How Can Tweens Think Miley's Worse Than Kanye?

Why have the tweens suddenly turned on Miley Cyrus? There was just a survey calling her a bad influence.
—Forlu, via the Answer B!tch inbox
Like I KNOW, RIGHT? Especially because every single one of the people who voted in that survey on AOL is probably listening to "Party in the USA" right now. (And yes, Madison, Hailey, Breanna, Chloe and Zoe—I am talking to you.)
Given the raging success of the Hannah Montana movie and other Miley Cyrus juggernauts, it may seem odd that the tweens of America have suddenly decided to eat their own. They voted her their worst celebrity influence, just ahead of Britney Spears and Kanye West.

Will Fans Punish Kanye West—or Totally Not?

Will Kanye suffer from any real repercussions for upstaging Taylor Swift at the VMAs?
—SpikeESpikes, via Twitter
Please. Kanye West fans are Kanye West fans only partly because of his boppy music and his candylike sunglasses collection and his propensity for glow-in-the-dark stunts. Kanye fans also love him because he is a raging egomaniac. And in dissing Taylor Swift at the VMAs—during her acceptance speech, no less—he just gave those fans more of what they crave.
In fact, here's a theory that's bound to get the Swift fans steaming in their Frye boots...
Are People Finally Getting Sick of Kanye?

I hear Kanye's HBO show is in trouble. Are people finally getting tired of his egomaniacal behavior? Is he the next Diddy, a rapper known for antics rather than music?
—Carlton, Edison, N.J.
Not likely. Yes, Kanye West is his own Jesus, Lord and Savior. He made his fans wait for hours at the Bonnaroo festival. He threw a tantrum after last year's VMAs. The poor folks who work for him probably entertain suicide fantasies while their boss blogs about lighting fixtures and mulls new ways to enrage 50 Cent. But Kanye is also one of the biggest, most respected names in hip-hop.
"Love Lockdown" is tied for the second-highest chart debut of 2008, and his Glow in the Dark concert tour was seen as one of the highlights of 2008—and of his career so far.
But is Kanye having trouble expanding his empire into television? Maybe...
A-List Secrets: Yes, Stars Really Love Themselves

Do most (if not all) celebrities think they are better than normal people?
—T. Lucas, Toledo, OH
Certainly not. Kanye West just likes to refer to himself as the new Kurt Cobain and "one of the more important people in pop culture" to see if you're listening. He really hates himself and thinks he's fat and wears those candy-colored polo shirts to punish himself.
Of course celebrities think they're better than everybody else. And before you decide that's just an opinion, I've got real proof. Read on.
