Miley Cyrus thought she would take a cue from her TV alter ego, Hannah Montana when she got herself an inexpensive wig. Unfortunately, her idea went up in flames – literally. She said, “I got a wig and it was really short – a tomboy cut – and I decided to straighten it. I’m sitting down and all of a sudden I start smelling smoke. I thought, ‘What is that? I thought, ‘This isn’t going to work for me.’ So it doesn’t work in real life but it works on the show!” Poor Miley, having your wig catch on fire would be a little traumatic!
