Miley Cyrus is Now Official!

Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana has legally changed her name from Destiny Hope Cyrus to Miley Ray Cyrus according to ETonline.

Miley has been her nickname because she was always smiling (”Smiley”) growing up.

She added in Ray as her middle name for her dad and country music star Billy Ray Cyrus.

Miley’s created quite a stir recently with candid pictures of the Disney star popping up on the Internets.

did she get her teeth fixed recently? at her movie premiere her teeth were normal and not different sizes and such like they are here… and her teeth are normal on the cover of us weekly. good for her if she did, they look a lot better.

anyways, i like the show hannah montana but i dont get the obsession with her concerts and such. although, i am 18 years old, not 10 haha.

and she might as well changed her name, no one called her that anyways… do you think he parents were maybe somewhat disappointed that she wanted to change her name though, since her dad said she was “destined to bring hope to the world” i mean, there was actually a meaning behind her name. it wasnt just some random name.

i’m so tired and annoyed of seeing her everywhere!!!
but i’m glad she changed her name…maybe now parents out there can really see that she had an ugly name to beginning with and hopefully they won’t name their child that

ew, she needs to spend some money on fixing her ugly teeth. She looks like a cave woman who feats on raw meat ripping sinews and tendons from dead carcasses.

WHEN A YOUNG GIRL HAS TALENT LIKE HANNAH MONTANA OR MILEY CYRUS PEOPLE LOOK FOR THE BAD. SHE AND HER DAD HAVE GIVEN ISNSPIRATION TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND GOD KNOWS THAT THEY NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK UP TO TODAY. HER DAD IS AN AWESOME MAN TO. WHY DONT WE LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN PEOPLE THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA TODAY. GOD PUT US ALL ON THE EARTH TO LIVE THE GOLDEN RULE TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WISH TO BE TREATED. GOSSIP MONGERS WILL ALWAYS BE IN EXISTENCE IT IS WHERE THEY GET THEIR WEEKLY PAY CHECKS FROM. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND LOOK TO THE GOOD IN PEOPLE NANA
