I'm sure you are all familiar with the popular song Achy Breaky Heart performed by hit country artist Billy Ray Cyrus, however, it’s is his spawn that is in the spotlight these days. Daughter Miley Cyrus, or AKA Hannah Montana has taking the limelight from her father since the beginning of her Disney Series Hannah Montana, where young Cyrus plays the role of a secret Rock star who “lives the best of both worlds.”
Destiny Hope Cyrus was born on December 23, 1992, but her name was changed when the nickname SMILEY stuck and then quickly got shortened to Miley. Cyrus grew up in the farm with her family and 5 other siblings, but took a leap when was casted a small role in the TV production “Doc”. It was after this that Miley auditioned for the role as Hannah Montana
but was rejected the first time around for looking too young and too small for the role but eventually walked away with the title.
To follow her T.V Success, Miley released an album in October 2006 where she sang songs from the show. This continued her solo career when she released Meet Miley Cyrus and Breakout in 2007 and 2008.
Life seems to be well for this young superstar. However she has experienced some of the downfalls that some young artists face. Being at the young age of 16, there is a fine line to what image she can portray and what she cannot. And if that line is stepped over is when the controversies begin to arise.
In the spring of 2008, Vanity Fair had a photo shoot with the young star. The result of this scenario was what gave the media quiet the stir up.
Here was Miley’s response to the situation.
"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."
This is an example of the turmoil that a lot of young Music and Movie stars face. Where is the line and what is ok for then to cross or not. I believe the media has a mass affect on this and how they react is somewhat of a snowball effect. We accept the things that the media accepts, and we cringe at the things that are considered socially unacceptable.
