jetYesterday, Miley grabbed an ice-blended at Coffee Bean before boarding a private jet (yes, 16-year-olds have private jets) for New York where she appeared on the Today Show this morning to perform some songs off her upcoming album. Thankfully, this time she left the pole behind.

She didn't come out and admit that that performance may not have been the most tasteful, but she did say, "My mistakes are kind of a little bit harder because they are in front of millions and millions of people. I get to go through that and I get to learn. It’s hard sometimes to smile about it, because half the time, yeah, it does suck to have to go through that. But also it makes you want to try harder the next time when I know that little girls look at me and say I’m their hero.”

Their "hero" also hawked her new Walmart clothing line and her upcoming CD, which she views as a transition between the tween-pop of Hannah Montana and the rock edge of Miley Cyrus.

Not surprisingly, the CD, Time Of Our Lives, is being released at Walmart next week.
