Miley Cyrus To Perform In Spain For First Time

A week ago, Bon Jovi (June 4), Shakira and Rihanna (both June 5) were the first performers confirmed for this year's Rock in Rio Madrid. Cyrus was added to the list Friday, with the news that June 6 will be a family day, with tens of thousands of children expected.

Rock in Rio Madrid will take place over two weekends -- June 4-6, and two unconfirmed days of the following weekend -- at Rock City, a 200,000-square-meter (50-acre) area in Arganda del Rel, 17 km (10 miles) from Madrid.

As a condition for playing the festival, Cyrus will not perform any other concert in Spain this year. Although she has never performed in Spain, Cyrus has a huge youth following here, and event organizer Roberto Medina announced her performance at a Madrid college in front of cheering and screaming children as well as TV cameras.

Cyrus' new film, "The Last Song," will premiere in Spain in May.

Rock in Rio was founded in Rio de Janeiro in January 1985, and subsequent events in Lisbon and Madrid have been arranged by Brazilian founder Medina. This will be the second Rock in Rio Madrid. The first, in 2008, was attended by 290,000 fans.

Jon Cryer Plays Daddy on Hannah Montana

Jon Cryer will be moonlighting — he's landed a guest role on Hannah Montana.

The Two and a Half Men star will be on Miley Cyrus' turf, appearing on her Disney Channel series later this month.

In the episode, Emily Osment's Lilly is faced with a housing dilemma when her mom accepts a job in Atlanta. She briefly moves in with Miley and her dad, then hears her friend complaining about their living arrangement. So Lilly moves in with her dad Kenneth — played by Jon — but finds that being with him is even more chaotic than being with Miley.

Jon's guest role comes at an interesting time in the series — it was recently announced its the final season on the show as Miley leaves to pursue her movie career. It was on the set of her last movie, The Last Song, that Miley met her new boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. The 17-year-old also makes a cameo in the upcoming Sex and the City: The Movie sequel.

"The Wheel Near My Bed (Keeps On Turnin')" premieres on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 8pm ET/PT on Disney Channel.
