Miley On Jennifer Aniston And Angelina Jolie
Miley Cyrus is making her thoughts known about two of Hollywood's most talked about women -- Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie Though the stars are often pitted against each other in the press, Miley tells Glamour magazine she admires them both. "I'm a huge Jennifer Aniston fan and a huge Angelina Jolie fan," she says in the new issue, out April 7. "Jennifer Aniston can put on a plain black dress, with plain makeup and hair, and look so stunning. Angelina always looks so comfortable in her own skin. She's also changed, going from wild child to being a mom and having a normal life. And Jennifer Aniston bounced back after her divorce. If anything like that ever happens to me, I’m like, 'Pull a Jennifer, Miley!' She is so classy." Meanwhile, the 16-year-old speaks her mind on a number of other topics. On her family: "The last thing I ever want to do is disappoint my family. I think it’s selfish to go out partying all the time, especially if you have little ones [in your family]. I have a nine-year-old sister, and I don’t want her to go to school and have people make fun of her for it." On her friends: "When I read something in the tabloids and it’s from an 'insider,' I want to know who thinks they're on the 'inside.' Because I can count on one hand the people who really know me." On her relationship: "The best thing that’s happened to me in a long, long time has been meeting Justin [Gaston], because he’s the most respectful and selfless person I’ve ever known." On growing up: "I think at some point during everyone’s life, you finally figure yourself out. I haven’t even done that yet. I’m still learning who I am." On her figure: "One thing that bugs me is people who say, 'Miley really needs to lose some weight,' or, 'She got her boobs done.' I did start out really skinny, but you’re not going to have boobs when you’re 12 years old. I’m like, What are talking about -- let me grow!'"[Read full story on The Insider]
