Okay, I don't watch a lot of these interview shows because they bore me (in general).
And Ellen is sometimes the exception to the rule, depending on who she has on.
But ... why the hell wouldn't Ellen get off that subject?! Why should anyone HAVE to answer that question? Especially a minor. She wouldn't let up, and then she had the gaul to get an irritated look on her face when this famous tweener wouldn't answer the personal question.
Granted Miley's "giggling" was juvenile... and she IS a juvenile... but that immature response was a lot nicer than looking Ellen directly in the eye and saying, "F*ck off, it's none of your business!"
... which I think Ellen definitely deserved to hear, right then. I understand what you're saying, I really do, but at the same time... interviewers (Ellen, Oprah, and otherwise) ask celebrities about their romantic relationships allll the time. I feel like, if Miley really wants to be in the limelight, she NEEDS to learn to handle this kind of thing. A simple "I'm sorry, I really would rather not talk about this as it's personal to me" would have sufficed.
Again, I agree that it would have been nice if Ellen had backed off, but the thing is most celebrities would have ASKED her to back off. Miley didn't- she just got completely weird and awkward, which I think would kind of cause
anyone to kind of go "... oookay, so is he your boyfriend or isn't he?", you know what I mean? Giving completely random body language and giggling like that is NOT the way to send signals that you don't want to talk about something. And she needs to realize that. I'm sorry, I know she's only 15, but a 15 year old is, what, a sophomore in high school? I KNOW that even I, an
extremely awkward person, would have been able to handle the situation a little better than THAT, even at that age. It's not THAT young.
I just feel like she needs to LEARN these things- not be protected from them- if she wants to continue in the entertainment industry. Otherwise she's going to end up being 25 or 30 and making a COMPLETE fool of herself all over the place whenever anyone asks her about her relationships. It's FINE not to want to talk about it, but
learn how to say that, don't just go bazurk on the interviewer and expect them to know that what you really are asking is for them to stop.
Just my opinion :)
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
