I spent the early part of Saturday doing what all 13-year-old girls dream of – talking to Miley Cyrus.

She was it at the Grove, doing a book signing at Barnes and Noble.

There were a handful of media outlets there – and as Miley went down the line, one by one, I realized this after I concluded my few minutes with her: PR does a tween star good.

She did the rounds, being careful to not disclose any information that may “spark” a tabloid story. She never told anyone who her “Prince Charming” was (though many assume it’s ex-flame Nick Jonas,) told everyone how she was really excited to do the book and how she wants to do more, gushed about having such great fans, and so on and so forth.

Personal observations? Miley has a very laid-back attitude. Jokes around with her publicist. Carries herself as much older than 16 (granted, when you grow up in the public eye, how can you not? Oh – and not to mention having a 20-year-old boyfriend…) Has celebrity gone to her head? Perhaps, but – you can’t blame her. Even if you TRY to stay grounded in Hollywood, the fans/media give the girl so much attention, it’s probably hard not to get caught up in the whole buzz and really think you are well, the shit. Whether warranted or not, well… guess we’ll see if a VH1 “Where are They Now?” special pops up in a few years (and hey, who knows, maybe I’ll be working on it.)

I Love British Accents.

Needless to say, producing a shoot with British comic/actor/host/author Russell Brand was well, “lovely.”

Post-interview, I asked if he’d be in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, because well, he could totally pull off the whole pirate thing…and I’d heard rumors about him playing Johnny Depp’s brother. He said probably not, he’s busy with other stuff… which in turn, made me really sad. He asked why I was obsessed with Pirates and had to inform him about my like, 6-year love for Jack Sparrow. I even told him how I was a pirate for halloween one year, which of course led to other “rubbish” talk on the holiday that’s well, not appropriate for this blog.

Highlights of Marc’s interview with Russell Brand (which airs Friday on Hollywood 411, and more next week, by the way) include Russell opening the door for room service, speaking to the server in Spanish only to discover he’s from Bangladesh, and Russell discussing “shagging” like it was an Olympic sport or something. Let’s hope his Comedy Central special on Sunday night is just as funny.

FYI – The suites at the Chateau Marmont were rather “lovely” as well – granted, you had to take a “lift” to get to third floor with all the camera equipment, and the “lift” is super small… Eeek! If only those “bloody” walls could speak…

The actual rooms are interesting in that the style of the place is super old school, but yet the furniture and tvs are modern – an interesting blend. Check it out sometime.
