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.
