Miley Cyrus will dump Hannah Montana. The much maligned teen starlet will bid adieu to her TV character after filming concludes for a fourth season and move forward to more adult-oriented roles. Earlier reports have claimed she has taken a linking to sexy "Gossip Girl" blonde Blake Lively.  Disney Channel boss Adam Bonnett told reporters of the Hannah Montana series: "Right now we're scheduled to wrap after shooting this new batch of episodes... The (new) episodes will continue to roll out at least over a full year."

More Miley...(But Not Hannah) Cyrus, 17, has fallen in love with Phillip Island, off Australia's southern coast. Miley reportedly called her dad Billy Ray Cyrus to tell him she adored her stay on the Victorian island that drew a super-cool rock crowd to Australia over new year.
The teen sensation was at Purple Hen Winery on the island when she was overheard telling her father how much she enjoyed the romantic getaway with Liam Hemsworth, 19.

The pair were reported staying with Hemsworth family members. They frequented the Pyramid Rock Festival, which featured hot local band Empire of the Sun. "She was telling him what a beautiful place Phillip Island was and how much she had fallen in love with it.
And she was very keen to tell him how nice it was to be able to enjoy a holiday without the usual media frenzy that follows her, and was really enjoying the anonymity."  
Winery staff said Cyrus made for the "perfect guest" and had just a sip of wine from Hemsworth's glass. The family threw a lunch and a barbecue at their home to welcome Cyrus on New Year's Eve. Hemsworth's mother Leonie, meanwhile, was reported pulling some savvy driving moves on her way to Melbourne Airport with the pair as she dodged trailing photographers.

It's all go for Martin Campbell on the Green Lantern adaptation right now. Thursday saw the film get the official green light from Warners and now the female lead has been cast: Blake Lively will be the Lantern's love interest.

Lively, usually to be found starring in soapy US TV drama Gossip Girl, was one of several candidates that the lads over at Latino Review revealed were under consideration for the part.

Carol Ferris is the woman in charge of her father's aerospace company, and who hires cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds), the man fated to become intergalactic law keeper Green Lantern.

According to the Heat Vision Blog, the role was actually aimed at a slightly older actress (since A) Reynolds is in his 30s and B) the role requires you to believe she runs a massive company but Lively nabbed the part thanks to a solid audition and her work in Ben Affleck's latest film, The Town.

Now we just need to know who will be playing the likes of the chief villain, Sinestro. The film itself will arrive in June 2011.

Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin have worked New Year's Eve together for the last time thanks to Falcon Heene, the balloon boy. Her crude remarks about the family are said to be enough for the news network to dump her from future shows, an insider has claimed.

Miley Cyrus wants to be a sex symbol? A source claims she wants to turn heads like stunning Gossip Girl starlet Blake Lively. Follow the stars of Hollywood's nights below.

One - CNN has banned Kathy Griffin! Towerload has video here and cites AOL's Pop Eater and reports they "make it sound like she's been banned from the entire network."  
Spokeswoman Shimrit Sheetrit says no decisions have been made about next year's show.  

Two - Disney star Miley Cyrus reportedly wants to follow in the footsteps of Blake Lively and shed her teen image and become a sex symbol.  
The Hannah Montana actress recently turned 17, but is said to be tired of playing the popular teen sensation. A source said: "She wants to break out and become a sex symbol, just like her new pal, Gossip Girl's Blake Lively. She idolizes her. In her mind, she's done being Hannah Montana. She wants to be a sexy pop star."

Tiger Woods jokes hit SNL.  And just who is Mindy Lawton, the latest to come forward in the scandal that has rocked the golfer.  Details below on Mindy's claims, but first Wods got the treatment from Gossip Girl star Blake Lively as she played Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren in a TV comedy sketch. The Saturday Night Live skit featured guest host Lively as Nordegren alongside a battered and bruised Woods (Kenan Thompson) finally addressing the media.

Woods makes the mistake of apologising for his “multiple transgressions” – with startled Nordegren snapping: “Multiple? So it happened more than once?”

The sketch then cut to a news flash announcing Woods had been back in hospital after falling down some stairs and then “inadvertenty threw himself through a plate glass window”.
Woods then holds up sheets of paper with the hidden messages “Help me”, “I’m scared” and “She’s stronger than she looks” on the back of them. But he was in trouble again as Nordegren noticed them and lunged at him.

More Tiger updates:
Earlier Jennifer Cox and Sophie Eager updated reports that include cell phone texting, and even claims of new racy photos of another alleged mistress.
How many more will come forwards?  Britain's News of the World tabloid introduces a new girl on Sunday with detailed information about Tiger's house and his garage.  Photos and more from the newspaper.  The woman has a video interview and some very detailed information.

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively has said it can feel like you are a 'zoo animal' sometimes as a celebrity. The 22-year-old actress plays Serena van der Woodsen in the TV series and she said the media interest can sometimes feel too much.

She said to Parade.com: "The paparazzi frenzy and the media frenzy that is happening right now is really kind of out of control. For me, it's very important to keep my personal life personal."
"It's odd sometimes when people look at you like a zoo animal when you're at a restaurant eating dinner. People are staring at you and pulling out their camera phones."
"I'm just a human being and sometimes a messy eater - so it's really unpleasant to be scrutinized like that."

More pop...Kim Kardashian has said she is "so excited" about becoming an aunt next month. The 28-year-old reality star will become an aunt when her older sister Kourtney, 30, gives birth to a baby boy in December.
With just a month to go until the due date, Kim said to In Touch: "I'm so excited! I want to buy him a whole room at my house, so I can watch him, and Kourtney can sleep over and feel comfortable."
Kim was talking at eBay's first holiday boutique in New York, where she bought a high chair and camera for her unborn nephew. She added: "It's important to me to take pictures of the baby. It's more important than diapers!"

Feeling left out of the planning, Blair (Leighton Meester) attempts to win Chuck's approval by secretly helping him with a problem concerning opening night.
