Teen sensation Miley Cyrus says it might be time to hang up her Hannah Montana wig for good.

"We're thinking this is our last season," she said Monday, in an interview with E! News scheduled to air Tuesday night.

But the star, who turns 16 in November, points out she's been hard at work playing her pop star alter ego since she was 11.

"It seems like it's been on, like, longer," she says, of the hit series that is about to begin its third season.

While Cyrus' publicist tells E!, "We do not know if this is the last season," the Disney folks confirm that the future of the show remains open-ended.

Officials Say Crash Not LaBeouf's Fault

Shia LaBeouf was not to blame for an early-morning car wreck in Los Angeles, authorities said Tuesday, pinning fault on the other driver for apparently running a red light.

Also Tuesday, a person close to production of the "Transformers" sequel said LaBeouf's passenger in the accident was Isabel Lucas, the 23-year-old Australian who plays a supporting role.

Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says detectives have determined that the other driver, who has not been identified, ran the light and will also be cited. LaBeouf was booked for a misdemeanor DUI and underwent surgery for injuries to his left hand.

"He was not at fault," Whitmore said of the "Transformers" actor.

LaBeouf's pickup collided with another vehicle at 3 a.m. Sunday in West Hollywood. Lucas and the driver of the other vehicle were not seriously injured.
