Miley Cyrus looks peaky and pale... and she hasn't even hit the gym yet

She is know for her perky, happy attitude and glowing Californian sun-kissed skin. 

But Miley Cyrus showed a very different side as she hit a gym in Toluca Lake today, looking extremely pale and tired. 

The 18-year-old singer and actress hadn't even done her daily workout yet when she was spotted looking uncharacteristically exhausted.

Wearing a customised Joan Jett t-shirt, the teenage star flashed her black bra and  'Just Breath' tattoo, one of five that she has inked on her body. 

She wore the punk rock top with a pair of grey baggy tracksuit pants and some trainers. 

Miley's hair also appeared on the greasy side, pulled back in a tight pony tail. 

The former Hannah Montana star's look was a far-cry from her appearance on the Saturday Night Live last week. 

Hosting the famed comedy sketch show, she looked happy and healthy drawing laughs from the crowd as she parodied troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, as well as her good friend Justin Bieber.

Miley appeared dressed as fellow teen idol Justin in one sketch. She wore a purple hoodie jumper and a wig of the singer's famous haircut.

Miley also sent up Lindsay Lohan in a scene that also parodied Charlie Sheen, John Galliano and Moammar Gadhafi.

The former Hannah Montana star was keen to grab publicity for her comedic side, rather than for her party girl reputation, which her father Billy Ray recently spoke out about.

Miley is said to be furious with her country singing father after he said last month that the Disney show wrecked his family, after a string of scandals that sullied the once-wholesome image of his teenage daughter.

‘I’ll tell you right now, the damn show destroyed my family’, he said.
