For weeks, THG has been offering Miley Cyrus advice: put on pants, cut out the desperate antics, focus on country music – and shut up.
But what do we know about it? We’re simply a (very attractive) celebrity gossip blog. We can’t relate to the life of a teenage celebrity.
Kellie Martin can, however. The actress rose to fame on the sitcom Life Goes On and has remained grounded, most recently recurring on ER as the character of Lucy Knight and guest-starring on episodes of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice.
Asked by Fancast.com if she had any advice for Miley, Martin replied:
“Go to college. I really think that saved me. Fred [Savage] went to Stanford, Mayim [Bialik] went to UCLA, I went to Yale… It’s really, really important to get an education because when all of this is gone, then at least you have your education.”
Martin appears to be a fan of Miley’s, adding: “She’s wildly talented, little Miley Cyrus, and she has a sweet family. If she went to college, she’d be totally set. She’d be set forever.”
It’s true that none of the childhood stars cited above have been arrested, gone bankrupt or had compromising photos of themselves released online.
Wouldn’t it be great if Cyrus followed the advice? It’s just a shame no one offered it to Lindsay Lohan.
