It seems like it’s been a while now since the world has gotten a good Miley Cyrus scandal and I’m pretty happy about that. I think a lot of the scandals she’s been involved in have been way over played. The whole weed thing? Who cares. There are a lot of people her age that like to indulge in the stuff from time to time and if that’s the worst thing she’s doing, I’m fine with it. I don’t buy into the “weed is a gateway drug” hype. I know a lot of people who have smoked pot for years yet have never moved on to harder stuff. It’s all about the decisions you make. I personally don’t like weed. I don’t like the smell, I don’t like the taste and I don’t like the way it makes me feel, but if Miley wants to take a puff off a joint or take a hit from a bong, that’s her business. As for these photos, I gotta say I’m a fan. I’ve always been a fan of Miley’s candid pictures because they give us the chance to see a bit of who Miley really is. I’d also like to state for the record that I don’t believe for a minute that Miley is anorexic. Maybe she’s lost weight, but we’ve also seen pictures of her going into Pilates classes. Stands to reason that she might slim down with the whole working out thing. I think she looks healthy in these pictures. She might look a little slimmer than she used to be but not in an unhealthy way. Also, her dog is freaking adorable. Love these photos and wish Miley nothing but the best.

I often say I prefer the more casual, candid pics of Miley Cyrus to her more glammed up shots but these pictures taken outside Miley’s Pilates class in Hollywood are a nice compromise. She looks a little more dressed up than she has looked in other Pilates class pictures we’ve seen but to be honest, I can’t imagine this is what she’ll actually be wearing in class. I know some people have been giving Miley a hard time for hitting the street looking a little less than put together. I hope that’s not why she chose to dress it up a little here. I guess in the end it doesn’t matter. She still looks comfortable and happy. I have no problem with that.

Okay now, I have a problem with this pictures but first, I want to take a moment to mention how adorable I think Miley looks. Like I’ve said what feels like a hundred times, I prefer casual Miley over “made up” Miley and these photos – when we can actually see her anyway – are a great example of why. Now, on to my problem. Can we all agree that if a young girl is leaving a pilates class in Beverly Hills covering her face with her sweater that maybe it’s okay to just put the camera down and leave her alone? She clearly doesn’t want her picture taken. Just leave her be.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love casual Miley Cyrus. There’s just something about this girl when she’s just running around town being herself that appeals to me. Here in LA, Miley is the epitome of casual. She’s just out shopping in clothes ready for the gym (perhaps her eventual destination) with her hair pulled back in a bun with little or no makeup on and she looks absolutely adorable. When she gets all glammed up for photo shoots, music videos or live performances, I find she loses a lot of that natural appeal and that’s kind of sad. I know she probably doesn’t have a whole lot of say in what she wears in a professional capacity so should anyone ever stumble across this post – somebody that has some say – I offer this; leave Miley alone. Let her wear what she wants to wear. I think the result would be something really appealing and really different than what many of the other starlets out there are doing.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Miley Cyrus in these photos is the Miley Cyrus I love. When she’s all glammed up for videos or live performances, I feel like she’s being so phony – more so than most of the other celebs out there. She just doesn’t strike me as the glamorous type. She seems like a girl who likes to be comfortable and casual. I think that’s why I like these pictures of her leaving Starbucks in Hollywood so much. This is just Miley being Miley. She doesn’t look perfect but she does look like someone I’d like to get a coffee with. She looks like she’s being herself and that’s appealing to me.

Miley Cyrus is like a scandal magnet but I don’t think that’s entirely fair. She’s a young girl doing the things most young girls do. It just so happens she’s doing them in front of the whole world. I honestly couldn’t care less if she likes to smoke weed on occasion. I also like the fact that she mostly tries to keep it under wraps. A lot of people look up to her but what she does behind closed doors is really her business and hey, there are a lot worse things out there she could get sticking her nose in. I’ve been pretty hard on Miley but always about what she chooses to wear on stage or what she chooses to do or say in public. These pictures from Hawaii are some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of Miley. She looks gorgeous and I’m certainly not going to get on her back for flashing a lot of skin at the beach. I’ve always liked candid shots of Miley far more than her publicity photos. It’s nice to see Miley just being Miley instead of trying to be the girl her publicity team wants her to be. I’m not her biggest fan – or even really a fan at all – but I am interested to see what she does with her career from here.
