ANEticing Celebrity: Miley Cyrus**

We all know her. How can we not? Our kids love her, how can they not? With a hit tv show gone to the big screen and music albums that are hits, you must be living under a rock if you haven't heard of her.

It's true, Miley Cyrus is as famous as can be. How can she not be famous? Say what you want about her, but there is no doubt that she can act, she can dance and she can sing. She's pretty much good at everything she does. Chakai, my 7 year old daughter, just adores her and has her ipod filled with Miley's songs. I dedicate this post to my darling daughter.

Born as Destiny Hope Cyrus (she had her name legally changed to Miley Ray Cyrus on May 1, 2008). She was born in Nashville, Tennessee on November 23, 1992. Her parents are Leticia Finley Cyrus and her father is Billy Ray Cyrus who is also a famous country singer (he is best known for his song, Achy Breaky Heart).

Miley Cyrus is the star of the famous Disney Channel tv series, Hannah Montana (which was also turned into a movie), where she plays the lead role, but did you know that there were 2 other people considered for the role before her? Yep indeed, American Juniors finalist Jordan McCoy and the singer Jojo were Disney's first choice for the role? Fortunately for Miley, both Jordan and Jojo had other obligations to fulfill which is why they weren't able to do the tv series. Talk about luck.
Unfortunately for Miley, fame comes with a price and in her case it came in the form of controversies. I am sure you have seen her Vanity Fair photos, which were deemed by some people as inappropriate and malicious, but I think it's artistic. There was also that time when she and best friend Mandy made fun of Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, yes, they did act mean, but come on, let's not be hypocrites, who hasn't been mean? There was also that time when she was accused of pole dancing at the Kid's Choice Awards 2009 during her performance, but she clearly wasn't, people make a big deal out of everything. And how about the time when she dated an older guy, I say what's wrong with that? I am married to a much older man, but look at me, I turned out great. I think that despite all these controversies that came with her being famous, she handles it all well, just like a real lady should. She apologized when necessary and she stayed real to herself and to her fans.

Miley Cyrus has indeed come along way, and although some people think that she isn't exactly a good role model, I say, give her a break, despite her being famous and all, she's still only just a normal girl who happens to be famous. She still feels like a normal girl should and she only reacts like any normal teenage girl would, even better than others.

She still has a lot of success coming her way and I am sure of it. Miley Cyrus will be seen in the upcoming movies like The Last Song(2010), Sex and the City 2(2010) and Wings(2011). I personally can't wait to see her in the following movies, because I know she'll do a great job.
