My father’s family name being Cyrus, and my Christian name Destiny, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Hannah Montana…
Personally, I think she’s got the chops to make it. Her pop career will flame out, but unlike pop or rock, Country stars tend to have a bit of longevity. And that’s where the majority of her career will be, in country.
She’s not a bad singer, and she seems like a genuinely nice person.
And while I haven’t seen the pics in question (again, googling up “naughty Hannah Montana sleepover” just seems to be asking for the FBI to come over for coffee) I’m willing to bet that the folks that screamed their heads off are a rather… unique fringe element.
I heard on the radio this morning that this book will be about how she has managed to not turn into Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan. Which sounds like a good idea if she writes it in 7 years once she’s been able to go to bars for a year and still hasn’t turned into a booze addled slut but even Britney was squeeky clean at 15.
“My daddy died this year in Iraq. I am going to give mommy the Angel pendant that daddy put on mommy when she was having me. I had it in my jewelry box since that day. I love my mommy.”
Oh, wait, wrong faked Hannah Montana story…
This book could be incredible.* Ms. Cyrus has lived a life that has to be filled with not only dizzying success, but also the tremendous pressure that comes from knowing that it cannot last - she only has to look at her father to see where she is headed. Her memoir could also explore her relationship to her father. What are the chances there is not a really fucked up dynamic going on there? Mr. Cyrus has had his own success as both a singer and actor completely eclipsed by his teenage daughter. Do you think he is a little bitter? What are her relationships like with her siblings (step, half, whole)? The family’s life has to revolve around her, so there must be some resentment. Then there are all the issues we know confront child stars including drugs. Even if Ms. Cyrus is clean, she could tell us how he has dealt with these pressures.
Finally, a teenage girl can produce fine writing on her life.
- In reality, it will suck because Ms. Cyrus’s ghostwritten memoir will give no real insight into her life.
It’s a logarithmic curve, a tried and true formula really. You start out squeaky and adorable, yet cute enough that you know most guys are gonna want to bang her when she gets old enough, and some others would rather not wait. She appeals to kids first, then as she gets hotter, adult men. She gets as much mileage from that until she has to show up on stage wearing ultra tight boy shorts, seventeen tramp stamps, and so many piercings that she looks like she fell down a flight of stairs holding a tackle box. Then the next logical step is she french kisses whatever pop icon female that’s too old and too irrevelant to matter anymore (kind of a passing the whore torch ceremony) on stage of some MTV abortion of an awards show, and then it’s on to drugs and drunken public mind fuck rodeo theatrics.
Lohan, Spears, Hilton, Plato, Martin…
Should make for quite a show.
Wow, and I thought i was curmudgeonly.
Was Hilton ever a child star? And who’s this Martin you speak of?
ETA: I looked at your link and wow, those eyebrows are hideous. She should enter a contest whose prize is a mirror next time.
Yes, but Miley never had to hide in an attic from Nazis…as far as I know.
Um…people want insight into Miley Cyrus’ life? (Non-pedophiles over the age of 16, I mean.) Who are these people, and why is no one treating their cranial hemorhaging?
The Washington Post has a satirical take on what a Miley memoir might look like.
I doubt that they’re going to try to sell the book to non-pedophiles over the age of 16. On the other hand, they’re going to be able sell a copy to damn near each and every girl age 8 to 16 in the country.
Hey like it or not she’s big news. How many other stars crash websites?
Ah, photo shenanigans controversy already.
:rolleyes:
