Miley Cyrus: Paparazzi Are "Not So Cool Anymore"

Miley Cyrus: Paparazzi Are

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus recently spoke with Extra! about her current life as a teenager and her new CD, Breakout. Here’s what she had to say:

On shedding the good girl image: “I wanted to embrace my older audience a little more…kind of taking shackles off and doing the music I wanted to do. They are the things I want to say to the world. I just want this to be a CD that you can let loose to and dance to and kind of forget all the crazy stuff!”

On how she deals with the constant media attention: “There’s going to be that no matter what…I am obviously under the public eye a lot…Instead of putting negativity to it, taking the opportunity to make it a positive thing. It gives me an opportunity to voice those decisions, those things I go through a little more publicly, and hopefully they help people out in their lives.”

On paparazzi chronicling her every move: “Yeah, 24/7. It’s weird. At first I kind of always wanted it…then once it started happening to me it’s not so cool anymore.”

On her family being protective of her: “My big brother [Trace] especially…I love him so much. He’s always been very different, me and him both, and so we’ve both kind of gotten scrutinized for that and he kind of understands and he wants to help me through it.”

On critics calling Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato the next “Mileys”: “People are looking up to what I do. But, I don’t think there could be a next Miley. I think they should be the next Selena, Demi…make their own way.”

She actually comes off as a professonal (sp) in this interview, that takes away a fraction of my Miley hate

She’s amazing.
She’s seriously taking a sharp turn and starting to become a really good role model again. Miley learned alot from her previous mistakes, I think and that’s really good. She’s changed in a good way.

I think she did well, and was good on saying that everyone is their own person. She’s moved up.

She’s right about everything she said, specially about selena and demi being the next miley

Miley is going to be a has been before she is 21,, she might have loads of money, but it wont take long for certain people to help her spend it …

You little kids who are posting here need to find a better role model than Ms Cyrus

She makes a good point.

I think at first, ANY artist (whether they want to admit it for not) wants to reach that ‘level of success’ where the media (paps) are interested.
And once you reach it, you realize how your entire private life has gone down the drain.

Great interview.

i like that she wants selena and demi to be themselves. miley is a cool girl and she truly is a role model

Anyone who thinks Miley doesnt work hard is clearly delusional.
That girl has worked and continues to work her butt off.

Why is it sad that she has fans who are teens?? Who cares about age? It’s just a number.
See You Again is a great song for ANY age.
