Web Sites Get Punked: No Bun In the Oven For Miley Cyrus

Despite internet rumors, teen
sensation Miley Cyrus is definitely not pregnant, a rep for the star confirmed
to Access Hollywood.

The rumors started after a host of celebrity Web sites picked up a doctored
article from J-14 magazine, which claimed the “Hannah Montana” star was
pregnant.

“It is 100% not true,” a rep for Miley told Access Hollywood.

On Monday morning, the magazine J-14, quickly issued a statement, pointing
out a page from their July issue had been spoofed.

“Despite Internet rumors, J-14 NEVER reported that Miley Cyrus was pregnant,”
a statement for the magazine read. “Someone doctored the ‘This Just In’ article
that appeared on page 16 of J-14’s July 2007 issue, where a few of Miley’s
Hannah Montana co-stars talked about her gross habits. Miley is an intelligent,
respectable role model for young girls, and the editors of J-14 pride themselves
on presenting our readers with credible stories and information.”

The fake article, which ran a doctored version of a J-14 page online,
featured made-up quotes from the 14-year-old Disney channel actress. “I’m going
to take good care of my baby,” Miley was quoted as saying in the spoof according
to Celeb gossip site D-Listed. “I’ve already gained 7 pounds. I was in real
shock when it happened accidentally.”

J-14 Editor in Chief, Janet Giovanelli told Access Hollywood she was
surprised the false story was even picked up due to the date on the issue – July
2007, and their lless-than-monthly publishing schedule.

“If anyone took a moment to even think about it, [they would realize] it’s
definitely made up,” she said. “We come out ten times a year.

After learning of the incident, J-14 reached out to Disney and Cyrus’
publicist to make sure they knew the magazine had nothing to do with the
fake.

As for the magazine itself, so far, J-14 has no plans to pursue legal action
against the pregnancy page makers.

“I don’t think we can ever really find out who did it. If they were trying to
hurt us I think it backfired ‘cause we’re getting so much publicity,” she said.
“Everyone’s talking about it.”
