All the way up, indeed.

If you've read this blog even once, you probably know about my rabid hate of Miley Cyrus. But when I've been forced to watch episodes of "Hannah Montana," one thing makes it vaguely tolerable (well, not "tolerable," but not "I want to destroy the entire world for allowing this to exist," either) - Emily Osment, little sister of Haley Joel (yup, the kid from "The Sixth Sense") and the girl who plays Lilly Truscott/Lola Luftnagle, Miley/Hannah's best friend.


Her and Mitchel Musso, who plays on-screen boyfriend Oliver, are the only redeeming aspects of that Disney slop - legitimately funny and with charming chemistry, they manage to outshine Cyrus at her own game.

Which is why I'm so intrigued about this, the possibility of Osment becoming a humongo pop star in the coming year or so. No, she's not a good singer, but are any of those pubescent skankbags? Nope. So yay, she's got a shot! If Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson could do it, pretty sure she can - especially with all of Disney's weight behind her.
