Mr. Cyrus

Why give up so soon, Liam? 

Forget the anniversary of the D-Day invasion, forget Scott Walker's victory in Wisconsin, forget that the Dow has had their biggest gain of the year today, there was a more important story today: Miley Cyrus is engaged to her "long time" boyfriend, actor Liam Hemsworth. This is a tough pill to swallow for anyone; hell I never thought Miley would be engaged before me (we're the same age, but I do love the bachelor lifestyle), but there is a high likelihood that she could be divorced before I am married. I guess they can be considered a good couple: young, good looking, fairly popular. Still a few eyebrows have to be raised. Why does a couple whose combined age is 41 feel the need to settle down? There are very few Corey and Topagnas in a generation, and it may be safe to say that Miley and Liam do not have that distinction. My first thought was that Miley's pregnant (c'mon I can't be the only one). 

Over the past few months, pretty much since The Hunger Games was released, there have been reports (from my trusted sources that shall remain nameless) indicating that Miley is-was?-worried with Liam's sudden fame; that he could end up being more famous than her (how dare he!). There were even stories that Miley was jealous of Liam's costar, Jennifer Lawrence, and perhaps that she would steal Liam right from under Miley's nose. Because of these rational fears Miley has gone to great lengths, such as hiring her own personal trainer and the like. So it seems that Miley would benefit the most from this engagement, it puts her troubled soul to rest and now she can get back to doing her mission...a follow up anthem to "Party in the USA." Though this engagement does take away from this "bad girl" image that she has been trying to build recently. 

I guess the question for Liam has to be, why? He seems to be on the brink of stardom and probably will be holding quite a large chunk of the world in his hands soon. He could at least be the next Channing Tatum, a heart throb and make a nice paycheck. So why would Liam want to settle down so soon, he is after all only 22. He seems to be handing over his pants to Miss. Cyrus. Hell, they could continue their same lifestyle without the label; I would think that at some point that Liam and/or Miley would like to see what else is there. I guess all that can be said is, "Oh Well." 

This may seem to be a little harsh, I'm really just trying to create a little conspiracy theory (+200 on pregnancy). The timing is unusual after hearing those previous stories of jealousy, etc. I would like to see Miley and Liam work out for the long haul, to prove that young love can last, to prove the naysayers wrong, and most importantly that they are happy. 

So cheers to you Miley and Liam, with (hopefully) many more years to come.
