Quote Of The Day: Miley Cyrus
NOV 5, 2009 AT 09:23 AM
Miley Cyrus doesn't want to be idolized figure whom kids want to be like. She wants to be a "role model" whom kids look up to.
"If you look at me as a role model I agree with it. If you look at me as an idol, I don't agree.
"An idol for me is someone that you want to replicate. You want to be them.
"I don't wish that on anyone, to lose what they have personally, because that’s when your spark goes."
I think it's great that Miley's warning kids to be themselves, not copycats!

Very true. I use to not care too much for Miley. I took my daughter to her concert and I was very impressed with her energy and dedication.

Blah Blah Blah, go talk to your lil sis & tell her to be a little girls & not try to be a grown person.
yea, vera, and it's also great that she wants to be a role model. yea, model yourself after the way she dresses? behaves? what she says? sorry, but I fail to see anything that people (let alone young girls) should model themselves after. what a twit.

That's actually a very mature statement but hard to take seriously from Miley. The outfit was for filming "Sex and the City".

A role model is someone you want to be like, someone you respect and admire. An idol is something or someone you idolize and worship.

One or six of her choices thus far indicate that she has no business trying to be anyone's role model OR idol. Just be what you are, Miley, a celebrity teenager with more money than you should have. And two parents who seem to give you few boundaries to work within.

I think anyone that looks at her as a role model needs some serious help. If I had kids, I certainly wouldn't want them looking like her, dressing like her, acting like her... From my persepctive, she is a bad influence. That's great that she has a lot of energy and dedication, but so do several other stars who don't dress like two-bit hookers when they were/are a teenager.
Can we have a Miley ban? I am soooo sick of this twit.
she should drop her stylists now, she looks completely out of her element. this is the ugliest collar I have ever seen btw.

well she needs to make sure her little sister is learning not to be like her because for halloween it sure did look like she wanted to follow her footsteps. either way, that's good she's telling kids to be themselves and not be like their idols.

Yeah, I still have that mental picture of her little sister's "costume" in my mind. Gross.

Ha, no. After seeing Party In The USA video for the first time last night I have to disagree. She is not a good role model and she shouldn't think of herself that way.

if I had a 16yr old daughter who looked to her as a 'role model' i would be seriously concerned. Sorry but I think she is just horrible.

Yup, yup.

just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean you should be a role model. in fact, most aren't- and miley DEFINTELY falls into the "not a role model" category.

Not a role model at all.
