New And Improved Miley Cyrus Offers Up Advice For Young Performers In This Month's Notion Magazine
Miley Cyrus’s “wild child” exploits are hardly news at this point – after the VMAs, even a half nude photoshoot doesn’t come as too much of a shock. Add to that the fact that, while the ensemble she sports in a photo shoot for this month’s issue of Notion, while skin tight, is nowhere near as revealing as her VMA getup.
More importantly, Cyrus opened up to the mag about her new direction and her work ethic. And with her recent PR explosion, we have to hand it to Ms Cyrus – she does have a killer PR team. In the interview, which was done earlier in August, she explains: "People have this misconception of me that I'm just one of these kids on TV and that now I go off and party and I'm just this ratchet white girl, and I'm not. I work really really hard, I'm just in a different environment."
That’s understandable, considering that the former childstar did almost admit to having a few regrets about being pushed into the limelight too soon. When asked about her advice to young actors, Cyrus had this to say: "'Don't do it' because you need to enjoy being a kid. People don't realize but with so many responsibilities you hold an entire company on your back and you're a kid so you're supposed to f--k up."
It looks like Miley herself has managed to turn over a new leaf and, to her credit, she’s remained blissfully trainwreck free. Her VMA performance might have been divisive (to say the least,) but it was, none the less, a carefully considered PR move. And with her new album, Bangerz, coming out on October 4, the hype around Miley Cyrus’s name has never been bigger. It looks like the young woman might actually know what she’s doing.
