Her “Best of Both Worlds Tour” began Oct

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a New Jersey woman and anyone else who joined the Miley Cyrus Fan Club based on its promise that joining would make it easier to get concert tickets from the teen star’s Web site.

Cyrus, 14, is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and star of the Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana” TV show.

Her sold-out “Best of Both Worlds Tour” is the hottest concert ticket of the year, with shows selling out in as little as four minutes and scalpers getting four or five times face value.

The suit names Interactive Media Marketing Inc. and Smiley Miley Inc. as defendants and seeks triple damages for all members of the lawsuit and attorneys’ fees.

“They deceptively lured thousands of individual into purchasing memberships into the Miley Cyrus Fan Club,” plaintiffs’ attorney Rob Peirce said. His Pittsburgh firm and a Memphis firm filed the suit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Nashville.

The fan club costs $29.95 a year to join, according to the lawsuit, https://www.titaniumdioxide.top/ which alleges that the defendants should have known that the site’s membership vastly exceeded the number of available tickets.

Neither of the listed agents for the two companies based in Nashville could be immediately reached for comment on Tuesday. Neither a phone message nor an e-mail sent to Smiley Miley Inc. was immediately returned.

The document was filed on behalf of Kerry Inman, a New Jersey woman who claims that she tried to log into the site to buy tickets to Cyrus’ Atlantic City, N.J., performance at the moment the tickets went on sale and was unsuccessful.

Pierce said the same scenario “has been replayed thousands, if not tens of thousands of times over the past few months.”

The Web site does not guarantee ticket availability, but represents that members who log on shortly after tickets become available will have a good opportunity to get them, according to the lawsuit.

On TV, Cyrus plays high school student Miley Stewart, who lives a secret double life as a famous pop star, Hannah Montana. Her show reaches 5 million viewers a week.

Her “Best of Both Worlds Tour” began Oct. 18 and follows the release of her double album, “Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus,” which has already sold more than 1 million copies since its release in June. The first album, released late last year, sold more than 2 million copies.

Nuclear arms aren’t the only weapons Iran has been accused of developing. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently mentioned Iran among potential U.S. enemies that are pursuing the capability to launch devastating attacks in cyberspace, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports. U.S. officials said a cyberattack against ARAMCO, the world’s largest oil company, has been traced to hackers inside Iran. The 27-nation on bloc Monday banned imports of Iranian natural gas and imposed other restrictions on trade and financial dealings. Previous Western sanctions have targeted Iran’s critical oil exports and access to international banking networks. Mehmanparast told reporters Tuesday the new EU measures will not force Iran to back down from enriching uranium to make nuclear fuel. He called the sanctions “illegal, unwise and inhuman.” “They cannot force the Iranian nation to surrender and withdraw,” said Mehmanparast. “This sort of acts will encourage the Iranian nation to continue on its way, strongly.” He said the nuclear issue is merely a pretext since the West had imposed various sanctions for decades on Iran. “It is pretty clear that Iran’s persistence on its independence is the main problem” for the West, he said. At a meeting with EU ambassadors in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the European Union for imposing what he called “tough sanctions” against the “greatest threat to peace in our time.” Netanyahu observed Tuesday that while the sanctions were “hitting the Iranian economy hard,” they haven’t yet halted the Iranian program. “We will know that they are achieving their goal when the centrifuges stop spinning.” The EU also agreed to prohibit all transactions between EU and Iranian banks unless they were authorized in advance for humanitarian reasons and tightened restrictions on the Central Bank of Iran. They imposed more export restrictions “notably for graphite, metals, software for industrial purposes, as well as measures related to the shipbuilding industry.” Earlier this month, retired U.S. Ambassador Thomas Pickering told CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan that sanctions alone won’t stop Iran’s nuclear program. Pickering warned against a U.S. attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities without a thorough cost/benefit analysis. With time, he said, a “sensible civilian program” in Iran could be possible. Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the Iranian Resistance — a group that seeks the Iran’s regime’s ouster — welcomed the decision to expand sanctions as “an essential step to preclude this regime from acquiring nuclear weapons.” She asked the EU to sever all economic and commercial relations with the religious fascism ruling Iran. An affiliated group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, said it had learned from people inside the country that the Iranian government was using banks’ money-changing operations as well as divisions of the National Iranian Oil Company to get around the sanctions against oil exports.
