Are Miley Cyrus’ antics a plan to get out of her Disney contract?


Over the last few months, barely a day goes by without new, inappropriate candid photos of teen star Miley Cyrus leaking on the Internet. Miley making out with a boy. Miley in the shower posing in a wet T-shirt. Miley and a friend making a video making fun of two other Disney proteges. The big question is, why in the world would Disney’s darling act out so inappropriately when her entire career as America’s Sweetheart is at stake? Well, a recent story at E! Online may hold the answer. Miley herself told E! News’ Marc Malkin that she thought this was the final season of the top-rated Hannah Montana TV show. When Malkin reported this, Disney was quick to respond, saying that not only is Cyrus shooting a Hannah Montana movie at present, she’s also shooting the third season of the TV show and has signed on for a fourth.

Miley Cyrus may be getting ready to say goodbye to Hannah Montana. Or at least she’s thinking about it.

The 15-year-old superstar feels the time may be right for her hit Disney Channel series to come to an end.

“We’re thinking this is our last season,” Cyrus tells me.

Update: Just heard back from a Disney rep regarding Miley Cyrus and talk about the end of Hannah Montana.

“Miley said it best when she said she’s delighted to be part of the Disney family,” the rep wrote in an email. “We start production on the third season of Hannah Montana on August 4 and have an option for a fourth season beyond that. We look forward to the Hannah Montana feature film coming to a theatre near you in Spring 2009.”

Could it be that Miley wants out of her Disney contract, just like Hillary Duff before her? Of course, when Hillary Duff wanted out of her contract for the hit show Lizzie McGuire, she just smiled and played along, waiting patiently for it to run out, and then didn’t renew. Miley, 15, doesn’t seem to want to wait that long. Perhaps all these antics have a purpose- to piss off Disney enough that they’ll fire her. We’ll have to wait and see.

    I am so tired of her and her behavior. Yes, teenagers act out and rebel against their parents better judgement. But enough already. Inappropriate pictures, videos, ect…where are her parents??? She looks to be the upcoming new generation of rehab seekers if she doesn’t tone it down

  2. G. says:

    Ugh, I personally want her fired, so then I don’t have to protect my younger siblings from her whore-ish-ness.

  3. Enonymous says:

    If this is true then what kind of prospect does Miley Cyrus might have after Hannah Montana finishes. It seems that she is so much related with her character that it would be very difficult for her to separate herself from the show and establish her self as an actress or singer. I think she should be patient and in the mean time try and explore more projects outside the Hannah Montana series, so she has other things to full back on if and when it ends.

  4. candyass says:

    You know I can understand that she would want to move on with her career, but this is not the way to do it. She is making herself look like a slut and she is only famous for being a teeny bopper role model, so really this just shows her immaturity.

  5. OXA says:

    I do not care as long as she just goes away, i am sick of seeing her and her slutty antics.

  6. Cinderella says:

    They should just cut her loose. She is harming her own brand. She’s too immature to understand that she is shooting herself in the foot. Her parents are too stupid to understand they are not raising a future Academy Award winner.

  7. Kaiser says:

    Ah, career planning from The Katie Hiegl School of Biting The Hand That Feeds You. Well played, Miley. You moron.

  8. vdantev says:

    World at her fingertips at 15; has-been at 17.

    She’s better off riding it out with Disney as long as she can. They are already grooming her replacement, it’s either that girl from ICarly or that other one Wizards of Waverly place (who might be the same girl for all I know). Hispanic enough to give international flavor to the Disney brand, but not enough to freak out or threaten any border-conscious parentals.

  9. jessiee says:

    Amen, Kaiser.

  10. Julia says:

    I find this girl teeth-grittingly annoying in both her personas, the cutesy virginal teen and the skank biscuit.

    Also, I don’t buy the virgin bullshit. You don’t take photos of yourself nude and/or in various states of undress for good clean fun. You take them to show to people as a reminder/preview of what they have seen/will see. So….pardon me if I laugh quietly into my coffee at her claims that she is as pure as the freshest snow. Not that there is really anything wrong with girls and women taking charge of their sex lives, but come on, at least don’t push the “wait until you’re married” bullshit and then send your much older and sexually mature boyfriend pics of your boobies.

  11. vdantev says:

    Then again Julia, you aren’t 15 in the internet age of instant notoriety and instant media. Look through youtube at what our girls are posting for the whole world to see, with no concept of the lasting repercussions.

  12. SolitaryAngel says:

    As usual, Kaiser, your comment is both funny and apropos; what I find strange is that Billy Ray hasn’t weighed in on all these inappropriate photos–or am I missing something? He is supposedly so protective of Miley, but if he’s staying silent, he may agree with her plan to “break free” of Disney.

    I can see several reasons why she might think she needs to quit the Hannah Montana character; she may be afraid that she’ll be forever (forever, to a 15-yr old, is a lot longer than an adult’s understanding of same)typecast, or that the character is holding her back from her career as a singer. My feeling is, a job in hand is worth a career in the bush!

    I saw her sing on the Today show, and she remarked that she was very excited that all those people had shown up just for her, with no show backing her up. The Today show said that, for the first time in their history, they had to actually close off surrounding streets–there were that many fans.

    I wasn’t very impressed by her voice.

    I’m so confused right now. Part of me is going … Shes the next Avril! A poser “punk” teenybopper or that Shes the Next Britney/Paris/Nicole….Substance abuse, blah blah…

    I give it 2 years, 3 at the max

  14. Kaiser says:

    Thanx for the compliments, Solitary & JessieE. I think that when her time comes, Miley is going to be a bigger trainwreck than Lohan & Spears combined.

    And I’m with you, Julia. I wish that both Miley & the media would stop with the fetishizing of female virginity. It’s sick and perverted – especially because so many of the entertainment journalists who are covering Miley are middle-aged men. They’re setting up for another Britney Spears-type fall.

  15. Cassie says:

    You’ve SO hit the nail on the head, Kaiser. Every time I hear about all this ‘purity pledge’ nonsense it just smacks of some type of weird sexual fetish to me as well. I know how extreme that might sound to some people so let me explain.

    Most of these people pledging to stay virgins until they’re married are usually religious types, and as we all know, most mainstream religions (Catholicism, Islam), take a very involved stance on homosexuality and other sexual behaviors. Which creeps me out, because why on earth do they want to get involved on what goes on in people’s bedrooms for? It’s just so foreign to me. They get all involved, like saying masturbation and oral sex and other things like that are wrong as well (but I don’t think most people really follow those rules since the prevailing mindset seems to be that those things ‘don’t count.’)

    It’s the same for same-sex marriages and abortions and birth control for me; every time I hear something about someone picketing a Planned Parenthood or trying to force through a bill keeping marriage between a man and a woman I just get so pissed off. If you don’t like abortions or gay marriages, then don’t get them, it’s as simple as that. If you don’t think you should have sex before marriage, don’t have it. But there’s no need to force your views on other people, and all everyone keeps talking about is how Miley Cyrus wants to stay a virgin so she can be a good role model.

    Firstly, I’d think this would not need to be said, but stay out of Miley Cyrus’ vagina, for God’s sake, she is just fifteen. Maybe she’s having sex, maybe she isn’t but the bottom line is, teenagers aren’t avoiding sex, all because Miley Cyrus says to. A few might, but largely that advice is ignored; the number of teen pregnancies and STDs vouch for that fact. How about a role model who tells these sexually active teens to wear condoms and use birth control to be safe? THAT would be someone to look up to, but apparently such an idea is too extreme to even be considered.

  16. Enonymous says:

    I agree Kaiser and the others. These young teens are aimed as much to adults (men) as they are to kids. Like Britney Spears when she first started, these young girls are just secret guilty pleasures for the middle-aged men of the world. Which is sad because like any other teenagers, these girls are starting to get more sexual but they are unaware that the media and these entertainment companies like Disney are using them and exploiting that fact to create more profit for themselves. After all, is not most men’s sexual fantasy to claim and conquer a young virgin. EWW, that last part just sounded wrong for some reason.

  17. Syko says:

    Cassie, I could not agree more.

  18. Kaiser says:

    Agreed, Cassie. The “purity pledge” not only fetishizes female virginity (never male), but these young girls are treated like their fathers’ property. Blech.

    Look, I know Miley is young, ambitious and not very bright. Much like Britney when she started out. Miley’s going to mouth off and be a little bitch, and a Mean Girl, a Heather, a Queen Bee or whatever the kidz are calling it these days. I put more of the blame on the media, who are enabling her idiotic status as a cultural phenom with something important to say. Because very, very, very few 15-year-old girls have ANYTHING important to say. So just give her space and let her be a kid.

  19. elisha says:

    Whatever happened to Hillary Duff anyway. I’m half-joking. But seriously, her career doesn’t seem as promising as it once did.

  20. A.J. says:

    I wish Miley would get fired/disappear for the simple fact that the world would not be subjected to her mulleted, one-hit-wonder father anymore. You had your fifteen minutes, Billy Ray. Please go away, and take your precious little harlot with you.

  21. jennifer says:

    Cassie: stay out of Miley Cyrus’ vagina, for God’s sake

    OH MY GOD I ALMOST CHOKED WHEN I READ THAT 😆 😆 😆 😆

    I totally agree with your point, BTW. Just had to say that I ALSO almost DIED bcs of your point… 😆 😛

  22. SixxKitty says:

    Cassie.. you said it! So why do we like to keep our teenagers in the dark and up the duff like Jamie Lynn?

  23. heaven says:

    it is very possible that she is only doing this so that she can get out of the contract. but the funny thing is, she may be popular, but she isn’t ready to spread her wings and fly out of the nest. hannah montana is the source of her fans. if she drops the contract, she is screwed.

  24. adela says:

    i love miley cyrus. why is she tryin to piss off her fans by doin all this stuff. miss i like takin racy pics and i want to get a chin job and after i get out of disney i am goin to piss my fans off more by not following my promise ring and go out and get pregnant.
    i dont want to say anything mean about her but she is really ruining her future and making her fans think she is a slut and is tryin to turn into britney spears. i like britney also

  25. Robin says:

    The only reason why she is famous is her father. She is not the next Avril Lavigne, because Avril can sing and she can ´t. Even Britney Spears, Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, who also can ´t sing, are better than her.
