HAHAHA! The Onion is too funny! How do the "commentators" do that shtick with a straight face! Fear not, Miley Cyrus will "morph" into another "pop tart" like Brittany, Paris, Lindsay,...! The "regenerated" Miley will be good for paparazzi mining for another 5-8 years after her metamorphosis!
Teen artisit falls to stardom too easily can be very dangerous.
Famous at the outside but shrink in the inside.
it is even catastroph if teenage artist cannot handle the overwhelming imbalance, like Britney and even Michael Jackson.
I hope she will be an exception out of this prophesy.

I love that term, "entertainment scientists". There is no such thing. And as far as Miley being played out, that is no big thing either. I can't believe they are giving her another 4 years. She is just like any other kiddie/teen star there ever was. They only last as long as their original audience stays down with them. The next generation of little ones will have new idols, and as the previous generation grows up, they will lose interest in their old teen idols. It is a process that goes back as far as I can remember. I could name dozens of old teen stars that faded fast after a few albums because their audience grew up. Here are just a few:
New Kids on the Block
N-Sync( with the exception of Timberlake, who managed to dive into a different demographic)
Debbie Gibson (remember her, most don't)
Britany Spears (fading fast, once the media let's her go, she is done)
Lyndsey Lohan (fading fast, once the media let's her go, she is done)
The list goes on and on. Another group I expect to see come crashing down in a few years is the Jonas Brothers. Talk about a group built on one demographic. I have never even heard any of their music on the radio yet, they are the biggest thing to the kiddies since Wonder Bread. 3 nominally talented kids just having the time of their lives and I have no problem with that. But they will never be legends, and their time will pass just like Miley's. Very few artists out there have actual staying power that transends the generation gap. And those that do will be the ones we remember. Miley will not be one of them.
I agree! In her concert in Ireland one of the reporters noticed that all the audience was like 7-12 year old girls and miley came on stage dressed way to sexy for that age group and rocked out her music the reporter notice the all the little girls not to overexcited until she did ho down show down or whatever it's called then they started jumping up and down and going crazy! they want Hannah Montana not Miley, I give her another year at most until she another has been. She might get some work for a little bit but nothing will ever match the success disney created for her. Sad but disney will find the next IT GIRL for the kiddies and Miley will be forgotten
When it comes to teen stars I keep thinking of the "Logan's Run" joke involving MTV VJs. Can't remember if it was on The Simpsons or Family Guy. VJ girl has a thing on her hand that starts flashing. Two guys in "Logan's Run" shirts come to take her away as she screams she's still young, and then is replaced by a younger girl. She's almost 18. She'll be out from under mom and dad's thumb and will become the next subject of TMZ photos as she staggers drunk or high with her boobs hanging out and her kitty popping out from under her skirt.
