Hannah Montana Stars and Fame · Feb 22, 01:38 PM by Hannah Freak
The Fort Wayne Sentinel, no I’ve never heard of them before either, today published an interesting article on how the stars of Hannah Montana are handling their new found fame.

Emily Osment (Lilly): Emily, who turns 15 this spring, seems too busy to worry about it. “I’m going to a regular high school, which is a prep school, so it’s very high speed,” she says. “And I’m also doing this. And, you know, I have to have a social life. I’m an eighth-grader. And I’m battling boys and all this kind of stuff. And I think with Miley, she has more time. ... This is her world right now. Miley is music, and acting, and her social life as well, and for me, it’s more school and acting and my social life.” If Emily ever has problems, she can turn to her brother, “The Sixth Sense” star Haley Joel Osment, for advice.
Mitchel Musso (Oliver): Mitchel, who turns 16 this year (and can’t wait to drive), says that sometimes he’d just like to go to the mall or to a movie without being bothered. Not that he always minds the attention.
“Girls are crazy with the magazines and the posters, ‘Mitchel Musso’ with hearts everywhere, ‘be mine’ and all that (junk),” Mitchel says. “It’s crazy. The girls are nuts. The girl fans are crazy.” Of course, he’s the one who says he had 10 girls with him at all times – just friends, he stresses – when he returned to his home state of Texas for a visit around Christmas. But he says his friends back home still see him as “just Mitchel.”
Jason Earles (Jackson): Jason, who’s 19, admires the way Michael J. Fox has handled his career, and he’d like to use “Hannah” as a springboard to more “grown-up” projects.
“I will ride this wave as long as they will let me,” he says. “But I think always in the back of your mind you wonder ‘What’s gonna happen after this?’ I would personally like to use this show and the fact that they let me do so many off-the-wall crazy, funny things to maybe transition into network sitcoms. I’ve got sort of a natural fit there to play the friend or the crazy office guy. So I think about that a little bit, but I think we’re going to be here for a little while.”
