Miley Cyrus chosen #5 Woman Of The Year
The 17-year-old pop star is on a serious roll, with a #1 movie, hit songs and a bit of controversy in 2009.
Miley Cyrus came into the year with a Golden Globe-nominated song and an invite to play one of Barack Obama’s inaugural shows. Her “Hannah Montana” movie bowed at #1 at the box office, pulling in some $34 million, the second-highest grossing Easter-weekend debut in history. Within a few weeks, the soundtrack to the movie would claim the top spot on the Billboard albums chart too.
Among Cyrus’ other newsworthy moments this year, she feuded with Radiohead and Jamie Foxx. She reunited (in song) with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas, and tweeted through her breakup with model Justin Gaston. She inadvertently complicated Lil Jon’s life when the rapper somehow acquired her old phone number. She made the brave move of dissing the “Twilight” series. And then she met the Queen of England.
