What could be a better birthday present to a 16-year-old than a brand new Porsche? Not many things could top that list for a teenager, but Miley Cyrus has done a fabulous job following up the gifts of her sweet sixteenth by gaining a nomination for a Golden Globe Award, announced in last week’s awards show fervor. Cyrus’ new Porsche Cayenne took the backseat to the artist’s newest gift of a possible Golden Globe, as the Hannah Montana star recently secured her spot to the second awards show since November, when she performed at the American Music Awards.

Cyrus and singer-songwriter Jeffrey Steele picked up the Golden Globe nod for “I Thought I Lost You,” a song the two co-wrote for the Disney film Bolt. The single is up for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture, and it will compete against Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman with “Down to Earth” from Wall-E; Jamie Cullum, Clint Eastwood, Kyle Eastwood and Michael Stevens for “Gran Torino” from Gran Torino; Beyonce Knowles, Amanda Ghost, Scott McFarmon, Ian Dench, James Dring and Jody Street for “Once in a Lifetime” from Cadillac Records and Bruce Springsteen for “The Wrestler” in The Wrestler. This year’s Golden Globe Awards, the 66th annual presentation, will commence on January 11.

While 2008 has been one monumental year in the spotlight for Miley Cyrus, the teen pop sensation has been at the forefront of media attention ever since she was born, being the first daughter of country music legend and “Achy, Breaky Heart” vocalist Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley’s entertainer gene was evident from childhood, and she got the nickname Miley (her real name is Destiny Hope) as a shortened version of “Smiley,” a name she gained due to her cheerful disposition as a baby. Miley Cyrus made her debut into the entertainment world in 2003 when she made a cameo in the television series Doc, soon thereafter landing a small role in the Tim Burton film Big Fish. The child prodigy made her big break in 2005, however, when she gained the title role in the Disney series Hannah Montana. The TV show let Cyrus demonstrate both her acting and singing skills, as she played a character leading a double life as normal teenager Miley Stewart by day and superstar Hannah Montana by night. The first Hannah Montana soundtrack came out in 2006 following the release of the Hannah Montana film, and Cyrus absolutely exploded as a teen icon thereafter.

Since 2006, Cyrus has gone on to conquer all means of the entertainment industry, embarking upon several national tours and releasing many smash singles and albums both as Hannah Montana and as Miley Cyrus. Cyrus’ debut solo release as herself dropped in the summer of 2008 under the title Breakout, and that’s just what this sugar-coated pop tart has done ever since. Cyrus’ live performances are appropriate for all ages, so if you haven’t seen the Hannah Montana star rock the stage live, get Miley Cyrus tickets from http://www.stubhub.com/miley-cyrus-tickets and get the party started!

With the nation’s biggest event of the year already stirring up excitement, the Presidential Inauguration has been drawing in the biggest names in entertainment to help celebrate the beginning of a new presidential era. It’s hard to imagine any national event going down without the help of vocalist Miley Cyrus, and the tween sensation will indeed be right in the middle of the action this month in Washington, D.C., as Cyrus and her father (the “Achy, Breaky Heart”-singing Billy Ray Cyrus) will both perform in the TV concert Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future, an event honoring military families that is set to air on the Disney Channel on January 19 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day).

Also joining the Hannah Montana superstar and her father onstage in support of the Presidential Inauguration are the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Keke Palmer, Usher and Shaquille O’Neal. The Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future concert will air one day before the 2009 Presidential Inauguration. Another concert in celebration of the inauguration will take place on January 20, the night of President Obama’s swearing-in ceremony. The Neighborhood Ball: An Inauguration Celebration will feature musical guests Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Faith Hill, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys and Shakira and will air on ABC on January 20.

Pop singer and Disney Channel icon Miley Cyrus is no stranger to the main stage, as the teenage celebrity was born to country music star Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley, whose real name is Destiny Hope but takes her stage name from the nickname Smiley for which she was called as a cheerful child, was born in 1992 and wasted no time getting into the entertainment industry.

The child prodigy made her debut as an actress in 2003 when she made a cameo in the television show Doc, and later that year she appeared in the Tim Burton film Big Fish. Cyrus worked singing into her healthy diet of acting and by 2005 she was ready to explode on the public scene, giving the rest of the world a taste of Miley Cyrus when she was cast in the lead role of the Disney program Hannah Montana. The lovable teenager plays a normal schoolgirl by day and rock star by night in Hannah Montana, letting her emphasize both her acting and singing skills simultaneously. The Disney Channel television series became an instant hit with teens across the country in 2006, eventually leading to a Hannah Montana film and soundtrack that propelled Miley Cyrus’ singing career.

In 2007 Cyrus toured the country with another fresh Disney act the Cheetah Girls, and Cyrus’ music industry breakout occurred the same year when the Hannah Montana album was released. Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus followed in its footsteps, becoming Cyrus’ first number one-charting album while further establishing her as a vocalist just as much as an actress. In 2008 Cyrus released Breakout, an appropriately-titled album that was her first full-blown album as herself rather than as Hannah Montana. The album was an instant number one on the Billboard 200 and smash singles “See You Again” and “7 Things” exploded on the pop scene soon thereafter.

As if Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana hasn’t been busy enough these days, the young superstar has also thrown herself into a hectic schedule of tour dates and live performances, appearing on stages across the country while continuing to film episodes of her famed Disney Channel television series. The energetic vocalist’s live performances are fun for all ages, so grab your entire family and get Miley Cyrus tickets from http://www.stubhub.com/miley-cyrus-tickets/!

Teen pop idol and Hannah Montana superstar Miley Cyrus has had quite the successful year in the spotlight as her vocal career has taken off alongside her hit Disney Channel television series, and the starry-eyed pop princess is currently in the middle of a whirlwind of awards shows and live performances. Even without Miley Cyrus tickets, fans have undoubtedly seen the vocal wonder perform at live shows and on television, and yesterday was just another day taking care of business for the teenager.

Kicking off her day with a performance on ABC’s Good Morning America, Miley sang a duet with her father Billy Ray Cyrus in New York before traveling to Nashville for the night, where the father/daughter combination presented a trophy at the 42nd Annual CMA Awards show. Donning an elegant but fun Roberto Cavalli halter gown, a sweeping ponytail and her father at her side, Miley Cyrus made an appearance at the 2008 CMAs while her boyfriend Justin Gaston appeared onstage as Prince Charming during friend and fellow teenage star Taylor Swift’s rendition of her newest single “Love Story.” Cyrus’ cameo at the CMAs is just one awards show on the talented artist’s agenda, as she is also scheduled to perform (along with Swift, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Rihanna and the Jonas Brothers) at this month’s American Music Awards in Los Angeles. The 36th annual event takes place on Cyrus’ 16th birthday, and there will be no better or more fitting way for Cyrus to ring in her sweet sixteenth than onstage in front of millions of viewers.

Cyrus practically grew up in the spotlight, born to mullet-rocking, “Achy Breaky Heart”-singing country music superstar Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley, born Destiny Hope Cyrus, had a bubbly personality from the beginning, and she was nicknamed Miley as a shortened version of “Smiley,” her family’s moniker for her cheerful disposition as a baby. Miley’s entertainment career began in 2003, as the preteen appeared in an episode of the television show Doc, soon thereafter landing a small role in Tim Burton’s film Big Fish. Tasting these first sweet drops of stardom, Cyrus began singing and became known for her title role in the Disney show Hannah Montana in 2005, sparking a Miley Cyrus sensation across the nation. Hannah Montana, a show about a teenage girl leading a double life (the ordinary Miley Stewart by day, pop star Hannah Montana by night), was a smash success, and the show also became Cyrus’ vehicle into the music industry.

In 2006, a soundtrack CD to Hannah Montana was released, including mostly Miley Cyrus songs and also a duet with her father entitled “I Learned from You.” Since then, Cyrus has released several hit pop singles and albums, most recently with her number one-charting album Breakout and the smash singles “See You Again,” “7 Things” and “Start All Over.” When she’s not busy being Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus is jet-setting the nation with her several live performances.
