Miley Cyrus makes it legal
See if you can follow this one: Miley Cyrus, whose real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus, plays the character Hannah Montana, who is really Miley Stewart — also played by Cyrus — in disguise.
Well, Ms. Cyrus is taking one part out of that confusing equation — she has filed papers in a Los Angeles court legally changing her name to Miley Ray Cyrus. (OK, also changing her middle name to match her dad’s is creeping us out a little.)
The 15-year-old singer and TV star is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, who filed the papers last Friday with wife Leticia. Her father writes in the filing that the request was “to make her commonly used name the same as her legal name.”
The name-change request was reported by the celebrity Web site TMZ.com.
Miley Cyrus has said her father gave her the nickname “Smiley Miley” as a baby because of her sunny disposition. On the Disney Channel tween hit “Hannah Montana,” she plays a teen who hides her singing stardom.
