Poor Miley Cyrus has been taking a lot of heat lately. Sure, I know she did the whole pole dance thing, and the provocative photos in various states of undress, and the topless Vanity Fair shoot, and there was that whole thing where she pretended to be floating away in a hot air balloon but turned out to be hiding in an attic (I think that was her), but did she really deserve to be voted worst role model? If Miley is #1, then I’m sure Chris Brown is a close second. He’s almost as bad as Miley, right?

Well it’s tragic indeed, but apparently Miley is okay with all of that. Ms. Cyrus has gone on the record and stated her personal feelings about being idolized:

“If you look at me as a role model I agree with it. If you look at me as an idol, I don’t agree.

“An idol for me is someone that you want to replicate. You want to be them.

“I don’t wish that on anyone, to lose what they have personally, because that’s when your spark goes.”

So don’t idolize Miley. If you need somebody to idolize, idolize Chad Dylan Cooper. He doesn’t mind at all.
