Miley Cyrus is definitely one of the hottest and sexiest teen celebrities of today, no doubt about it. A singer, songwriter, and an actress, she catapulted to stardom via the hit Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. To this date, she has sold 20 million albums combined with Hannah Montana and Miley, herself.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, the 17-year-old hot sexy young star and daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus became interested in acting when she was nine. Her early career was marked by minor roles, the first of which was playing a girl named Kylie on her father's television series Doc. In 2003, she played the role of "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton's Big Fish.
At the age of 12, Miley auditioned for the role of "best friend" in a Disney Channel tv series about a "secret pop star", entitled Hannah Montana. Disney Channel executives at first judged her to be too young, but her persistence resulted in her being called back for further auditions. She eventually auditioned for the lead role, Zoe Stewart. When she won the role, the character's name was changed to Miley Stewart since Miley claims she was called by too many names.
Hannah Montana was a hit among children and teenagers, leading hot and sexy Miley to a successful career in music and film. The first Hannah Montana soundtrack debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and the second release was a double album, a second Hannah Montana soundtrack and Miley's first solo album, which also reached number one. Her first headlining tour, the Best of Both Worlds Tour, lasted from October 2007 to January 2008 with 69 concerts across the United States.
In 2008, Miley was listed in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. Forbes magazine ranked her #35 on the "Celebrity 100" list for earning $25 million in 2008 and in 2009, her rank improved to #29. She was also ranked number four on Billboard's list of the Top Female Artists of 2009, above artists such as Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson.
