Miley Cyrus Wants to be a Good Role Model

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on December 21, 2007 7:21 AM

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus doesn't want to be known for jailtime, pregnancy or DUI's: She wants to be a good role model.

“I like to look kind of like what girls would want to look up to, and their moms and dads will say, ‘Hey, that’s cool. That’s different,'" she said during a taping of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" yesterday.

The "Hannah Montana" star, 15, added she thinks of her audience when she picks out clothes for the red carpet.

“I say what I’m comfortable in and what I like and nothing that’s too out there," she said.

She also credits her dad, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, for keeping her grounded.

"My dad – he's a big influence, not only just because of the music but growing up around him," she says. "I've never seen him treat anyone less than with respect and love for everyone, down to the fans that wait until 3 in the morning until his bus pulls out at 5."

I think Miley is a special person and nobody’s perfect, so she doesn’t have to be little miss perfect. I hope you agree. About what I said earlier, she has to be good ya know. But you’re just not perfect. Everyone’s different. And what happened with Miley and Nick? Did they break up? I don’t know cause I’m a young girl, and I look up to her, and sometimes I get mad for looking up to her. But that’s just me. Use your own opinion. But try to make it in a GOOD way. Please no feelings hurt. And I’m sorry if I cause a fight or a bad comment. I’m eight. And I don’t really know what to say. But I do have one more detail. Don’t write REALLY RUDE comments about ANYONE!! I know I’m probably sounding mean to you guys, but I just said my own opinion, and you can’t lie. Make your comment nice and have other ppl agree about it. Thx! And I’m also sorry if I’m getting on ur nerves. Bye!

stop hating on Miley just cause YOU cant get Nick or any of the JoBros.
omg okay think of it this way.
only ONE girl can date Nick and most likly out of the billion girls that want him you chances are slim to nill.
so stop hating cause hate comes from Jealously,
think about it,

Okay, if she wants to be a good role model, why doesn’t she wear decent clothing instead of those short skirts?

miley cyrus is the most stupid person i have ever seen. she is a turd face and i feel very bad for the jonas brothers because they have to see her fartknocker hideous face almost everyday on her tour. she is a no talent fool who should get a face transplant to be even remotely easy to look at.

I think that there is nothing wrong with Miley…. She keeps her head on the ground and doesnt think that she’s better than anyone. And in the entertainment business now days you cant ask for more than she’s giving. If you cant control what your kids are wearing then WHAT IS UP WITH YOU AS A PARENT??? They can look up to people without being them and we as parents are the ones who should draw the line for our children if it’s crossed.

My three year old son and eleven year old step daughter love Miley Cyrus!! I know that I can turn on her show no matter what the episode and both of them can watch it without me fearing what things they will be exposed to. I don’t know her personally, so I can’t make a judgement on her life, but what I have seen, through her show and tv interviews, I’ve really like. I hope and pray she continues to be a clean, positive influence on tv for kids.
