Spring Break
Juicy: Drinking himself to non-boyfriend material for Cyrus

On the surface, Cody Linley is the perfect boyfriend for Miley Cyrus.
The 18-year-old hunk is Cyrus' co-star on Hannah Montana, and from what Cyrus has said, she's absolutely smitten with his boyish good looks and manly physique. According to Hollywood.com, Cyrus once said "He is so much fun to look at. He's really fun and down-to-earth. And he's hot!"
Hold your horses, there, Miley. There's a reason why Linley is so "fun" and "down-to-earth." It's called alcohol.
Linley, also a contestant on the new season of Dancing with The Stars, spent his weekend puking into cocktail glasses and grabbing the rear-ends of several women when he went out with his Dancing with The Stars friends.
According to Cyrus, the last time Linley freaked out, he just kept looking down (he was so drunk he couldn't hold his head up). He st-st-stuttered when she asked him what he was thinking about (naturally, in the state Linley was in, forming coherent sentences was a bit much to ask). He felt like he couldn't breathe (a serious sign of alcohol poisoning), and when Miley asked what's wrong with him, her best friend Leslie said "Oh, he's just being Cody."
The next time they hang out, however, Linley vows to redeem himself.
And here comes the sad part: Miley's heart can't rest till then. Whoa Whoa, she can't wait to see him again.
In my line of work, I've seen this all too much. I've sat back and watched celebrities like Cyrus - young, blossoming women with the world in their palms - fall for has-been losers like Linley.
Sure, Linley may be a catch right now. It might be fun for Cyrus to go out to clubs, get blackout drunk and then go back to his parents' house and hold hands - but that's going to get old once the alcohol catches up with Linley.
That rippling six-pack will turn to a layer of skin and beer. His sexy, dirty blonde hair will start falling out by the time he's 20. His happy-go-lucky personality will morph into one dominated by violence, aggression and poor decision-making.
Ever seen the movie "Just Friends?" If you haven't, shame on you, and if you have, then you know what I'm talking about. Amy Smart's ex-boyfriend was the superstar jock in high school, the macho man, if you will. Ten years later he was a fat, balding drunk who still wore his letterman jacket.
Linley - like many others - is taking the exact same path. It's because of low-life's like him that we walk the streets and see works of beauty like Cyrus kissing overweight, sloppy excuses for boyfriends. Linley is putting Cyrus under a spell that could doom her for life. Once she falls for him, there's no going back.
And that's why I send this message to Miley: don't sell yourself short. You are an incredible human being. There are plenty of single, 21-year-old sports editors out there who won't self-destruct like Linley.
