Cyrus blasts 'trashy' gossip sites

Miley Cyrus has blasted "trash" websites which report about her private life.

Speaking at the UK press conference for Hannah Montana: The Movie, the 16-year-old said that she wished "for gossip sites to go away".

Cyrus took issue with gossip sites that focus on famous people's weight, saying that they have a bad influence on young readers.

"I think they're so hard, not only on the celebrities but the kids as well [reading it]," she commented. "They're starting to see people... I mean, I am normal, if I was any smaller I would be too skinny, if I was any bigger I'd be too fat.

"There's never perfect. If they see that, or me on the red carpet and think, 'That's what I'm supposed to look like'. I think it all gets people mixed up. I think it's all kind of trash."

Hannah Montana: The Movie is out in cinemas this Friday.
