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.

SO, what do you think?!

He asked her about twitter and said when she left, he felt like he lost a part of himself, lol. Miley said, “Did you?” She went on to say that she was one of few on twitter who didn’t use it as marketing, to ask people to buy her album, but instead used it as something positive for kids to come see.

Which, if you ask me, is a little weird since she was known as the emo twitterer and definitely wasn’t mostly positive, but it’s all good. She’s happy, twitter and her fans have recuperated from her leaving, so now we can all just move on. Right?

Miley also chatted about her movie “The Last Song”, saving Fuzzy and life after her hit Disney Channel series Hannah Montana.

And last but not least…Miley talked about who she is currently crushing over: “Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl. I just saw him in The Stepfather and I’m pretty obsessed with him. I actually didn’t know who he was and I went to see the movie as a joke, because the previews looked scary but I wasn’t sure if it was scary. It was actually a good movie.”

Great interview!

Mitchel Musso performed his hit single “Shout It” and JONAS star Chelsea Staub answered the question everyone has been dying to know…Are the Jonas Brothers breaking up. Well, are they?

She said, “We’re growing up and I think Nick wants to try something new and try something on his own and become a more independent. I know he has Kevin and Joe’s full support and don’t worry, the Jonas Brothers as a unit aren’t going anywhere. We still get many more concerts and albums from them.”

Phew! That’s good to hear. Check out Mitchel’s performance below.

When asked about Camp Rock 2, she said “Just finished Camp Rock 2, so that’ll be coming out sometime next year and I’m excited for everyone to see that because it’s going to be big and bright and beautiful”.

Sounds good to me! Are you excited about Camp Rock 2?

The sequel’s storyline follows Mitchie, Shane, Jason, Nate and their friends as they return to Camp Rock for another great summer of music and fun. However they soon learn that a new state-of-the-art music/performance camp, Camp Star, has opened across the lake and has lured away many of Camp Rock instructors and campers — putting the future of Camp Rock in jeopardy.

And when Camp Star’s hotshot performer, Luke Williams, challenges Camp Rock to a musical showdown to see which camp really has the stronger musical talent, everyone prepares for the ultimate battle of the bands. Meanwhile, in a classic "Romeo and Juliet" twist, Nate falls for the daughter of the owner of the rival camp.
