Miley Cyrus seems to be in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. After a series of her revealing pics hit the Internet, the 16 year old actress/singer has been trying to clean up her ‘Lindsay Lohan’ act. She is in the news yet again and this time she has been pulled into the spotlight by fellow singer Jojo, whose R&B number “Leave (get out)” topped the charts in 2004. Jojo claims the lead role Miley is currently playing on Disney show ‘Hannah Montana’ had first been offered to her, but had turned it down because she was more intent solely on a music career.

Miley stars alongside her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, on the show and plays the role of a normal teen who also leads a double-life as a teen singing sensation. The show has brought Miley popularity akin to that which Britney Spears had enjoyed when she first hit the music scene. We all agree that Jojo does not need an acting career to increase her popularity, but would this statement by her start a teen feud with Miley now?
