I cringe mentioning Disney-bred celebrities. I really do. Hilary Duff, Ashley Tisdale, Raven Symone, these are all names well acquainted with my gag reflexes. The latest face of the media mogul, Miley Cyrus, is no different.
The Hannah Montana star will soon hit magazine racks, not with another “controversial” Vanity Fair shoot, but as the PG-rated version of herself on TV Guide’s cover. Now, normally I would avoid mention of the teen. But as overexposed celebrities usually do, they wind up saying things that just irk me. Especially when the media goes digging for sexual tidbits and celebrities so readily appease them.
Having told Extra last year that she’s going to stay a virgin until she marries, TV Guide goes fishing in the same pool. When conversation maneuvers onto the virgin statement, Cyrus has this to say:
“I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand.”
Pause and think about that for a second. This is coming out of the mouth of a 15-year-old girl. Yes, she wears a purity ring and wants to be a strong role model for young girls. But the innuendo behind what she just said has nothing to do with those noble reasons. I don’t understand sitting in an interview and acting like an arrogant coquette while thumbing your purity ring.

You want to be the girl that no one can get (p.s. who is supposed to be “getting” you at 15 anyways!?). So what you’re saying is that either you want to be a lonesome tease or are vain enough to actually believe that your pedestal is just out of reach for anyone to win you?
