As much as Miley Cyrus annoys me, I don't think she's done anything that a lot of normal teenagers don't do....she just happens to be in the limelight. I mean, how many of us drank when we were underage or experimented with drugs or had sex too early? I'm not saying it's right, I am just saying more teenagers than not do these things.

I also don't think that her parents are necessarily bad parents, at least her father is now realizing his mistakes. Hindsight is always, always 20/20. Hopefully Miley is just going through a rebellious phase. She's still very young, I have hope she'll be just fine.

I think the sense of entitlement and pathalogical narcism that certain segments of our youth today have about their apparently divine right to spend all their time in clubs and carte blanche to abuse substances and focus entirely on their shalow sense of sexuality to the detriment of anything else is as much to blame as Show Business.
The old its a 'Right Of Passage' they have it coming B.S.
I think Miley Cyrus is obviously a textbook example of the phenomenom.
You could see the writting on the wall when she was defiantly parading around looking like she was all of 15 a few years ago with some 20-something looking Chip and Dales refugee.
I was wondering where are her people?

I really doubt Billy Ray was hurting for cash, he made millions, himself, and he didn't seem to be real extravagant, unless he blew his millions somewhere. But barring that, he was pretty well set for life between his singing career in the 90's and acting gigs after that.

True..True..True...The only thing that gets under my skin is that ms Miley was contracted to reach youngsters..and in doing that make tons of money..I find it unfortunate that somewhere in that contract that No party could do or being seen to undermind that influence....only thing I can liken it to would be "Micky Mouse Club Mouseketeers"....I cant imagine any of those folks crossing that line until out of contract or overage...JMOO

That was back in the '50s, '70s, and '90s when the media wasn't like it is today. If those cast members went to a party and got drunk, no one would ever find out about it. Now we have TMZ outside of every nightclub to take pictures and videos of all the celebrities. Most of Miley's scandals would have never "existed" if she had been famous 25 years ago.

This is another picture of Miley and Billy Ray that people find...a bit strange:

I would agree that Billy Ray shoild have thought through what kind of world he was dropping his daughter into.
Though Im sure he would have been fine financially without Hannnah Montana.
Its a little late to be crying now.
I really dont beleive that the mindlessly shallow hedonistic 'club' lifestyle that so many of these spoiled entitled entertainment industry teens dedicate themselves to deserves to be written off as a 'rite of passage'.That lends it more validation then it deserves.Its crap plain and simple.
How did we come to equate amoral behavior and substance abuse with 'spreading your wings '?
I can assure you Miley Cyrus will not have a career five years from now,unless its Celebrity Rehab.
I have a 12 year old daughter Miley was over with the tweens a year ago.

I just don't understand... I know parents love their kids, I just feel like Miley is his favorite. Sounds silly... he's just always in her business... meanwhile I see pictures of her 10 year old sister dressed like a hooker and acting just like Miley, only... she's 10. I never see Billy Ray mention her, and I have rarely even see him in pictures with her - it is usually his ex. He's always with Miley.

I think Miley is the least of his problems if his 10 year old is already acting this way. I think she'll be even bigger trouble in a few years, and Miley's antics will have been forgotten.

I think Miley will be fine.. her little sister on the other hand is a mess.. and i believe she will be the one in rehab and all over the tabloids......

I hope she manages to get her ego in check and earn a little perspective.
The bottom line is she's so far hasnt demonstrated anything in the way of outstanding talent certainly nothing that would sustain a long term career,her singing is mediocre at best even with all the auto tune and studio wizardry her expensive producers can bring to it.
Her acting would be serviceable for a local Civic Theater production not much more.
Of course she already is quite well off financially so maybe she doesnt care.
Perhaps she'll figure out that in order to be an artist of substance you have to be a person of substance first and squandering your life force and credibilty with club trash friends and substance abuse isnt the way to acheive that.

Since I didn't have little kids around, I didn't know who HM was until Oprah had a show with her performing. Those little girls (that have parents spending big bucks on the stuff) were hysterical and awed to say the least. She wasn't acting sexy and it was fun to watch - we all had our idols - Elvis, Beatles, etc. As Miley got older, so did these little girls. I doubt any will use her as an excuse for their own bad behavior but perhaps parents can learn to teach their kids that these "stars" are playing a role. Now who is going to teach the parents of these role players is the question.

I agree with you that her little sister, Noah, is at a much bigger risk for become a train wreck.

Here's a picture of her when she was 9 or 10:

I feel bad for the kid because she is constantly called "ugly" by commenters on articles about her. People didn't really start making fun of her until she started wearing lots of makeup and dressing inappropriately for her age.

I'm not sure why but when I heard that the divorce had been called off the only thing I could think of was the way it was stated:

I called off the divorce.

as opposed to:

We called off the divorce.

or

We talked about and we are going to make this work we are going to save our family.

Nope. We get "I" called off the divorce.

Not sure why---but that really irked me. Sorry. Might just be me.

I noticed that too Kat. My first thought was......'That sounds like something my ex husband would say!' IIIIIIII....meeeeeee, lol!

I do hope they are able to work things out and wish them all the best!
