Miley Cyrus is on course to become the next Carrie Bradshaw, if Sex & The City author Candace Bushnell gets her way.

Candace is working on a new project depicting Carrie in her early years, and wants the scandal-prone teen star to play SJP's character in teh inevitable TV series.

Speaking to Access Hollywood about who might play the lead, she said, "I don't know, Miley Cyrus!"

Yet Miley may be disappointed if she's hoping to tackle a saucy, grown-up role as the new books are said to be less risqué than the originals.

Candace tells TV Guide, "I'd love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex And The City."

Doesn't really sound like Miley's thing to us...
