Miley Cyrus has made a living for many years making people laugh on "Hannah Montana" -- now, she is venturing out to a much older audience this weekend on "Saturday Night Live." So is the 18-year old actress going to be prepared for the show to the best of her ability? If nothing else, she's already in New York to get prepared.

Of course, so far the only public sightings of Miley have been her shopping -- but that does not necessarily mean that she is just goofing off before the start of the show. Much of the "SNL" preparation goes on behind closed doors, as the cast ensures that there are plenty of moments worthy of staying up late to watch. (With Miley, you have to believe her own spoof featuring Vanessa Bayer is going to come up at some point.)

Stay tuned, for we will have more of Miley on "SNL" over the course of the next week as we near the airdate (including some photos and video released by NBC). Do you think she will ultimately do a good job?
