According to an AOL poll, Miley Cyrus was the worst celebrity influence of 2009. The 16 year-old professional pole dancer and sometimes “singer” beat out both Britney Spears and Kanye West in the poll geared toward 9-15 year olds.
Wait a second. Nine year olds answer polls online? Geez.
It seems that the pre-teens didn’t like her dating a guy in his twenties, making ‘slant-eyes’ in a Twitter pic, or choosing to hoist herself on a pole while lip-syncing her heart out at the Teen Choice Awards.

“I think Miley is in an interesting space where she is trying to graduate from being ‘Hannah Montana’ and a Disney channel celebrity and coming into her own and having a career beyond Disney,” said Stephanie Cohen, editor of JSYK.com.
“I think her fans still want her to be the sweet Hannah Montana and she is trying to age up…Parents are definitely resisting it.”
Age up? She’s sixteen!
When I was sixteen I was begging for the keys to my mom’s Camry not pole dancing. I saved that for my twenties.

I think people take things a little too far. I’m fourteen and I see people my age getting pregnant. I don’t want that ‘she’s a rolemodel’ crap anymore.
Obviously you’ve never SEEN a pole dance. Give the kid a break
I’m so glad my kids were not raised in Hollywood or in show biz! They aren’t perfect, but they weren’t dressing up like hookers for halloween or pole dancing on national TV. I have no idea what is happening to so-called “parents” today. They shouldn’t have pets, let alone kids!
girl u are so sexy i wana love on you
She is just herself. she is a teen give her a break. heck think about her talents and accomplishments. a couple of rough years is what we all go through she will rise out of it
