Boyfriends and stuff

There have been rumors on the net of Miley dating Jeremy Shum,Joe Jonas, Mitchel Musso, etc.. I was wondering whether we should include it, cuz I have noticed people have been reverting these.. saying it's just "rumors"... but it's still like, true and stuff, cuz it's on the net...

Are you even listening to a word I'm saying? Miley said that she wasn't dating Nick Jonas, or any of these guys, and since there is no proof that she is lying, it shouldn't be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.139.248 (talk) 14:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We do not know what is going on in Miss Cyrus's private life, unless she said she is dating someone with HER OWN MOUTH NOT SOME BLOGGER then maybe we will add it. Mooncrest (talk) 22:16, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In an article for Seventeen magazine she discusses her reltionship with Nick Jonas, saying that they were in a relationship for two years and it ended in December 2007.

Another piece of Controversy

Her on-air conversation with Idaho DJ "KeKe Luv" has recently created quite a stir. After hearing about Luv's attempt to stay awake for seven days, Cyrus suggested purchasing illegal eyedrops from Japan that allow the user to stay awake for two days. This sound clip is archived by the local KISS.FM station, and is played quite frequenly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.60.62.219 (talk) 02:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've checked the normal news outlets and even the gossip sites and not one of them has mentioned this. Without some WP:RS reliable source that we can WP:V verify that talks to this, it does not belong in the article. --NrDg 03:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Illegal eyedrops? Allowing one to stay awake for two days? Are you sure this isn't a joke? WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 17:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is exactly why we have the notability, reliable source and verifiability requirements. --NrDg 18:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Even if backed by sources, this news seems too trivial and tabloid type....it is definitely not notable according to me....Gprince007 (talk) 04:01, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I never heard of something like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.139.17 (talk) 23:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Boise's KISS.FM has the sound clip. Contact them through their website and I'm sure they'd be happy to share it. It hasn't been in tabloids because, frankly, what happens in Idaho stays in Idaho, where nobody cares. But this is completely real; the DJ staying awake was a state-wide frenzy, where he even got awarded by local politicians. And he made sure to use that exact sound byte all the time during this stunt. 72.24.33.99 (talk) 21:13, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That never happened. I looked all over the internet for proof of the "eye drops" scandal, and I found a bunch of random crap that had nothing to do with it. 67.60.62.219 is obviously just another douchebag who thought he/she could post some stupid lie about Miley Cyrus on the internet and get people to believe it. I mean, come on dude. Illegal eye drops? And something like that would definitely make the tabloids. It's amazing that anyone would be stupid enough to believe this crap. 72.95.139.17 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.139.248 (talk) 01:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC) [reply]
People, this really happened. All somebody has to do is contact that radio station and they'll provide a soundbyte. Why didn't it hit tabloids? Because it's goddamn IDAHO.
Dude, you're full of shit. If Miley actually told someone to break the law, it would be in the tabloids. I don't give a fuck if it is in Idaho. So shove it.

Miley's Hannah song, "Rock Star" is very similar to "Scotty Doesn’t Know" by Lustra from the movie Eurotrip. Should we mention that? I heard it everywhere that the band, Lustra, are thinking about what to do about it (lawsuit? demanding credit?) ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 01:31, 11 June 2008 (UTC)Calliegal[reply]

Stripping out the publicity angle of Cyrus falsely being accused of plagiarism. This is a song she didn't write and her only involvement is as a for hire singer/actress performer. This topic properly belongs in the song article as it objectively has nothing to do with Cyrus. --NrDg 01:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2007 Salary??

Miley earned 18.2 million last year, according to Parade magazine's annual "What People Earn" issue. This amount seems much more accurate than the measely 3 million mentioned currently. I suggest this higher figure be used as it seems more correct based on all the facts we have today. Forbes reported in June 2008 that Miley earns $25 million per year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LancerDog (talkcontribs) 04:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the People Edition of World's Richest Kids, it was reported that Miley made $50 MIL per week on tour, so it is impossible that she ONLY made $18.2 MIL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.135.5 (talk) 22:21, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When you are looking at these things, you need to keep track of what's being reported. If Cyrus's tour grossed $50mil/week, she wouldn't personally get a huge percentage of that.Kww (talk) 02:02, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miley on track to be a billionaire by age 18

With all of Miley's new business ventures, financial analysts predict she is on track to be a billionaire by age 18. http://www.hollyscoop.com/hannah-montana/hannah-montana-to-be-a-billionaire-by-age-of-18_14622.aspx —Preceding unsigned comment added by LancerDog (talkcontribs) 05:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


She herself won't be a billionaire, but the Hannah/Miley franchises will be worth about that much (that's my understanding of it at least)

Signature Again

I'm still a little uncertain as to why Miley's article has a signature. Is there some policy that covers this? WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 20:21, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My real concern is with authenticity. It is in commons and it is a content decision whether or not to include it in this article. --NrDg 20:50, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I searched Google images to try to find examples of her handwriting. While the file we have may not be a typical example of her signature, certain characteristics, particularly the way the tail of the "y" is drawn out, make it fairly certain (at least to my mind) that it is genuine. J.delanoygabsadds 04:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to remove this signature. Miley has thousands of posters given out in simple magazines with her signature on it. --Tiah12345 (talk) 09:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i am a bit confused, on the meet miley cyrus cd it say Mley co-wrote it, right? well on the Best of Both Worlds Concert cd it says only Matthew Wilder Tamara Dunn wrote it should it be mentined some where? Meliss402 (talk) 21:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miley's Signature.

Why did Wikipedia put Miley's signature on the page. You know, anyone could copy it, put it on a piece of paper, sell it, and get rich! Could someone change that? --Mileyhannahroxsox (talk) 23:59, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is extremely unlikely. If someone copied the image, and tried to pass it off as the original, it would be painfully obvious if they tried to print it on something. A laser printer looks very different than a pen. Also, Wikipedia is not the only place that has pictures of Cyrus' signature. If was able to make a printer print something that looks enough like a pen to fool someone into thinking that it is a genuine copy of Cyrus' signature, that person would easily know enough to be able to scrape Cyrus' signature from some other image of her autograph. J.delanoygabsadds 04:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is a signature for most people articles on Wikipedia. There is a whole infobox syntax devoted to it. If you have a problem, take it to higher-level discussion pages. I have no examples since there is no precedent for something like this. --haha169 (talk) 01:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jonas Love

Not quite sure which Jonas was involved but should it be mentioned that she had a relationship with (Nick, i think) one of them?! I myself am not totally upto date on the tween scene but I've heard that she has written a song "7 Things" to tell this boy her feelings so seeing as she has written a song which has become a single should there be a mention to the relationship that sparked Cyrus to write this YouTube hit Nisior (talk) 22:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unless we have a reliable source, we need not include it. This issue has been discussed b4 also i guess. Gprince007 (talk) 05:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Miley Cyrus said she was not romantically involved with any of the Jonas Brothers. 72.95.139.17

I've read an aol article and it said that Miley was dating him,because of those hacked pics posted.One of them has her and Nick in it.PacManFreak (talk) 01:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen all of those pictures and none of them had Nick Jonas in it. 72.95.139.17

We do not know what is going on in Miss Cyrus's private life, unless she said she is dating someone with HER OWN MOUTH NOT SOME BLOGGER then maybe we will add it.Mooncrest (talk) 02:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC) ok miley and nick dated for 2 years (sometime in 05 till Dec 07) keeping it secret until the pressure got too much and they spilt, miley was interviewed by SEVENTEEN mag and this was what she said but in differant words (Mini no ipod (talk) 15:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Teen Choice Awards

It should be added that Miley will be the host for the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, which airs on Fox on August 4. It is reported on the wikipedia page for Teen Choice awards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_Choice_Awards) and www.teenchoiceawards.com that this is true. I don't know why it hasn't been updated on this page already, but it is definitely significant for her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Liam8 (talkcontribs) 23:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Overnight Sensation

She wasnt an overnight sensation, that would mean everyone loved her the first day. It sounds like an idoit fan wrote it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChuckCoke (talkcontribs) 23:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree..and "instant hit" sounds more appropriate but, Hannah Montana was an instant hit, not Miley —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zammit123 (talkcontribs) 09:21, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What ethnicity is she???

i know she's white but like what European ancestry is she like Greek, or Irish??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Francedesyy (talkcontribs) 19:13, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from the region where most of her family comes from, I would say she is Scots-Irish, maybe with some others mixed in, mainly the major ones come to mind (English, French, German, etc.) but its honestly hard to tell without actually researching her ancestry. - J-Whitt (talk) 18:19, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talk Show

Tyra Banks has pitched the idea that Miley should have her own talk show. Like a teenage version show of Tyra's. Tyra said she is very talented. I guess after Miley made over 50 million dollars this year somone finally realized she had talent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.198.173 (talk) 03:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures allegedly from Cyrus' camera phone

As far as I can tell, all we know about the alleged hacking of Miley Cyrus' camera phone is just speculation. No one has been able to verify whether the images are authentic. Previously, I remove all references to this from the article as they were uncited and undoubtedly violated WP:BLP. In my opinion, the citation used now is not appropriate, since it is speculating as well. I have re-worded the statement in the article to emphasize that nothing has been proven yet, but I think it should just be removed completely until some concrete information comes out. This is dangerous ground to be walking on. Thoughts? J.delanoygabsadds 04:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the removal of info...becos it does sound too trivial and tabloidish. This is an encylcopedic article and not gossip news....Gprince007 (talk) 04:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was from her fucking email not a camera-phone I dont see where you fucking numbskulls get your information. Quoted from the fucking first page "bro, i got those pics out of her email, and now that i lost access to everything after having access and watching her emails for months... i have nothing to loose for leakin." "A while back I haxed her email... might as well leak these photos" Get a clue wow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lostcauses (talkcontribs) at 12:51, July 15, 2008

From the AOL News webpage cited in the article:
"On Saturday a Web site called Digital Gangster posted photos that they allege were found by a hacker known as TrainReq in the memory of the singer's cell phone.".
From the Fox News webpage cited in the article:
"The photo was allegedly obtained by a hacker at DigitalGangster.com, who reportedly accessed the actress’s cell phone memory."
In the future, please try to be more polite. There is a strict policy against personal attacks in place on this website. J.delanoygabsadds 13:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And the way the FOX News headline was worded would make you think this was something she released. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 15:40, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah your quotes don't mean shit I gave you quotes from THE HACKER HIMSELF saying it not some shitty middle man that has crap information and can't remove watermarks for shit. Trainreq himself has been saying he has got it from the email get a clue. If you even went on DG for 2 seconds you would know better but thats fine keep posting lies on wiki w.e —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

What is required for inclusion on Wikipedia (at least, SHOULD be) is that the source is considered reliable according to the following. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 19:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How isn't the words coming straight from the sources mouth reliable? Really I could care less its a small detail e-five ? \|/_(o.o)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.208.148.249 (talk) 20:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing has been confirmed. The photos all have bad quality to them, and the website that posted them put a disclaimer saying that the photos are not confirmed to be Miley Cyrus. Either the people that took the photos are not sure that it's her, or they know it's not her and put the disclaimer there so that they can cover their ass if the photos turn out to be fake.

The link to Digital Gangster is directly to the thread where someone posted the pictures. The same thread goes on to include fake fully nude pictures. Does wikipedia really want to link directly to nude pictures of a 15 year old, even faked? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Austintal (talkcontribs) 05:14, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind Wikipedia already has tons of pitures that it hosts of material inappropriate for kids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowbellallen (talkcontribs) 18:51, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the "controversies" section includes her not wearing a seat belt in a movie and posing for a magazine, I think the photos should at least be mentioned. 66.30.172.77 (talk) 02:28, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth

On the official court documents from Cyrus's name change, it lists her place of birth as Nashville, Tennessee (PDF (page 4)). The only source for the article's current claim of Franklin, Tennessee, is an article from The San Diego Union-Tribune from Knight Ridder News Service. I would tend to believe an official court document over a lesser-known news service. --Zimbabweed (talk) 07:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, i support the claim of legal document over-riding a news service. I think we should change the info in the article accordingly and use (PDF (page 4) as the cite for it. Gprince007 (talk) 12:55, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
One word of caution. We need to understand what we mean by "birthplace". Given the size of Franklin and its proximity to Nashville, what probably happened is that her family was living in Franklin but used a hospital in Nashville for the birth. In a situation like that, what are we going to call her "birthplace"?
Kww (talk) 14:38, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever be the case....i feel that if Miley decides to give Nashville as her place of birth in a legal document (i am assuming that the legal document on the website is genuine), then we shd write Nashville as her birthplace in the article. Your inference may correct Kww, but if Miley herself states her birthplace as Nashville, then why shouldnt we believe it ??? Gprince007 (talk) 15:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Kww: That's why it's called birthplace and not place of residence at time of birth. Your residence has nothing to do with your place of birth, unless the two are the same. --Zimbabweed (talk) 17:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem with either way with me. I'm making the assumption that the Franklin birthplace is what she stated when asked in an interview.

This comment is not in the correct section and Metro Station should not be in the Associated Acts part because Miley Cyrus has not performed with the band Metro Station. The only relation she has to this band is that her older brother, Trace Cyrus, is a member of it.--Tiah12345 (talk) 09:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miley Cyrus YouTube videos

I was wondering how indepth we go into this in the article. Currently, we have the YouTube page, but we only have one paragraph in the Personal life section about this. Should we include more on this and include information about leaked songs, such as Step Up 2 Miley which she did with Jeremy Shum and Mandy Jiroux, or should we simply leave it as it is? The reason why I ask this is a lot of information may be rumor-based? Thanks!!!Mileycyrusfan2009 (talk) 05:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rumor-based non-notable info shd not be included in the article. Also any information shd be backed up by reliable sources...Gprince007 (talk) 07:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Demi/Selena YouTube Controversy?

In the past week the media has picked up on a YouTube video created by Miley Cyrus and her best friend Mandy Jiroux. The video is a parody of a video created by fellow Disney stars Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. In the video, Called 'the Miley and Mandy Show!!!! Is my makeup to dark?', Cyrus and Jiroux mock Gomez and Lovato. Although the video created by Miley and Mandy was uploaded on March 14, 2008 the media has only recently decided to make it public.

On March 15, 2008, Cyrus and Jiroux uploaded another video on their account called 'The Miley and Mandy Show! Thankyou to the fans!' In the video the girls stated that Selena and Demi and Miley are all close friends and the Disney channel and they would never have wanted to hurt them. Jiroux also mentioned that they think that they[Selena & Demi] are beautiful and so talented. The Thankyou to the fans video description stated:

Thanking the fans and filling them in on future videos as well as letting them know about the friendship between them and Selena and Demi!

I do believe that the reason the media has not noted the Thankyou to the fans video is because The parody video has 4million views to the Thankyou to the fans 1 million.

Do you think this story is necessary to be put under the "Controversies" Section? Links: The Miley and Mandy Show!!!!

Wikipedia policy on biographies

this is really a puff piece isn't it - and veers on teensploitation... the poor little girl is entitled to a life and privacy. Should we have wiki articles about minors? My view is no.Excalibur (talk) 00:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She's obviously notable, and there is plenty of press coverage. I mean, it's not like she's trying to keep a low profile. J.delanoygabsadds 00:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If she was my daughter, I wouldn't allow her to do this promotional stuff. She is still a child. Who is using who, and who is making money from the kid? She should be in school, not on Wikipedia, IMHO. Excalibur (talk) 00:24, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What you would allow your own daughter to do really doesn't have anything to do with how this subject's life has gone so far. As it stands now, she clearly meets the notability guidelines. If you think there shouldn't be articles on minors, WT:BIO would probably be a better forum...although I doubt you'll find much support there. --OnoremDil 00:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) Look, she's a minor. Her parents have to have given their consent for what she's done, or at the very least, they gave consent for her agent to act as a proxy guardian. I wouldn't, and I don't think there are many people who would let their daughters do what Miley Cyrus has done, but that is irrelevant. Obviously, Cyrus' parents let her do those things. As far as her privacy goes, no one forced her to do what she does. In addition, Wikipedia can only draw on existing materials published by third-party source for the content of this article, so we are not the ones to complain to. J.delanoygabsadds 00:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I had never heard of her until twenty minutes ago, and as far as I can see, minors should be protected from commercial exploitation by their parents and anyone else regardless of notability. If my kids had her fathers PR machine behind them, they would be notable too - she just isn't old enough to be in control of the beast. She is being used... for profit... that's clear. I thought Wikipedia had very tough policies on biogs of living persons, but in this case I think we are failing to protect a minor from teensploitation, and that bothers me. Shes a kid for chrissake! Excalibur (talk) 00:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miley Cyrus is very well known. A Google search for the exact phrase "Miley Cyrus" returns more than 29 million results. A Google News search returns 5,500 results. She stars in one of the most popular shows aimed at kids, Hannah Montana (The first episode of that show attracted more than five million viewers). She is definitely notable, and her privacy is not a consideration here. An actress, by the nature of the profession, has to give up some of their privacy, and we have not unreasonably intruded into Cyrus' personal life in this article. Besides, everything in the article was already published somewhere else. J.delanoygabsadds 01:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was a pretty well-known newspaper delivery boy in my neighborhood at her age, and I acquired the Queen Scout or Eagle Scout award at that age. So are we defining notability by income here? As a charity, is that what we value as notable? If so, maybe I should quietly just leave the project...Excalibur (talk) 01:32, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We are defining notability based on the guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability. Specifically, since this is a biographical article about a singer and actress, we are defining notability based on Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles and Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Entertainers. Cyrus easily meets the criteria set forth by those pages. As a newspaper carrier and recipient of an Eagle Scout award, you would unquestionably not meet any of those criteria, so your comparison is not a valid one. J.delanoygabsadds 01:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Further explanation (somewhat simpler one) as to where Excalibur's explanation falls apart: There is a MAJOR difference between being notable locally and notable on a national (and/or international) scale as Miley is. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 16:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Front image

I think that this image is much better than the other images we have. J.delanoygabsadds 19:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The PNG should be used because it is easier on the eyes and is better quality. XxJoshuaxX (talk) 19:26, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The PNG version isn't better quality, it's lightning is hiding the real lightning as you can see by Image:Mileydog.PNG and then see Image:Miley Cyrus.jpeg which isn't hiding the lightning. --Kanonkas :  Talk  19:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Still,the PNG looks better. XxJoshuaxX (talk) 19:36, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As the uploader of the original PNG, I think it looks better as well.--CyberGhostface (talk) 02:48, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Would be nice with more opinions, as User:XxJoshuaxX has been blocked as a sockpuppet. --Kanonkas :  Talk  10:04, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If there are no other objections to add this image I'll add it as it's 2 against 1 on adding this image (not counting the sockpuppet). Thanks, --Kanonkas :  Talk  09:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Typo under Touring

Just a note to someone with edit access, there is a typo in the "touring" section where the date of the Disney Channel release of Miley's tour should be 2008 rather than 2009. This is clear when checked via internet sources and by the past tense used within the text. Rack88 (talk) 23:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Next time u can do it urself. Remember to be BOLD while editing. Gprince007 (talk) 05:12, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miley Cyrus Married??? With a Kid???????

Ok so someone told me that miley is married and she already has a baby...is this true?? It was acctually in the news paper today! i think you should mention it!

That gotta be the most ridiculuos thing i heard....your "someone" is not a Reliable source. Pls provide sources and the link of the newspaper where u read it....In the absence of reliable sources, these statements can be considered libelious. Gprince007 (talk) 01:12, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

total lie, though there were some FALSE rumors that miley was pregnant (Mini no ipod (talk) 15:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Controversy Section

There are way more things that need to be said in that section. There is the candy thing with her friend, the shower pictures, the Selena/Demi thing, and more. Should we add them???

The abovesaid incidents have not had any serious impact on her career or her personal life ....so it's just tabloid fodder which i believe doesnt warrant any mention in an encyclopedic article. Gprince007 (talk) 15:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the shower photo shouldn't be mentioned, or it should be mentioned that a series of constant photos has been leaked on the internet of cyrus wearing revealing clothes etc. don't mention each individual set of photos. But I do think the Selena/Demi thing should be mentioned as its mentioned on selenas page. But when somebody writes it is NEEDs to be stated that Miley and Selena have both talked about it and there is no rivalry and the video was made in MARCH, yet the media picked it up in JULY. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiah12345 (talkcontribs) 09:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the pictures that were hacked should be there. They were taken privately, and I understand that. But, Vanessa Hudgens Wikipedia page has a Controversy section, which only talks about her PRIVATE pictures, as well. It is very similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.84.95 (talk) 01:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, yes, I do agree with you. The hacked photos was a subheading under the controversy section, but was later removed. Now the controversies has been tagged for merging with other sections to make a more neutral presentation. How is this to be done? --Tiah12345 (talk) 09:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rumors

I think we should have a rumors section duo to all the many rumors like her getting pregnant and that she hates demi and selena and that she is married or whatever —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.140.46.83 (talk) 19:29, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:CBALL which states "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation" also see reliable sources which want a reliable source to report such things and verifiable sources. If you have any questions I can try to answer them. Regards, --Kanonkas :  Talk  11:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
