“I was kind of skeptical,” says Georgina, who requested The Hollywood Reporter use only her first name to protect her identity. Weinberg gave her the number of the writers room. “I called because I wanted to protect myself.” The receptionist vouched for him as “a nice guy.” Days later, Georgina arrived at his home, and, she recalls, “that’s when my whole world just blew up.”

After giving her a glass of water,...

The co-creator of Miley Cyrus' TV show is suing Disney bosses, claiming he is owed royalties from Hannah Montana merchandise.

Michael Poryes filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Monday (6oct08), accusing executives at the studio of failing to pay him a cut of the profits from Hannah Montana movies, books and other accessories, citing the billions Disney has profited from the success of the franchise.

He is seeking almost $1 million (GBP540,000) in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages, interest and court costs, reports TMZ.com.

Hannah Montana co-creator Michael Poryes has slammed the press for its treatment of star Miley Cyrus. Poryes, who serves as the executive producer on the Disney Channel show, said the 15-year-old should be left to grow up outside the media glare. He is quoted as saying: "To say the tabloids are paying attention to her is a very kind way of saying it. It becomes like Miley Cyrus bites her fingernails is news at 11.

The creator of hit TV show Hannah Montana has called on the press to leave Miley Cyrus alone - insisting the media is unfairly scrutinising her life.

Cyrus, 15, shot to international fame on the Disney Channel programme, but has been hit by a series of scandals throughout this year.

Most recently, the teen was accused of inappropriately flaunting her body in a controversial Vanity Fair photoshoot.

But Michael Poryes, co-creator and executive producer of the series, insists the media should stop giving Cyrus a hard time, as she is just going through the usual stresses of being a teenager.

He says, "To say the tabloids are paying attention to her is a very kind way of saying it. It becomes like Miley Cyrus bites her finger nails is news at 11.

"They don't give her a break for being able to go through the aches and pains of being an adolescent. Everyone has the right to go through being an adolescent. They blow everything out of proportion and a little misstep becomes the biggest tragedy that ever struck mankind."

And Poryes reveals that everyone involved with the TV show is going out of their way to make Cyrus feel better about herself.

He adds, "The challenge of that is to do our best to make Miley feel - at least in this circle of people - that it's fine to make mistakes, you're not going to be judged or scrutinised on set."...
