"Oh, what might have been! Following a slew of titillating previews, Miley: The Movement, Miley Cyrus&amp;apos; behind-the-scenes, confessional documentary, debuted at long last on MTV on Wednesday, Oct. 2. In the hour-long special,  the 20-year-old superstar allows cameras to follow her in the months leading up to her now-legendary MTV Video Music Awards performance -- which, had the former Disney starlet had her way, would been even a topless affair. Cyrus revealed the tidbit to collaborator and idol Britney Spears, of all people.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;You&amp;apos;re not going to be topless onstage, are you?&amp;quot; a concerned Spears, 31, asked of the then-upcoming VMAs show. &amp;quot;I tried but I don&amp;apos;t think MTV&amp;apos;s going to allow it,&amp;quot; Cyrus replied.\r\nEven as Spears chuckled nervously, Cyrus gushed to the elder pop star that she was her ultimate inspiration. &amp;quot;The way that I am about Britney, that&amp;apos;s the way a lot of people are about me,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;She was my first record. I was a lot of peoples&amp;apos; first album. First idol. I&amp;apos;ll be a diehard fan for Britney always.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nLiam Hemsworth&amp;apos;s ex-fiancee adds that she was particularly inspired by Spears&amp;apos; most radical sexual-awakening moment in the spotlight: &amp;quot;I remember when the &amp;apos;I&amp;apos;m a Slave 4 U&amp;apos; video came out,&amp;quot; she told Spears. &amp;quot;[My dad Billy Ray Cyrus] shook his head and was like &amp;apos;My 8 year old is going to turn into a stripper.&amp;apos; But I wanted to be hot like Britney and that&amp;apos;s still what girls wanna do in the pop industry.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nCyrus also shared her thoughts on the public obsession with former child stars. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s something about watching people grow up,&amp;quot; the one-time Hannah Montana star observed. &amp;quot;People get a connection, they feel like they really know you and get really entitled ... Most people don&amp;apos;t have their kid photos put up and then [people are] like, &amp;apos;She changed.&amp;apos; Well, yeah!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThese days -- post-VMAs, post &amp;quot;Wrecking Ball&amp;quot; video -- Cyrus told the cameras that she feels even more emboldened. &amp;quot;I really feel like things have really begun after the VMAs. I feel like people are now getting to see what the movement is all about. &amp;apos;We&amp;apos;ve got to be soldiers and marching at the same time, and smiling about it. For me a movement has to be something that, like, represents taking over the world.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
