On television, Disney star Miley Cyrus can flip between her normal self and her Hannah Montana alter ego, just by putting on a blond wig.
On the Internet, the 16 year-old Cyrus also can switch off unwanted public attention, just by deleting her Twitter page, as she did on Thursday, without a clear explanation.
Will Cyrus’ departure herald a celebrity exodus from Twitter? Don’t count on it.
Just this week, Elizabeth Taylor used the website to announce to the world that she was going into the hospital for heart surgery. And even as Cyrus quit the website, “30 Rock” star Tracy Morgan announced that he was joining it Thursday. Why? Because his fans wanted him to, that’s why, Morgan said.
Of course, there is an online campaign to get Cyrus back to Twitter. On Thursday afternoon, “Mileycomeback” was the most active topic on Twitter, meaning some users of the site were typing in those words to call on Cyrus to restart her Twitter page.
Cyrus has a strong force that appears to have pulled her off Twitter. In an article titled “Miley Cyrus Quits Twitter for Boyfriend,” People magazine said that in one of her last Twitter posts, Cyrus wrote, “FYI Liam doesn’t have a Twitter and he wants me to delete mine with good reason.”
Liam Hemsworth is reportedly Miley’s latest boyfriend, and her co-star in upcoming movie “Last Song.”

- Posted by #1 Twitter « Things I Don’t UnderstandI honestly still don’t know exactly what Twitter is. My husband won’t allow me to have it. From what I’ve been told it’s a way to communicate to other people what you are doing throughout the day or to give opinions. I don’t really see the point. If Miley is not twittering then she probably has more time to do things that are far more important or interesting.
- Posted by DFWDeliaShe informed fans on her website Miley World why she quit. She doesn’t owe anyone any explanation. She did not quit because of Liam, how stupid. She quit because of negative comments made on her page daily by people who have nothing better to do then try to beat people down. Good for her. If you want to know what she has to say and when she says it, join her fan club.
- Posted by MelanieWow she just wants attention, plain and simple. it’s the truth! but twitter can say bad things about ppl though.
- Posted by BrittShe needs to do whats best for her. She should not be in the media so much anyways. She is young and I don’t want her to turn out like so many young hollywood people.
- Posted by michele katzerOkay honestly wow its TWITTER. Not a big deal at all. Before twittter was myyearbook before that it was myspace and after twitter there will be something else. It`s NOT the end of the world. If I were her I wouldnt want one either and I don`t have one now. I mean shes kinda famous don`t you think shes a little busy?! I mean honestly people WEIRD!! GET A LIFE!!
- Posted by Samantha FieldsOkay, who cares? She has her reasons, and I’m sure they’re good. Twitter is not life. I do not have a Twitter nor do I plan on getting an account. Leave her alone. She does what she feels is right to do, and I think I’d be insane with people Twittering me all the time, so good for her. Keep the faith, Miley.
