After three seasons of “Hannah Montana,” teen superstar Miley Cyrus isn’t ready to let go of her Disney alter ego.

Disney Channel spokeswoman Hope Diamond says Cyrus has signed up for a fourth helping of the family-friendly sitcom. Diamond says the singer-actress, 16, will film fresh episodes early next year. Until then, Cyrus will shoot the Nicholas Sparks drama “The Last Song” and do a concert tour.

Cyrus co-stars with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, on “Hannah Montana,” and appeared in the hit film adaptation of the show.

‘Bruno’ comedian sued

Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie isn’t in theaters yet, but it’s already producing buzz and legal backlash akin to “Borat.”

Richelle Olson sued the actor, 37, on May 22, claiming a run-in at a bingo tournament that was filmed for “Bruno” left her with disabilities. Olson says she was severely injured after struggling with Cohen and his film crew two years ago. The lawsuit states she now needs a wheelchair or cane to move around.

In “Bruno,” out July 10, Cohen plays a gay Austrian fashionista. Cohen’s humor depends on taping people’s reactions to his outlandish behavior.

Speidi bails on NBC role

Heidi and Spencer Pratt said they’re leaving. At least twice, they had quit “I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!” But the bratty newlyweds, who star on MTV’s “The Hills,” were seen taking what’s presumably their final leave on the second episode of the NBC competition series.

“I’m a Celebrity” airs from the Costa Rican jungle, with semi-famous people competing for food, supplies and money for their chosen charities. But as Spencer explained, “Super-celebrities don’t belong in the jungle. They belong in Hollywood with the paparazzi.”

Stars get a bad break

If one broken mirror means seven years of bad luck, “Dancing With the Stars” champs Shawn Johnson, 17, and Mark Ballas could be facing centuries of misfortune.

When the dancing partners opened their respective mirrorball trophies after a cross-country trip, each was broken. Ballas says the trophies broke in a flight from New York.

ABC says the mirrorballs are being repaired.
