Miley's Back-Up Plan with Justin

Ok...so this week the media's all up in the storm with Miley Cyrus - yet AGAIN. This time it's all about her new single, it's video clip and her performance. Obviously this is the first time Cyrus has come under fire. When Party in the USA came out she was under fire for her short-shorts and her alleged "pole-dancing". But this time, the Disney starlet has blown away her child-star past by continuing her path down "maturity lane".

Fighting to have her own identity as a soon-to-be adult, Miley has made enormous efforts to go beyond the world of Hannah Montana.



This was this weeks major controversial:



The allegation by the media is that she actually shares a "lesbian kiss" with one of her dancers.



Truth be told, she seems like she's re-enacting a scene from The Twilight Saga. Although in the eyes of the media, this act is just another way of diverting from her role as Hannah Montana.

Miley has defended her self on her blog saying:

"...during my performance, I supposedly 'kissed a girl' - this is the newest thing to cause controversy. I promise you I did not kiss her. It's ridiculous that two performers can't rock-out with each other without the media making it into some kind of story. I really hope my fans are not disappointed in me because the truth is, I did NOTHING wrong. I just went out there and did my job - which is to perform to the best of my ability. Just want to put an end on this ordeal right now. I just want to say one thing to everyone, that they're making this performance such a big deal...GET OVER IT. There are more important things in this world."

I understand that she's been wrongly accused and that the media does sometimes prey on her, but you have to admit, she put's herself out there. No one Tinsel Town said, "Oh, I think I want to be a role model when I grew up." No they first said, "Want to be a star," and then, "I want to be someone people can look up to." Some stars don't even realise that they are someone's role model.

Miley tends to forget that no matter at what age she is, she will always have younger girls looking up to her. If she's trying to imitate people like Madonna or Britney or Lady Gaga, she has to take into consideration that her age DOES matter. Madonna can dress in her leotards and fishnet stockings because it's her thing and she's old. Plus the fact that Madonna balances out her outfits - I mean hello suits.

Britney on the other hand was the icon during the 90s. She came in when jump-suits were still awesome and were down to our ankles. She also leaves all the crazy stuff to Gaga. Gaga on the other hand re-invents herself to out do herself. No one, can be Gaga.

I understand that Miley is trying to separate "Miley" from "Hannah" - but let's face it, if the show's still on air and she's still the face of Hannah Montana, then she can't deny the fact that perhaps the media is playing "mum and dad" to a disobedient child.


That all said and done, let go to....


Yes, I know. Justin Bieber again. Let me tell you something about this song though. Since my brother gave my sister JB's My World 2.0 for her birthday, this is the only song that seems to be playing every time I walk into her room. One time in the car I was like, "Eeenie meenie minimo..." and she was like, "You know that song?!" and I was like, "You keep playing it!"

But I like this video clip because it actually make total sense with the song! What I don't get is, why the first verse says, "She's INDECISIVE, she CAN'T DECIDE..." doesn't "indecisive" mean "can't decide"?

Finally:

The Back Up Plan starring: Jennifer Lopez and Alex O'Loughlin

Ever though "The One" is never going to walk into you life, so you just have to make a family all on your own? Well Zoe (Lopez) did, until "Mr. Right" (O'Loughlin)decides to walk straight into her...cab. What starts off as a harmless connection turn into a hilarious series of events that lead to parenting problems in the dating scene.

Struggling to find a happy medium between what she's always known and what she's discovering, Zoe has to do more than just give birth to twins, but also open her heart to new possibilities.


I though this movie was just great. With the potential of being cliche, writer Kate Angelo (What About Brian and Will and Grace), has turned it into a brilliant comedy. I loved the fact that you were always on your toes. I was always like, "Oh this is going to happen!" but it wasn't! There were so many little things that made to LOL. I don't think there was anything I didn't like, but it was a really good story.
