Moms - hide your sons. Miley Cyrus is officially legal!
The controversial Disney star celebrates her 18th birthday on Tuesday, November 23rd, so in honor of the big day, Breaking Celebrity News has compiled photos of Miley - from her introduction as Hannah Montana, to her sexy Can't be Tamed makeover.
Miley's parents Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus knew that she was born to be a star! Named Destiny Hope at birth, she got the nickname Smiley because she was such a happy child.
From her early years, Miley loved to ham it up in front of the cameras. After taking acting classes as a child, she scored her first role in Tim Burton's 2003 movie Big Fish.
At the age of 11, Miley headed to Hollywood where she was cast in the role of a lifetime, playing the lead role in Hannah Montana.
Miley became a teen idol overnight, as her show premiered to the largest audience in Disney history. With a hit show, sellout concerts and every sort of consumer product imaginable, the young star appeared to be the perfect role mode for the Disney demographic.
