Miley Cyrus Slams Rebecca Black, Also Says She Is Not Single

By AOL Music Editors Posted Mar 31st 2011 01:00AM

Miley Cyrus was once a burgeoning 13-year-old star herself, so why is she hating on young Rebecca Black?

"It should be harder to be an artist," Cyrus pined to Australia's Daily Telegraph when asked about the rising viral sensation and her new song, 'Friday.' "You shouldn't just be able to put a song on YouTube and go out on tour."

Cyrus is no stranger to controversy, but to be fair, she has held it together better than most child-turned-adult stars. Upon turning 18 she's had to face the near-divorce of her parents, racy photos being leaked, the cancellation of 'Hannah Montana' and, of course, the whole salvia bong-smoking incident. But don't look for her to take to the social airwaves to complain about it.

"I do not tweet, I do not social network, I try to stay out of it," she admitted. "For me, I complain enough about people knowing too much about my private life, so to go out there and exploit myself would be silly and hypocritical of what I stand for."

Cyrus is dealing with it the way she was raised by her father Billy Ray Cyrus to deal with it: by singing. "I don't lip-sync," she said proudly. "I would rather someone say I sang like crap than have people see me lip-sync."

Scaling back her stage performance, Cyrus was interviewed by The Daily Telegraph in advance of the Australian leg of her 'Gypsy Heart' tour, and she was excited to share that this set of shows features fewer costume changes, some acoustic songs and a set list influenced by shout-outs from the crowd -- all for a ticket price under $100. But will she be traveling alone?

"I don't want to cross out the Australian boys, but I may or may not be single ... I'm definitely not coming to Australia single."

riiiggghhhttt. theres so many more people in the world that face so much more crap in their lives and are ignored. but celebrites live as the melodramatic, sensitive humans they are and the tiniest dispute and troubles goes straight on the news for society to sypmathize over. seriously.

Wow jealous much Miley? You had it easy breaking into the entertainment industry but you seem oddly insecure about someone else catching a break. Had any #1 hits lately?

Sad to say, but it seems Miley's career peaked with Hannah Montana, and the only way she can stay in the public eye is to denigrate other younger performers, and make foolish decisions that get her into the news.
She's at an awkward age.
I hope she finds herself eventually

There have been people in bands such as Muse and Franz Ferdinand who have been around longer but have just touched the surface of fame, at least in America. Miley just had her career given to her like a birthday gift...others had to work their butts off just for a place to play a 5 song gig.
