Miley Cyrus was busy over the weekend, remaking her look. She cut her hair into a chin-length style that makes her look older and sleeker. But not all her fans were approving. Miley, 19, who says she is all about experimenting, showed off her new look on Twitter over the weekend, and asked for her fans’ opinions. “Got ANOTHER hair cut! You likey?!” she Tweeted.
Miley seemed a little surprised when her many of her fans thought it was too short. “All y’all are saying its soooo short! Only cut about an inch & a half off tonight! In total about 5 inches!!! I love it! So liberating!” she wrote.
The move is similar to one made by Emma Watson. The UK star cut her hair into a short bob to separate herself from her long-running character in the “Harry Potter” movies. The teen singer’s mid-shoulder length hair has been one of her trademarks ever since her days as Disney television star Hannah Montana. But Miley has been out to remake her image since leaving the show.
Her desire for a more adult profile may have been one of the reasons she passed on a role as the voice of Dracula’s teenage daughter Mavis in a new Sony animation Hotel Transylvania, starring Adam Sandler. The part has reportedly gone to Selena Gomez.
Selena is also trying to transition into an adult career after her Disney Series “The Wizards of Waverly Place,” ended last year. She’s currently on tour in South America. She added purple extension to her hair for the trek.
Both teen stars hope to redirect their careers into acting. Cyrus will appear on the big screen with Demi Moore in the movie “LOL: Laughing Out Loud,’ which is set for release later this year.
A scene in the film showing Miley smoking marijuana was cut after a video circulated over the Internet in December 2010 showing Cyrus smoking the psychoactive plant salvia.
