Despite protests from her fans, Miley Cyrus has deleted her Twitter account. The 16-year-old singer quit the social-networking site, popular among celebrities, after having amassed more than 2 million followers. After signing off for the last time, she posted an explanation on her website. “How can I whine about my life being too public if I’m the one telling the world what I am doing?” she asked. She also said, “I just think kids all over the world could use a little vacation from cyberspace.”
