Miley Cyrus: 'I've got a lot of power and want to use it for good'

'We Can't Stop' sensation Miley Cyrus has just launched a new charity foundation called the Happy Hippie Foundation, which focuses on homelessness, LGBT rights and other "vulnerable" people.

Speaking to the Associated Press about the foundation yesterday (May 4), the superstar explained that she wants to use her fame as a platform to promote positivity and growth: "The position I'm in, I feel like I've got a lot of power, but so many kids don't feel that way. They're under their parents' rule."

"When you have all eyes on you, what are you saying? And that's what I had to ask myself a lot. It's like, I know you're going to look at me more if my (breasts) are out, so look at me. And then I'm going to tell you about my foundation for an hour and totally hustle you.”

Referring to her newly debuted pink armpit hair (shown above left), Cyrus added: "The pink pits are saying, 'Don't tell me what to do'. It's back to what I'm preaching in a way, you know, telling these kids. I'm not just saying you be yourself and I'm going to go be Miley Cyrus. I'm saying I'm going to be my (expletive) self, too.”
