Miley Cyrus Wanted for Lilith Fair Tour, But...

Miley Cyrus is a wanted young woman.

Sarah McLachlan tells me she was hoping Cyrus would sign on for an appearance during the upcoming relaunch of the Lilith Fair summer music tour…

"She was big on my list," McLachlan told me earlier today at L.A.'s Sunset Marquis hotel, where she was promoting her upcoming new album, The Laws of Illusion. "I actually think she's really talented and my daughter [India] loves her. It's all about Miley."

Unfortunately, Cyrus politely declined because of her already-packed schedule.

Not that Lilith won't be chock-full of enough musical choices to satisfy just about anyone. Among the more than 80 acts performing on the 36-city tour, which benefits local and national women's advocacy groups, are Rihanna, Ke$ha, Selena Gomez, country stars Sugarland and Miranda Lambert, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Kelly Clarkson and Heart.

Lady Gaga is also a favorite in the McLachlan household. "I feel she's a little inappropriate for an 8-year-old, but I lost the battle on that one," McLachlan said. "But she doesn't get most of it anyway, so I trust she just likes the beat."

‘Jersey Shore’ Star Sammi Accused Of Assault

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. A 24-year-old woman said Tuesday that she was attacked by a female cast member of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” at a South Beach nightclub.

Kristen DeMinco said Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola punched her twice in the head Saturday, leaving her with a bruise under her eye. Her attorneys said they filed a police report Tuesday.

The show has been filming episodes in South Florida over the past several weeks.

“This isn’t acceptable for people to be going around hitting people just for TV. I think it’s wrong of MTV, I think it’s wrong of them. I think they do it on purpose,” DeMinco told reporters outside the Miami Beach Police Department. She took off a pair of sunglasses to show the bruise to reporters at the news conference.

DeMinco said Giancola confronted her in the VIP area of the nightclub Dream after she struck up a conversation with a man who was apparently Giancola’s boyfriend.

“She exchanged bad words at me,” DeMinco said. “I exchanged bad words back. She hit me twice in the face and I just backed off right after that. I didn’t want to get involved a fight.”

An MTV spokeswoman declined to comment on the allegations and said she didn’t know if Giancola had an agent. A talent agency in New York said it had once handled some of Giancola’s booking but no longer worked with her.

Ed Griffith, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office, said filing a police report is the first step in initiating a police investigation. He said authorities would review the allegations to see if charges are appropriate.

DeMinco’s attorneys said they also plan to file a civil lawsuit against Giancola and MTV.
