Miley Cyrus considered for Time magazine Person of the Year
Miley Cyrus has found herself among world leaders and humanitarians on Time magazine's Person of the Year shortlist.
The pop star recently came third in the publication's online Person of the Year vote, thanks in part to mischievous hackers and her army of fans - and now editors have decided she should be considered for the coveted cover of the end-of-year issue.
Cyrus will face off with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, Amazon
CEO Jeff Bezos, Pope Francis, President Barack Obama and Iranian
leader President Hassan Rouhani for the title.
Obama was named Time's Person of the Year in 2012.
Readers voted Egypt’s Defence Minister General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi
the Person of the Year online. He beat out Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Time magazine's official Person of the Year will be announced on
Wednesday (11Dec13).
Meanwhile, there's more good news for Miley - MTV has named her the
Artist of the Year.
The 21 year old raised eyebrows and hit the headlines at the MTV
Video Music Awards in August (13) when she twerked and gyrated
through a raunchy dance routine with Robin Thicke wearing nothing
but rubber underwear.
