Miley Cyrus set to celebrate in ‘Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special’

February 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

She’s had the best of both worlds for the last 20 years.

Miley Cyrus is set to reunite with her signature blond wig in Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, a televised event that will celebrate the milestone anniversary of the iconic Disney Channel series. It will debut to Disney+ on March 24.

This new special will be filmed in front of a live studio audience. Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper will interview Cyrus about the creation of the fictional pop star and chat about the show’s lasting impact.

Cyrus will also revisit the memories she has from her time on the show as never-before-seen archival footage is shared. Additionally, former sets from the show, such as the Stewart family’s living room and Hannah’s closest, will be rebuilt for the special.

“Hannah Montana will always be a part of who I am. What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I’ll always be thankful for that connection,” Cyrus said in a press release. “The fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I’m very proud of. This ‘Hannahversary’ is my way of celebrating and thanking the fans who’ve stood by me for 20 years.”

Disney Branded Television President Ayo Davis said that Hannah Montana opened the door for fans to dream, sing and embrace every part of themselves.

“Partnering with Miley on this special is a dream, and we want it to be a love letter to the fans, who remain as passionate today as they were when the series debuted almost 20 years ago,” Davis said.

Disney+ shared a video to its socials announcing the special on Tuesday. It features a car with a front license plate that reads “HM 20” pulling up in a studio lot. Both Cyrus and Cooper collaborated on the video, which is set to the show’s theme song, “The Best of Both Worlds.”

“Going back to where it all began,” the caption reads. “The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special premieres March 24 on Disney+. #MileysMemories.”

February 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

This is the way (to the movie theaters).

Lucasfilm has released a new trailer for the upcoming film Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. Pedro Pascal stars as Din Djarin in the movie based on the popular Disney+ TV series The Mandalorian.

“The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy,” according to the film’s official description. “As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his young apprentice Grogu.”

Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White also star in the movie, directed and produced by Jon Favreau. Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni and Ian Bryce produce the film.

“The kid will live centuries beyond me. I won’t always be around to protect him,” Din Djarin says in the trailer.

After a series of action-packed fight scenes and brand-new alien creatures, the trailer ends with Grogu snacking on a blue cookie.

“Let’s save the rest for after dinner,” Din tells Grogu, who ignores him and takes another bite of his sweet treat.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, which was filmed for IMAX, exclusively arrives in theaters on May 22.

Bad Bunny’s ‘DtMF’ tops Hot 100, three other songs in the top 10

February 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Never underestimate the power of a Super Bowl halftime show: Bad Bunny now has the #1 song in the U.S.

His song “DtMF,” the title track from his current album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos [I Should Have Taken More Photos], has jumped from #10 to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s his second #1 hit, following his Cardi B/J Balvin collab “I Like It” back in 2018. “DtMF” had previously reached #2 in January 2025, when the album dropped.

Billboard notes that “DtMF” is only the fourth all or mostly Spanish-language song in history to top the Hot 100 and the first by a solo artist. The others were “La Bamba” by Los Lobos; “Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)” by Los Del Rio; and “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber.

In addition, Bad Bunny has three more songs in the top 10, all of which he performed during his halftime show: “Baile Inolvidable” [“Unforgettable Dance”] at #2; “Nuevayol” [a Puerto Rican nickname for New York] at #5; and “Tití Me Preguntó” [“Auntie Asked Me”] at #7.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s “Opalite,” which climbed as high as #2 last year after the release of The Life of a Showgirl, has jumped from #11 to #8 after its release as an official single and video.

R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe made a cameo on Sunday’s episode of The Simpsons.

The rocker sang a parody of the band’s classic Automatic For the People track “Everybody Hurts,” changed to “Everybody Kirks Sometimes.”

This is the second time Stipe has appeared on an episode of the long-running Fox animated hit. He previously appeared with the rest of his R.E.M. bandmates during the 13th season’s “Homer the Moe” episode.
