Will Miley Cyrus' Career Cave Because Of The Scandal? Or Will It Just Fuel The Hannah Montana Fever?

Miley Cyrus has been considered a worldwide success and international star at the age of 15. She has three albums on the Billboard 200, a box office hit with a recent concert film, a sold-out 2007 tour, as well as a hugely popular television show. But in the face of so many scandals... will her career take a dive? Or will it just make her even more famous?

History shows that one tragedy after another has led to the downfall of stars the likes of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Yet again, those who are boring like Hilary Duff aren't doing too well either. So when you have publicity - whether good or bad, doesn't necessarily do you harm. Will this prove true for Miley Cyrus?

I think so. Even if the parents of this younger generation find her character "unbecoming" for a role model for children I'm pretty sure the more mature and hormone-driven teen-agers will welcome her with open arms if they aren't already following her many scandalous photos.

If there is one ounce of talent in her - which I'm pretty sure she does, she will transition to more adult roles. In the meantime though, people are talking about her and this is excellent marketing. It may not be good news so if parents will shell the money for their kids to buy her albums, we'll have to wait and see for the stats to come out.

But my bet is that she will more than ever, be a success. Think Madonna - she has always been controversial and she's still here now

Hilary Duff On The Competition. What Hilary Duff Had To Say About Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus And Lindsay Lohan

I don't know about you but although many people say Hilary Duff is a good girl I also think she's the boring girl. Come on... I'd rather have somebody we can actually talk about like Miley Cyrus always seeming to appear half naked in every photo opportunity or Avril Lavigne who's either stealing music or qualifying for "worst dressed of the year award" and then there's the ever loyal patron of rehabilitation - Lindsay Lohan. You have to admit, the more people talk about them, the more popular they remain...

And so over to the boring er I mean non-controversial Hilary Duff. I have to give it to her though, she does look hot. She just has to work her PR person a lot more. What she had to say was pretty straight forward on Allure Magazine's interview per People.com

• On Lindsay Lohan: "Supposedly, I stole Lindsay Lohan's boyfriend [Aaron Carter.] We were, like, 13! And I've never stolen anyone's boyfriend! I don't know how you do that! . . . She was talking about it and I wasn't. It made us both look bad and put up a big weirdness. Really she was just a girl my age. We are fine now, by the way."


• On Miley Cyrus: "We don't have each other's phone numbers. But when she meets me, she's excited. It's cute – I see a lot of myself in her."


• On Avril Lavigne: "I said something about how she didn't like her fans dressing like her, and how she should appreciate that because it's a compliment. She called me a goody-goody [Lavigne called Duff a 'mommy's girl' in Newsweek] Everyone is trying to prove who they are, and their position. So, I'm 'the good girl.' She's 'the bad girl' or 'the party girl.' Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't take her clothes off, but she's not a 'good girl.' [Adult actors] don't get tagged like we do."
