I entered a battle of wits against a 15-year-old girl and came out tied. But, hey, at least I did better than a lot of you.
Yesterday, we revealed that during my interview with Miley Cyrus Superstar, the "Hannah Montana" chanteuse slipped two code words into our 8 minute chat to win a bet with a handful of Disney publicists – who dared her to insert a few nonsensical phrases, but to do it so I wouldn't notice.
"I got two," she excitedly revealed to me after our interview. You guys, meanwhile, only got one.
User herbertswimnot correctly guessed that "red nail polish" was one of the words. Congratulations, you win the adulation of our entire staff. Not too much adulation though: If you watch the video again you'll notice I picked up on it as well. She was answering a question about Dolly Parton, and segued into this weird description of her nails. Seemed out of place.
But I never would have guessed the second. Probably because I gave her too much help – the opportunity was right in the question when I asked "Would you ever like to be an action star?"
Sure, she said, as long as I get to bring along an action star staple…binoculars. And with that, she had her two code words. And I had a solid piece of reporting.
But not our only one…Check out all Miley-palooza at MTV News this week to celebrate her role in the animated "Bolt," including news on the future of Hannah Montana, the very real possibility that she might win an Oscar for a song she co-wrote for the film, her ambitions to release a country music album, and her feelings of empathy towards the main character in the film, a Hollywood star who has to remember to have fun.
