Miley Cyrus Has Gaudiest Sweet 16 Ever

by Matt Muro

Miley Cyrus doesn’t turn 16 until Nov. 23, but that didn’t stop her daddy Billy Ray Cyrus from shutting down Disneyland last night so that friends and fans could pay $250 each to attend her birthday party. The event, dubbed “Miley’s Sweet 16 — Share the Celebration,” was attended by 5,000 people (that’s $1,250,000 — if you’re counting).

In return for the price of admission, party-goers were treated to a pop concert extravaganza that included a whopping FOUR songs by the birthday girl herself, who donned a white frilly mini-skirt and a vest with “Sweet 16″ printed on the back. Also, several of Disneyland’s big rides were kept open for Miley’s very near and dear guests, including Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean.

For most people, however, the highlight of the night was probably star watching (unless that “Hannah Montana makeover” activity was a real blast). Celebrities like Steve Carell, Jennie Garth, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt entered the party on a “purple carpet” — purple is, like, Miley’s fav color!

For any “Joe Six-Packs” from “Main Street” who couldn’t scrape up the money to get in, there was a big fireworks display above Sleeping Beauty Castle. We’re sure it was visible from outside the gates. [Photo: WireImage]
