deign that I am a total sucker for little Miss Miley Cyrus and her TV alter-ego Hannah Montana (yes, they are one in the same person!). So what if sometimes my brain just wants pure, clean, throw-away pop and pink, girly, lip glossy fun. Is that so wrong? A boy (or man in this case) could do worst then to belong to the Hannah Montana money-making-machine and its girl targeted contingency, right?

you love it because you yourself ARE pure, pink, girly, lip glossy fun (of the bath and body works variety)
One thing you definitely are NOT is clean.

Hey Bri,
We walked past the The Ziegfeld Theater here in NYC last weekend and the line for this was over a block long in the windy wet winter freeze. I have to say that not only did I not really have much of a desire to get in line, the line itself was the first I had even heard of the concert/3D movie. I guess I have just proved my less than gay-ness to the world.

Doesn’t make you gay, but it probably makes you a pedophile :)
I’m so glad that I dodge the Mannah Montcyrus craze with my kids, because I would move them to Amish country away from televisions to get away from it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “celebrity” more annoying in interviews than she is, and I’ve had to sit through Baba Wawa specials with self-righteous and annoying pricks like Madonna and Angelina Jolie and Eddie Murphy.
I can’t wait for her to go away, but like most Disney-funded cash machines, unless pictures of her show up on the net in front of a mirror with her huge beaver out for everybody to see, I’m guessing we’ll have to suffer through this for at least another 10 years. Yay us.
