If she can't kill off he old child role, she will never be able to play believable roles in movies when she is older.

She is doing it for a reason I'm guessing, it is probably well calculated.



Just look how well that worked for Britney Spears, LMAO!!!!


More like Christina Ricci and Jennifer Love Hewlett


Jennifer Love Huge *use your imagination* at least has something to look at though......

She originally projected a wholesome down-to-earth image to young girls through the Hannah Montana persona. This about-face into teenage whoredom is a massive fall from grace for somebody who has been influential to so many young impressionable minds. This is somewhat disturbing quite frankly and that's the reason for the outrage. Had she not originally dawned this far more innocent role; had she not had the pre-existing audience of young girls, I don't think the reaction would have been so dramatic.

Courtney Love is an enigma. She's collaborated with Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan, and hangs out with Chris Rock.

If Madonna wants to sue, she should sue Lady Gaga. If George Harrison can be found guilty of 'subconscious plagiarism', then Lady Gaga is obviously guilty of intentional plagiarism.

I think this is close to the mark. But what really struck me was that she still looks about 14, especially with the tennis shoes on. Mix that with the moves and it looked a prepubescent sex slave being forced to work in a porn movie. THAT was disturbing, and almost as bad was the knowing that this was actually something she chose to do.

 

[Stelth]

I'm not a prude, and I'm not against sexiness in a stage performance. Many plays and musicals have a fairly strong sexual undercurrent. There are plenty of female singers who make the most of their, uh, assets. However, Miley's performance was not about music primarily, but about very crude references to sex. I didn't think it was sexy at all, and I don't think it would have been sexy if an attractive female had been substituted for Miley, either. There was no subtlety, just a nod to the mechanical aspects of sex. Pointing a big foam finger at various crotches isn't all that appealing, and the tongue-slathering made me wonder if she was having an adverse reaction to some medication.

 

[Cutehumor]

it's definitely an attention thing to prolong her career.
she doesn't need the money. celebritynetworth.com says she is worth 150 million bucks right now. how much of that was hannah montana lunch boxes, posters, and notebooks with her face on it? alot I bet

Pretty much this. ^

She's trying TOO hard to not be Hannah Montana anymore even though she has a huge following (and a huge bank account) for being exactly that. She could be a bit more subtle but I guess that's not something a 20 year old who's lived most of her life in the spotlight knows how to be.

Also, there's a huge difference between being sexy and being trashy, but apparently she does not have a clue what that is. Licking her own face, grabbing her crotch and humping a foam finger certainly falls under the latter.

And what was she even 'performing'? I recall maybe one or two lines of poorly-sung lyrics and the rest of it was just her skipping around the stage like a kid who's had too much sugar, pausing briefly every few seconds to stick her [censored] out at the crowd and lick her eyebrows. At least people like Madonna and Lady Gaga can actually perform something, not just slither and wiggle around onstage like an idiot. It wasn't the least bit appealing or even interesting.

But as everyone's said, she's doing it for attention. Mission accomplished and then some.

Which is exactly why my kids will never be babysat by the TV. I hate to think that a person who is not yet mature and has not figured their way in life is somehow being the example by which my kids would learn... Or worse, is the conduit by which someone with some agenda is forcing their opinion of the right life and existence via these actors.

Actors, singers, etc are just entertainers, are just make believe, and arent to be trusted to be anything else or looked up to or put on any pedestal, particularly kids who cant handle it and arent mature.

 

[KitaCam]

Why?
No talent + no art + overexposure + shock = entertainment for those with little awareness, or understanding or appreciation of talent and art.

theatrics trumps theater
mass marketing of superficiality to superficial mass market = profits

 

[65cuda]

I realize that she wants to get away from the Hannah image, but that doesn't mean you have to jump to the trash side either. She has/had the following that she could go into more adult roles that didn't include acting like a stripper. You'd think that someone would make her sit down and see a review of people like Britney and Lohan and hopefully wake her up. I'm sure that Billy is quite proud of his little girl now.

 

[Clevy]

Miley is doing what most young actors do as they enter adulthood.
The girl from saved by the bell Elizabeth something or other did that stripper movie. Alyssa Milano did those soft porn poison ivy movies.
Even Justin bieber is attempting to shed his good kid image.

And it's a dumb pattern to follow. I don't see how some short term attention on TMZ or whatever is a real career boost. More like a final 15 minutes. They all do it though.

Child stars should just milk the Disney gravy train as long as they can, then invest in a business or get a regular job and just take it easy.

Going from Disney star to twerking in da club high on molly won't make a Madonna out of Miley Cyrus.

 

[Shannow]

Actually, I need to thank JB as well...

The Beatles went from "Paperback writer" to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in a couple years. Someone back then was probably ticked that they weren't bubblegum pop anymore.

Jessica Alba had to forcibly separate herself from "7th Heaven" etc etc.

Not sure what that would accomplish. I think Britney still has her millions. Lohan is just a crack [censored] and has been pampered way too much. If she were someone from the ghetto or even you and I and did what she has done, we'd be locked up and hardly see the light of day. Yet she goes to rehab lots of times, gets out, does it again.... I say let her do what she wants and if she kills herself with drugs and booze that's it. Some people just can't be "fixed"...

[grampi]

This is what people do to become/stay popular when they don't have any talent...look at Madonna and Lady Gaga...they have no talent so they have to do things that are shocking/controversial in order to garner attention...you won't see people with any real talent pulling off garbage like this...
