Yesterday, Billy Ray Cyrus’s GQ interview made the rounds, and it quickly became the story of the day. The Mullet opened up – for six long pages – about his faith, his mistakes as a parent, how Hannah Montana and Disney destroyed his family, and how he wished he could do everything differently. Go here for a recap. Maybe The Mullet was speaking from the heart, maybe he was coming across as truly hurt and destroyed, or maybe it was just yet another dumb move in the tainted history of Cyrus Family badness.
So… instead of answering her father’s appeals or issuing her own statement in kind, Miley and her mother Tish chose to do a photo op together, hours after The Mullet’s interview came out. The message seems to be (in my mind): “Nothing to see here, no emergency, no tragedy, just a teenager hanging out with her mom, because the teenager can’t hang out with her dad, because he’s crazy.” That’s how I read it.
Also – Fame Pictures has these pics labeled “Miley’s Weight Gain”. I know many, many people noted Miley’s apparent weight gain or bloated appearance at the Grammys, so let’s discuss it. If you look at her body, she really hasn’t gained weight, that I can see. Her face is just a little puffy, which may be from alcohol, or maybe from too much salty food. Who knows? I won’t defend Miley about most of her junk, but I will defend her puffy face and her “weight gain”. She’s 18 years old, for God’s sake! Were you eating healthy and always sleek and not puffy when you were 18?

PETA is going to raise a stink about her keeping a fox in that purse.
Miley has lovely legs!!!!
Tish is Dina Lohan 2.0.
Oh, and I am a salt monster, I love salt and my face has never been bloated from salt.
No sorry- that face is all booze bloat. 18 year olds don’t get puffy like that from salt. I actually feel a little bad for Miley- she has no talent, and her window of fame is closing rapidly. She needs to step away from her skanky mother though; Old Tish just screams “recycled groupie living vicariously through teenage daughter- hopes to one day meet Dina Lohan.”
Miley’s got that Lohan strut down pat. And her mom is Dina Lohan made over. It’s such a shame. Another Disney princess gone bad.
Miley’s mother is a walking skeleton, what’s really going on here? What a sad family.
she is not fat , she is chubby and i dont know really but i thought it is much easier to stay slim when you are a teenager than when you are an adult (at least for me it was ) , or maybe she suffers from hypothyroidism she has a pretty thick neck imo
She has definitely gained weight, as you can see it in her hips and legs. BUT she is in NO WAY overweight nor does she need to lose the weight that she gained. She is growing up, her metabolism is changing, and I would expect her weight to fluctuate somewhat as she fills out. I repeat, she is NOT overweight and does not need to lose weight. Had to make that clear before everyone jumped me! She has a cute, healthy figure, and I’d rather see her at this weight than see her starve herself to try to be skinny.
Miley has always been a slim/thick size, similar to Hilary Duff (it works for her). Hilary got scary when she lost her weight.
Maybe Miley is a little bloated around that time of the month. I am not seeing any radical weight gain issue here.
Can’t defend that roadkill on her bag…ewww
what is that friggin tail hangin’ down Miley’s bag? It’s horrible, and I hope it’s fake.
Anyway yeah, she’s a bit puffy and it’s alright for her to be, but she should know how to dress up.
I just hate Tish, she seems such a bitch.
I want Tish’s sweater. It would probably cost a month of my salary, though.
Her mother is prettier and has a better figure. That must be irritating to a teenager.
I would never criticize a teen about her weight. The child doesn’t need an eating disorder on top of her other problems.
She needs to gain weight. She looked like a lollipop before, so a little weight is a good thing. Her dad’s story sounds about right to me and her mom seems like Dina Lohan 2.0. Let her party away, Tish, good idea! As long as the money comes rolling in, it’s all good for mama.
@devilgirl, ITA.
Cyclops Myley needs to go where most over exposed child stars go.
Eh. She looks to me like someone who doesn’t sleep a whole lot and has recently done some crying into a couple of cans of PBR.
If I could give this girl some career advice, it would be this:
1) Your acting is just awful. Please stop what you’re doing, take some lessons and then take smaller parts in films with seasoned actors so you can learn from someone who has real experience in the art form, outside of the house of mouse. And no, Demi Moore does not count as seasoned. The chosen mentor has to be someone with a talent outside of twitter and plastic surgery.
2) Do not let your mom manage you or otherwise have any financial say in your career. If you don’t already have a good lawyer and a good accountant, get them now. Invest your money wisely and don’t blow it on stupid things, like gold plated ferraris or a birkin bag made out of a Louis Vitton bag.
3) Call your dad and talk it out. I know your parents split. But, that doesn’t mean you have to take a side. Plus, is the mullet really any less cool than your mom? Think about it, she most likely slept with Bret Michaels. They’re both pretty embarrassing. At least give them equal opportunities to make you do face palms about your unfortunate gene pool.
4) I can’t believe I’m saying this, but go back to music. This time though, go talk to your godmother Dolly Parton and ask her for singing advice. You sound reasonably listenable when singing her style of songs. Besides, I hear Dolly can do just about anything. So, there is hope that she may be able to find a way to turn your twang into a tune.
5) Girl, get a stylist. If you’re going to continue to market yourself mostly on image, you are sorely in need of help.
6) If you do make more music, the new album would have to be simple and totally devoid of autotune. If you have any desire to be taken seriously, you cannot sound like you are singing lyrics you came up with while doing a stream oconsciousness jam on your cell phone into an industrial sized fan anymore. Also, don’t do any songs bragging about how hot you are from now on. Last time I checked, anyone giving you a 10 would have to be rounding up a lot.
Anyway, that’s my two (ok, six) cents on this one!
totally agree, you shouldnt diss on her weight. first, because she is a teenager, and secondly, because she is anything but fat/overweight.
her face has always been kind of hamster-puffy. i always thought it gave her that cute teenager vibe.
so what?
I had abnormally puffy/fat cheeks from birth until my freshman year of college. I looked like I was smuggling at least 20lbs of nuts in each cheek basically. Small forest critters were even jealous of my huge cheeks.
And then BAM, my sophomore year they went away. No more chubchub cheeks!
I have a feeling Miley is going to lose the puffy cheeks in a few years too.
I think she looks better with a little extra weight. I thought she looked gorgeous at the Grammys.
I think she looks fine. She’s always had chipmunky cheeks. She probably has issues, don’t think weight is one of them.
Total bloat in the face, no question. But also weight gain; you can see it all over. But who gives a damn really.
bloated face from whatever she’s doing. not judging but she should slow it down a little.
Oh gosh, she looks fine. The last thing she needs to do is lose weight. She looks like MAYBE she gained a pound or two, probably from drinking. She’s always had chubby cheeks, even at her thinnest. SHE LOOKS FINE. Annoying, but healthy.
Her mother on the other hand…Dina Lohan Part II, indeed. Also…ano much?
midnight munchies after too many bong hits and tequila shots will tend to cause weight gain….
Yeah, she’s gained some weight. I’ve even commented on it in some threads. And I’ll admit I prefer the lean look on both men and women. But I’m going to back off her on that. She’s so young and really going through a rough patch.
What I’m not going to back off on though is her horrible posture – !!
And oh yeah, I agree with the poster who said she wants Tish’s sweater. I want it too!
yuck. they’re both gross.
Yo – I had probs with water retention in my face (that’s what it seems like to me, anyway) as a girl, all the way up until recently (because I don’t really care anymore). My mother is the same way – she can wake up looking like she was stung by bees all over her face on any day of the week. I believe that allergies and the position you sleep in (on your stomach, for instance) can have that effect on some people.
Not a Miley fan, but I will say one thing about her –
My husband knows someone who was her backup singer on tour for a while. She said that surprisingly, Miley can really sing. It’s a shame she hides behind autotune so much.
I won’t comment on her weight because she’s a baby. But I will say that she needs someone to give her a reality check and instill some freakin’ sense of responsibility in her.
how amusing that this story about greedy, bucktoothed, no talent rednecks is right next the beautiful, classy, moving liam neeson interview.
just pointing that out.
Team Mullet.
They are smiling but you can see the hurt and betrayal behind their eyes. I hope Billy Ray doesn’t become a Michael Lohan.
I don’t care how much money she has. I would not want to see photos of myself labelled “weight gain” and have everyone commenting. Esp. at 18! Yeesh. No wonder celebs starve.
Having said that she is cute ‘puffy’.
DetRiotgirl: Well stated!
This is not a “photo op.” If you look at those teeny sites like Just Jared Jr, they have a new pic of her nearly every single day. Her mother is a walking stick, so she’d make anyone look bigger. Add in that Miley has that moon face and short neck from Billy Ray, then you see it is mostly just genetics.
She looks fine I would love to have a body like hers b/c she’s healthy but she also eats and has fun. There are tons of photos of her leaving the gym etc.
Her parents are also going through a divorce. She has enough going on with being so busy and having to deal with something so heart breaking. I do really feel for her.
They are both dressed soooo weird. That tail is horrible!
I’m a salt monster too. I really need to start watching it. You know those little Twang lemon/salt constainers? I could carry one around with me everywhere. My mouth is watering thinking of it. But I think Miley’s is alcohol bloat. The rest of her body looks fine but her face does look really puffy.
I watched The Last Song last night. It was an okay movie but I finally understand why everyone makes fun of her mouth. I’ve always thought she was really pretty but not anymore! She makes some of the dumbest looking faces. I wish they hadn’t cast her.
Weight gain? I get that her life is in the public eye and she should be prepared for scrutiny but jeez. If I was 18 years old and read stupid stories about me gaining weight when I looked this good I’d be so hurt. Ridiculous. Miley’s figure is absolutely fine. I’m sure she fluctuates and obviously she has a more feminine figure than she did as a child but this girl is a ‘role model’ to lots of young girls and I think it’s irresponsible for them to have to read that she’s ‘gained weight’. Those boots are tragic though.
She’s put on quite a bit of weight.
Coke bloat.
Another 2 bit barely talented young thing whose parents pushed her into the limelight, are terrible as far as parenting a young child, then blame it all on Disney instead of taking full responsibility as they should.
I guarantee you Miley isnt singing same tune as her dad because without Disney she would not be rich & famnous and i think even she realizes this.
Disney opened thousands of doors for Miley & the entire family.
Dont bite the hand that feeds you Billy.
Miley is by no means fat. She is a bigger girl/athletic build and always has been except when she was starving herself which no girl should ever feel pressured to do.
She may have fame & money but she doesnt have the most stable parenting and is only 18. She has insecurities like everyone else so im sure when she hears/reads that she is fat when she certainly isnt it sucks for her.
Ok, shoot me: I think she has a pretty face.
If that tail is real, it makes me want to cry. I hate that kind of stuff.
okay. that’s it. what the fuck is this woodland creature tail trend? what does it mean? do they not realize it looks stupid?
See those rings/lines around her neck? I have those. What is that about?
Her face shape is round! So it’s normal for her to have “puffy” cheeks. I’ve never been a fan of her face, though. I don’t think she’s that pretty or talented either.
Even though I don’t like her as a person I gotta admit that her body is stunning! When i saw the Grammy pics I saw she gain some weight, but she still looked great, she’s lucky she’s tall because weight gaining is not very noticeable. Now I don’t see that weight gain anymore. Maybe she was on her period. I’m always bloated and puffy when I’m on my period.
Yeah anyway she’s just 18 I don’t think she should worry about weight..
@Serena – “what is that friggin tail hangin’ down Miley’s bag? It’s horrible, and I hope it’s fake.”
I can’t speak as to where Miley got her fox tail, but there are other methods of obtaining them that don’t involve cruelty.
Someone I know receives taxidermy materials & fur she purchases from the National Parks all over the US. They collect animals that were killed on roads or from natural causes, sell the materials, then all the money actually goes toward preventing poaching & maintaining the environment. (This is also how a lot of native american artists I’ve spoken to obtain their natural materials).
Another she uses is to go to antique stores & buy (very)old fur coats/rugs, which she then salvages fur from for use in projects, or accessories like the fox tails.
I have a few fox tails from her myself, so just wanted to clarify that not all tails are obtained with cruelty.(Hunting/trapping/farming).
—
As to ‘weight gain’, it just looks like her jawline/chin is less defined, which can really make someone appear heavier than they are. She’s certainly not overweight, it does look like it’s mostly her face that’s puffy.
Where there‘s life there‘s hope.
