Bob Dylan To Receive The Miley Cyrus Treatment

Bob Dylan will be covered by Miley Cyrus on an upcoming tribute album set for release early next year. The project will serve as a fundraiser for Amnesty International and is titled Chimes Of Freedom: Songs Of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International.

Thus far there has been no official word on what track Miley will cover for the album. She joins a diverse mix of pop and rock hitmakers for the project including Adele, who will cover "Make You Feel My Love," as well as Sting, the Dave Matthews Band, Patti Smith and My Morning Jacket.

Cyrus is not, however, the only mainstream pop act enlisted for the project. Ke$ha also recently confirmed she'll offer up a rendition of the track "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" noting:

"When you think of me, you wouldn't think of Bob Dylan. My music is more about the going crazy than politics. But he's a huge influence - he writes his own music and means what he says. I write my own music and I mean every word I sing."

Pint-Sized Miley Cyrus Hacker Seeks Jail Pass

Citing his diminutive physical stature among other mitigating factors, the Tennessee man who hacked Miley Cyrus’s e-mail account has asked a federal judge to spare him prison time when he appears Monday for sentencing on felony spamming and computer fraud charges.

In an October 26 pre-sentencing memorandum, the lawyer for Josh Holly, 22, argued that a probation term would be “sufficiently onerous punishment for a first-time offender of immature mental age.” Even a brief jail term, attorney Sumter Camp contended, “would hinder rather than aid Josh’s rehabilitation.”

Camp also noted that Holly deserved credit for meeting earlier this year with an FBI agent to provide “information about others that he was aware were involved in illegal computer-related activities.”

Holly, pictured in the above mug shot, pleaded guilty in August to possessing about 200 stolen credit card numbers and to sending spam mailings via MySpace. He has not been charged in connection with the late-2007 Cyrus hack, for which he took credit in online postings, as well as in an October 2008 FBI interview. Holly distributed online racy images of the underage Cyrus that he found in her Gmail account.

Responding today to Camp’s memo, a federal prosecutor wrote that he would not challenge factors raised about Holly’s “youth, mental and emotional issues and physical stature.” Though government lawyer Hilliard Hester did note that he was the same height as the 5’ 6” Holly, who was “not so remarkably short” that a downward sentencing is warranted.

As for Holly’s “suggested sentence of probation with home detention,” Hester countered that such a penalty would not be sufficient, stating that “further negative reinforcement is needed to deter future criminal conduct.” The prosecutor also noted that Holly recently violated terms of his release by accessing the Internet and posting messages on Facebook and Google+.

In a July 4 Facebook post, Holly wrote, "I’m having these strong urges to start playing around and hacking shit again, there’s so much new stuff on the net. I can’t stop these urges. Am I a bad person?” Holly's unauthorized online activity was described in a U.S. District Court filing made by a Pretrial Services Officer.

While the respective court submissions do not detail the specific sentencing guideline range Holly faces, it appears that his possible prison exposure is limited. In fact, Hester wrote that if Judge Aleta Trauger opted for a probationary sentence, the Department of Justice recommended that Holly “serve three (3) consecutive days in actual custody” to be followed by 90 days in a halfway house.

Miley Cyrus Hacker Secrets Revealed

A man who claims to have hacked the emails and cell phones of numerous celebrities -- including those who were hacked by the Hackerazzi who now faces criminal charges -- has given TMZ a road map on how he did the dirty deed.

A man who has been contacting TMZ for nearly two years -- trying to peddle multiple celeb images, including nude pics of Scarlett Johansson -- has revealed how he hacked Miley Cyrus' Gmail account.

The man says he simply went to Miley's Gmail and tried accessing it. The prompt asked a security question ... the name of one of her girlfriends. He guessed the one she's known the longest, based on a Google search -- and he scored.

He says, "When I saw that, I couldn't believe it."

As for who the man is ... we've never met him, but it could be Christoper Chaney using a different email address.

Miley Cyrus and Brenda Song, Sisters!

The Cyrus family is getting a little larger as Miley Cyrus gets ready for a sister-in-law to be added to the family tree since her brother, Trace, recently revealed his engagement to Brenda Song.

Trace and Brenda have been the subject of various rumors for a while now, but Miley’s brother finally put one of those rumors to rest when he tweeted on Friday, “I am very excited to say, last week I asked my girlfriend Brenda Song to marry me and she said YES! We are both very excited to be engaged!”

Former Disney Channel star, Song, didn’t leave her fans out of the loop either because she shared the news on Saturday, sending the little tweet bird out with the message, “Thank you guys for your love! I am indeed engaged. Could not be happier xo BS”

The two made their first public appearance together back in May, and the couple have been dealing with rumors concerning marriage and pregnancy since then. Neither Cyrus, 22, nor Song, 23, has made any official statements regarding a wedding date and neither has confirmed or denied rumors about a baby Cyrus being on the way.

What does Miley think about big brother’s upcoming nuptials? She took to Twitter (of course) to give her opinion, tweeting, “Can’t wait for Brenda to be a Cyrus

Miley Cyrus Makes a Difference in Haiti

The singer recently returned from a trip to Haiti with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, where she helped that organization hand out hundreds of hearing aids to those still devastated by last year's earthquake.

“This second mission to Haiti was just as impactful to me as the first one," said Cyrus. "I grew up around music and couldn’t imagine what it would be like for my siblings and me, if we couldn’t hear the magic of music. It’s had such an influence on my life, that I just want everyone to enjoy sound as it was intended."

Impressive stuff, Miley. This sort of thing goes a long way toward helping the artist prove she is not a bad girl.

Miley Cyrus Sex Tape Leaked Online?

Miley Cyrus has gotten racier and racier over the years with her performances, photo shoots and everything else, in an obvious attempt to shed her Disney star image.

Reports are swirling across the internet that there’s a sex tape featuring the 18-year-old singer!

For research purposes, we’ve had to seek out this “tape” and verify its authenticity (or not). We’ve located the porn video and can tell you that it doesn’t look like it’s actually Miley in the clip. It bares a bit of a resemblance, but we don’t think Miley has reached Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton levels of desperation yet, so you pervs are just going to have to wait…until next year probably. Ha.

Have you seen the tape that’s making the rounds? Let us know if you thought it was really Miley…or if you were just having some wishful thinking. Perhaps she will resort to this type of thing when people start saying “Miley who?”
