Hannah Montana Premieres

Last night Miley and her dad Billy Ray Cyrus arrived at the Hannah Montana: The Movie premiere at the El Capitan in Hollywood.

No, this isn’t the most flattering picture of Miley, but it absolutely melted our heart.

What people seem to forget, and this photo reminded us of, is that Miley’s just a 16-year-old girl growing up in the middle of the celebrity maelstrom.

Before the premiere, Miley was interviewed by Ryan Seacrest on his radio show yesterday and she was very candid, saying in ten years she want to be “a soccer mom slash Posh Spice.”

Ryan asked how Billy Ray felt about her 20-year-old boyfriend Justin Gaston and she said, “Well, actually my dad introduced us. I love him. He is a very good man. He’s older but he is so nice, he’s a gentlemen and he’s a good Christian boy.”

Then Ryan asked if she had plans to marry Justin and she said, “If he gets a pretty ring.”

Within minutes, that little comment blew up in her face and she immediately had to send out a Twitter saying, “I am NOT getting married! I’m 16 and super focused on my career and just livinnggg life! I was kidding on Seacrest!!!! Ha-ha! A joke!”

People need to cut Miley some slack.
