OlderMiley Cyrus: Paparazzi Are “Not So Cool Anymore”
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.”

Miley rocks
Wait for the miley haters to comment >:(
—————————————————————————————————-
She actually comes off as a professonal (sp) in this interview, that takes away a fraction of my Miley hate
1st!
1st!
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
I am so sick of the girl. She sounds like a smoker. Her voice is horrible!
What older audience? She is 15, her audience is 4-12 duh.
postwatcher, that’s not the only audience she has, there are even miley fans in their 20s
and btw, it would be awesome if selena, demi and miley were bffs xD lol random tought
finally she realized it shoot!!!
I’m 18 and a huge Miley fan!
I once took my younger sister to her show and was instantly HOOKED!
She blew me away in concert.
She has such a cool and collected atttitude for her age.
Rock on 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
wow, it would really be sad if she has fans in their 20s.
Mileys right..
Selena and Demi are not gonna be the “next miley”…cuz we dont really need another one..i think one is enough…lmao
i noe that was kind of mean :P
ANYWAYS>>>>SELENA AND DEMI ARE GONNA BE PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD AND ACTUALLY HAVE REAL TALENT..PEOPLE THAT ARE WORTH BEING LOOKED UP TOO!!♥♥
Mileys right..
Selena and Demi are not gonna be the “next miley”…cuz we dont really need another one..i think one is enough…lmao
i noe that was kind of mean :P
ANYWAYS>>>>SELENA AND DEMI ARE GONNA BE PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD AND ACTUALLY HAVE REAL TALENT..PEOPLE THAT ARE WORTH BEING LOOKED UP TOO!!♥♥
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.
#19 I am thinking the same thing LOL
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.
HA.
Although I like all the Disney girls, and each are talented in thier own right, I think Demi and Selena should be taking tips from Miley on how to become a successful popstar/actress.
The empire Miley has built is not easy to follow by any means.
Good luck to all three!
She’s so stupid! And she sounds fulll of herself. “I’ve always wanted the atttention, but now it’s not cool” Well that’s what you get for being an attention wh*re!! And Selena and Demi will NEVER be the next Miley because they have CLASS and don’t have millions of pics of themselves half-naked.
I seriously feel sorry for people who look up to Miley. They are like stupid and brainwashed. When she turns into Lindsay or gets pregnant they’ll still be saying “All teenagers do that.” LMAO. How pathetic.
DEMI and SELENA: PLEASE! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER be like this stupid wh*re!!!! NEVER.
I am not a Miley fan. I am a Vanessa fan but I think this is a very honest interview and actually intimates that she’s growing up. I don’t think anyone should write her off yet. Sometimes, you have to get smaller to get better. If she learns from her mistakes and starts being true to herself, she would still be a force to reckon with.
Anyday, I’ll take celebs who have weathered tough times and become better and stronger through them than all the goody two shoes in all their untested glory.
I hope she drops all the public purity ring statements, keeps her chastity between her and God and be real. She would be better for it.
I agree with her though, there can only be one Miley. Other disney stars should carve their own paths and stop walking in her shadow.
So sick of this snotty nosed little whorre! Go away!
i love miley she is alway telling the true and i know demi and selena are not the next miley!
uiiiiii adorei a miley é super fofaa beijossss
She still loves the pap attention. I agree with her on the next miley comment though.
She’s so perfessionaly when it comes to her job. I’ve honestly enever seen anyone become to famous and succesefull the way she has. She’s just so amazing, and i can;t wait to buy her album tomrw. &&
btw.. i’m 17 :] iloveher!
shes so hawt. selena or whoever that demi girl is wont become as big as her
please go away ***** =S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know what to think of her.
Her answers were nice.
They were the stuff I would say.
But she still kinda…
Idunno, I’m on the verge.
miley cyrus ROCKSSSS
Selena and Demi can’t be the next Miley, she’s right. They have to make a name for themselves, not jack someone else’s.
And when she said she wants an older audience, she means one her own age and maybe a few years older, instead of the usual pre-teens. I cannot WAIT for her new cd to come out :)
i think miley is a great role model if people could look past a magazine cover image i think that she had to work really hard to get where she is and she is not an attention wh*re or anything like that i can bet there a 15 year olds out there that can do stuff ten times worse and some do it just so happens to be that miley is really popular and for everyone person that likes her there is gonna be somebody who doesnt but i think miley is plenty mature enough to handle all those issues and i hope you people are mature enough to look past her mistakes
SHE IS JUST A TEENAGER EVERYBODY SLIPS UP ONCE IN A WHILE SO MILEY HATERS JUST LEAVE HER ALONE SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING CRUEL TO YOU
i think Demi lavato is really talented and has a great career ahead of her in both singing and acting
i think selena gomez is ok i just think that she should stick to acting thats all but she too is very talented (in acting)
So… what i dont get is this, if you are not fans and are so uninterested in a person, why would you read an article/interview and then go on to waste more of your precious time by commenting on it. And further, waste time by reading other comments and respond/argue with them?? I’m just sayin…
There are lives to be gotten, join a real club.
I’d like to say I feel sorry for her but I don’t. Her next step is to hit the drugs & rehab………I saw her on GMA and her outfit short, short, short shorts, black boots & a plaid shirt were so…..******. Even though you could tell she wanted to rip that shirt of or show some cleavage she knew she’d better not. I can’t believe all of the people with their tiny kids there!!! We all know most of those dads there with their little girls were’t there for their kids they were there to oggle Miley!!!
pfft, miley’s getting annoying.
go selena and demi =)
i’m 17 and im a huge fan. Her fans arent only 10 years old. She has older fans also. I think she did great in that interview.
i think miley cyrus is a real fake girl and i dont think she is a real rolemodel for girls because she isnt for me.
ps. i dont mean to harm miley cyrus
#27 who are you to call her out of her name???? u dont know her first of all and i wud like to see how u handle all of the pressure shes getting over a photo that wasnt even seductive i love miley unconditionally so now that she is getting more mature…thats good
o
I’m 29 and my daughter loves her so I’ve been exposed to her quite a bit. I think she is quite talented and listen to her CD in the car even when my daughter isn’t with me!
Miley Is Really Growing As An Artist and as a person
she has learned from her mistakes
(and p.s if anymore pics leak of her they are OLD or FAKE so don’t say she hasn’t changed,cuz she did them way back when she didn’t think about the consequences)
Miley Was Absolutley Right About Demi n Selena(even though demi will make it farther then selena)
Theres only on miley! 1 is enough!!!
GO BUY BREAKOUT TOMORROW JULY 22ND
miley is right.
the fans of team demi/selena think that they are gonna be “The Next Miley Cyrus”
she is right they need to be a huge success not trying to like copying famous people
not to sound mean or anything but demi will never be able to make it big
maybe selena
because her show is a big hit too but demi will never be able to become “The Next Miley Cyrus”
mileys trying to stay true to herself
but calling her a **** up the yenyang isn’t doing any good
Mileys a really great rolemodel at heart.
:]
I’m a 19 year old straight boy and I like Miley. Not only is her show my guilty pleasure, she’s flippin hott. How much longer until she’s legal?
ok.
so i agree with “The Next Miley Cyrus” thing
she is right they need to make a success their own way
not trying to feed off others & making it look like they have talent
i mean she loves having different age groups being a fan
she is right in every answer :D
Miley Rocks!
Throwing a tantrum in a song, is not shedding your false “good-girl” image. Taking your clothes off on the net and posing with your head in some guy’s lap, is.
Im 16 and a huge fan!
My friends love her too.
We sit there and watch Hannah Montana for hours, even epidsodes we’ve seen hundreds of time.
We all also have her songs on our ipods!
Yeah, we’re also not afraid to admit it.
So, so much for her audience being 4-12!
shes so effin full of herself
“people are looking up to what i do”
i wouldnt want to be anything like her shes a S L U T!! why would i want to be that…with all her s k a n k y pictures with her half dressed theres nothing great about her and i dont think demi or selena would ever want to be like her either!!!!! the stuff she does is untasteful and disrespectful to her fans…
hey if there was no papparazzi people would not be as famous as they are now.

Miley is soo amazing!
Miley is soo amazing!
“I am obviously in the public eye a lot”
That sounded a bit selfish…
I think she’s better at the little kids stuff…
Hey, my 4 year old sister loves her!
I love Miley, and she’s a GREAT role model.
Miley is AWESOME! I love her!
Demi is great too, but Selena not, she sucks!
i hate miley ¬¬
I knew it everyone likes attention at first but then its not so cool. Nice wat she said about Demi and Selena.
love her
Her “older crowd” audience???? WTF. Does she mean the 12 year olds instead of the 8 year olds? What a ponce.
haters im tired stop bashing on her miley is right everybody their own person miley will always be miley she rocks because she has grown up from the mistakes she has done.
everyone has their own opinions. THE END!
u cnt change each others opinions or juj ‘em either!
haters say wat they want.
supporters say wat they want.
END OF STORY!
I wish she would just fall off the face of the earth. She is a zero talent, awful role model. I can’t wait till her 15 mins are up.
miley it’s sooo nice, and i love the way she lives,, i love her personality, but this bangs are ugly! sorry miley!!
by the way i loved the interviews, miley ROCK ♥ !!!
To anyone who doesn’t think Miley has an older audience, you are sincerely out of touch. Her single “See You Again” is a college anthem you idiots!! Many many hs and college-age people love her stuff. This girl is a true bonafide natural talent that has only just begun to be tapped. Wait and see. The Lovatos and Gomez’s of the world will just have to be happy with second best. Miley is the first and last - noone else like her. She has mega non-Disney talent just waiting to come out -in both her singing and acting. Rock on Miley!
Biootch
Go Gina :)
That’s a good way to shut them up.
she reminds me of someone…aka SHANE…she said she wanted her own sound…idk y it reminds me of him
ew miley looks like a hoe! can’t wait to see the next miley cyrus!
aw i love miley
my inspiration <3
rock on Mileyyyy!! ;)
hahha Gina
WOOOOO!!!
good point =]
by older audience does she mean over 12 years.. I hear shes going on tour with barney..
ok i no, i always wished that i could be famous but you know i just cant but if i were famous right now then you know i would kinda like the pap but if they followed my everywhere i go then i would get annoyed so i dont blaim miley! i love miley cyrus!!!!!! but here is some advise for all of the famous stars that dont like pap then just ignore them they just want money they dont really care sometimes they just want the stupid money!!!!!!!!
i am so sorry to vanessa hudgens, zac efron, ashley tisdale, miley cyrus…ect!
you go gurl!!!~she’s definitely changed so much after the whole scandals and stuffs,but she’s changed and regaining her popularity again :) demi’s alright,but selena’s a total WANNABE.bitchy look and whatever,you just wanna be the next miley-which is NEVER possible!!!!her fame can never reach the level of miley’s.so you go gurl!!!!~and older audience meant people who aren’t young kids,doubt she would wanna sick for young kids all her life.BIG FAN!!!~
selena and demi are cool
and mileys cool as well
she’s right about the be them in their own
The peace sign is really starting to get old
Cara tadinha da Miley perseguida por paparazzis , antes ela fazia sinal de paz agora nem faz mais !
she is ugly
Well, I think that was a really good interview, good point about everyone needing to create their own style and image. Regarding the bad pictures/ good rolemodel stuff, well, I don’t really see how that would affect her music, which I sorta love (the Miley Cyrus stuff). And the pics were painfully pg-13 anyway, so come on she’s fifteen, let her live. And yes, I’m 20. Shut up.
**** the miley haters, go miley fans, we are the best, haha
this girl is like so awsome, she is always telling the truth, and plus when she does bad picture, she say that she is sorry
Ya know Miley is just such a talented girl and a good model. I look up to her for everything and i totaly get the paparazzi thing she is stateing. I love her and I think her life is going to be great from here on out!!
hi miley my name is laya and im 9 years old and I love your music I got all of your cd’s and when I grow up Im going to be a singer to I love to sing and this one time I signed up for this talent show at the holiday in and I song if we were a movie but I did that when I was 8 years old and i live in the state of michigan miley if your reading this right now then if you ever hear me sing and you liked it please try and make me famous because its my dream and this other time at my step dads memorial I song the song make some noise and when you sing I think that you have to have soul because when you sing I think you should sing about how you feel and whats going on in your life and miley you sing so amazing and beautiful and miley I just want you to forget about all those people that say your horrible at singing and all that other crap and when I see people saying that stuff I think there stupid then because I guess they don’t now what good music I I love you miley thanks for reading
i think after all the heat she has taking i definately think she has mature and she is a role model because eventhought she has been bash by incensitive people she held her head high and came back stronger than ever. people that were her friends turn her back on her we she needed them the most if you know what i mean. she has dealt with back stabbing friends,media bash,people bash, stolen pictures that people staring talking bad about her and like in her song nobody is perfect but she definately has come on top of thing by staying positive and holding on to her dream and working hard for it and more than ever she a role model she did NOT GIVE UP!!! and to think she is only 15 she did really good on this interview i dont think there could be another miley she work really hard to get up there. i think selena and demi also need to work hard to make their own way they are ok. but miley has a gift the way she so down to earth and cares about people. i think she here to stay for a while why not she works harder than any other teenager or some ground up i know. she just taught everyone never to give up even when things are hard.
this stupid girl…………..every one go to youtube.com and put miley cyrus then you will see why i hate her
omg miley cyrus sucks she thinks shes the new vanessa but shes not miley is just a ***** that thinks she can do watever
Hi miley i love u and ur music but u need 2 get ur act together but everyone makes mistakes!
