At the end of the weekend, a ceremony was held naming 14 new Disney Legends – people who have worked with the company and made a notable impact.MILEY CYRUS RELATES TO DOLLY PARTON’S STANCE ON NEVER HAVING CHILDRENStars like Jamie Lee Curtis, Angela Bassett and Kelly Ripa were honored.For her speech, Cyrus got off to an emotional start, saying, « I’m gonna let everybody get in on a little Disney Legend secret. I’m the one that tells you what you’re not supposed to know. And what I want to say, is that legends get scared, too. I’m scared right now, but the difference is we do it anyway, and all of you can do that every single day. It’s legendary to be afraid and do it anyway. There is no such thing as failure when you try. »She went on to talk about her early years and how she auditioned for « Hannah Montana » in 2005 at Disney’s Burbank office – a place where she joked « it’s rumored that they create all of us Disney kids. »She continued the joke by saying, « I definitely wasn’t created in a lab, but if I was, there must’ve been a bug in the system which caused me to malfunction somewhere between the years of 2013 and ’16. »The audience laughed and applauded, and she added, « Sorry, Mickey! » »Hannah Montana » premiered in 2005, when Cyrus was 13. Its last episode aired in January 2011, and two years later, the singer began promoting a new album called « Bangerz. »She memorably performed at the MTV Video Music Awards that year with Robin Thicke.
