Miley Cyrus is still on her media tour! Last night it was David Letterman, and this morning is was Good Morning America. Since I’m having a bad really bad day and I don’t give a sh-t, I’m just going to try to find some of the better quotes from her Letterman interview – from what I could see, she didn’t really say anything groundbreaking. Let’s see – when asked about how she was growing up too fast, Miley said: “I’ve gone through awesome things and I’ve gotten to perform and do what I love. I don’t think I’ve missed out on anything, but it’s hard with the comments and growing up. You can YouTube me, because half the comments are like, ‘She sounds like crap!’ I’m like, ‘At least I’m singing live, so take that!’” Fascinating, right? Snore.

Oh, but Miley did get Letterman to laugh. He was telling her that her career is “the kind of thing that’s so hard, maybe only a 17-year-old could do it really. You gotta have that energy.” Miley replied: “But you did it — see there’s just a handful of people, and you’re one of them. The only two 17-year-old girls that made it, me and you.” Here’s a clip:

Meanwhile, Miley was more subdued and serious for her Good Morning America appearance. They got her to talk about Perez Hilton and the Photoshopped vadge, and Miley was… not really upset by it, it seems. She just says, “There are people that are negative just to be that way. You’ve got to push through all that and just be like ‘This is my life.‘ ” What?

With her longtime hit show Hannah Montana coming to an end, Miley Cyrus is ready to let her own personality take center stage. And that includes a racy music video that’s stirred up a bit of controversy for the 17-year-old.

“You have to be who you are to the full,” Cyrus said during a Good Morning America interview Friday, dressed in a studded leather jacket, David Bowie T-shirt and ripped black jeans. “There’s nothing that I’m holding back. And that’s what I want to give to my girl fans. Just be who you are.”

In fact, Cyrus claims that her newest album Can’t Be Tamed showcases the real Miley Cyrus. “This record is the first album where it’s completely me,” she says.

In a career that puts her right in the spotlight, Cyrus admits that growing up as a celebrity isn’t always easy. “It’s always going to be hard because there’s so much stuff you’ve got to get through before you an get to the stuff that’s real,” she says. “There’s all the people that are like, ‘Yes! It’s gonna be great! You’re the biggest thing ever!’ when really, I just want the truth. ”

Alluding to the Perez Hilton paparazzi photo scandal, Cyrus says, “There are people that are negative just to be that way. You’ve got to push through all that and just be like ‘This is my life.’ ”

Of course, with a life that includes being friends with Bret Michaels, things aren’t all bad. Two the performed together on Good Morning America, singing a duet of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” which appears on Cyrus’s new album as a dedication to her mom, Leticia “Tish” Cyrus. “Our families have been friends for a while,” says Michaels. “She’s a great musician and she’s one of those people who will make that huge transition into remaining a superstar. She can rock it for sure.”

And it seems Michaels was a big musical influence on Cyrus as a child. “My first concert was a Poison concert,” she says. “That was an interesting night. I was probably about 8 and my mom dragged me and my brother.”

Sounds like Miley isn’t too mad, I guess. Good for her? Sure. I have mixed feelings because I think the whole Miley-is-a-victim-of-Perez thing just gave her a mountain of publicity, most of which probably benefited her greatly. Still, it was a scrummy thing for Perez to do, and I was seriously expecting Miley, Billy Ray and Tish (and Noah!) to all have multiple interviews bashing Perez, and that didn’t happen. Maturity? Class? Dignity? In the Cyrus family?!?
