Ratatouille Wins Best Animated Film At the 80th Academy

Ratatouille has won the Best animated Film at the 80th Academy Awards. Congratulations to the little guy. All the rats must be very proud. Ratatouille beat out Persepolis and Surf's Up.

Ratatouille is the Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA Award and Grammy Award winning animated feature film produced by Pixar and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.

The story is about Rémy (voiced by
Patton Oswalt), a rat living in Paris who wants to be a chef, but negative feedback from his family and the prejudice of humans threaten to hinder his dreams. Remy the rat longs to exercise his talents as a gourmet chef and gets the chance when he finds himself in a famous Parisian restaurant after becoming separated from his family during an escape through the sewers. Rémy does his best to live the life of a gourmet.

When his secret improvements to the restaurant's food are mistakenly attributed to Linguini, the garbage boy, the two team up to form an unlikely culinary partnership that will benefit them both. Rémy meets yet another obstacle in the form of a famous as well as antagonistic food critic named Anton Ego, "The Grim Eater."

The film was the eighth movie produced by Pixar, and was directed by
Brad Bird,

The title is a
pun on the French peasant dish ratatouille.

Movie:Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert

If you were one of the thousands of fans who got to see Miley Cyrus on tour for her “Best of Both Worlds” show, here’s your opportunity to relive the memories. And if you didn’t get a ticket the first time around, here’s your chance to see the concert.

The concert/docu film,Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, gave Hannah Montana fans an opportunity to relive the memories of the "Best of Both Worlds" tour. This is also a great treat for those who did not get the chance to see the show live because the tour usually sold out within hours of going public. The Walt Disney Picture was presented in Disney Digital 3-D. It was released in the U.S. and Canada originally for one week, February 1-7, 2008, with releases in other countries later on. The film was rated G by the MPAA.

The Movie will be released in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2008 and in Australia and Chile on March 20, 2008.

Miley Ray Cyrus Brings A little Joy To Sick Youngsters

On January 6th Miley visited the Children’s National Medical Centert before her concert in Washington D.c. The teen pop star paid a visit to the Georgetown University Medical Center and Children’s Hospital as part of the Tracy’s Kids charity.

Cyrus who recently had her name legally change to Miley Ray Cyrus met with approximately 100 parents and their children and posed for oodles of pictures and signed autographs for all the sick youngsters. She really did put a smile on their faces and made them forget their the pain for a moment.

My Name is Miley Ray Cyrus!

Miley Cyrus who plays Disney's Hannah Montana is now legally Miley Ray Cyrus in honor of her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Miley Cyrus, born Destiny Hope Cyrus, adopted her childhood nickname "Miley", short for "Smiley" as her stage name.

I personally think she should keep the Destiny Hope making a full name Miley Ray Destiny Hope Cyrus with the short version being Miley Ray Cyrus. Most people never really know that people have other names unless if you're a celebrity. I think children should be allowed to choose their names while keeping their original birth names. I like Miley Ray Destiny Hope Cyrus. It sounds complete and right.
