Miley Cyrus won’t turn 18 until November, but in the few years since skyrocketing to superstardom, she already has a veteran’s worth of headline-grabbing moments to her name.  From high profile breakups and makeups to controversial photo shoots and photos, Cyrus went from clean-cut Southern girl to a teen queen many think went too sexy too soon.  Check out <a href="http://www.radaronline.com" target="_blank">RadarOnline.com’s</a> gallery of her wild ride.
