She's already celebrated it with a party and a kiss, but Miley Cyrus officially turns 18 today.
The singer/actress first rose to prominence in 2006 as the star of Hannah Montana. Since then, she's literally grown up in front of the world's eyes, receiving criticism over the last few months for making such blatant attempts to prove her maturity that she rarely wore pants on stage.
But Miley's fans have been pointing to this date all along, awaiting the time they can say Cyrus can legally vote, purchase tobacco and serve in the armed forces... so critics can finally shut the heck up about her supposedly inappropriate ways.
Miley Cyrus did not win any American Music Awards last night.
But the singer did win over the crowd with a rendition of "Love and Forgiveness," a song off the album "Can't Be Tamed." Multiple sources confirm Miley originally planned to cover “Every Rose Has Its Thron” on stage, but made a last-minute switch due to a certain rumor.
Probably the right choice, don't you think? Check out the following video of Cyrus in action.
I have added pics of Miley arriving at the 2010 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theaterin L.A. (starts at 8PM EST) Miley looks absolutely stunning!!! Her dress is gorgeous.
Miley Cyrus Celebrates 18th Birthday with Friends, Family, Cupcakes... and Kisses!
Miley Cyrus celebrated her 18th birthday a couple days early last night.
First, the singer performed "Love and Forgiveness" at the American Music Awards. Then, she rented out Los Angeles nightclub Trousdale and threw herself a party, surrounded by friends (Demi Moore, Rumer Willis, AJ Michalka) and family members (mother Tish).
Cyrus turns 18 tomorrow, but she received the best birthday present of all from rumored boyfriend Avan Jogia around 2 a.m. this morning.
At least let's hope that was Avan Jogia. Late into the party, some guy was spotted kissing Miley's neck. See the photographic evidence of this tongue bath below:
Miley performed a 6 song show for $1.1 Million on November 20th for Microsoft’s Grand Store Opening in Bellevue WA, I have added a few pics to the gallery, and also a video of her singing The Climb. Check out the pics and the video
According to a fan they were not happy with waiting for a long time for such a short show.
From Allie: Miley was supposed to perform from 4-5 and only performed for 20 minutes. I spent 23 hours waiting for Miley for a 20 minute performance. I know a lot of people unhappy at how much they went through for such a short concert.
A Microsoft worker said that since she was cold and fussy they cut it short. She sang 6 songs for $1.1 million. She performed: Can’t Be Tamed, Driveway, Jolene, Robot, Who Owns My Heart & The Climb. I love Miley but this was a bit ridiculous.
Miley Cyrus to Sing 'Forgiveness and Love' at American Music Awards
Two days shy of her 18th birthday, Miley Cyrus has had more than her share of grown-up pressures, most recently thedivorce of her parents.
The singer, whose birthday is Tuesday, intends to show off her more adult side with a rendition of her single "Forgiveness and Love" at the 2010 American Music Awards on Sunday.
Justin Bieber also hopes to make a splash with his new single "Pray," and will be putting on a huge number with a band and some surprise guests.
Bieber, Usher, Lady Antebellum and Eminem are all nominated for multiple awards.
The show will broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
Miley Cyrus will performing a new song at the American Music Awards that she has never performed in public, it’s ‘the right song at the right time of her life,’ reports E! News. Miley on her birthday: ‘For my birthday this year I’m just gonna have everyone that I really love be able to hang out.‘
Sources tell Hollywood Life that Avan Jogia has been spotted out on multiple occasions with the singer, saying the two have been "hanging and getting closer," possibly contributing to the reasons why Miley broke up with Liam Hemsworth for the 29th time a few weeks ago.
Rumored, quasi new couple alert: Avan Jogia and Miley Cyrus.
Jogia appeared on the SyFy series Caprica and is best known for his role on the Nickelodeon show Victorious.
Although an insider says Cyrus "wants to be officially single for her birthday [November 23] and just have fun with whomever she hangs out with," witnesses spotted her and Jogia on at least two separate occasions in October:
They had lunch on the 28th.
They attended a Halloween party together a few days later.
Avan also gave an interview to Tiger Beat about the alleged relationship and said: “We’re hanging out, but I don’t really have to much to say about that."
Fair enough. With Miley's busy schedule - she recently performed in Europe and will return to the States this Sunday for the American Music Awards - it's difficult for anyone to lock her down these days.
Miley Cyrus Speaks on Big Bang Video, 18th Birthday Plans and More
What was it like for Miley Cyrus to make out with Keven Zegers in the music video for The Big Bang? How will this singer celebrate her 18th birthday in just a few days?
During a break from rehearsing for her appearance at this Sunday's American Music Awards, Miley answered these questions and more. To wit:
"Kevin is actually the boyfriend of someone that works very closely with me," Miley says. "So there was definitely a little awkwardness since she was on set or whatever."
For understandable reasons, Miley remained mum on the topic of her parents' divorce, not commenting on rumors that she played an indirect role in their split.
But she did tackle a number of other subjects, from turning 18 on November 23 and more. Watch the interview below.
Miley Cyrus is showing more skin than ever in a bid to get her parents attentions. According to experts, the Disney darling wants her parents to be reunited after they went on separate ways earlier this month. Cyrus is clever enough in the fashion deparment to accidentally expose her breats at the recent MTV EMA’s in Madrid, Spain. She also left little to imagination, sporting a lace dress for her sexy performance at German show “Wetten, dass…”Psychotherapist Dr. Gilda Carle, says, “Miley knows what is appropriate and inappropriate. Exposing herself is an act of defiance. She’s acting out — acting like a bad girl, so sexualized, because she wants to force her parents to jump back in and act like her parents again and stop her. “Children of divorce, like Miley, often take it upon themselves to try and maneuver their parents back together and that’s exactly what Miley’s trying to do by publicly acting out.
