Milley Cyrus and The Worst Celebrity Influence of 2009

This news is have a little bit of contradiction with my previous post about Miley Cyrus being abstinence. Recently, Disney superstar Miley Cyrus has been voted the worst celebrity influence of 2009 in a new online poll. The 16-year-old was the number one choice for kids and young teens who voted in AOL�s JSYK.com survey.

Miley took in 42% of the vote, Britney Spears came in second place with 27%, followed by rapper Kanye West, 19%.


No reasons were given for the poor showing of the Hannah Montana star.

However, the position follows a year which has seen Cyrus controversially dating a 20-year-old model, making �slant eyes� in an informal snapshot criticized as mocking Asians, and being accused of pole-dancing on a teen awards show.

Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) came in fourth in the list, while Transformers star Shia LaBeouf came in fifth. Though, there might not be a real feud going on between Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, Miley can be jealous of Selena for one thing: Selena was voted the Best Influence of this year, with her best friend Taylor Swift coming in second. Nick Jonas came in third, Emma Watson in fourth and Justin Bieber in fifth.

Best Celeb Influence

Selena Gomez - 30%
Nick Jonas - 17%
Taylor Swift - 28%
Justin Bieber- 12%
Emma Watson - 13%

So do you think AOL users are right to single out Miley, or can you think of someone who sets a far worse example to kids? Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment below and stay tuned for more TV news.
