HANNAH MONTANA CAUGHT USING BODY DOUBLE
NEW YORK (AP) — The body double was only on stage for a few seconds, and the switcheroo was relatively innocuous. But since it involved the "Hannah Montana" show — the sold-out tour for which tickets have been scalped for hundreds of dollars — even the use of a brief stand-in for its star, 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, was enough to cause plenty of buzz when video of the switch was posted on the Internet.
"This tour is such a phenomenon everybody is trying to find some angle to write about it," said Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of Pollstar, the trade publication that tracks tours. "This tour was the phenomenon of 2007 and it’s still going strong in 2008."
