Miley Cyrus in Dublin blasts Madonna, Angelina Jolie for parading kids in public

Miley Cyrus, daughter of singer Billy Ray Cyrus, has been in the public eye herself from a young age.

The teen superstar Miley Cyrus said she disapproves of how Madonna and Angelina put their kids in front of the camera yesterday.

In an interview for Irish TV that will air on Monday the young singer criticized the two older superstars for placing their children in the public eye. Cyrus “really disagrees with it,” she told Lisa Cannon on an Irish celebrity TV show, according to Ireland's Evening Herald.

Cyrus herself is daughter of singer/actor Billy Ray Cyrus. She first auditioned for her part in "Hannah Montana" when she was 11 years old.

The children have no say in the matter, she added in her critique of Angelina and Madonna.

In contrast, she said Lady GaGa was her inspiration. When they met recently in Blackpool, England, the flamboyant singer gave Cyrus some good advice. "She told me to be whoever I want to be," the singer said.

Cyrus was doing a string of interviews while she stays in Dublin. Last night she appeared in a pre-recorded interview on the Late Late Show with Ryan Tubridy.

The 17-year-old star has been spotted shopping in Dublin, and she said she has been "very impressed the way no one hassles me here."

She also spoke about her heart condition, tachycardia, which she has had since birth, and said that because of it she has to try not to get stressed. Before her Dublin gigs she fed the ducks and took a stroll around St. Stephen’s Green to relax.

Yet the “Hannah Montana” star has an intense schedule lined up. As well as giving interviews she played two gigs in Dublin as part of her Wonder World tour, and over the next 10 days she performs in London, Birmingham and Manchester.

Angelina and Madonna sure do have enough money to definitely share with poor children who have nothing-the only thing is there are so many poor forster children here for them to share there wealth with?? I think they put them in the spotlight for there own benefit - to make themselves look good and appear in the paper-- They act like they are hands on - definitely doubt that- they could do whatever they want and go wherever they want- They have so much money-Really all these kids are stressing them out-I don't think so-- I do believe every one with all that money should help poor children live -- that is great- just start here in your own country!! No need to travel money bags -- Help us first-- (Oh and by the way I always said Angelina is going to chew Brad up and spit him out!!) Poor Brad has no chance with that one!! You already look worn down-worst you ever looked in your life!! Life was good with SWEET Jennifer back in the day!! -- You are now with a Maneater(everyone else man that is)-- S

Aaah now c’mon ppl! Spartigus made fair points. But I think Spartigus missed the big point – miley is a marketed person – nowhere real yet in her own life and possibly may never be (Gawd forbid!). Anyone who spends money on her cds, concerts and downloads stuff is wasting money, really giving it to marketing business people (read commercial pimps) instead of charity. Great to have free choices, great free country, isn’t it? Pinch the pimps. Hard. Very hard. Don’t fall for miley’s commercial machine.

Miley needs to learn to respect her elders. She puts her foot in her mouth almost everytime she opens it. Angelina and Madonna don't need her advice to raise their children. If Lady Gaga is her hero, she has a whole new set of issues to deal with. Spratigus needs to get real.

I think there are a lot of people out there making a lot of judgements about a person they know absolutly nothing about other then she sings, acts, and does TV shows. Now I admit that she has no right to slam others, however just because she was put into the public eye when she was younger does not mean she can't change her mind as she grows older and matures in her thinking that it may not be the best thing to do. Everyone has the right to thier opinion in this country that's what makes it the greatest country in the world. Miley might dress a bit provocatively I agree, but does that have to be the center of everyones focus on this article which has absolutly nothing to do with how she's dressed in the first place? Do we really need to slam her for it? and I wonder how many of you out there writing about the way she is dressed are dressed in a simular manner. I see it everywhere on all ages and so be it, it the right of every american to express themselves as they see fit. Do I agree with Miley? No I do not, But will I slam her for expressing how she feels? No I will not,anymore then I would slam any of you for your expressions but I think calling her every name in the book is not going to change a thing. There are better ways to make your point then slamming it home by tearing her down.

As the Irish people have a genuine sense of fun, Irish entertainment can be found in every town, village, city and county. One of the most popular forms is the festival, which is used to celebrate all sorts of occasions &emdash; everything from literary pursuits to a love of oysters. Here are a few highlights of entertainment in Ireland throughout the year: Londonderry boasts the biggest Halloween Festival in the world with around 30,000 celebrating the ancient Celtic New Year every October. Grab a dodgy mask and join the party! / The Belfast Festival at Queen’s is Ireland’s biggest International Festival and boasts an eclectic mix of music, talks, comedy, exhibitions and film. / The Galway Races, the Rose of Tralee Festival, Puck Fair in Killorglin, and the Oul’ Lammas Fair in Ballycastle are world famous and offer a great chance to enjoy Irish entertainment, life and laughs with the locals. / Food festivals are now a big draw in Ireland with local produce scoring high among international foodies. Head to the famous oyster festivals in Clarenbridge in Galway, or Hillsborough, County Down. / Tune in to a spot of music with the Open House Festival in Belfast, the Waterford International Festival of Light Opera, or the Feile an Phobail in west Belfast. Or grab a pint and tap your feet to some cool tunes at the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival. / If you prefer your festivals small and intimate, try the harp festivals in Roscommon or the rough and ready horse and pony fairs from Cavan to Cork. Even today, the horses are priced in guineas, and bought and sold with a spit in the hand. / At the other end of the scale of entertainment in Ireland lies the Wexford Opera Festival with full-scale opera productions, concerts, recitals, talks, cabaret, fireworks, and, of course, parties. / For something a little different, try the Magnus Barelegs Festival in Downpatrick offering a slice of Viking life, or the Eagle Wing Festival in Groomsport, County Down, which celebrates Ireland’s cultural links with America. / Theater fans should head to Dublin for both the Dublin Theatre Festival and the excellent Dublin Fringe Festival, with wildly exciting performances taking place in fabulous venues. / Around March 17, the country turns a shade of green for a host of St Patrick’s Festivals. All over the country, from the Saint’s hallowed burial place in Downpatrick to the more carnival atmosphere of parades and exceptional fireworks in Dublin and Belfast. / Literary lovers should head to Dublin in June for the intriguing Bloomsday Festival, where fans of Joyce’s Gargantuan Ulysses dress up in traditional gear and scoff old Dublin food like “nutty gizzards” and “urine-soaked kidneys”. Alternatively, seek out the delights of the Aspects Literature Festival in Bangor in September, an annual celebration of Irish literature with lectures, discussion and music. But festivals are just one aspect of Irish entertainment—let's not forget about music! From impromptu sessions in your local bar to the thrilling beat of U2, Ireland has always been home to the best sounds of music. Ireland’s massive successes in the Irish entertainment world include some bands and artists you may have heard of…U2, The Corrs, Enya, Westlife, Snow Patrol, Ash, David Holmes, Van Morrison and The Thrills, to name just a few. Unique and distinctive, the harp holds a special place in Irish entertainment and has come to symbolize the harmony of people and music in Ireland. It’s the earliest musical instrument mentioned in Irish literature and has been used as an official emblem for Ireland since medieval times. Today, it’s on Irish passports and stamps. But there's more: Fleadhs, or festivals, are a major part of Irish entertainment as well as cultural life, and impromptu trad sessions have become the stuff of legend at West Belfast’s Feile an Phobail, the Galway Racing Festival or Kerry’s Puck Fair. Rock and dance music festivals are also big news with the Oxegen Festival, Tennents Vital Belfast and the Electric Picnic held in summer.
