    Billy Ray Cyrus signs with Amazon

    NEW YORK (AP) — Billy Ray Cyrus is the latest celebrity to sign up with Amazon.com.

    The singer of "Achy Breaky Heart" and father and former co-star of Miley Cyrus has a memoir, "Hillbilly Heart," coming in spring 2013.

    Amazon.com, which has been aggressively expanding its publishing operation, announced Thursday that Cyrus would discuss with "great candor" everything from his early years to life as the parent of a teen superstar. Cyrus and his daughter starred together in the hit TV series "Hannah Montana."

    Others with Amazon deals include actress-director Penny Marshall and actor James Franco. Those books, however, will not be available everywhere. Barnes & Noble Inc. announced earlier this week that it would not stock releases from its rival retailer.

        Thanks. There sure are a lot of funny comments to this story. Most better than the actual article.

      An announcement this big really should have been teased for a few days, like Trump's endorsement.

      Come to think of it, this is much bigger.

      Can't stand him. No wonder Miley is a pothead with a father like him. He had Miley's mother and another woman pregnant at the same time before he married Miley's mother and was even going with another woman.
