I was debating on whether or not to weigh in on this Miley Cyrus business. Normally, I try to keep the bad girls away from The Celebrity Role Model blog and not give them the attention they’re looking for. Because so many young girls look up to Miley Cyrus, I wanted to offer my opinion - for what it’s worth.

I don’t know what Annie Liebovitz or Vanity Fair was thinking when they suggested taking "arty" photos of Miley Cyrus. I don’t care how many magazines they sell, they have a responsibility to be responsible. Putting half naked photos of a teenager in a highly-circulating national glossy is inappropriate on so many levels I can’t begin to count. This is why many of our teens feel it’s ok to be promiscuous or pose nude for their boyfriends. Shame on Vanity Fair and shame on Annie Liebovitz. I will no longer support either.

Now, Miley Cyrus…what were you thinking? I don’t care if you thought it was art. I don’t care if you felt you were misled. I knew enough not to take my shirt off at 15, why don’t you? Don’t tell me you didn’t know any better because you make a big deal of saying what a great role model you are for kids. Role models don’t behave in this manner and 15 year olds don’t behave in this manner. Given the nature of some of the other photos circulating on the Internet, I do believe you knew better Miley Cyrus. It’s only a matter of time before you’re photographed stepping out of your limo without any undergarments or we post your DUI mugshot.

And Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley’s handlers - what were you all thinking? When is it ever appropriate behavior to allow a 15 year old to take off her top for the camera - whether it’s for art or not? I’ll give you a hint…never. I don’t know what possessed you to allow Miley to do this but really, as the parents and people who are looking out for Miley’s best interests I have to ask, are you raising another Lindsay Lohan? Is this how a "wholesome" kid behaves? Way to look out for Miley, guys.

In light of recent events, Miley Cyrus is no longer welcome at The Celebrity Role Model Blog. In a few years, if she behaves in a manner appropriate for a role model, we’ll consider her application for reinstatement.

As you can probably tell, we’re big fans of Miley Cyrus here at the Celebrity Role Model blog. We think she has a good head on her shoulders and likes that she places education and family values high on her list over partying, dating and photo ops.

We also like that Miley realizes that she’s a role model for other teens and tweens and as such needs to behave in a certain manner. Miley said she picks out her own outfits for the red carpet with other teens in mind.

“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. I look way young and that’s the way that’s more comfortable for me.”

Rock on, Miley. We expect great things from you.

We love Miley Cyrus here at the Celebrity Role Model blog and when I spotted this Hannah Montana audition video at Junior Celebs I had to bring it to you!

Miley Cyrus gives us a look around her tour bus.

Mindful of what’s happening among the members of young Hollywood’s elite, Billy Ray Cyrus is hoping Miley makes good choices and continues to act in a positive manner.

“I worry every day,” Cyrus told CMT.com. “Luckily, we go back to our roots. We’re a faith-based family. We’ve always tried to live for the light. I’m the last guy to cast a stone at anybody. I’ve made as many mistakes or more than any of those kids have made out there. But I tried to learn from my mistakes, so I’m hoping that Miley can look at my life and some of the other things around here and just learn so she doesn’t have to make those mistakes.”

Cyrus also said that Miley, who was only 12 when she was cast in Hannah Montana, has a “good head on her shoulders and a good heart.”

“We pray every day that she’s going to make good decisions. Then we pray every day that I’m gonna make a couple of good decisions, too. She’s probably worried more about me than I am about her.”

“Hannah Montana” star, Miley Cyrus, just passed a test allowing her to study at a 10th grade level. Miley should really be in 9th grade. When asked if Dad Billy Ray Cyrus will be helping with her studies she replied, “Are you kidding? He tries to get me to play tic tac toe on the back of my notebook.”

Good for you, Miley. School always comes first. It’s nice to see someone take her studies seriously.
