Is Miley Cyrus' Career Over?

Miley's career is totally done and dusted. Her moment is gone. She has been replaced by an army of teen girls who are trying to copy her career, including her own friends Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.

Her music career? What happened to that? Does she even talk about trying to record new music these days? Funnily enough those of us who saw Miley's Australian tour were amongst some of the last people to see her perform in public.

Her last album and single were released back in 2010, meaning that it has been well over a year since we saw anything new. That is a long time in a world where Rihanna releases a new album every year. Miley's last single 'Who Owns My Heart' flopped, and she never bothered to follow it up with anything else.

And movies? Well she's filmed LOL and So Undercover in the past year, although neither one is due out until 2012. Will they even get released? And there is nothing on the horizon for Miss Miley Cyrus. No TV, no films.

At least she has Twitter to keep her entertained. And boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, who is quickly turning into a bigger star than her.

Miley Cyrus -- your career is over.


Miley's Career IS NOT Over -- Judge Jules

Miley has been working full steam ahead since she was 12 -- and now she is finally taking a break.

After spending her teenage years on Hannah Montana Miley is finally getting a bit of time to chill with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and be a young adult.

Music? It's not as if Miley hasn't been working all year. She toured South America and Australia in the middle of the year, clocking up over 20 shows. She's been recording songs since she was a kid, and doesn't need to be chained to a recording studio.

And don't think that Miley doesn't have a whole heap of projects lined up. She's filmed starring roles in LOL with Ashley Greene and Demi Moore, and So Undercover with Kelly Osbourne. She also voiced a character in Hotel Transylvania. With all three films due out in 2012, expect to see Miley on the promo trail and all over TV, radio and magazines for most of the year.

Miley Cyrus will be back bigger and better than ever in 2012. Miley, I love you.

Exactly Who Is Calling Miley Cyrus Fat?

Pop star Miley Cyrus made national headlines this week for a Tweet in which she and her friend Demi Lovato denied she was fat. If this doesn't seem newsworthy, just hold on.

As one ABC News article stated, “Pop superstar Miley Cyrus has shown off her body in music videos and racy photos, but lately, the 18-year-old singer and actress has been on a weight rollercoaster. Her fuller figure has some critics saying she's lost control of her body.”

A piece on Fox News added,

Miley Cyrus took to Twitter to defend her curvy shape after online critics criticized her for piling on the pounds.... Cyrus tweeted in response, posting a graphic picture of an emaciated woman suffering from an eating disorder to her 3.5 million Twitter followers. "I LOVE being shaped like a WOMAN & trust me ladies your man won't mind either," Cyrus added. Fellow Disney star Demi Lovato chimed in to offer her support to Cyrus. "I love you," Lovato told the former "Hannah Montana" star in a tweet. "Whoever called you that has it coming."

It is of course disheartening to hear that celebrities who put on a few pounds are being teased and harassed. But Lovato brings up an interesting question: Just who, exactly, commented on Cyrus's weight? Given the headlines this has generated (including a television segment on ABC News), you might assume it was a pop star rival, or a celebrity news reporter, or at least some famous blogger on an entertainment Web site.

Nope. It was an anonymous nobody, someone who goes by the Youtube handle of “kellybestinitup,” who no one has ever heard of, and whose opinions no one cares about.

This has happened before; in 2009 ABC News writer Sheila Marikar noted,

It’s been a bad week for high-waist jeans, leopard print belts and one Jessica Simpson. After Simpson performed at a Florida country radio station’s chili cook-off Sunday clad in the aforementioned outfit and coming off a bit more curvy than usual, critics pulled out their claws to slam the once svelte singer-actress for her new, larger figure.... Women in Hollywood are also stepping up to the star’s defense. "It’s just ridiculous—another woman being body-bashed for the quote-unquote infraction of looking normal," plus-size supermodel Emme told ABCNews.com.

And just who were these critics body-bashing the “courageous” Jessica Simpson? One or two anonymous bloggers on a gossip web site.

NEWS: Most Women Would Not Trade Anything To Be Thin

There's little doubt that fat bias exists, and of course it's unkind to make fun of anyone for their physical appearance. But in their rush to express their indignant outrage over comments about their weight, these celebrities and their defenders miss an important point: The insulting, attention-seeking bloggers who criticize celebs for a few extra pounds do not represent a national fat-hating media bias, nor the American public’s opinion. No one took a poll of Americans and found that most think that Cyrus or Simpson needs to lose weight.

NEWS: Thin Wives Make For Happy Marriages?

The fact is that outside of the paparazzi-infested Hollywood bubble (the so-called “thirty-mile zone” from which the gossip TV show TMZ gets its name), most of us don't care. Americans are busy worrying about our own lives and couldn't care less if Miley Cyrus put on a few pounds or if Jessica Simpson looks good in a bikini. These nameless critics don't reflect anyone’s opinions but their own, and by taking the bait and responding the stars just give their critics the attention they want.

It's not as if these “fat shaming” critics have any credibility or stature, or have opinions anyone listens to or cares about. The anonymity of the Internet is famous for helping generate mean-spirited discussions and name-calling, so no one should be surprised that out of the tens of thousands of bloggers who write about entertainment, pop culture, and celebrities, a few of them will try to generate Web traffic by saying something insulting.

Why in the world would an international superstar like Miley Cyrus even notice (much less care about or respond to) some random nasty comment or video posted by “kellybestinitup” that would have been completely ignored if she hadn’t responded to it?

Publicity. By responding to insulting comments like these, celebrities generate benign controversy and sympathetic news headlines while scoring points for standing up against the Hollywood thin ideal. It’s all showbiz.

Miley Cyrus Used 'Fat' Comment for Publicity?

This past week Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato responded to a comment about Miley's weight. Cyrus and Lovato took to Twitter to fight back at a comment that someone made about Miley getting a little "chubby." Did Miley do this to keep herself in the news?

Featureflash / Shutterstock.comActually, in the grand scheme of things no one really cares if Miley Cyrus or Demi Lovato is skinny, fat, or anything in between. The thing is that Miley became riled-up by an anonymous blogger and turned the entire fiasco into a publicity stunt.

This is the classic "if I'm not in the news, I will create a little sympathetic news about myself" thus rallying all the star's fans around a cause. This seems to be the case for Miley, Demi and the entire 'extra five pounds' debate.

[click image to enlarge]

True the cause is sympathetic. There is no denying that there is too much emphasis placed on the looks of the Hollywood elite. Add to this current technology that seemingly airbrushes every photo to the point of no one knows what is real and what is digitally enhanced these days.

Speaking of digitally enhanced....it was a video by a complete nobody on YouTube that started this rant. Nearly 18,000 views later, this person called kellybestinitup has gotten attention for her Photoshop job on Miley Cyrus and Miley has gotten a reason to go on a Twitter crusade.

The news media took Miley and Demi Lovato's tweets and turned them into front-page news. The funny thing is, if Miley had just ignored it, this kellybestinitup person would have had 200 views on her stupid video and no one would have cared. Instead, Cyrus used some anonymous YouTube poster as a reason to put herself back in the spotlight. Goodness, this has to be better publicity than a wardrobe malfunction or a "nip-slip," right?

Miley Cyrus Showers Demi Lovato With Compliments

It’s a Disney love fest.

Earlier this month, one Disney diva showered compliments on another. Miley Cyrus took to her Twitter account to speak out about notions of body image and to celebrate the curves of fellow teen queen Demi Lovato.

First, Cyrus tweeted a photo of a super skinny woman with her ribs popping out, and encouraged girls to love themselves. She wrote: “By calling girls like me fat this is what you’re doing to other people. i love MYSELF & if you could say the same http://t.co/djouYjU8.”

She then posted a photo of the curvy icon Marilyn Monroe, who has long been considered a standard of beauty. Cyrus tweeted: “PROOF that you can be adored by thousands of men, even when your thighs touch.” You go, girl! We could not have said it better ourselves.

Miley was on fire about body consciousness, right? This prompted an “Amen” reply from the lovely Lovato, who has battled more than her fair share of weight comments over the past few months.

[click image to enlarge]

Rawr! Miley is a fierce protector of Demi, who then posted: “@MileyCyrus god I love you. SO DO YOU!!! And whoever called you that has it coming. Miss you more than ever,” she wrote. “@MileyCyrus ps SO proud of you for posting that! #curvesareBEAUTIFUL”

Earlier this summer, Lovato responded to comments about her post-treatment weight gain, which many keyboard ninjas dubbed the result of an eating disorder.

What a Twitterverse love fest between the two one-time Disney divas! It certainly warms the heart to see these two teens open up about body image and reminding girls to love themselves.

Miley Cyrus Out There Breaking Records

Miley Cyrus has received a lot of love from Guinness World Records. Now it has announced that she will be in the 2012 edition of the book! She has been a fixture in the series of books for the past 4 years now. She will be included in the 2012 edition for 4 entries, which are the following.

The teenager with most songs in the U.S. charts.
The most popular teenager on twitter.
The teenager with fastest #1 albums.
The highest-paid teenager today.

Miley has a lot to be proud about. However, I will say that a lot of stars have also has similar records. Like Justin Bieber, however, he will be included in next year’s book as well. While I will say that she has earned her spot, I do think that others are sometimes over looked before her. However, that is not her fault. I do wonder how she feels about these honors since most are about her music?

[click image to enlarge]

How do you feel about her being in the book for the 5th year in a row? I am starting to think that might be a whole new record for singer! However, they would know since they are the ones who put it out. I do hope that she releases a statement about the honor, though. I do think she owes that to her fans that keep helping her stay in place for those records.

Miley Cyrus Tweets Shocking Nude Pic

Miley Cyrus has just about had it up to her reportedly chubby cheeks with snide remarks, erroneous speculation, and gratuitous gossip about her recent weight gain. For the past week, various celebrity websites have labeled the So Undercover star as everything from pregnant to just plain fat. On November 14, Miley returned to Twitter to protest, and she made her displeasure felt in a unique way. She tweeted a shocking nude photo and with it, the following message.

"By calling girls like me fat this is what you're doing to other people. i love MYSELF & if you could say the same you wouldn't be sitting on your computer trying to hurt others."

Yikes. Miley Cyrus sounds really mad. And the photo she posted with her tweet showed just how angry she was. The photo, which you can see by clicking here, wasn't a naked picture of Miley. It was a shocking shot of an anorexic model sitting on her bony bottom clad in a pair of tiny bikini panties.

[click image to enlarge]

She's hiding her face on her arms which are clasped around her bony knees. All of her protruding ribs are clearly visible, as are her hip bones and shoulder blades. It's a stark and shocking image. And it's sure to hammer home to the media the fact that they've offended Miley Cyrus deeply--even if it doesn't get the crux of Miley Cyrus' message across.

Of course, the question is: will the disturbing photo of the moribund anorexic model have any effect on our society's thin-is-in obsession for females. Probably not. Alas, a good indication is the fact that one allegedly offending celebrity website posted a close-up pic of Miley Cyrus' rather porcine countenance right alongside the scary skinny model. Its caption wondered if La Cyrus' "hell of a bloated face [resulted] from too much food, too much booze, or, you know, too much sex - which could result in PREGNANCY." Ouch.

Looks like this smack down is just beginning.

Miley Cyrus speaks out on weight, body issues

Miley Cyrus took to twitter to slam critics who have said she has gained weight in recent months. The singer says these harsh words are setting a bad example for teens and tweens -- and her good friend Demi Lovato agrees.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus is speaking out after reports have surfaced criticizing the 18-year-old singer for gaining weight recently.

“Mily Cyrus shows off her fuller figure,” The Sun’s headline reads, with the caption saying that her face appears “rounder” and she was wearing a large shawl to hide “her curves.”
Miley Cyrus slams critics

Cyrus took to twitter to point out the effect these words can have not only on her, but other teens and tweens as well. “By calling girls like me fat, this is what you're doing to other people," Cyrus wrote, including a photo of an emaciated woman that appeared to have an eating disorder. "I love MYSELF & if you could say the same you wouldn't be sitting on your computer trying to hurt others."

The singer then posted a photo of a Marilyn Monroe, with the caption: "Proof that you can be adored by thousands of men even when your thighs touch."

Cyrus’ good friend Demi Lovato, who has struggled with eating disorders, tweeted her support. “Amen!” she wrote. “God, I love you... and whoever called you that has it coming.”

"I don't wanna be shaped like a girl I LOVE being shaped like a WOMAN & trust me ladies your man won't mind either,” Cyrus wrote, saying she loves Lovato’s sexy, curvy body.
Has media gone too far by criticizing teen stars?

The fact that Cyrus, who is far from overweight and is a role model to many teens, has to defend her weight brings up an important topic on the role that the media has on teen's body image. In fact, a recent study from the Girl Scouts Research Institute showed the effect that watching reality TV has on a teen's self esteem.

Miley Cyrus fights fat claims

Miley Cyrus has slammed critics for calling her fat.

The 18-year-old singer was incensed that there were rumblings online that she had put on some pounds and reports in the media that she was now overweight.

Fans of the performer took to her Twitter account yesterday calling Miley a "role model" and an "inspiration" leading the teen star to hit back at the negative press she has been receiving recently.

"By calling girls like me fat, this is what you're doing to other people," Miley said and posted a graphic image of an emaciated woman suffering from an eating disorder before adding, "I love MYSELF."

"I LOVE being shaped like a WOMAN & trust me ladies your man wont' mind either."

Miley is currently dating Australian actor Liam Hemsworth who recently told a magazine in his native country that he loves it when his girlfriend has "steak sauce dripping down her chin."

Fellow former Disney star Demi Lovato, who has also had criticism about her weight, tweeted her support to Miley.

"I love you," she told the ex Hannah Montana star. "Whoever called you that has it coming."

Demi spent three months in a rehab centre earlier this year for body image and emotional issues.

Miley Cyrus Standing Up For Womanly Curves

Miley — I’m so glad you’ve decided to be a role model after all – and that you’ve told off haters who criticized your size.

First of all Miley Cyrus — I am glad that you have the self-confidence to know that you are a beautiful young woman — both inside and out. I am glad that you feel good about your body and your fabulous figure and that you don’t feel in any way compelled to be stick thin like so many female celebrities.

When you were criticized by god knows who — some jerk — for NOT being scary skinny, you fired back on Twitter on Nov. 12 tweeting two photos with messages.

You posted a Twitpic of a frightening photo of an emaciated woman showing her malnourished rib cage, sunken -in stomach and pin thin arms and legs, and you accompanied it with this message: “By calling girls like me fat, this is what you’re doing to other people. I love myself & if you could say the same you wouldn’t be sitting on your computer trying to hurt others.”

[click image to enlarge]

Right on!

You also posted a twitpic of a photo of stunningly pretty Marilyn Monroe in a white bathing suit with a clearly protruding, but sexy tummy and well-rounded curvy and fleshy arms. Underneath you wrote: “PROOF that you can be adored by thousands of men, even when your thighs touch.”

Miley — you couldn’t have made your empowering point any better.

And hooray to smart Demi Lovato for joining the Twitter conversation.

She tweeted to Miley: “AMEN! I will destroy any one that ever calls you the F word. You have the SEXIIIIEST curvyyyyy body! I LOVE IT!”

Replied Miley:”god I love you. SO DO YOU!!! And whoever called you that has it coming. Miss you more than ever.”

Miley — I’m impressed that you’re so publicly standing up for yourself and for beautiful curvy Demi, who has also faced criticism for NOT being a skinny minny.

I’m impressed that Demi is supporting you.

And I’m also impressed that your boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, 21, is also in love with the fact that you eat normally, eat well and don’t worry about ridiculous dieting.

“When I look over at her (Miley) when she’s biting into a steak sandwich and there is some steak sauce, dripping down her chin, there is nothing sexier than that,” the young Australian actor told Australia’s Who magazine.

Clearly he and Miley love to eat together. He told the magazine that “there is this place in Nashville called Steak and Shake, which is pretty much the best food, ever. That is our secret, sexy place to go.”

Now Miley — you once said that you didn’t want to be a role model, but by standing up for all young women. You ARE a terrific role model and I’m proud of you!

Hicks: Miley Cyrus is right

Lost in this week's pop culture pandemonium over Brad Pitt contemplating retirement, George Clooney contemplating suicide and the Kardashians doing ... whatever they did to damage civilization and irritate humanity, a small news item caught my eye.

"Miley Cyrus upset by fat comments; says she loves being shaped like a woman."

My first thought was, "When did Miley Cyrus become a woman?"

Intrigued by the prospect of having missed this cultural benchmark, I continued reading and discovered that our country's newest woman is upset over speculation about her apparent weight gain which, as everyone knows, happens the day a girl turns 18 and her hips and bust expand like she's a Transformer.

Instead of responding with a bunch of comments about hating haters who are hatefully hating and whatnot, Miley Cyrus did something completely sensible, mature and kind of intelligent.

I'm not sure what planet this is. Cyrus posted a picture of an emaciated model, and wrote "By calling girls like me fat, this is what you're doing to other people."

Actually, we should blame that on the fashion industry. But her point was well made.

Then she posted a picture of Marilyn Monroe, captioned with "Proof that you can be adored by thousands of men, when your thighs touch."

True enough, though it was a lot more than thousands of men.

In retrospect, being adored by thousands of men probably shouldn't be the goal of any woman not in the pin-up/Maxim model/stripper industry.

I have four girls, none of whom I encourage to be adored by thousands of men, unless those men work for them or are voting for them in a presidential primary. "Respect" would be a better word. Perhaps, in the case of my girls, "feared" would be even better.

But -- ignoring the fact that Cyrus went on to threaten to "destroy" anyone calling her friend Demi Lovato fat (the singer and actress went to rehab for, among other things, an eating disorder last year) -- I get where the girl, er ... woman, is coming from. Everyone wants to be physically attractive.

It's the definition of "attractive" that's changing. Only the fashion industry -- with its hold on the hearts and minds of so many females -- hasn't gotten that through its collective, well-coiffed head.

Rotten role models

Despite years of criticism from medical professionals and otherwise incredibly sensible people like Miley Cyrus and me, the fashion industry still exhibits its wares mostly on the frames of women who weigh as much as my left leg, telling us "this is what women should aspire to look like."

I'm not sure why, because expressionless women who get carried away by a moderate breeze aren't that physically attractive.

And it's not just me. Or hasn't anyone else figured out that it isn't intelligence, sunny personality or a rapier wit that keep men paying attention to Kim Kardashian?

Healthy women who are physically and mentally strong are the new black.

Which is why, over the past decade, Hollywood has made so many films featuring female heroes who can roundhouse kick a man through a tree trunk.

Men go to those movies because we like that in a woman.

Once I discovered my wife had the skill to put an arrow through my cranium at 75 yards, I was hooked.

The fashion industry is woefully behind on what constitutes "attractive" in the 21st century.

No longer do men want someone who looks like she's been spending too much time giving blood. At least Miley says so. And, odd as it feels, I couldn't agree more.

Miley Cyrus dissed by Taylor Swift?

Miley Cyrus was indirectly dissed by Taylor Swift in a new interview with 60 Minutes. Evidently the country star took a dig at the teen queen, countering something she said with a comeback that was apparently a dig.

"I definitely think abouFile:Taylor Swift.jpgt a million people when I'm getting dressed in the morning and that's just part of my life now. I think it's my responsibility to know it and to be conscious of it," said Swift. According to Hollywood Life, Miley Cyrus made a comment about not being a role model and not dressing with her fans in mind.

While Taylor may not have meant to diss Miley directly, it certainly sounds like she's taking a different approach when it comes to her image. A lot of teen performers push the boundaries when it comes to their clothing, tattoos, and hair-dos (to name a few aspects) and it could be considered a form of rebellion.

[click image to enlarge]

Taylor Swift, however, is taking her position as a "role model" seriously. She is mindful of what she does whether she is on or off the stage... and that's her prerogative.
