Cyrus to impersonate Elvis
Published: 03 Apr. 2015, 19:15
Cyrus will star in the comedy “Still the King’’ as Vernon Brown, a one-hit country star turned Elvis Presley impersonator who becomes a minister at a country church outside of Nashville, Tennessee.
CMT also is planning a docuseries on “American Idol’’ singer Kellie Pickler and her marriage, a coming-of-age documentary involving a group of friends in small-town Florida, a series starring YouTube prankster Ed Bassmaster and a late-night talk show with Josh Wolf, a former sub on Chelsea Handler’s E! Entertainment network show.
The network announced its plans for the next year in a meeting with advertisers in Manhattan on Thursday.
“Still the King’’ puts CMT back into business with Cyrus, daddy of Miley and frequent presence on the network when his “Achy Breaky Heart’’ was a hit two decades ago.
“We built bridges around the world together in the early ’90s, places where country music hadn’t been or hadn’t been for a long time,’’ Cyrus said in an interview. “Getting together again with CMT was very exciting.’’ AP
