America’s New “It” Girl

Overnight sensation Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana screams hot in as many ways as Paris Hilton (minus the luxury jail time).  After her premiere in the Disney Show Hannah Montana, Cyrus became the new teen icon.  She does it all—acts, is a concert sell-out and gives a new energetic spin to teen pop culture.  Her annual earnings amount to $3.5 million.  There is a prediction that in five years Cyrus’ net worth will near billions.  To me, Cyrus’ young success compares to Britney Spears’ early years of fame before her frequent visits to rehab.  Question is: Will Cyrus’ quick claim to fame and fortune make her turn out like other teen pop stars such as Britney? That’s hard to predict because she is already headed on a more conservative path than Britney.
