Miley Cyrus, Sept 17, 2009 (AP)

Miley Cyrus quits twitter today following encouragement from her The Last Song co-star and rumored boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. Not yet making the primetime news, fans have already started protesting and encouraging the 16-year-old Disney star to stay on the social media network via the twitter topic #mileycomeback.

The Hannah Montana star posted the following tweet before closing her twitter account:

"FYI Liam doesn't have a Twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason." 

Twitter has been a huge platform for image building and rebuilding for both celebrities and politicians and Cyrus is no stranger to controversy for sexy photos and teen mistakes.

Forbes published an article last spring about Why Celebrities Twitter and telling us why we care about their idiosyncratic life details. Also, Miley Cyrus is not the first celebrity to quit twitter either. See Nine Celebrities Who Quit Twitter
 

Speculation abounds that Cyrus is simply catering to her boyfriend's jealous demands while others feel that she can't take the heat from the fires she or others have lit.

As for the real reason why Miley Cyrus quit twitter, thus far, publicists for Cyrus have not returned requests for comments today to the Associated Press.

Some will respect the young women's decision -- Twitter is not for everyone -- but will certainly miss the Disney star's gossip of the day.
