We're called Twangtown, Music City, Tune Town, Cashville, and even Nashvegas... but, this week we're all basking in the spotlight of Hillbillywood. Yep, the premiere of Hannah Montana, the Movie has all eyes looking this way.

Not only did Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley film a chunk of the new G-rated movie here, but he's looking to move more TV and/or movie production to Nashville. He told me that even Disney got excited about Tennessee after seeing all our natural resources and cheapER production costs last year when filming around Nashville.

I got a chance to hang out with everyone when I was cast as an "extra" for a week on the movie last June (and, no, BRC didn't know I was there). Let me tell you something, Billy Ray and "Tish" have done a great job with the kid. Miley is one of the most professional and poised entertainers I've ever been around. AND, when BRC tells me that Miley has pushed her own career from the beginning, I believe it. She handled the re-takes, the cast and crew, the direction, and THE 100+ degree HEAT... like a trooper. That girl has talent and spirit... and never copped an attitude. She loves what she does.

Look for Rascal Flatts, bff /Taylor Swift, and Bucky Covington to grab a scene, too. Billy Ray and Miley both have new songs and singles from the movie that are really good! BTW, throughout the years, Mr. Cyrus has always had time for Racing Country.... never gotten "too big for his britches"! You hear gossip and wonder if it's true.... well, it's not. Talk to the hand!
