Reruns of former original series’ – “Hannah Montana” & “Sonny With A Chance” – will no longer air on Disney Channel U.S. (;soon worldwide).30 Oct via Disney Channel
According to a report, Demi Lovato and her family watched the series finale of Hannah Montana last Sunday. It was not stated where they watched it from but we are assuming that it was from the treatment facility. Dianna is quoted in this report as saying that Demster has always been a fan of Hannah Montana and would not miss the finale.
“Demi has admired Miley Cyrus and will always admire her. Of course as a big fan of Hannah Montana I do not think she would miss the series finale.” Dianna is quoted as saying.
We have a tweet from Dianna’s Twitter that may partially verify that Demi and her did watch the finale together.
Aww!! Demster may have cried when Hannah ended. Regardless of whether the intial report is true or not we are sure Demster was able to watch the finale of the show at some point. What are your thoughts?
Update: It appears that we may have misinterpreted Diannas tweet. We are being told she was referring to Maddie and not Demi in this tweet. We appologize for our error. The source did state that Demi did watch the finale to Hannah.

I'm so glad to see #hannahmontanaforever trend. It was such an amazing show! I'll always remember Hannah Montana.If you’re hoping for some sort of profound conclusion for the Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana” franchise, you’ve been watching the wrong show. In the final episode, showing at 6 p.m. Sunday, Miley Cyrus wraps up the secret-identity saga true to form: mugging, hamming it up and trying on funny glasses.
Instead of saying goodbye with a bear hug, “Hannah Montana” gives us the equivalent of an amiable arm punch.
That’s only appropriate, though. “Hannah Montana” is what it is — or rather, was what it was. Lighthearted and completely illogical, it could have been a cartoon for all its depth. Nobody watching the Disney Channel wants to cry.
Miley Stewart’s final conundrum is this: Should she keep her promise to her best friend, Lilly (the undersung Emily Osment), and room with her at Stanford? Or should she jump at a sudden offer to co-star with Tom Cruise in a Steven Spielberg movie?
(An aside: Tom Cruise is the most tempting actor they could come up with for a teen? Really?)
The last episode is predictable and safe, with a message about the importance of friendship. Yawn. What’s been far more surprising is that Miley Cyrus has finished out her Disney career with something close to grace. Despite all expectations, Cyrus hasn’t turned out to be a bad role model.
She’s not squeaky clean, to be sure. In real life, Cyrus has delighted in wearing sleazy clothes, making out with boys, taking suggestive pictures of herself and partying. But I’d be more worried about an 18-year-old who didn’t do that.
“Hannah Montana” has been on TV for four years, and once Disney realized what a hit it was, it cashed in any way it could. Cyrus has been touring, recording eight albums, starring in movies and pushing dolls, wigs, inflatable pool accessories, karaoke machines and more.
But here’s what Cyrus hasn’t done:
♦ Entered rehab.
♦ Been hospitalized for “exhaustion.”
♦ Been arrested.
♦ Shaved her head.
♦ Attacked the paparazzi.
♦ Acted shocked at the existence of a sex tape.
♦ Sued her parents.
From what we’ve learned about child actors, that, my friends, is nothing short of a miracle.
Cyrus has been acting since she was 9 years old, under considerable pressure. Her father owes his job to her (his main contribution to the finale is a fart joke), her mother has been linked to rocker Bret Michaels (divorce is imminent), and every week Cyrus can watch a parody of herself on “Saturday Night Live.”
Cyrus has more than earned a nervous breakdown.
But she chose to film a fourth season of “Hannah Montana,” doing right by Disney and her fans. What other child actor would have made it this far without a mug shot?
For comparison’s sake, think about the fact that Taylor Momsen of “Gossip Girl” was also considered for the role of Hannah Montana. Have you seen her lately? In real life, Momsen wears raccoon makeup and tattered lingerie with her band the Pretty Reckless to perform her most popular song, “Make Me Wanna Die.”
Cyrus just looks better and better.
Don’t expect much of a departure, given her future projects. She’s already wrapped the movie “LOL,” about a high school student dealing with peer pressure. Now she’s filming “So Undercover” (original title: “I’m Like Sooo Undercover”), about a private eye who goes undercover in a college sorority.
Hey, not every actor wants to stretch himself.
Earlier this season, Hannah Montana came out of the closet, took off her wig and told the world that she was Miley Stewart. Miley Cyrus deserves the same courtesy. It’s time we release her from the hypocrisy of Disney stardom.
Go ahead, Miley — act your age. Elope to Vegas, take that stripper role or retire if you’ve had enough. You’ve delighted little girls for years, and sold landfills of merchandise.
Take a cue from Miley Stewart, and just be you.

It's hard to believe that after Sunday's final episode of "Hannah Montana,"Miley Cyrus will officially leave her alter ego behind. After four seasons, 98 episodes, a full-length movie and a 3-D concert film, Cyrus will be hanging up her blond wig for good.
As the show wraps up, it begs the question: What's next for the teen queen? Well, Cyrus, 18, seems to be putting recent tabloid troubles behind her and concentrating on her very busy movie career. She has several flicks in the works, including "LOL," in which she stars alongside Demi Moore and"Twilight" star Ashley Greene.
"Miley is a phenomenon — she's accomplished so much in the movie, TV and music worlds that it's not surprising how much attention was attracted during filming," co-star Greene said. "But we're both professional and understand that we're there to do our jobs. Work was our number-one priority, and everything else was background."
Miley's also currently filming the action-comedy flick "So Undercover," in which she plays an FBI agent.
"I've been actually doing all kinds of stuff. ... I've been doing fighting, like learning how to box ... mostly street fighting, so knowing how to, like, if someone comes up from behind you, being able to defend yourself," she said about her role. "I have a trainer and I have bruises everywhere from kicking the bags. ... And I've learned how to use guns, which was really scary." Filming for "So Undercover" is well under way, and she's been hanging out with co-star Kelly Osbourne. In addition to "So Undercover," Miley's set to work on the thriller "Wake," and is rumored to be working on getting her supernatural romance "The Big Bang" adapted from a music video to the big screen.
Movies aren't the only thing Miley is working on these days. While she's made it clear she wants to take a break from music to focus on her bustling film career, it's rumored that a Miley-Nick Jonas reunion "double disc duet album" is in the works.
Music producer Shakur Green, who has worked with Miley in the past, tweeted that he's working on tracks with Miley and former beau, Nick Jonas. "Can't release any additional information about the project," he shared. "Other than it's going to be one of the top albums of 2011."

Miley Cyrus is almost done with "Hannah Montana Forever," but will her famous alter ego, Miley Stewart, follow her to Hollywood or go to college?
This Sunday marks the finale of the Disney show that launched Cyrus to fame four years ago as a young teen. It's a role she has been trying to shed since 2009, when the 16-year-old sparked controversy with what was considered an age-inappropriate pole dance at the Teen Choice Awards.
The newly released promo for "Kiss It All Goodbye" claims that Miley Stewart will make "the biggest decision ever" -- whether to go to college or make a movie.
"Miley is not interested in doing any movies," her dad (Cyrus' real-life father, Billy Ray) says in the promo, which doesn't seem to sit well with Stewart, though the clip does not reveal whether she obeys her father or follows her dream.
"I'm moving on, letting go," Cyrus sings on the soundtrack.
Unfortunately, moving on to big screen roles in the likes of sorority comedy "So Undercover" may mean the 18-year-old singer-actress' career is in for a free fall.
Hollywood.com's box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian recently told the Daily News that Cyrus' career has faltered from her attempts to separate herself from a "proven" Disney brand.
"When she's herself or Hannah Montana, that's money in the bank" he said. "When the image becomes confusing to the audience, it's a problem."
The "Hannah Montana Forever" finale airs on Sunday at 6 p.m. on the Disney channel.
