Although “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke has been replaced for the “New Moon” sequel, some fans have held out hope that she would return to helm the third or fourth movie in the teen-vampire franchise.

“I’ve loved all the different directors that did the ‘Harry Potter’ [films], because each one had their own cool style and energy, so I think that’s good. And I’m moving on to other projects.”

In her new memoir that came out on Tuesday (March 3) the Hannah Montana star writes about her experiences of being bullied in elementary school, according to AccessHollywood.com.

“The girls took it beyond normal bullying. These were big, tough girls,” Miley Cyrus writes in the book. “I was scrawny and short. They were fully capable of doing me bodily harm.”

Cyrus also describes being locked in a bathroom in one of the bullying incidents. “They shoved me in. I was trapped. I banged on the door until my fists hurt. Nobody came,” she continues. “I spent what felt like an hour in there, waiting for someone to rescue me, wondering how my life had gotten so messed up.”

The girls also challenged the Hannah Montana star to a physical fight. “It seemed like Operation Make Miley Miserable was escalating to a new level. More like Operation Take Miley Down,” she writes. “Three girls strutted up and stood towering over me. My stomach churned. I clutched my grilled-cheese sandwich like it was the hand of my best friend”.
