CNN names Miley Cyrus one of most provocative celebrities of 2010: Is Miley breaking out of Disney shell?

Young teen singing sensation Miley Cyrus has had quite a year for herself. On the verge of adulthood, the former Disney star clearly took steps in removing herself from her sweet and demure “Hannah Montana” alter ego. Because of her actions during the year, CNN pronounced Miley Cyrus as “provactive.”

While the ultimate prize for Most Provocative Celebrity did not eventually go to Miley Cyrus (that honor went to raw meat dress-wearing singing sensation Lady Gaga), young Miley clearly went out of her way to distance herself from her former life as a Disney superstar.

As she went through the year, Miley Cyrus started dressing just a wee bit less conservatively, showing much more skin with skimpy, hip-hugging outfits and plunging necklines.

Her performances at concerts became events that maybe shouldn’t have been seen by pre-teens, or oven teens in some cases, at one point simulating a girl-on-girl kiss during one performance, shades of Madonna and Britney Spears a few years back.

During the release and promotion of her newest album “Can’t Be Tamed,” Miley produced videos which shocked her former fans and showed a very risqué side in several different clips.

Finally, in October, Miley was positively slammed by the Parents Television Council. In their statement, the Council said, “Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly.”

Miley also reeled from the news revealed in late October that her parents, Billy Ray and Tish, are divorcing after 17 years of marriage. Reports have recently surfaced that Miley, who turned 18 just recently, has been acting out and was caught on video smoking Salvia, an LSD-like substance that is not technically illegal in the state of California.

Unfortunately, Miley is not a normal teenager acting out against her parents’ pending divorce. Every move the young superstar makes is heavily scrutinized by every entertainment website and publication on the planet, and her every move is analyzed and discussed ad nauseum.

Miley’s father, Billy Ray, even took to his Twitter account early on Dec. 10, basically saying that he had no idea what his teenage daughter was up to. “Sorry guys. I had no idea. Just saw this stuff for the first time myself. I’m so sad. There is so much beyond my control right now,” Billy Ray Tweeted to his fans.

Miley did face some heavy competition among CNN’s Most Provocative Celebrity List. Along with the aforementioned Lady Gaga, the rehab queen, Lindsay Lohan, made the list, along with partier and hotel room destroyer Charlie Sheen of Two and a Half Men. Actor Mel Gibson made the list as well, still reeling from his 2006 DUI arrest in which he was heard ranting about his hatred of Jews.

While Miley lost the competition, there is still much alarm voiced by her legion of fans, who wonder what the young singing starlet will be up to in 2011.
