Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus has been around for a long time, and caused a lot of controversy, for someone who only turned 18 at the end of 2010. She started her career young, taking acting and singing classes at the age of eight, and within a year had appeared on her dad’s drama show Doc. She popped up a couple of times on the show, and at the age of 10 she had a part in Tim Burton’s Big Fish.
In her first few roles Miley Cyrus was credited as Destiny Hope Cyrus – her birth name – but when she landed the lead role in Hannah Montana at the age of 12 she was using her nickname ‘Miley’, which apparently was a shortened version of Smiley because she smiled a lot as a kid. Anyway, the most annoying role in television was hers, and her career took off.
Disney made the most of Miley Cyrus' success, capitalising on her singing ability in the show to produce soundtracks and launch Miley’s music career out of it. When she was 15, she earned $18 million, and made $25 million the following year. Rich. As. But intense interest in her meant the squeaky clean image was never going to last. When she was 16, someone hacked one of her email accounts and leaked a bunch of pictures of her in her underwear on the internet. Then, still 16, a few provocative pictures and a pole dancing sequence at a teen awards really annoyed parents. The biggest one though came when Miley Cyrus was filmed smoking a bong just after her 18th birthday. Badass.
