In an interview with Access Hollywood, Miley’s father and co-star Billy Ray Cyrus said that President-elect Barack Obama’s daughters could appear on an episode of the popular Disney channel show in the near future.

“They probably will. The invitation is there,” Billy Ray told the celebrity TV show. “You know the ‘Hannah Montana’ film comes out in April. Maybe something might happen around then.”

And the teen sensation Miley Cyrus can’t wait, saying, “I think that would be really cool… They could see what we do and we could hear about what they do.

“They are kind of like me before I started my own career. You are kind of put in it because their dad and because of my dad, so I would want it to be normal and they could come hang out on the set with normal girls. I think that would be fun for them.”

Obama also assured Americans who do not vote for him that “I may not have won your votes tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help and I will be your president too,” he said.

Angelina Jolie Says ‘Barack Obama Would Be Great For My Family’

October 11th, 2008 | Posted in Politics

politics Angelina Jolie Says Barack Obama Would Be Great For My Family

U.N. Peace Ambassador Angelina Jolie has hinted that she may vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama this fall.

The celebrity humanitarian recently sat down with the German edition of Vanity Fair magazine to talk about everything from politics to her family. Here are some excerpts from their candid conversation:

Angelina Jolie on why she could be voting for Barack Obama:
“Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family but would not be a reason to vote for someone.”

Angelina Jolie on why she’s proud of the USA:
“I am very proud of being American, and all my children have got American passports. For me, our family is just what America is - a melting pot, a mixture of many different races and nations. My children should be proud of their Asian and African roots, but that in no way means [is] a lack of respect for the fact that they and their parents are Americans.”

Angelina Jolie on her twins Knox and Vivienne:
“It’s a damned arduous business, and we are often simply whacked out because it is twice as hard with two babies as with one. But it also makes for double the fun. After we flew back from Europe, we were all suffering a bit from jetlag. We were all in bed early, but at half past four, they were awake and making a real racket… Brad took care of them. He said to me, ‘Go back to sleep, you’re back to work in the morning,’ and moved into the kids’ room with them. He is an astounding father, full of devotion… [Knox and Vivienne] have quite similar, stable rhythms. Every three hours they get hungry, then I have to satisfy them. But that’s OK, the two of them are totally sweet. When you see them, you think they were made for each other. They laugh together, they sniff each other, touch each other. It is beautiful.”

Angelina Jolie on struggling to find alone time with Brad Pitt:
“Sometimes, at the end of the day, we try to retire to the bathroom to be undisturbed,” she says. “But then [the kids] hear the water running and want to come in and, yet again, we are all together. But that doesn’t disturb us because they are great kids.”

Angelina Jolie on how fame has changed motherhood for her:
“I would like to have more freedom, especially to have the chance to be more spontaneous with my kids. Would I like to be able to walk through the streets with my kids? Of course. Would I like to be able to wander around Manhattan and buy them an ice cream like other mothers? Of course. But it is not possible. On the other hand, every morning I wake up with the people who are the most dear to me in the whole world. That’s why I don’t feel isolated from that, which is important to me. It helps, of course, that Brad knows all about it, but he’s experienced it even more than me. We often talk about it and try to make the best of things. But I am very grateful for our life and everything that we have.”

Tatyana Ali Goes Hollyweird In King Magazine

magazines Tatyana Ali Goes Hollyweird In King Magazine

Actress Tatyana Ali is starring in the July 2008 issue of King Magazine.

Her interview in the prestigious publication speaks about her upcoming movie Hotel California, being black in Hollyweird, her new album and presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

What are your thoughts on black Hollywood?
It’s kind of like the Wild West out there, and not just for black Hollywood. In a traditional sense, things look bad—there are people out of work, shows aren’t going up and a lot of films aren’t being made, because of the fear of actors going on strike. But I think it’s a real fertile time to stake your claim. With things up in the air, it creates new space for people who are trying to break through, business-wise.

In the magazine, Barack praises his wife Michelle as an “extraordinary mother” to their two daughters, Malia, 9, and Sasha, 7.

Michelle and her older brother slept in the living room. This taught her the importance of family, determination and hard work. She went on to graduate from Princeton and Harvard Law School.

Be sure to check out the latest issue of Us Weekly to read the full cover story on why Barack Obama loves Michelle, her struggle to get pregnant, why she rejected Barack when he first asked her out, and how she took her best friend to see Sex and the City on opening day.
