Miley Cyrus covers the October issue of Elle. You know why? Mostly because she’s one of the new judges on The Voice. She also talks about the miniseries event with Amazon, where she was directed by Woody Allen. I don’t really know what to say about Miley at this point? She’s still with Liam Hemsworth, and she even mentions him in this interview. I don’t know if they’ll get married, but I do know that Miley seems to be making an effort to chill out and calm down for Liam. I think if he breaks up with her again, she’ll probably be twirling her tongue in our faces non-stop again, but who knows? As for this Elle interview… she gives me a headache.
She’ll advise her contestants on The Voice to “Be Bernie Sanders”: “…I don’t want this to come off the wrong way, but I’m going to tell my contestants: Be Bernie Sanders. Be the person people want and love. Don’t worry about the masses. That’s how you make a memorable moment. Let people talk about it.”
Her role in Woody Allen’s new Amazon series, Crisis in Six Scenes: “I’m playing this ’60s revolutionary. Woody plays someone who grew up in the suburbs of New York. He’s got an ice cream machine, and I’m like, People are starving and you’re sitting here making ice cream?! That’s my thing [in real life]. For a long time, I couldn’t sleep because I just felt so guilty. I was covered in rashes because I was so stressed. Even today, I dropped my water on my hike and felt like such an a–hole. There are children being sold into sex slavery; how can I go on a hike right now? So now I try to do as much as I can through Happy Hippie.”
She’ll never do a red carpet again: “[A year ago] I had to do the [A Very Murray Christmas] premiere, and I will never do a red carpet again. Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that’s red? Because I’m “important”? Because I’m “famous”? That’s not how I roll. It’s like a skit—it’s like Zoolander.”
Snapchat & Pokémon Go: Is she on Snapchat, ELLE asked? “No. I want to be. I don’t know how to use it. I feel like I’ll be an old lady that’s too held back, because I don’t keep up with it. I’m not on Pokémon Go. [This morning] Liam woke up and tried to go to the car wash because it was a—what do you call it?—PokéSpot. Like, “Got to go find them and catch them all! Ahh!”…
This is something I don’t understand about celebrities – “I couldn’t sleep because I just felt so guilty. I was covered in rashes because I was so stressed.” Then do something else? It’s not that hard. If you care so much, if you care to the point where you’re getting stress rashes, then go volunteer as an aid worker or devote your time to a charity for homeless people. Or is not really about that, because you just want to be seen as being so virtuous and above it all? You won’t walk a red carpet because “people are starving,” but you’ll appear on the cover of Elle WHILE PEOPLE ARE STARVING? See how that works? You can say that about anything, but at some point it just becomes your “I’m so virtuous” platitude. How can you eat breakfast when people are starving? How can you drive to work when people are starving? How can you work with Woody Allen when people are starving? How can you own 20 dogs when people are starving?
And how can she tell contestants to be super-likable and Bernie Sanders-esque when people are starving?

“Be someone people want and love. Don’t worry about the masses.” IS THIS NOT CONTRADICTORY?!?!
Yes, yes it is. “Be someone else so that everyone loves you, but don’t worry about what everyone thinks.” These pseudo-intellectual celebs are so annoying.
It’s so obvious. Hence the all caps frustration. What should have been said/what she meant is, “Don’t worry about pleasing others. Be true to yourself. People naturally gravitate to authenticity.”
@tegteg Emphasis on the “pseudo.” I don’t think Miley’s got much book-larnin’ or schoolin’.
Seriously. She gives weed-smokers a bad name, man.
Gary Johnson.
Right Kitten?! Puff, puff, go back to school, lol.
LMAO.
I might be giving her too much credit, but I interpreted it as “Be strong and courageous. Be yourself and be excellent and people will love and admire you. If you try in a calculated way to appeal to everyone you end up being bland.”
Yeah, as I posted above, I know that’s what she “meant” but that is in no way, what actually she said.
This is what too much ganja does to the developing brain.
I am so glad you posted that so I don’t have to!
Or be yourself?? Otherwise you’ll end up dressing like a clown stripper riding a giant hot dog yelling, “YEEHAW!” in a wasted effort to gain attention and please others.
LMFAO!
Thank you, TEGTEG! Exactly what I thought. This is the worst advice in the world and shows us how screwed up she is. I’d much rather hear from a tree.
Yas! And hahaha.
LOL perfect.
Liam plays Pokemon Go. And I like both those white shirts. And people are starving but Miley is doing nothing about it except stressing. That’s all I got.
She started the Happy Hippie foundation, right? So, I think that’s what she was saying. She was super stressed until she got involved.
Something nice: I love her ring, I think its one of the nicest celebrity rings
She’s gonna walk a red carpet in no time. And make a big deal out of it. And be the same hypocritical lame ass she
…always was 🙂
Dear Miley, quit getting high before interviews. You sound like, totally dumb and stuff.
I will say this, at least she doesn’t constantly look like she is need of a good shower these days.
Hey now, let’s leave marijuana out of this. This is all Miley.
This made me laugh 😀
HAHAHA!! Fair enough. 🙂
I’ve written essays on International Law while high and gotten perfect grades for them. If Miley’s an idiot it’s her fault.
Ok, but her next breath was to say she IS doing something about it, by volunteering more for her foundation. I know Miley rubs people the wrong way, and she’s pretty in your face, but she does do good. She does try to help those who have weaker voices. I don’t know, I don’t mind her!
Thank you. I know she has many faults, but I do admire her for speaking up. I didn’t know she started her own foundation. Good for her. As annoying as I find her and as many times as I roll my eyes when she speaks, I do believe she really wants to help people and I won’t fault her for that.
What has she done with the foundation? There are all kinds. Just because you create one, doesn’t mean that you have invested money or time or energy to a cause. Fundraising is only one aspect. The harder part is putting the money into action in ways that benefit people. How has her foundation benefited anyone?
If you go to the website for the foundation, there is an “our work” section. All it shows are photos of Miley on red carpets. Fundraisers are fun parties…what do you DO with those funds? Their mission is to “stop pointless judgment”. That seems like a very weak and non-impactful goal that has no ability to be measured.
You didn’t look very hard. Just one small part: “Just this year, Happy Hippie’s support has provided: 14,039 meals, 7,019 snacks, 11,000+ pairs of socks and 11,000+ pairs of underwear to homeless youth. Plus hundreds of creative arts workshops, activities and events, engaging hundreds of young people in the Transformative Education Program.” Also: “As part of Happy Hippie’s commitment to supporting vulnerable populations around the world, we will be funding programs to help address the needs of children, youth and families affected by the conflict in Syria, one of the greatest humanitarian challenges of our time.”
When charities tell you that it only takes a dollar a day to sponsor someone in need I end up feeling guilty if I spend money on anything that isn’t essential. Like if I buy a drink for three bucks my head is like “That’s three people you could be helping.” Can anyone tell me what percentage of your income you need to be giving to charity in order to be guilt free?
A rule of thumb for some is 10%.
I don’t earn enough to live on, but I give a lot of my time and skills. We can all do something.
Maybe because I don’t have a lot of financial resources, I don’t get the guilt thing. That’s just not the point of doing for others- avoiding guilt.
She’s a rather obnoxious, spoiled child, but she’s trying in her way.
But isn’t guilt your conscience telling you to change something?
We give a third of our income to savings, a third to charities and a third to support us. It doesn’t relieve my guilt but my children are small and so my opportunities are limited. I would rather stay with them currently and parent them personally so they turn into productive members of society and then focus my efforts on bringing the worlds disadvantaged to equality.
But should we live a spartan lifestyle living on only essentials, so we can direct the rest of our cash to people in need? It seems self indulgent to spend money on non-essentials when the money could be used to support those truly in need. Isn’t someone eating or getting fresh water more important than our need to: get drunk, go to the movies, eat in a restaurant or buy that extra pair of shoes?
@Soror Bro:
That’s your opinion. Not everyone holds the same opinion as you do. You do what feels right for you. If you want to live a spartan lifestyle and donate the rest of your income to other people, then do that. But not everyone wants that. Not everyone feels same the “guilt” you feel.
your article says it all.
UNBEARABLE STUPIDITY.
This chick is so friggen annoying. How the heck is she a coach on the Voice? Another show I’ll be boycotting!
Well she can’t twerk anymore so she found a job with Woody Allen (because she is young and pretty) and a cushy job on TV.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, Kate Perry, Rihanna, Drake, etc., are still making music. How is it that nobody wonders what happened to Miley Cyrus’ music career?
“Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that’s red? Because I’m “important”? Because I’m “famous”? That’s not how I roll. It’s like a skit—it’s like Zoolander.”
But you’re fine being on the cover of a major magazine………
I don’t think Miley is very smart, more like very desperate and I don’t get why.
How can you spend your time on The Voice while people are starving?
She is full of contradictions but the most dangerous one is ‘full twerking mode, encouraging rebelliousness’ vs. this dialed down version of herself dedicated to Liam. What about everyone that twerked with her and believed her ‘be wild and free’ act?
I am all for people getting back together and happy endings but it is obvious that she made some serious adjustments for this dude. Even this jury gig, a few years back Miley was everywhere, everyone talked about her and now she is on The Voice? Shouldn’t she be way too busy at this point in her career for being on The Voice?
This is what happens when you forgo an education for a Disney career.
Miley skipping the red carpet won’t make any difference for people who are starving. Using her media presence, to talk about how her organisation is trying to help, would.
I also notice that working with Woody Allen is fine with her. No bad feeling there.
Exactly.
I don’t have a problem with her trying to express her thoughts, however contradictory they might be, because I honestly think she wants to do the right thing, but she’s working with a child abuser! No guilt for that? Really?
So…not a peep about Woody Allen huh?
Just keep the good vibes flowing and lets not talk about any molestation accusations? Sigh.
I tried. I’m sure there’s a brain cell knocking around in there but it doesn’t seem worth the effort to try and engage it.
My first thought. “Children are being sold Into sex slavery”. “I’m happily working with a known child molester”
*slow clap*
I know, right? Drives me nuts when celebrities support Allen. For her to comment on children sold into sex slavery in the same breath just shows how desperate and dumb she is.
She’s a young girl. Cut her some flack until she becomes a woman. She’s an idealist, inarticulate but an idealist regardless. And that is to be admired at any age.
She is a woman and NOT a child or a young girl, woman. She has also been racially offensive, and made fun of people with addictions and mental illnesses so no we should not cut her some slack.
She’s not a young girl, only infantilized as one. It’s what White society does to famous cute white women between the ages of 20-30. She uses that infantilization to “shock” that same society by posing naked, pretending to be other cultures and other sexual orientations. It’s a gimmick just like shifty-Swifty’s gimmick is to play into the infantilization.
She’s 23. I wouldn’t call that a “young girl”.
How can she let Liam play PokemonGo while people are starving? How can they drive those big ass fossil-fueled SUVs to Nobu everyday while people are starving? This could go on and on.
How can she be posing in Elle when there are people Starving? tangentially I *love* how this one who was so busy twerking and trying to be down with Mikewillmadeit & co. and parading black women and such has had NOTHING to say the past few Months, nay YEARS on the matter of Police snuffing people in the culture she was so kin to aping only a short while ago..l guess all the Starving people and Terri Richardson take up time and stuff
Really!
Where was all this compassion when she was being racially offensive, and making fun of people with addictions and mental illnesses.
a MILLION applause for this! Miss Cultural Appropriation happily drops the culture she’s appropriatin’ when sh!t gets real
yup, she went “white girl at Burning Man ” ASAP! ( see also a ; Bieber, Justin)
Such a good point!
Sounds like she is trying to find herself.
Maybe she could make a version of Pokemon Go but with her and call it Twerkemon Grow Up.
I do like her clothes choices here. And the ring.
Woody and Terry were probably raping teenage aspiring models with broken English while you were walking red carpeta, too. And they were likely starving as well.
I know how she feels, some days I don’t think I can even get out of bed BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STARVING!
I want to like her. I try to like and feel like her heart is mostly in the right place but good gorram she is so fricking exhausting.
Same. She doesn’t seem like a bad person, just uneducated and annoying.
Going hiking or on the red carpet when people are starving – Totally bad.
Working with an alleged child molester and an alleged rapist when children are being sold into sex slavery – totally fine.
Um….
