Miley Cyrus covers the September issue of Marie Claire Magazine. Which is weird, right? I wouldn’t think Miley would be a big enough “get” for the September issue, but maybe MC and Miley made a deal where it would be her first big exclusive interview about her engagement. Because that’s pretty much all she’s talking about in the interview. As for the photo shoot – pretty. She looks great. I love the colors the magazine put her in. Some highlights from the interview:
What Miley thinks of her critics who claim she’s too young for an engagement: “Life is too short not to be with the person you want to be with. I don’t really care about the wedding or the piece of paper as much as I do the promise we’ve made to each other. And we want to have a long engagement.”
On her hand-cut diamond from the 1880s: “I had no input. We’d been kind of talking about [getting engaged], and I saw something like it online at one point and thought it was really pretty, but I usually wear rose gold. I just love that it’s old and has a story. And I’m happy because it doesn’t look like anything else I wear.”
On jealousy: “Liam and I have a really good relationship. Neither of us is super-jealous. We know each other and would never do anything to hurt each other.”
She sounds… happy. Content. Chilled out. As I’ve said before, I would LOVE her life – 19 years old, all the time in the world to work out and eat healthy, lots of money and a hot fiancé. It feels like she actually appreciates all she has too, which is nice. I swear, I’m NOT worried about her. I think she’s just fine.
By the way, I don’t want to cover the “controversy” over Miley’s weight or her habit of tweeting photos of her abs. Do I think her diet is extreme? Yes. Do I think she works out too much? Yes. But I actually think she’s eating food. And I think she’s lost weight the old fashion way – through (extreme) diet and exercise. Anyway, if you want to read some negative stuff about it, go here.

I’m sorry …I just don’t find her attractive at all..her voice terrifies me and what’s goin on with her neck ,shoulders , teeth ..*blech*
Ugh That Lot Lizard Voice, Thanks for the reminder
This!!! Says it all!
LOL!!! @LOT LIZARD, couldn’t put it better myself. Miley: I don’t care what an engaged lot-lizard-chipmunk cross thinks, go turn into road kill, bish!
Sorry having a tougb Monday.
I agree. She looks so squirrely/chipmunky in these photos. She is NOT cute or pretty IMO. Awful photos.
Nope, Still wanna Punch her mouth
But is a nice editorial, although, why?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! you’re crazy & i love it! 😆
Lol, Am I lying though?
Miley sells magazines. Everyone keeps talking about her not doing anything, but she’s been working all summer on a new album, and her tour last yr had every date sold out, making her 26 shows netting approx 2 mil, each. I wish 12 weeks of my life pulled in 52 mil! She also works with TWELVE charities, it would be nice if she got publicity for that, but everyone wants her to be the new Lindsay or Britney or Amanda, and she just doesn’t seem like she’s co-operating.
Thanks for the facts Billy Ray 😉
LOL…you crack me up!
Lmao Too funny! 😀 oh lil Billy
BWAHAHAHA! tee-hee 😆
Good one! Maybe she should be spending a little more time Tweeting about these supposed charities as opposed to drawing everyone’s attention to how proud she is of her diminishing frame (while posing braless, *blech*). She has no one to blame but herself for the fact that many of us see her as a vapid, narcissistic hick.
You are welcome, Selena Gomez! No, not a Cyrus, don’t have good enough hair or 900 tats. Just think she gets the shaft all the time, and the other side of the good stuff and hard work she’s done gets ignored. Can’t imagine being 12 and hundreds of people’s job and livelihood resting on my shoulders, and working 18 hr days. Have a cousin who worked on production for the Mouse House, its a wonder all those kids are junkies and in deep therapy. Its grueling.
She seems to be doing well…now don’t blow it, Miley!
I like Miley, and her fiance is super hot. I’ve taken an oath not to speak negatively about other women because seriously, girls are raised to hate other girls/women, it’s all jealousy and for what? It’s not necessary. So yes, Miley is gorg.
+1-I’m trying to avoid all body snarking, face snarking, and general negative commentary. I want everyone to be happy and health-some people I just want to be happy and healthy far, far away from me.
Flat out bitchiness is still a candidate for being called out. However, Miley doesn’t give off that vibe.
I would kiiiiiill for a body like hers!
She’s living the life, good for you, Miley!
It must be nice to be rich and famous and just choose to chill out and work on your body, follow around your fiance.
These pics are pretty decent.
As far as her weight-she’s 19 and has the body of a 19-year-old that works out. /shrugs
She doesn’t look anorexic to me, but the twit pics of herself are pretty embarassing nonetheless.
I think she looks a bit thin recently. Don’t know if it’s still healthy.
Her twitpics are totally embarrassing, I don’t know why she has to do that!
But good for her that she wants to wait with her wedding.
“Liam and I have a really good relationship. Neither of us is super-jealous. We know each other and would never do anything to hurt each other.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah out of the mouth of babes…and IF she has a long engagement,it will probably add up to more time then her celeb marriage will last.
Word. Aaah, children.
She probably means it, but also Miley really LOOOOVES the attention. That was the main goal of engagement and weight loss and no-bra pics and out-of-the-gym pics… My guess is she would have married him on the way to the chapel if she could have, but the boy and her handlers hit the brakes a bit.
And besides, here’s how it goes now: “We want to have a long engagement!”
Few days later: “Ooops… I’m pregnant, y’all! Check out mah wedding ring!”
I can’t be sure, but what I’m seeing and hearing about Miley sounds a lot like exercise anorexia. I’ve struggled with it for quite some time and only recently let up on my “obsession.” I’m putting on weight and was feeling okay about myself until my dad told me I was getting fat. My mom keeps telling me that you can’t be fat at a size 4, but he insists I’m “chunking up,” and my female boss (who just recently lost a lot of weight) has commented on my weight gain too. Now I understand my initial obsession with my weight. It seems people are getting a lot of satisfaction out of seeing me “get fat.” I saw this with Miley too. About a year ago she had put on some weight, and I think the “fat” comments took their toll (to the point where she’s now obsessed with being as thin as possible). Maybe I’m projecting here, but I think I’m on the right track. The problem with this particular eating disorder is that people don’t see it as a disorder because you aren’t throwing up (just eating healthy and exercising). However, I can tell you that this lifestyle is nothing to envy. You spend hours on end exercising (for me 4-6 hours daily) and obsessing over calorie consumption. Exercise and my weight were all I could think about. I understand this sounds very shallow, which is why I’m somewhat ashamed to admit it, but I keep hearing people mention how great she looks and how much they “envy” her body and lifestyle (when there’s nothing enviable about it AT ALL). I happen to think she’s in a very sad place.
Mort…YIKES. I will say this, people with round faces like Miley’s get pegged with the “chunky” title even if they have nice toned and healthy weight bodies. So we all know that by diet or exercise, isn’t going to change the shape of your face so it becomes an obsession then a disorder sadly 🙁
@ Mort-I hear ya. Went through a very similar experience and made myself very, VERY ill over the course of 4 years. I too was teased by my father about being chubby as a kid and I also have a round/heart-shaped face (as Chat mentioned) that tends to get bloat-y if I put on weight.
I exercise obsessively EVERY SINGLE day (even if I’m sick).
For me, it is all about control-if I feel anxious or anxiety about some other aspect of my life that I cannot control, it manifests itself in the control of my appearance through calorie restriction/over exercising. I think a lot of women suffer from this-orthorexia nervosa, cumpulsive overexercising etc.
I’m not sure if this is what Miley suffers from or not. To me, it seems like she’s someone who never paid much attention to diet or exercise and suddenly discovered it. We’ll see if she keeps losing or if her weight stabilizes over the coming years…
Anyway, Mort-sorry to hear about your troubles-I know exactly what you went through.
Thanks for sharing your story, Mort, and God bless you as you recover. Whatever you do, ignore the silly comments about your weight gain! Regaining health and peace of mind about your body is all that matters, and I am sure you will look beautiful, no matter what size you are.
I really appreciate the support ladies.
@RTR, thanks so much. I’m trying my best to tune out the negativity and I appreciate your kind words.
@kitten, I felt a little better about sharing because I read about your struggles a while back. It’s definitely all about control. When you feel as though you can’t get a handle on anything else in your life, there’s always exercise and restriction (and the “praise” that comes with it). Oftentimes, I feel lucky that I have boys. As much as I would love to have a little girl, I’d be terrified to pass on my disordered eating to her. I know boys/men can suffer from it too, but the instances are much lower.
@chat, that’s very true. I also feel like those faces hide drastic weight loss much more easily. I have an oval face, but gain and lose first in the face. One upside of the weight gain is that people are guessing that I’m much younger. Now I’m getting 25! Woo hoo 🙂
Mort…I have a round face, and even as my weight fluctuates, it is the obvious first place on the gain and the last place on the loss to show. 🙁
I too am a “boy” Mom (three of them). Girls have it much tougher in society, but even I’ve had to have some intervention with my boys, who are all athletes (so far 2 of the 3 played collegiate soccer)…and the youngest who is a gym rat.
Hang in there, find YOUR comfy weight/excerise zone and love YOUR life~
Ah, Mort, I went through that in high school, especially the summer after my frosh year. It was crazy. The positive feedback from people when I was losing weight (when I wasn’t “fat” in the first place) was addictive.
Don’t listen to those who glory in your weight-gain.
(Can you re-e-mail me at the non-Jezi address? I have been looking and looking, but I can’t find it.) 🙁
@chat, now that you mention it, I do know of quite a few boys (particularly wrestlers) who are always exercising and trying to make weight for their sport. The media and magazines may not be putting the pressure on them to be thin, but they do feel the pressure to have the “ideal athletic build” when they’re participating in sports at a certain level. You must be so proud of them and their accomplishments!
@bells, it started for me in highschool too. I was a swimmer and always very lean, but at 32 (after 2 kids) I’m not what I used to be and I’d rather spend the time with my kids than exercising obsessively so my father and friends can tell me how skinny I look. My boys will love me regarless of how much I weigh. Anyway, I never got your email, but i did leave my number in your Jezebel inbox awhile back. Now that the commenting system has changed I can’t inbox you. Madisyn has my email and you can let her know that I asked her to give it to you. Otherwise, I’m not sure how to get it to you without publicizing it : /
I dang ain’t having no babies yet.. He’s gonna cheat on me.. I need to weigh my options.. he might get more famous than me and all that.. It’s just bothersome to worry over..
I think she is a funny actress. My kids use to watch her show and she always made me laugh out loud. She is right life is short so live in the moment and screw the haters.
Wait, she’s on Marie Claire to promote her engagement?! Lol. It must suck to actually be talented in Hollywood and have to sit back and not get any attention because you don’t have a famous parent to get you your own show. No one on here can convince me that she is actually talented in any way shape or form. I like the pictures though, her body is great but can someone please tell her to stop doing that with her lips in every photo? So annoying and unattractive.
What’s the point of having a ‘long engagement’ at 19 lol? To break up at 21? They won’t get married. And if they do it won’t last.
Also, I feel the same way about Liam that I do about Chris Pine….I can see how people find them attractive but there is something about their faces that freak me out. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s weird. His acting in the Hunger Games was terrible and I will never forgive him for ruining Gale, gahhhh.
Yawn! Miley needs to be relegated to the pages of Teen or Tiger Beat. She has a great life boffing and exercising, we get it! No need for another three “stories” on the same thing.
You think she’s ok? I thinks he’s an attention whore. she’s clearly scared liam will become more famous than her so she tweets daily and calls the paps to follow her to pilates. she’s not on tv or films or released music recently so she needs another way to get attention: so she loses tons of weight. get a life miley. get an education.
I agree. Go to school, learn something.
If she is going to be scared of anything it should be if Liam gets signed on to a movie to work with Hollywood Homewrecker 2012 – KLewd, who will have now, and forever, be able to claim to have been “the other woman”.
Sign on hoya chick and original denise; WHy is she on a fashion mag when she isn’t fashionable in any sense, how much did her management team pay Marie Claire for this cover; and I have to question whether she or other celebutards really sell magazines, anyway, she can’t sing live, has a horrible voice, proves that there’s no accounting for taste, Hasn’t she made enough money from the endless licensing of Hannah montana – and yes Meg she should get an education, but that will never happen; why get an edjamacation when you can still make millions off tone deaf tweeners?
And please for the love of GOd can we drop the epithet “haters” most posters on this site and others aren’t 10 years old, They are stating their opinions albeit in abbreviated form, respond to their comments but not by using the moronic catch-all “haters.”
I think a lot of these young Hollywood couples are fine with the long engagement things because they know that a marriage will not last. Successful marraiges in Hollywood are even less than the minority. So you have a bunch of attractive young people, with ungodly amounts of money and free time, who are able to live their lives free of the burdens of the real world… Putting an engagement ring on it is a way to seem committed without actually being committed. I know just the feeling and visual image of having some bling on the ring finger gives this illusion of committment to one another, but I don’t think it really means that much to most of them. That’s why so many engagements fall apart, and, if they ever do result in marriages, the subsequent marriage falls apart as well.
It is easy to buy an engagement ring and play house with someone when you have a lot of money and a lot of time. Plus if they are only engaged and not married, there is no real pressure. They can get out of it if they want to. Best of both worlds.
Not sure if that makes sense… it makes sense in my head but I’m having trouble translating it into writing. Monday, I guess.
poor mouth-breather -_-
I feel very confident in speaking on behalf of the other ladies when I say we are NOT jealous. We are stating our thoughts and opinions. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean we are jelly. Lol. I for one am not. Her prepackaged Disney career is over and if she really had any discernible talents she wouldn’t have to hitch a ride with someone on his way up in the business, while tweeting and going to Pilates everyday. There’s more to life and I am very content in mine and do not begrudge hers.
+1000000000000000000000.
Wow, I had no idea people felt so strongly about this chicky.
Ive never seen her in anything or heard her speak or know anything about her REALLY but the vibe I get from her is that she has her head screwed on properly, is down to earth and pretty sensible. And considering she’s grown up with a famous dad, I reckon she’s doing ok. What do you expect her to do? Open a cafe, get a job at Macca’s, go to uni?
Look at Lohan at the same age – she was out clubbing every night and leaving a trail of carnage behind her.
I totally think that her and Liam hang out at home, smoke a spliff, eat some yummy brown rice and poached salmon with wilted greens, watch telly and go to bed and have really, really hot sex.
And whats wrong with that, I ask ya? Well, hell, I WISH I WAS DOING THAT EVERY NIGHT! ; )
Leave Miley alone. I reckon she’s a good girl.
I HATE her face. I always wonder how such a handsome guy like Liam with such a butter face. I don’t mean to be mean, but really?
It’s her lips and nose combination. She is trying not to do that pouty mouth thing she does. When people squint their eyes and squish their lips together like a kiss but the lips are wide and flattened instead of round and puckered. I don’t know why they didn’t take pictures at the trailer park.
why are her lips permanently in the pout position?, its super unattractive and not at all sexy. she should try smiling.
She’s grown up to be beautiful
