Miley Cyrus
(named Destiny Hope Cyrus) was born on November 23, 1992 in
Nashville Tennessee to Billy Ray Cyrus (actor/country singer) and
Leticia Finley. She has five siblings: Christopher, Braison
Chance, Noah Lindsey, Brandy and Trace. [Quick fact: her father
nicknamed her Miley because he thought that since she was a baby she
never stopped smiling.]
She had
always admired her father and the way he performed in front of an
audience and had always wanted to do so.
She
received her first acting role in 2003, playing opposite her father
in the TV series Doc. She then appeared in episodes of
other shows. Later that year she had her big screen debut in the
movie Big Fish, playing a young Ruthie.
In 2006 her
family moved to Los Angeles and after many interviews and call-backs
she received her break-out role as Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart in
the Disney Channel hit
Hannah
Montana. The show has been a big hit for Disney.
Miley has
recently signed a four album contract with Hollywood Records.
The Hannah Montana Soundtrack hit stores in on October 24,
2006.
In December of 2007, she began
working on a spin-off movie to her TV series entitled Hannah
Montana: The Movie due to be released on May 1, 2009.
Her One In A Million DVD was be
released on Jan. 27, 2008.
On July 22, 2008, she released her
sophomore album entitled Breakout which peaked at #1 (this
was her first project that did not include the Hannah Montana
franchise)
In July 2008, Miley and a friend
(Mandy) published a parody on YouTube of a video YouTube blog by two
other upcoming Disney pop princesses -
Selena Gomez (Wizards of
Waverly Place) and
Demi Lovato
(Camp Rock). Although no one knows for sure, it might
have been created by Miley in response to Lovato allegedly dating
Miley's ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas of the
Jonas Brothers. Who
knows if calmer heads prevailed afterwards, PR people stepped in or
Disney executives told their princesses to all play nice, but in an
interview with PopStar! magazine, Miley said that she was "supersorry"
if they were offended, but were just having fun and actually were
trying to "support" Lovato and Gomez's YouTube website. [See
video and listen to apology here]
She lent her voice to an animated
character (Penny) in Bolt, which did fairly well in the box
office and earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
In February 2009, she was criticized
when photos of her making "slanted eyes" were published which made a
number of groups upset. Although she apologized, some groups
said it was not sincere. Comedian Margaret Cho has become very
outspoken againt Miley, even calling her a disgrace. She has since
been sued for $4 Billion dollars by a California woman on behalf of
the Asian-Pacific Islander population of Los Angeles.
On April 10, 2009 she will be releasing
a movie spin-off based on her hit TV show entitled "Hannah
Montana: The Movie"
Miley's third studio album, Can't Be
Tamed, was released in June 2010. This album displays a
more "grown up" Miley Cyrus, including sexually provocative music
videos.
Miley is going to be in a sequel to
Adventures in Babysitting tentatively entitled Further
