Miley Cyrus’s parents worry she’s “the next Lindsay Lohan”

fp_5841189_cyrus_miley_per_100410

This is rather a non-story, considering it’s stuff that every person says about Miley when they look at photos of her flashing her beav at kids, and wandering around an LA sex club. So, according to Hollywood Life’s sources, Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus (Miley’s parents) are worried that Miley is turning into “the next Lindsay Lohan.” Even though they’re concerned, they’re still not going to say “no” to anything their little Miley wants, though. “Daddy, can I have a sex dungeon?” “Why, of course, baby.”

A family friend tells HollywoodLife.com how Miley’s parents have lost complete control over their 17-year-old daughter and they are scared she’s going to end up just like Lindsay Lohan!

In less than six months, Miley Cyrus has gone from being Disney’s wholesome Hannah Montana, to a 17-year-old club-hopping, see-through shirt wearing wild child…and her parents, Tish and Billy Ray, are beginning to realize their daughter simply can’t be tamed.

“At first Miley’s mom, Tish, got upset when people would tell her her daughter was being wild, but now she’s realizing it herself,” a Cyrus family friend told HollywoodLife.com. “We’re concerned for her. She’s 17-years-old, but is the one who makes the money and calls all the shots in the family. No one tells Miley no. And even if they did, she’s so charismatic that she’d convince them to change their minds.”

Although Billy Ray had a successful career as a country star, Miley has already put his accomplishments to shame. Placing 29th on Forbes‘ The Celebrity 100, Miley reportedly made $25-million in 2009, making her one of the most successful teens in the world — and a terror to deal with at home.

“She’s a sweet girl at heart, but she’s starting to push the envelope,” our source admits. “Between the fast-paced lifestyle and her new ‘image,’ everyone is saying that it’s just a matter of time before she ends up in trouble. We don’t want her to be the next Lindsay Lohan, but the odds are against her.”

Former teen queen, Lindsay Lohan, 24, spiraled out of control and has landed herself in rehab five times — and many blame her addictions on the lack of parental guidance and support in her life. Is Miley headed down the same path?

[From Hollywood Life]

I’m concerned about Miley too – I think she’s looks like hell lately, like she hasn’t been sleeping and like she’s been drinking and comfort-eating. I worry that whatever is going on with Liam Hemsworth is not good for her, and I worry that Miley is going to have a public downward spiral. That being said, do you really see a Lindsay Lohan-type crack spiral for Miley? I don’t. I think it’s going to be more Britney Spears-style. One day, Miley is going to shave her head and attack a car with an umbrella. BUT – I do think Miley is in a better place at 17 years old than Britney was at the same age. When Brit was 17, she’s was still on her “I’m a little sexed up virgin, y’all” image and the double life f-cked her mind. Miley isn’t playing that game anymore. At all. So I have hope that Miley has enough willpower to make it through what seems like a rough period.

    with good reason. She’s already been on the pole.

  2. Rosalita says:

    Why is she always pointing to her right shoulder/boob?

  3. Sassy says:

    I agree her downward spiral will be more Brit-Brit style than Blohan. Sad either way.

  4. The Bobster says:

    Only in America can a homely, panfaced girl with a voice like a kazoo make $25 million.

  5. Annicka says:

    Personally, I’m looking forward to it.

  6. Samigirl says:

    It’s hard being 16, 17 in a normal world. I can’t imagine it with people following me around all the time, as well as the added burden of being a role model to millions of little girls. I hope for the best for this little girl, but if her parents don’t lay down some laws for her, she prolly will end up like brit brit or lilo.

  7. Ferguson. says:

    @Rosalita haha, you’re right!.

    I don’t think she will take the LiLo path, nor the Britney Spears path either… she’s not bipolar and I think she knows what she’s doing; anyway… she needs more attention & control from her parents, that’s crucial.

  8. Marjalane says:

    Miley looks like she’s either gone on carb overload or she’s taking some kind of medication. She isn’t gaining weight, but her face is always puffy.

    While I find Dina Lohan to be the ultimate evil, greedy stage mother, I think Billy Ray and “Tish” (God, that name makes me shudder) are just stupid. It seems as though Miley has been calling the shots in that family for a long time!

  9. flourpot says:

    She’s 17. Her parents have only little time left to step it up before she’s a legal adult. Too little, too late.

  10. Katie says:

    Voice like a kazoo…that’s priceless. And very on point.

    She is a terrible dresser.

  11. Kitten says:

    Well she is right in line with them as far as her fashion choices go. I really can’t stand the 80s-style garbage the kids seem to favor these days.
    Now I totally understand how my parents felt when I started wearing my momn’s old bellbottoms in high school. It’s almost like you have to LIVE through it to realize how awful it is.

  12. Anaya says:

    Now her parents are worried? Yeah. But they’re still okay with her being in her second serious relationship with a man in his early 20’s. (The other was nearly 20 and she was about 15 then). Oh and she’s still just 17. It’s a little too late for her folks to act all concerned. Whatever.

  13. Ruby Red Lips says:

    She is just acting out as any normal hormonal teenager would

    Only problem is she is acting out in celeb land with enough enablers and yes people so I think she could be in trouble at some point

  14. Poopie says:

    I realize that she is just a pop tart for the 10 and under crowd and has made a S.Pot load of $$$$ but i just don’t see any talent for anyone in that family. gee, daddy did that one song (don’t tell me, i don’t want it stuck in my head all afternoon) that was a hit and he wasn’t what i’d call ‘talented’ and the kid is the same milk toast talent; so WHY are we constantly discussing her? she’s no more relevant than Lohan

  15. Louisa says:

    She at least comes off as more intelligent than britney did. Brit could never string 2 words together and when she did,they were invariably “it’s really cool”. But I think Mileys problem is that she thinks shes too smart and thinks she gets everything, where she doesn’t have a clue yet at 17 even if she is dealing with a different life than the rest of us is used to.

  16. Delta Juliet says:

    NOW they’re worried? Jeez, thanks for waking up Mom and Dad.

  17. Eleonor says:

    For godsake they’re her parents, and she’s underage, they can say NO to her.
    She goes in clubs nearly undressed, she can have all the money, but her mother has the right, and the power to say: I don’t let you go out like this!
    But I think now it’s too late, they don’t have any chance to succeed because they must have stopped this before, they don’t have credibility since they’ve allowed her to do a POLE dance at sixteen.

  18. Rita says:

    Personally I think this buzz is primarily so the parents can look concerned and to push Miley’s image into the “OMG Miley say it ain’t so” category.

    If its true, the parents promoted her as such so don’t whine when the kid doesn’t call on your birthday.

  19. Anti-icon says:

    This family is Brittney Spears 2.0

    Miley will behave the same as Brittney, and her dad will lock her down with a conservater-ship because she’s the one making the family dough. Sad, these stupid hillbilly’s who sign on the dotted line for their child to be expolited in the name of fame and money.

    Miley = Brittney;
    Billy Ray Hillbilly Dad = Jamie Spears

    Sickens.

  20. bondbabe says:

    Um, hello-o-o idiot parents!! She’s still a MINOR, and the word NO can be said to her. Whether or not she will listen is another matter. But at least they would’ve made their objections heard. And so what if she makes all the money; I highly doubt she has complete access to it whereby she could just withhold it. Wouldn’t her parents be her trustees, at least in part?

  21. a says:

    #4 — hilarious!!!!

  22. kat says:

    I think it is too late for them to worry about that sort of stuff.
    When her father took her for her first photo shoot & had her photoes taken with only a piece of bedsheet wrapped around her, he should have thought about her future.
    All they want is free publiciy ,,,,I wish her good luck.

  23. spinner says:

    Just another brainwashed, Monarch sex-slave. She’s been trained for this all along.

  24. TQB says:

    Well, it’s about time.

  25. jireh33 says:

    It seems to me that what this girl needs most is Jesus and you’ll see that everything turns out for the good

  26. Original Gracie says:

    More delusional parents who created the monster and now they claim to be “so worried”.

    Miley makes the bucks so they kowtow to her every desire and then wonder what went wrong. duh.

  27. karma says:

    A good christian girl, who ALWAYS wears booty shorts, just tuggin on her cooch and bare legs up to THERE.

  28. KateNonymous says:

    In a lot of those photos, she looks like an Olson twin.

  29. Ruby Red Lips says:

    My comment has disappeared…didn’t think there was anything controversial in it…..??!!!

    Anyhows here goes again;

    Shes acting out like a normal 17 year old, but with all the trimmings of Hollywood (inc enablers and yes men) which is why it may become a huge problem for her at some point

  30. Delta Juliet says:

    WTH is with her arm anyway? She looks like a t-rex.

  31. Jules says:

    @4! Best line ever!

  32. MCForRealzz says:

    I dont think she will end up like Lilo.
    She has good head on her shoulders and better parents.
    But I do hope she has learned from Britneys mistakes and doesnt repeat them.. Only time will tell if she does.

  33. Crash2GO2 says:

    Ugh, she just hunches so horribly it’s uncomfortable to look at. It’s like she’s trying to curl up into the fetal position while walking. She may be telling us that she’s confident and sexy, but her body language says otherwise.

  34. Heidi H. says:

    All I did was read the title to this post & without thinking “DUH” came out of my mouth.

    Holy hell. Hollywood kills kids.

  35. Budda DeCat says:

    They should have started worrying when they prostituted her out (figuratively) with the half-naked dancing, dating 20 year old men, posting pictures of herself kissing other girls on the Internet, and basically allowing her to run around doing whatever she wants whenever she wants. But hey, it’s hard to say “no” to your meal-ticket.

  36. kelbear says:

    Why does she always wear her moms trailer park shorts? Fugly much?

  37. Relli says:

    @ Spinner. Are you the one who posted the Disney conspiracy link? The stuff totally sent for a loop and something i haVE always suspected of Disney, even before South Park pointed it out too. They do something to those kids, really name one of them that either turned out OK.

  38. Chelly says:

    They have no one to blame but themselves. She is going down the Lindsay Lohan path, & when she crashes & burns, she has a little sister (just like Lindsay) ready to step up to the spotlight and “shine”

    Parents take note:
    This is EXACTLY what happens when you decide to be your child’s friends rather than their actual PARENTS!

  39. Crash2GO2 says:

    @37: Annette Funicello.

  40. OXA says:

    The parents took away her childhood when they pushed her into the business and now they are worried. lol
    Babies are born, brats are created and they chose a career and money for her in instead of setting parameters and values.

  41. Novaraen says:

    It’s so funny how these little poptarts are styled to the teeth for shows…but then walk around the streets looking like a 10$ hooker. Seriously…were they all born with no style sense whatsoever.

    Oh and as for miley being a wild-child….DUH! lol

  42. Tess says:

    Her style of dress just screams “f*ck me.”

    She’ll get what she’s asking for: She’ll be f*cked. She’ll be f*cked up. She’ll age prematurely and badly. Then what?

    Where are the parents? They’re like children themselves.

  43. di butler says:

    I call total BeeeSssss on this story. First, I know someone who works at the club Miley went to. She met some people from LOL that were of age. She didn’t drink, danced a little, and left early. BFD. I was wilder than that 6 weeks before my 18th b’day. Way wilder.

  44. Paul E. Stanley says:

    This is what happens when you try to be your child’s best friend instead of their parent.

    Cyrus family, you reap what you sow.

  45. alejandro says:

    @Louisa

    That’s not true. I could cue up lots of videos of young Britney where she said more then that’s cool. It’s after she’s been dragged through the mud that she resorts to giving those answers in the very few interviews she gives now.

    Miley wont be the next Britney, her album came and went unnoticed, as did her movie. She isn’t sexy and so far her transition from tween queen to adult star has failed.

  46. normade says:

    Her parents should encourage her to GO TO COLLEGE!! Even for her career it would be a good move, she can’t reinvent herself in 2 seconds. Go to college and make yourself discreet and in demand for a couple of years, come back educated with a new image. Worked great for Anne Hathaway and Nat Portman. Lindsey should have followed suit.

  47. Michael says:

    ugh, her parents should be worried about the disgusting clothes she’s been parading around in. Miley Cyrus isn’t even fit to lick Lilo’s Christian Loubitons.

  48. well duh…we all figured that out a few years ago…

  49. Ycnan says:

    comfort-eating? i don’t think she is at all heavy or even the slightest bit heavy looking. i wish we could stop making comments like this about women, especially young girls. sigh.

  50. Confuzzle says:

    Although Billy Ray had a successful career as a one hit wonder and pimp to his daughter

    EFT.

  51. Lita says:

    “she’s so charismatic that she’d convince them to change their minds”

    Are they saying Miley Cyrus is practicing hillbilly MIND CONTROL!!??? Maybe with purple drank? God, save us (y’)all!

  52. albeli says:

    Britney has an actual medical condition. It’s not the same thing.

  53. LindaR says:

    Love your comment @the bobster.

  54. texasmom says:

    #30 — T-Rex! That’s it! That would explain her posture, too. AND the teeth!

    I shudder to think if the world had to see me go through my awkward teen years. I feel sorry for her even tho I don’t especially like her.

  55. SickBoy says:

    Miley’s just your normal 17/18 year old, albeit one with Millions in the bank.
    Why do so many people complain about the way she dresses?
    If you can’t separate Miley on Stage from Miley at Home then you’re simpler than you have any right to be.

  56. dovesgate says:

    Bless her heart, she looks like that Peaches Geldorf person. Unfortunate.

    Hope she hangs on to some of that money because I dont see her continuing on with the ubersuccess. Lets also hope she doesn’t pull a Peaches and shoot heroin in a Sciento-spa

  57. Chris says:

    It should be obvious that the source cited in this blog is bogus. They make it sound like Miley is “making all the money” for the entire family, when in fact, Billy Ray is worth $150 million, twice what Miley has made in her lifetime. The family is not depending on Miley’s money and I doubt seriously that Billy Ray and Tish have “lost control” over her. By all appearances they have a pretty good relationship with their kids. Miley’s not been caught drinking or taking drugs, unlike most kids her age. She’s a hard working actor-singer who works 14 hour days most of the time and there’s very little time left for her to get in the kind of trouble that is the norm for most kids her age. This Celebitchy and most of those commenting above have a serious case of American Taliban Syndrome!

  58. Musicfan says:

    Billy Ray is worth 150 million? Lets say he is, where did he get that money? From playing MILEY’ Dad on “Hannah Montana” if anything that girl has been making the money for them since she was 12 years old, and trust me she knows it!

    I don’t see a Britney style meltdown, if anything she will have one so EPIC that it will be in its own league. Not Lohan or Spears. This girl has been troubled since 15, when her daddy PIMPED her out till the 20 year old model that lived in her house!

    People have already been saying she isn’t acting like herself, and she is always saying these OUTRAGEOUS things that don’t make sense.

  59. anon says:

    she doesn’t look like shes been drinking and comfort eating! how would you tell! she looks normal!

  60. photo jojo says:

    Her parents should have had that thought about 5 years ago. A little late to the party aren’t ya, Billy Ray?

  61. JQ says:

    @The Bobster: Your kazoo comment made me laugh so hard I cried. Thank you! As for Miley, she looks kind of coked up to me. It’s in her eyes and her face seems to say coke bloat to me.

  62. craigc says:

    Billy’s too busy flat-ironing his hair to be a good parent

  63. lucy2 says:

    LOL Craigc! And too true.

    I think they’re a few years too late too. She’s been trying to be a “bad girl” for a while now, and they’ve given her way too much leeway with boyfriends, clothing or lack thereof, etc.
    I think a big problem too will be that she doesn’t seem to have the talent to maintain a long career, and when someone grows up used to the attention and it eventually fades, they get desperate.

  64. Alecto says:

    and they’re just now starting to worry?

  65. Marc Baker says:

    Disney needs to stop manufacturing these worthless little pop tarts, and just go back to making cartoons!
