" Miley Cyrus has revealed that she has considered professionally dropping her last name. In a similar fashion to Madonna and more recently Cheryl Cole, the &amp;#039;We Can&amp;#039;t Stop&amp;#039; singer said that she thought about removing her father Billy Ray Cyrus&amp;#039;s name in order to lose the Disney connection.  &amp;quot;I was thinking about dropping the Cyrus and just being Miley but there&amp;#039;s something powerful about the fact that my name now is like a household name,&amp;quot; the 20-year-old told Notion magazine. &amp;quot;People have this misconception of me that I&amp;#039;m just one of these kids on TV and that now I go off and party and I&amp;#039;m just this ratchet white girl, and I&amp;#039;m not.&amp;quot;  She continued: &amp;quot;I work really, really hard, I&amp;#039;m just in a different environment. I&amp;#039;m young and living in LA, which is everyone&amp;#039;s dream, you know? I&amp;#039;m living it to the fullest. Rather than taking a blessing and making it a curse, it&amp;#039;s just like this is what this name is now.&amp;quot; Miley Cyrus recently admitted that she wants to leak her new album online for free. Notion magazine is out August 29. Watch Miley Cyrus&amp;#039;s video for &amp;#039;We Can&amp;#039;t Stop&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
