From Sydney Confidential October 02, 2008 07:50am

Finally heading to court ... Cosima De Vito will face her former two managers, who are suing her, in the NSW Supreme Court.

IT has been a long time coming, now former Australian Idol singer Cosima De Vito is set to meet her two former managers in the NSW Supreme Court.

Following a long-running dispute with ex-managers Ted Gardner and Con Nellis, including three years of court appointed mediation, a date of November 10 has been given for the matter to be heard.

Nellis and Gardner, who managed De Vito`s career after the original Idol series in 2003, are seeking more than $500,000 in lost earnings.

Their lawsuit will allege that the singer made their professional roles "untenable".

De Vito has previously lodged a counter claim, stating that the management team was "negligent" in guiding her singing career.

The case is set to be heard by Justice Patricia Bergin.

"I only turn 16 once, so it`s going to be an awesome party with my favourite rides, hanging out with friends, fireworks and more," Cyrus said. "I`ll even get to sing a couple songs."

Cyrus, the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, doesn`t actually turn 16 until November 23, but owner Sawa`s said the park is getting an early jump on the celebration, in part to fit in with Cyrus`s schedule and to beat the annual holiday decorating effort at Disneyland.

Cyrus was joined by a swag of stars including Tyra Banks, Vanessa Williams, Cindy Crawford, Steve Carrell and more.

Disneyland closed early on Sunday and the 5000 people who spent $US250 each for a chance to celebrate with Cyrus were escorted into the park for the "Miley`s Sweet 16 - Share the Celebration" party, reports My Fox in Los Angeles.

The evening`s festivities included "Special Party Zones" highlighting the music of Cyrus and her Hannah Montana alter-ego, along with themed activities and entertainment. Some of Cyrus`s favourite attractions were open in each Party Zone.

Proceeds from the event will be used in part to benefit Youth Service America, an organisation that seeks to increase the number and diversity of people aged 5 to 25 who serve as volunteers for various organisations.

"The best part of the party is we`re going to recognise some really cool kids from Youth Service America who are giving back to their community," she said.
