Birthplace: Franklin, Tennessee
Birth Names: Destiny Hope Cyrus

Miley Cyrus: How she begun
Destiny Hope Cyrus (better known as Miley - short for Smiley) got her optimistic name because her parents (country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife Tish) expected great things from the little one. She first became interested in acting while hanging out on the set of her dad's now-defunct TV show Doc. With a little help from dad, Miley was soon developing her skills as an actress playing the character of Kylie on that show.
Stepping out from her father's shadow, Miley jumped ship to play "Young Ruthie" on the critically acclaimed Tim Burton movie Big Fish. She then went on to audition for a small Disney role but was passed over because she was considered too short. However, they were still interested in her and eventually developed the role of Miley Stewart for her on Hannah Montana.

Miley has also told her fans that, while the show will be fun, it's not worth paying the prices scalpers are charging!

Demi Lovato: Biography

Demi Lovato

Birth names: Demetria Devonne Lovato
Birth Date: August 20, 1992 
Birth Place: Dallas, Texas, USA
Job Titles: Actress, Singer, Songwriter
 
Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato was born on August 20, 1992 in Dallas, TX. One of three sisters, which included Dallas - also an actress and singer and five years her senior - and Madison, who was ten years younger. . Lovato attended school in the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District, where she sang in the choir at Cross Timbers Middle School for three years.
After the acting bug bit Lovato at the age of six, she soon found herself auditioning for a recurring role on "Barney & Friends" (PBS, 1992- ). During the auditions, Lovato met and befriended fellow actress Selena Gomez, who - along with Lovato - also became a regular on "Barney." Over the years, the two became best friends; even going on to co-star in the Disney Channel movie, "Princess Protection Program" (2009).
Lovato's career post-"Barney" consisted of appearances in the drama "Prison Break" (FOX, 2005- ) and in the Nickelodeon sitcom "Just Jordan" (2007- ). In January 2007, the former Texas pageant girl landed the role of Charlotte in "As The Bell Rings," a Disney Channel short series. The wheels started turning fast for the young star after getting cast in the lead role in Camp Rock. "Camp Rock" was a fairy tale for the MySpace generation - a girl g s to a summer music camp, meets the boy of her dreams (played by heartthrob J Jonas), tries to fit in with the mean girl clique, and follows her heart all the way to the end-of-summer talent show. Along with showcasing her acting, singing and dancing abilities, she also demonstrated through Mitchie, a relatable and likeable charm.
 Like a few of her contemporaries, not only was she an actress and singer, but Lovato also played guitar and piano. Her musical talent and growing popularity earned her a spot touring with the Jonas Brothers in the summer of 2008 as well as beginning the recording of her debut album.
 Thus, in September 2008, production started on Lovato's very own TV series "Sonny with a Chance," in which she played Sonny, a 15-year-old girl who is discovered during a casting call and given her own sketch comedy show.
