She has been on TV longer than Billy Ray Cyrus has been alive. ---

Did anybody see the recent Kathy Griffin concert when she says of the photos released of Miley and Billy Ray “There’s something sick in that relationship… he’s totally fucked her!” Even her “we’re here to hear celebrity dirt” audience did a “whooooa” doubletake with an “I think she may have gone a bit too far” aftertaste. ---

> [@GargoyleWB](#): > > The original Miley is indeed 37. She had grown so rich, she wanted to retire. She took a young unknown actress to her cabin and she told her secret. 'I am not Miley Cyrus, she said. ‘My name is Ryan; I inherited the microphone from the previous Miley Cyrus, just as you will inherit it from me. The woman I inherited it from is not the real Miley Cyrus either. Her name was Cummerbund. The real Miley has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Patagonia.’ She is the new Dread Starlet Roberts. ---

> [@lissener](#): > > Raise your hand if ewww? “Ewwww” cause young girls shave, or “ewwww” cause I know they do? Between what I’ve personally seen (which is only girls in their twenties,) and from conversations I’ve had with lots of other girls, most shave, and started in their teens. I assume they start shaving them as soon as they start getting them. ---

I honestly never heard of her until The Soup started making fun of her within the last year or so, and I’ve never seen her outside of that context except on magazine covers in line at the grocery store, and when my wife leaves the browser open to [perezhilton.com](http://perezhilton.com). ---

Of course, her dad is not to be confused with Willy Ray Cyprus, who was famous for singing his biggest hit, “Achey Hollow Head.” I’m just sayin’… Actually, I don’t have a beef with Mylie. She’s got a bigger career than her father ever did, but he seems willing to take the back seat and let her have the spotlight. That’s not terribly uncool. Plus, she’s cute as shit.
