Some sad news from the Cyrus family....

"Miley Cyrus' Parents Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus Divorcing" - http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/detail.jsp?contentId=207991

I feel bad for Miley. I hope this doesn't lead to Miley having drugs or alcohol problems. I know first hand what parents separating can do to a young adult.

Awwwww...

And even though this isn't directly about Miley Cyrus herself, I worry this won't help her own reputation at all.

[DarthGonzo]

She's rich. She's famous. People get divorced all the time. Miley will be fine.

I usually ignore these threads, but... I can't let it go this time. I just have to ask this.

WHO CARES????

[ABrown]

I just have to ask this.

WHO CARES????

Me, I follow celebrity/entertainment news regularly.

[veemonjosh]

She's rich. She's famous. People get divorced all the time. Miley will be fine.

Financially, sure, she's fine. That means absolutely nothing about her emotional state over this.

[Blackstar]

I thought that Miley Cyrus' parents were divorced already. Perhaps Tish is bitter about Disney' producers killing off Miley's mom at the beginning of Hanna Montana.

[GregX]

Me, I follow celebrity/entertainment news regularly.

Why?

I don't think the personal lives of celebrities and their families are our business anymore than the personal lives of your neighbors down the street, or a small random family in Delaware. Is the personal life of your mailman something you follow?

If one is going to follow news regularly, I kindly suggest you follow local, state, national, and global politics. The kind of things that influence and directly affect all of our lives. We live in a world where celebrity gossip magazines outsell Time Magazine, and I am appalled by that fact.

If the lives of people doing "high profile" projects interest you, then instead of following the personal life of Miley Cyrus, why don't you donate some money to soldiers fighting oversees? Each and every single one of them is more important than... er... whatever the names of Miley Cyrus's parents are.

We're all fans of animation, right? How many of you are interested in Bruce Timm's personal life? I'm not... and it's none of my business anyway.

This. Why do people assume a divorce will make a child go through hurdles in life such as drugs and alcohol?

Look at it this way, is this newsworthy? Would it be the front page story, or any page story, on a major newspaper line? This is almost as bad as "Brad Pitt and Jolie not getting a divorce"

So

I feel bad for Miley. I hope this doesn't lead to Miley having drugs or alcohol problems. I know first hand what parents separating can do to a young adult.

Miley is getting into drugs and alcohol anyway, whether her parents are splitting or not, I guarantee. It's the next celebrity phase after sluttiness.

The tabloids have been so restless for years about that. "How dare they stay together -- we have a business to run!"

[Mesousa]

Seems kinda weird, as it doesn't look like they had issues to each other.

No kidding.
It’s like Milley had a dress rehearsal or this.
Drugs, alcohol and driving your career into the ground are all par for the course among celebrities coming of age.
But if the wigs come out, and we start hearing stories about zany madcap adventures, then we’ll know how tough it’s been on her.

[AlgeaX]

Totally behind GregX on this, I've never understood the facination with celebrities' personal lives. I don't care who Scarlett Johansson is sleeping with unless it's me.

[SKDarkDragon]

I prefer not to know anything about actor/voice actors' personal lives. I feel like it distorts my view of the show I'm trying to watch for entertainment. Really messed up my viewing of the later seasons of House. (Though, that could also just be that the seasons weren't as good to begin with!)

She's rich. She's famous. People get divorced all the time. Miley will be fine.

Not to mention, Tish Cyrus isn't even her birth mother. Billy Ray divorced her back in the mid-90's.

Miley Cyrus will be fine, believe me.

[ABrown]

Would you happen to have any evidence that such is the case? Because the Eonline article REALLY makes it sound like she's her biological parent. Specifcally: "They have three children together, Miley, 17, Braison, 16 and Noah, 10. Billy Ray also has two stepkids he adopted when they were infants and a son from a previous relationship."

I doubt it since while I don't know if Master P's married but I never heard anything negative about Lil' Romeo and his siblings being raised by a single dad with a maid (Season 1) and new girlfriend turned wife (Seasons 2-3) in Romeo on Nickelodeon.

Dude was making a joke.

I believe the information is legit since Billy Ray was married to a Ms. Cindy Smith from 1986-1991.

These threads rarely turn out well and this one starts with less discussable "news" than most. We'll just close this one early rather than waiting for it to be a problem in 24 hours or less.
