Miley Cyrus In The Time 100: A Psychic Profile Penned By Donny Osmond

Former teen idol Donny Osmond profiled Miley Cyrus for this year's Time 100, a list of the most influential people in the world. Written before the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair uproar and before the MIley Cyrus bra shot controversy, it is eerily prescient.

Within three to five years, Miley will have to face adulthood. Fans grow up, and their youthful interests quickly dissolve. Her challenge will be overcoming the Hannah Montana stereotype. Miley's fans are not thinking about the fact that she will grow up too. As she does, she'll want to change her image, and that change will be met with adversity. It's next to impossible to fight, embrace, use or love your image. Trust me. I've seen this all play out before; it's the same ball game, just different players in a different time.

But Miley has an amazing support team. She seems to have good Christian values, with parents (including dad Billy Ray) teaching her important life lessons. She has management that has seen this phenomenon through before--Jim Morey's company--Jim managed me during my Puppy Love days. I hope Miley enjoys every minute of this brief experience before her inevitable reinvention takes place. It's going to make a fascinating book someday. I'll read it.

I never realized this until just now seeing the picture of Miley Cyrus here again. Her full little girl cheeks, the bright red lipstick and near death looking skin tones remind me of a documentary I saw about Child trafficking where they showed how little girls are dressed up to look older and forced into prostitution. Put her on a slimy back street in Mexico city, Rio, or even Bangkok, and she would fit right in. I just think anyone who finds that picture attractive has a lot of problems.

And 10-year-old girls everywhere ponder the photo of Hannah Montana's afterglow and think about how to make themselves look sexier. Must every childrens' pop culture image be crude and sexual?

What's wrong with the picture of MIley is that she appears to be sitting at the foot of my bed after we've just tossed around for a good hour. Except with freshly applied lipstick.

A couple of things plus one more. One; Miley Cyrus isn't even that attractive. Even if u throw in all that money. She's just a rich kid. Two, I have seen girls her age with less on in the shopping malls, and TV programs. One more; Who gives a rats ass. I'm not impressed with her or others with a seven or eight figure financial statement. I am more impressed with individuals who HAVE to work two or three jobs and have to cut a meal a week, just to keep up.

One. Who cares if you think she is attractive or not.
Two. Who cares what the girls at your local malls are wearing.
Three. Who cares what impresses you.

Hmmm... do we have a recurring theme here????????

[ForRichardorPoorer]

Hmmmmm....yes u are habitual. I'm sure you are a handsome woman indeed!

Osmond writes a good profile. He may have a head on his shoulders.
My only quibble is this unnecessary need to append the word "values" with the epithet "Christian". Values are values, you have them or you don't. The 'Christian' bit is just tagging along for the ride. How many "Christian values' voters were enthusiastic cheer-leaders for Bush's torture camps the very same year that they wept bitter tears over 'the Passion of the Christ'? How many church-going Christians happily attended public lynchings in the old south? How many openly hate gays and Jews and a laundry list of other groups today? If somebody has values say they have values. Modifying the word 'values' to the phrase 'Christian values' only serves to dilute the word's power.

The Osmond's are Mormons.

[TroubleNYC]

And Mormons are Christians. What's your point?

[AtTheMoon]

And Donny thinks he's part of the super powerful Christian political force, but did he see what happened to Brother Romney? Christians hate Mormons almost as much as they hate Jews. And you know how Billy Graham and his pals hate Jews.
Wake up Donny. They will never believe you're a Christian. Stop kissing the ass of the Christian Right.

Miley Cyrus one of Time's 100 Most Influential People??!!!
This, the fact that the Jonas Bros are getting $100 mill record contracts, and all we see on the news is Rev Wright (and no "real" news) is leading to believe that I'm in Bizarro World!

[SharonB]

That is just exactly where we are...what scares me is, just when we think we have heard it all and nothing any more stupid can happen... TAAAAHH DAAAAAAHHHH! More idiocy!
