Miley Cyrus Likens Obsession Over Twilight To Supermodels

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" might have the best opening day in film history but Miley Cyrus does not give a damn. For the tween sensation, the whole Twilight craze is a cult. Worst, she compares the tweens' obsession to Twilight to people's fascination with supermodels.


Miley Cyrus says:

"I think it's like cult... I think it's a cult. I think it's bad. I think it's like, just people get too into it.

"For me, I think it's like when guys look at supermodels and they're like, 'That's the perfect girl.' That's what those kind of movies do to us. They're like thinking that's what girls should be like and not everyone is going to be Edward, hate to say it."

Definitely not a fan of Robert Pattinson, the Hanna Montana star goes on to quip:

"Johnny Depp is way hotter than Robert Pattinson, for sure."

Miley Cyrus may not like Twilight and other vampire flicks but more than half of the tweens who have access to Hollywood films feel the contrary. With their power over the economy, they might take her words personally and chose to antagonize her projects.

So watch your words, Miley. You have a lot of promotional campaigns to make for your upcoming movie, "The Last Song," remember? Oh, and let Twilight stars have their moment.

Miley Cyrus Grows Up In "The Last Song"

Miley Cyrus, today's premiere teenage pop icon, will be saying goodbye to her adolescence image anytime soon.

In the upcoming film "The Last Song," the 16 year-old Disney superstar (who will be celebrating her 17th birthday next week) will do serious acting.


"The Last Song" portrays Miley Cyrus as the 17 year-old daughter of divorced parents who is sent to spend the summer at her father's beach house. She is a gifted pianist like her dad, but she doubts following in his footsteps. Not much of a grown-up role, really, but it will be the teen star's first movie to get a PG rating (except, of course, for her cameo in R-rated "Sex and the City 2").

With $1 billion talent fee for the "Hannah Montana" franchise, Miley Cyrus is no doubt the highest paid teenager in Hollywood. And that is because she plays the adolescent Disney star.

But with the coming of "The Last Song" in April 2010, Miley Cyrus enters into professional adulthood. How would the audiences respond to her grown-up role?

We'll learn more of that in 2010. Today, we can watch "The Last Song" official trailer:

Miley Cyrus Vs Taylor Lautner: Double Standard For Teen Stars?

Does Hollywood have a double standard for its shirtless teenage stars?


When Miley Cyrus posed in Vanity Fair last year, wearing but a wrap of sheet and exposing her right shoulder and the top of her back, the negative reaction was overwhelming. Critics said the 15 year-old actress and her nude-implied photo is "sexualization of a child to sell magazines."

The call to reprimand the teen star was intense enough for her to eventually make a public apology statement saying, "I never intended for any of this to happen, and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone." This was despite how she expressed earlier liking to the photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz.

Now, with the New Moon movie coming to theatres in a month, there's the 17 year-old Taylor Lautner and his shirtless body blanketing the magazines, websites, and TV for the promotion of the Twilight sequel. Just like Miley Cyrus, Taylor Hautner is also a minor - a child. Unlike his fellow teen star, however, images of his shirtless body not only appeared on one magazine but on countless mass media. And unlike Miley Cyrus, no one called the shirtless photos of this teen male star scandalous.

And so Lindsay Robertson asks on Yahoo Movie Talk colum, "Does Hollywood have a double standard for shirtless teenage stars?"

Taylor Lautner trained for months to get the fit and toned body that New Moon has been showing off. But for all the shirtless images of him in circulation, there's only one major voice to raise questions about his photos. His New Moon co-star Kristin Davis says, "I feel protective, like what is he doing without his shirt on? And then I hear he's dating people, and I'm like, 'Ahh!'"


Good or bad for the young Taylor Hautner, no one is seeing his shirtless images as sexualization of a child to sell a movie. And while there's no big critic to his provocative photos, he could only hope that he never has to take his shirt off in a movie again:

"It's so uncomfortable knowing that so many people are seeing pictures of me shirtless... It's weird. It's kind of embarrassing."

Miley Cyrus Deletes Her Twitter

Teen superstar Miley Cyrus has deleted her Twitter account, leaving millions of fans and followers puzzled.


On her last tweet Wednesday, the 16 year-old and once twitter-obsessed star writes:

"FYI Liam doesn't have a Twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason."

Fans are not happy with Miley Cyrus' decision and call her new boyfriend and co-star in the upcoming film "The Last Song," Liam Hemsworth, as controlling. They are rallying to get the Disney sensation back to the microblogging site by making the #mileycomeback topic. It has become one of the most popular topics on the site since Thursday.

Miley Cyrus has 2,119, 677 followers on Twitter, all well-informed of her private life that she personally shares through either mundane or emotionally-charged thoughts.

Although the teen star's tweeting is a root cause for lack of privacy, it has helped her reached out to millions of strangers worldwide and ensures her a nice place in the media.

But now that Miley Cyrus, the most popular actress of her generation, has bid goodbye to the Twitterverse, will other stars follow suit? Will Twitter be over for celebrities?

Miley Cyrus Fights "Fat" Attacks

Teen idol Miley Cyrus got a blast for cyber-bullies who call her fat:

"Talk all you want. I have my flaws. I'm a normal girl there's things about my body I would change, but stop calling me f*t in post. I don't even like the word. Those remarks that you hateful people use are fighting words, the ones that scar people and cause them to do damage to themselves or others."


Following the 16-year old's joke about how her thighs jiggle, Internet critics were quick to attack her figure. But instead of getting depressed like most teenagers do, tough Miley uses her social networking account to send a message against the attackers she call "cyber-bullies."

Miley Cyrus' popularity started when she landed a lead role in Disney Channel's Hanna Montana in 2006. Since then, she become the world's famous teenager, especially inspiring teens who are also the ones most vulnerable and emotionally-affected by cyber-bullying.

Instead of spending too much time on gossip websites, Miley Cyrus says people should read their Bible as well as stories about the consequences of cyber-abuse and name calling.

"Kids hurt themselves. This is not something to be taken lightly," adds the most influential teen in the world.
