Miley Cyrus is the daughter of American country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus. She stars in the TV show Hannah Montana on the Disney channel. She became a huge star soon after Hannah Montana debuted in March 2006. Miley Cyrus then released a soundtrack CD from the show. She was ranked #17 in the list of Forbes Top Twenty Superstar Earners under the age of 25 with an annual earning of US$3.5 million.

But Miley Cyrus – who turns 16 on Nov. 23 – got an early jump on her birthday celebration Sunday night with a special bash at Disneyland.

“They say it’s the happiest place on Earth,” she said of the themepark, which was shut down exclusively for her.

The evening started with Cyrus and pals like Tyra Banks, David Archuleta and Demi Lovato strolling down a large purple carpet.

Cyrus's new beau, Justin Gaston, avoided the carpet crush – but he emerged onstage to help open up for the Hannah Montana star. The guitar playing Gaston joined Cyrus’s dad, Billy Ray, and older sis Brandi to sing “Achy Breaky Heart.”

Thanx 158 for this article.

I'm going to have a birthday 7 weeks early too. Maybe I'll have my 50th birthday this year too.

Wow. I don't know how I would deal with celebrity fame. Very good question.

It would be hard for any of us to deal with that kind of fame. In 5 years we should know if she can handle it.

Well this is Miley Cyrus at the VMA's and she arrived with the one the only KATY PERRY! Miley was stunning in this black sequined dress and when she was talking to Taylor Swift ( rumored to be dating Mr. Joe Jonas ) about fashion there was a little misfunction! it was something about a spider or a bug on her, but everything turned out fine and she was amazing!
