Even though Hannah Montana’s popularity is so huge, many tweens in New York were left out of the first screening of the movie, ‘Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert’ which is a 3-D film version of her tour according to the Associated Press. Of course it was weather related and because of school. But three girls didn’t let that stop them from attending the screening. They were able to get the entire theater to themselves. That must’ve been a great day for these girls. I’m not into the whole Hannah Montana movement and I don’t think I will be.

According to a Nickelodeon spokeswoman, the network already premiered the fourth season of ‘Zoey 101′. Of course don’t expect to see Jamie Lynn pregnant because the entire fourth season was filmed last summer. So for all you parents out there with tweens, not to worry, your children can still see Jamie Lynn on the show, before the pregnancy news.

People love Hannah Montana — she even makes Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich squeal, the AP reports. The good governor took his family to a recent concert featuring real-life Disney idol Miley Cyrus as the fictional pop star Hannah Montana.

“We’re big fans,” Blagojevich told the AP before Saturday’s concert. “I’ve seen every ‘Hannah Montana’ episode.”

I feel less nervous about admitting that I’ve sat through my share of “HM” episodes now that the governor of such a great state has confessed his fandom. My 13-year-old sister digs the series, and I like watching it with her along with “Corey in the House” and other Disney Channel kid fare (except for “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.” Someone smack those obnoxious twins now please!). The show is a dumb but fun slice of tween comedy, and I get a kick out of watching Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley’s dad, play a goofy southern rocker.

Anyway, the character’s popularity is undeniable. The “HM” concerts are the hottest tour ticket right now. Tickets are going for $600 online. For those who can’t afford that, Disney is releasing a theatrical 3-D concert film called “The Best of Both Worlds” on Feb. 1 featuring Cyrus who will perform as herself and as Hannah. The movie will also feature the Jonas Brothers, who might be on their way to the RGV soon.

Will I be in line to catch the concert film? Only if my kid sister asks me to go … but she’s buying the popcorn. Get more info on the concert film here .
