Miley Cyrus Changes Her Name! But Do We Care?
I didn't realize her name wasn't Miley until about a week ago. It's actually Destiny Hope, or it was, until she decided she didn't appreciate the name her parents gave her and changed it:
She plays Hannah Montana, and was born Destiny Hope Cyrus, but now she's officially Miley Ray Cyrus.Given the nickname "Smiley" when she was growing up, Entertainment Tonight reports that the 15-year-old has legally changed her name to Miley to reflect that. She chose to adopt Ray as her middle name in honor of her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Oh. Well, okay, it makes sense then. It isn't like famous people change their names all the time without going to the trouble of making it all legal and stuff, but whatever floats her little boat.
I predict a flood of little girls named "Miley" in the next year or so.
In other Miley news (have I ever done any Miley news? I don't think so, probably because I don't care), she had a bit of a mini-scandal when racy photos of Destiniley in a bikini and in her undies were leaked onto the internets:
The music industry's good girl, Miley Cyrus, is juggling more than a booming music and film career these days. After photos of the 15-year-old leaked online showing her posing in front of a camera in her underwear, those behind the star's "clean image" are fearing the effect it may have on the teen sensation's reputation. [...]As for the recent batch of pictures making it's way over the Internet, the insider says, "Miley was just having fun and goofing around in all these pictures, like any normal teen. They were never supposed to be made public, and Miley feels very betrayed that someone close to her leaked them."
Billy Ray, a word of advice:Â You need to keep a better eye on your daughter and her friends.
You see, the entire purpose of taking photos in your smalls (in this case, apparently at a slumber party) is for one reason...to show them to someone else. You don't take photos like that, look at them and say, "Wow, I look hawt!" and then delete them. Or you don't wake up one morning and just decide on the spur of the moment to take photos of yourself in your unders for no reason whatsoever. Every action has a reason. And the declaration that Milestiny feels "betrayed" that "someone close to her leaked them," just shows that she did show them to someone other than herself, send them to someone (not necessarily a male, possibly a girlfriend), or allow someone else to have a copy.
