In a recent interview with Seventeen Magazine, Miley Cyrus was asked about her “The Last Song” co-star Liam Hemsworth. It’s obvious by what she said that they have something very special.

"I’ve never gotten along with someone so well," Miley tells Seventeen via People. "I was a little anxious about making this movie; I wanted everything to be perfect. To go on set and feel insecure was a totally new element for me. But he felt the same way. He admitted his insecurities, and it was really nice to have someone who understands me for once."

Miley is featured on the cover of Seventeen for their December/January issue, which is out on November 24th.

As you all know, Miley deleted her twitter account and is trying to keep her private life more to herself. This is something she told Seventeen Magazine that her and Liam had agreed on, to always keep their relationship “very D.L.”.

She told the magazine, "It sucks when your personal life becomes public. So I’m finding ways to make my personal and private life more of my life – which is one of the reasons why I deleted my Twitter. We’ve decided that any type of relationship that we have, we will always just keep it very D.L. First and foremost, we are best friends, so that’s what I tell people all the time."

You can read the rest of the interview with Miley Cyrus here and look for the magazine in stores next week!

Mickey’s look has definitely changed over the years, as technology has grown. He’s about to get yet another makeover in the video game Epic Mickey. The New York Times reports that in Epic Mickey the "formerly squeaky clean character can be cantankerous and cunning, as well as heroic”.

Also, don’t forget that in honor of the Mouse’s 81st birthday, children celebrating a birthday from now until Christmas, get into the Disneyland theme park for free. All visitors need to do is pre-register on the Disneyland website. The offer ends on December 31st 2009.

I absolutely LOVED Disneynature’s “Earth” movie and their next one looks like it will not disappoint either. Walt Disney Studios has released the extended trailer for “Oceans”, a film that boldly chronicles the mysteries that lie beneath. I posted a few pictures from this new movie here.

Disneynature, the studio that presented the record-breaking film “Earth,” brings OCEANS to the big screen on Earth Day, 2010.  Nearly three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered by water and OCEANS boldly chronicles the mysteries that lie beneath.  Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud dive deep into the very waters that sustain all of mankind—exploring the playful splendor and the harsh reality of the weird and wonderful creatures that live within.  Featuring spectacular never-before-seen imagery captured by the latest underwater technologies, OCEANS offers an unprecedented look beneath the sea in a powerful yet enchanting motion picture that unfolds on April 22, 2010. 

As we mentioned yesterday, the trailer for Miley Cyrus’ latest movie “The Last Song” was being released. Did you see it? We posted one of the photos that were released on Facebook here. Here’s the trailer!

Walt Disney Studios also sent me the official synopsis for the movie.

Based on best-selling novelist Nicholas Sparks’ (“A Walk to Remember,” “The Notebook”) latest novel, THE LAST SONG is set in a small Southern beach town where an estranged father (GREG KINNEAR) gets a chance to spend the summer with his reluctant teenaged daughter (MILEY CYRUS), who’d rather be home in New York. He tries to reconnect with her through the only thing they have in common—music—in a story of family, friendship, secrets and salvation, along with first loves and second chances. The film is directed by Julie Anne Robinson from a screenplay by Sparks & Jeff Van Wie.

Cast: Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, Bobby Coleman, Hallock Beals, Nick Lashaway, Carly Chaikin, Nick Searcy, Kate Vernon, with Kelly Preston and Greg Kinnear.
