Miley Cyrus Plays Host

Fresh off her latest gig as an Oscar presenter, Miley Cyrus is ready to try her hand at hosting an awards show.

The Hannah Montana star and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, will serve as cohosts of the 2008 CMT Music Awards, organizers announced Tuesday. In addition, the father-daughter duo will also perform at the Apr. 14 event.

"Miley and I are so excited to be hosting the CMT Music Awards," Billy Ray Cyrus said in a statement. "We know it will be a fun-filled night with a lot of great music performances."

The seventh annual awards ceremony, taking place at Belmont University's Curb Event Center in Nashville, will also feature performances from Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Alan Jackson and Toby Keith, among others.

Miley, 15, recently wrapped up her sold-out Best of Both Worlds tour, on which she performed both as herself, and as her alter ego, Hannah Montana.

On the heels of her wildly popular tour, she scored the number-one movie in the country with the release of her 3D concert film, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour.

Up ahead, both Cyruses are due to begin production on The Hannah Montana Movie, which is slated to start filming this spring.
