Will Miley be the next Britney?



I know we all hope young Miley is not on the same path as Ms. Spears but in this day in time it only makes sense to ask... Is Miley on the road to "crazyville"? Is she a good role model for teen girls? The star that is best known as Hannah Montana has some people wondering if she will turn out to be a brilliant young star that little girls can look up to or a Britney Spears or a Lindsay Lohan in the making. Lets face it even Britney and Lindsey were young and innocent at one point.

In a recent interview for Barbara Walters pre-Oscar show, which aired February 24, Miley's mom Leticia, told Barbara that Miley has recently entered a rebellious phase. “I think just being a normal 15-year-old girl is difficult,” she said, adding that she’s had to set “a lot of boundaries.” But is Miley pushing those boundaries too far? Recent photos of Miley’s sexy Grammy night outfit that was much to sexy for a 15 year old to wear but others considered Miley's new revealing look as normal teenage experimentation.

New racy photos, supposedly of Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus, are rumored to show the young starlet in her underwear. Some have said that the photos may be photoshopped. Regardless of whether or not the Hannah Montana star in fact took photos of herself in her underwear, why are we so obsessed with turning good girls bad?Before the new pictures surfaced, there was big drama about the Miley Cyrus photos that the Hannah Montana star took with a friend at a sleepover that some thought were a little too racy for a 15 year-old Hannah Montana star.

Miley Cyrus was drawn into the spotlight because of her famous father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and her hit show Hannah Montana, Miley seems to be just another victim of the public being overly eager to prove that no one is perfect. I think that the public is especially after the reputations of stars that make a point of going against the multiple rehab trip, doing lines in the bathroom, no panty wearing, sex tape having crowd, like the Hannah Montana star has. It seems that stars, like Miley Cyrus, would be better off putting anything about themselves that could be considered scandalous out there right of the bat, rather than waiting for someone to discover it.

I don't see Miley Cyrus as the next Britney Spears, but then again, I didn't see Britney Spears as an up and coming case for psychiatric speculation. I know that most parents probably don't want to hear this, but teenage girls about the age of Miley Cyrus, often take "racy" photos with their girlfriends and make jokes about sex. I guess it is their way of dealing with the transition from being an innocent girl to being a sexual being, and I say sexual being because those hormones do sometimes lead their minds to the gutter. Just like young boys may joke with one another about being gay, girlfriends will joke with one another in a similar sexual manner, which is what I see going on in the Hannah Montana star's first batch of "racy" Miley Cyrus photos. Hopefully young Miley will stick to her convictions and learn from the mistakes that she does make. Maybe Miley will rise above the "Britney Spears Curse".
