Exclusive: Miley Cyrus Launches Anti-Homelessness, Pro-LGBT 'Happy Hippie Foundation'

'Being a girl isn't what I hate, it's the box that I get put into.'

Miley Cyrus can't cross the street without causing a controversy, but at 22 years old, the megastar tells Out she's finally figured out how to enjoy having it all. "I've experienced fame, and money, and all that ->-bleeped-<-—and none of it will make you as happy as when you're actually fighting for something."

Last year, she sent a young man named Jesse on stage to accept an MTV award on her behalf. He, in turn, took the Moon Man in honor of "the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost and scared for their lives right now" and pointed viewers to Miley's Facebook to donate money to My Friend's Place, the Los Angeles organization that had introduced Miley to Jesse earlier that week. They raised more than $200,000 in 24 hours.

That woman is just so darned perky that even when she does weird stuff like that video with the wrecking ball I can't help but smile at her. I'm kinda glad we're on her radar.

I sat next to her at a restaurant not so long ago and I'm pretty sure she didn't notice me.

Kudos to Miley for bringing attention to the problems faced by LGBT people, my local council is currently looking into the high percentage of homeless LGBT people amongst our homeless population, we need more high profile celebs to help raise awareness

I meant collectively! Anyway, Jill, I refuse to believe anyone could be in your proximity and ignore you. I'm sure she was just playing it down, too embarrassed to intrude.
