Get the scoop on Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus, better known as teen queen Hannah Montana!

 

Most people know Miley Cyrus as teen pop star Hannah Montana on the popular Disney series.  But did you know that neither Miley nor Hannah is her real name?  When she was born on November 23, 1992, her parents gave her the name Destiny Hope.  How do you get Miley out of Destiny, you may ask.  Well there is a simple explanation.  Her notorious country singer father, Billy Ray Cyrus, nicknamed her Miley, short for Smiley, the day she was born, and the name just stuck.
 
Apart from being a huge television star, Miley is just a normal kid.  She has two brothers, two sisters, and two cats.  Because Miley’s acting career took off so well, the whole family has moved from Nashville to Los Angeles.  Before acting, the teen idol was an award-winning cheerleader.  Nowadays, she works eight or nine hours on the set for Hannah Montana.  However, she is still required by law to spend at least three hours on schoolwork each day.  There is a tutor on set, but Miley shifts a lot between acting and schooling throughout the day.
 
Miley’s career is flourishing nicely.  She has even been compared to that of Hilary Duff.  Also, she is currently working on her own album, a collection of 12 songs all of which she either wrote herself or co-wrote.  This album will not be under the name of Hannah Montana, nor will it be following in her father’s country footsteps.  This one is all her own!
