Hollywood celebrity Miley Cyrus was offered $100,000 to talk with online users about her experience as her parents go through a divorce. Room110.com offered Miley the amount, describing her as "great model for young adults."
In a statement posted on Room110.com, a representative for the Web site said, "Miley has been through it all and is a great role model for young adults. I know making her a part of the Room110 community and speaking to students about how to work through tough breakups, her parents getting divorced and her various struggles will be very educational."
As part of the arrangement, Miley Cyrus would talk to users online several times a month for a year, promote the program and visit schools to discuss her experience with her parents going through a divorce. Room110.com is a webste frequented mostly by students.
In recent development in the divorce of Miley Cyrus parents, Billy Ray Cyrus has filed for joint custody of his three minor children in the divorce papers he filed in a court in Tennessee.
Miley, Braison, 16, and Noah, 10, are three minor children of Tish and Billy Ray. The couple has three older children from previous relationships. The papers say that Cyrus "has no information of any custody proceedings."
Cyrus will turn 18 in November 23. It is likely that Miley will reach the age of emancipation before the custody issue in her parents' divorce is resolved by the court.
Taylor Lautner still has a soft spot in his heart for his ex-girlfriend, country singing cutie, Taylor Swift and he wants to get back with her.
A source told In Touch, “They’ve been texting a lotand talking about seeing each other again.”
Even if they don’t rekindle their romance, Taylor Lautner cares deeply about Taylor Swift. The source continued, “When she was staying in Paris at the Gorge V hotel near the Eiffel Tower, he begged her to leave because he heard there were warnings about a possible act of terrorism there.”
Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner began dating while they were co-stars in the movie Valentine’s Day, which came out earlier this year.
Many friends think that Taylor and Taylor could be back together before Christmas. What do you think? Should they give love another chance?
Miley Cyrus is now facing one of the hardest times of her life; divorce of one’s parents is never easy on the kids, no matter how old the children are. Miley is soon going to turn 18 and her father Billy Ray Cyrus has applied for joint custody of his three minor kids with wife Tish Cyrus. One of the kids is Miley.
Tabloids have already reported that Miley just might be one of the causes for the tiff between Billy and Tish. One of the tabloids mentioned that Tish is not really happy with Miley’s lifestyle and Hollywood ways, while as a mom Tish is trying to help her other kinds out, for Billy it is only Miley. Also in both Billy and Miley’s life there is no one else but themselves.
The gossips blogs are also doing the rounds that the couple has a serious point of view issue regarding Miely’s lifestyle. Once in 2007 in the cover story regarding Miley and how they are bringing up a teenage star revealed that the former ‘Hannah Montana’ star was more comfortable with her father than mom Tish. The ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ singer also stated that Tish felt that the glamour and the world of Hollywood is a dangerous thing for children.
Whether Miley is one of the reasons for the contention between Billy and Tish is not clear. But whatever it is the singer-actress is facing a tough time with parents’ divorce. We wish she has the strength to face this tribulation
Taylor Swift recently revealed that she and Selena Gomez are not only BFFs, but they are also like sisters! Here’s what Taylor said during a recent interview about fellow singer and actor Selena:
She and I are very similar. We are sort of like sisters in a lot of ways, and the way we deal with each other is very sisterly. We realize there is no cure for what we have, which is this need for love to make sense, and it just doesn’t, so we both just go to dinner and vent about it.
We’re so glad that Taylor and Selena have each other to lead on when they’re down, or to spend time with when they want to go out! They seem like the perfect fit to be BFFs, don’t you think?
Teen star Miley Cyrus' parents Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus are heading towards a divorce after 17 years of marriage.
Country singer Billy and his wife have announced their separation and filed divorce papers this week citing "irreconcilable differences", reported Contactmusic.
"As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers," they said in a statement.
Friends said it was inevitable the couple - who have three children, 17-year-old Miley, Braison, 16, and Noah, 10, - would split but insisted nobody else is involved.
"It was a long time coming. It is the best thing for both of them," said a source close to the couple.
The couple married in December 1992 and Billy adopted Tish's two children, Brandi and Trace, from her previous marriage, in addition to the three children he had with her.He also has a son, Christopher, from his relationship with Kristen Luckey.
The family initially lived on a 500-acre farm near Nashville, Tennessee, before moving to Los Angeles following the success of Miley's TV show 'Hannah Montana', in which Billy also appears.
Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are huge stars in their own ways. Though both are stepping into their adulthoods respectively, they have certainly made a huge impact among the faithful. So when Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato speaks, their fans listen.
Both Disney stars have been good role models in their personal lives too. In a recent interview, Demi Lovato talked about how she was very happy with her current acting and singing careers. She also added, "But my biggest dream in life is to become a wife and a mother.. THAT'S what life is about...". Damn, Demi Lovato has sure grown up since we last talked about her!
Selena Gomez on the other hand, talked about her ideal date. She said, "They have to be nice, they have to be a gentleman and just confident within themselves but also have qualities about them that you can tell make them shy. And people that my parents like, because they're very important to me.". We wish Selena Gomez good luck in her search for Mr. Perfect and may Demi Lovato's biggest wish come true.
when it comes to love, wears her heart on her sleeve. Her new album “Speak Now” weaves a tale of lost love, broken hearts, and a girls revenge.
She says the last year of her life, “There’s been extreme joy, extreme pain, extreme curveballs,” Swift tells PEOPLE. “Sometimes, when things impact you so intensely, it takes writing a song to get over them.” Who is she talking about? Joe Jonas, John Mayer, or Taylor Lautner? Will the real heartbreaker please stand up?
In her new song, “Back to December”, Taylor Swift’s lyrics sing a heartfelt apology to Twilight hunk, Taylor Lautner. Although she’s reluctant to discuss her love life in interviews, she doesn’t hold back when it comes to her music and selling albums. Our Sagittarius girl says ”I will say everything in my music,” she explains.
Taylor Swift dated Taylor Lautner for several months after appearing in the film Valentine’s Day. Until of course she broke the poor guys heart. Swift sings, “If we loved again I swear I’d love you right,” is she begging for his forgiveness? Taylor Swift says, ”I’ve never written a song that I haven’t meant,” she says. “And I mean it all.” I guess that means Taylor Lautner better give her a call.
For Taylor Lautner, born under the Astrology sign of Aquarius has a big year ahead of him astrologically. When it comes to Taylor Swift, I don’t think he’s interested in riding that love rollercoaster again. Astrochicks thinks the next girl he chooses will be someone behind the scenes, maybe a fan? Either way, she’s one lucky girl. For Taylor Swift, a lot more heartache so she can write really cool chick songs.
The actor, who got back together with Cyrus last month, admitted that it's difficult to be in a high-profile relationship but said that he avoids reading articles about himself.
Hemsworth told Heat: "It's not easy. I'm not complaining. I don't read the tabloids and coming back to Australia keeps me grounded.
"It's important to keep my family and good friends close."
Honestly Miley — why oh why are you going out in public AGAIN without a bra, in a strategically cut-out T-shirt?
Did you want to make sure the world could see your side-boob? Were you jealous that Taylor Momsen made it to the #1 spot on the Google Trends list on Sat. Oct. 23, after flashing her breasts during a concert at downtown NYC club, Don Hills?
Do you have attention envy? If not, then what would possess you to wear this boob-flashing T-shirt in public in Toluca, Ca. Oct. 23 — the very same day?
Not that this is the first time you’ve exposed your bare side cleavage. You famously wore an extremely side-boob revealing halter top on Jan. 30, 2009, while out shopping.
Honestly Miley — you and Taylor Momsen need to take a chill pill from Taylor Swift. She’s managing to sell millioins of records and have millions of fans without behaving like a bad girl stripper stripper.
BFFs Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are really like sisters. Taylor, 20, dished to Radio Disney’s Ernie D during her take over about their super-close friendship. She shared, “She and I are very similar. We are sort of like sisters in a lot of ways, and the way we deal with each other is very sisterly. We [both] realize there is no cure for what we have, which is this need for love to make sense, and it just doesn’t, so we both just go to dinner and vent about it.”
And what about Selena’s reaction to Speak Now? T said, “It was really, really awesome. She knows me so well that she could tell exactly which song is about which person. Her favorite was a song called ‘Dear John’…because she knows the story behind it.” Taylor’s Take Over will air TODAY, October 25th @ 3PM PT/6PM ET on Radio Disney.

What do you think of Demi's new (old) look?
Demi Lovato decided to go back to her roots! The actress/singer has dyed her hair black again.Demi is currently headed to South America to tour with the JoBros, and I can't wait to see pictures of her performing with the new do. Demi's fans will recognize the sleek, darker color she wore for so long. She naturally has a light brown hair color, but dyed her hair black as her style really started to mature. A few days ago @LovatoFamilySup tweeted "Demi Lovato dyes her hair dark again! awesome! btw, in this picture she is recording her 3rd album in studio!"Not sure what I'm more excited about, the new album or the new hair. To show off her new hair color, Demi recently tweeted a photo of herself posing with her adorable bunny Ella and sporting the new hairstyle. I think it brings out more of her personality, so hopefully the black locks are here to stay!Do you like Demi’s darker hair? Or did you prefer it with highlights?

It was a quick change for Selena Gomez as she left the stage in London last night.
The teen singing star swapped her cocktail dress for a stylish sparkling coat and trousers, as she headed out with friends.
Heading out for dinner after a tiring gig might leave some of us exhausted.
But fresh-faced Selena is more than used to multi-tasking.
The 18-year-old is currently promoting her second album A Year Without Rain with her band Selena And The Scene.
Quick change: After appearing on stage in a cocktail dress in London last night, Selena Gomez slipped into a sparkly coat to join her friends for dinner
She is also busy publicising her new fashion line, which went on sale August 1st in Kmart as well as her new teen movie, Monte Carlo.
On top of all that, she is starring in Ramona and Beezus, based on the popular book series by Beverly Cleary.
No surprise then, if all that work leaves little time for dating.
'Unfortunately, I haven't been on a date in over six months,' she told website BettyConfidential recently.
'In hindsight, it doesn't really seem that long between dates.
Hard-working: Selena juggles careers as an actress, singer, model and designer... at just 18-years-old
'The truth is I haven't met anyone, but I'm young. I don't need to have a boyfriend right now.'
But with former flings including heartthrobs Taylor Lautner and Nick Jonas she has already fulfilled many a teenage girl's dreams.
Sounding older and wiser than her years, she said: 'Any crush or relationship is always a big ordeal. To get that one boy to like you and then he doesn't feels like the end of the world.
'I figure that you will have about 1,000 dates until you get to your perfect guy'.
SELENA Gomez isn’t the most famous teen star of her generation but she may just be the sweetest. Beautiful, talented and in possession of a Unicef-certified heart of gold, Gomez has turned into a true role model for young people.
“I just think that we’re the next generation up. And it’s our job to spread the word about everything going on in the world,” says the Wizards Of Waverly Place star when asked why she’s so committed to Trick-or-Treat For Unicef, a campaign that encourages kids to raise money on Halloween for underprivileged children around the world.
Now, 18, Gomez is as dedicated to the programme as she was when she became Unicef’s youngest ever ambassador, in August 2009.
Naturally, it’s hard to make time for philanthropy when one also has a new Billboard Top 10 album (A Year Without Rain) as well as new TV season (the fourth season of Wizards kicks off next month in the United States) to think about, but knowing the lass, she’ll find a way.
For more on Gomez, check out the Oct 17-31 issue of Galaxie.
Also in this issue of Galaxie, we read about what drove American Idol Fantasia Barrino to contemplate suicide. “I felt like it was never going to end for me. I just felt tired, tired, tired,” says Barrino of that point in time when she was ready to throw in the towel.
Great features aside, the current issue of the magazine also features awesome contests. We have 160 movie passes for The Social Network to give away, invites to the Flyniversary Party happening on Nov 6 at KL Live in Kuala Lumpur, and loads of other goodies.

Hot couple Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas was seen enjoying a hot dinner at Katsuya Hollywood. The loved up couple enjoyed a private dinner with curtains separating them from the rest of diners at the Japanese restaurant but they were still seen by a couple of those present.
One source at the scene stated that the pair were seated so close to each other and ate a couple of meals including yellowtail with jalapeno and sake.
Rachel McAdams was also seen in the arms of new partner Michael Sheen in Toronto while taking a rest from shooting her upcoming movie, The Vow. An onlooker revealed that the surroundings looked attractive and buzzing for romance. Sheen went all the way to Toronto to be in the arms of the actress and they were all seen strolling on the streets of the city.
LeAnn Rimes and lover Eddie Cibrian were also seen sharing a meal at the Beso restaurant located in West Hollywood and owned by Eva Longoria Parker. Rimes wrote on her Twitter page after the show that the meal was delicious and she was set to continue enjoying herself with her lover at the Colony for a dance.
Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke who met on the Bachelor Pad were seen dancing at the Santa Monica location of the Cirque du Tacori. The pair enjoyed a couple of glasses in their separate cabana while sharing deep kisses in between. Tenley danced throughout the night while her boyfriend retired after a couple of minutes.
Claire Danes and husband Hugh Dancy were also seen having a meal of sake, sushi and Saketinis in the company of pals such as Mamie Gummer in BindSt, New York. The pair seemed to be enjoying themselves and couldn’t stop laughing and fooling around according to a source at the scene.
Selena Gomez refuses to splash out on expensive clothes. The Disney starlet is very sensible when it comes to her money and doesn't see the point of paying out for designer items when she can get something similar for much less.
"When it comes to shopping I love a bargain. I don't usually spend over the $20 mark. I feel so much better buying a top for $20 that isn't so different from the one that costs $200. It's really rare that I buy something expensive, and if I do, I think about it over and over before splashing out."
When she goes to glamorous events, the Wizards of Waverley Place actress borrows designer outfits because she knows she won't wear them again: "When you see me on the red carpet, I'm usually in outfits that I've picked out and borrowed, and that I probably won't wear a second time, so I give them back. Normally the outfits are too expensive for me to own anyway."
One dress she won't be giving back is the gown she wore in her music video "A Year Without Rain," as she is auctioning it off for charity. "It's a beautiful dress. It was obviously a very important part of the video - we wanted it to be very beautiful and very flowy and I got so many great comments on it so I thought it would be awesome to give it to charity." The profits from the Catherine Dean dress will go towards UNICEF's mission to help underprivileged kids worldwide.

Selena Gomez enjoys keeping in touch with her fans via sites like Facebook and Twitter, but finds social networking can be a "little scary".
"I think the social networks are very important," says the Naturally singer, who says she will cry when Wizards of Waverly Place ends next season.
"I think that being part of Facebook and MySpace and Twitter, all of those things, it's really awesome.

Newlyweds Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa were spotted shopping for a home pregnancy kit in West Hollywood last month, according to a new In Touch article.
The couple wed in December and friends tell the publication they would not be surprised if the Jonases are about to become parents: "They're mature for their age, and they want to start a family. They'd consider it a major blessing if Danielle was pregnant."
In 2008, the pop star, 22, famously told Details magazine that he would wait until marriage to have sex.
Justin Bieber's dating obsession is no secrets but when a journalist caught the 16 year old kissing Jasmin Villegas in his car, Bieber's mother Pattie Mallette, was very disturbed.
Pattie Mallette, is scared that Justin Bieber's dating girls will ruin his music career. “Pattie’s freaking out that she’s losing control of her boy. And she’s afraid that his obsession with girls is sapping his time and energy, and jeopardizing his music career.
“Pattie warned her son about Hollywood social climbing and told him Jasmine could be just using him to further her own career," said a source.
Pattie wants Justin bieber to only concentrate on his music career and denied him dating any girl. A friend of Justin Bieber has revealed that they have their own collection of Playboy Magazine which they take turns in keeping in their house.
With Pattie Mallette taking a strong stand on keeping her son away from all 'distractions', it seems he will not have enough access to these magazines.
Miley Cyrus' 'Who Owns My Heart?' video's too 'sexualized': Parents Television Council president

Miley Cyrus's 'Who Owns My Heart?' video shows the songstress writhing around in bed before heading off to a club in revealing attire. WATCH VIDEO below.
Take our Poll
Miley's 'Heart'
Miley Cyrus' new-found sexiness is "unfortunate," according to a TV watchdog group.
The president of the Parents Television Council has publicly lashed out at the 17-year-old singer for her latest age-inappropriate video, "Who Owns My Heart?," in which she writhes in bed in her underwear.
"It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one," Tim Winters told TMZ.com. "Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly."
The video, released Friday, shows the singer waking up in bed blindfolded with no pants on as she writhes between the silk sheets and saucily sings to the camera. She then heads off to party in glittery barely-there club gear -- with plenty of cleavage and leg on display -- before hitting the dance floor where she gets down with some older men.
"Who owns my heart?" she sings. "Is it love or is it art?"
Cyrus, who turns 18 on Nov. 23, has been experiencing non-stop growing pains in the past few months for attempting to kill her vanilla "Hannah Montana" image with a series of hyper-sexual music videos and performances.
In what seemed to be a response to her detractors, she told MTV.com that "Who Owns My Heart?" is about "freeing yourself from anything you think is holding you back."
The teen pop star last came under fire in June for her tribal-themed "Can't Be Tamed" performance at the 2010 Much Music Video Awards. While performing her homage to “King Kong,” her skimpy white bodice threatened to expose her nether regions.

Heart-throb singing sensation just wishes he could go home and chill
By Douglas Wight, 10/10/2010
TEEN heart-throb Justin Bieber has a multi-million fortune and 10million adoring fans - but sometimes he longs to jack it all in for a normal life.
The baby-faced singer, 16, said: "If I was at home and I wasn't doing this, I'd wish that I was in this position.
Watch a teaser of our exclusive Justin Bieber video interview
"Now that I'm here, I sometimes wish I could just go back home and just chill."
The cops picked us up and took us home
But Justin's autobiography, out on Thursday, reveals his life before fame wasn't typical. Justin Bieber slideshow
His Canadian parents Pattie and Jeremy were in their late teens when he was born, and split when he was 10 months old. In his book First Step 2 Forever, Justin says: "When I was little, I longed for a 'normal' life with a 'normal' family.
"Mom worked her butt off at whatever job she could get to keep a roof over our heads.
"There were no luxuries but it never occurred to me that we were poor. We had each other, which was everything."
Pattie would invite round "interesting, artsy people" to play music, and Justin taught himself the guitar and singing.
He got in extra practice after being grounded twice - once for skipping school and another time after a run-in with police.
Justin explains: "We sneaked out and went bike-riding at 2am, and the cops picked us up and took us home.
"My mom came unglued about that, and I was grounded for a few weeks but that gave me time to work on my chords and good guitar riffs."
Justin tried to keep his love of singing quiet at school for fear of being picked on. He said: "Unfortunately for the bullies, my dad was an ex-professional fighter who used to take me to his training sessions.
"I'm not a fighter by nature but if somebody shoved me, I shoved back harder." Justin's first appearance on YouTube - the video website that launched him to stardom - was at a mass brawl at his school.
He said: "A bunch of people were involved and a bunch more were taking videos of it with their cellphones. Nobody got seriously hurt but the video made it look like something out of Mortal Kombat."
The next video was him coming third at a singing contest in his home town of Stratford, Ontario.
It was posted on YouTube by Pattie, and afterwards Justin decided to try his hand at busking. He said: "Mom wasn't sure, so she insisted on having Grandpa sit in his car across the street.
"I was hoping I'd get 20 bucks. After a couple of hours, I had almost $200. I felt like I'd discovered a gold mine. At the end of one day, there was a note in my guitar case. It was something like, 'You're cute! Call me! Love, Tiffany.' And a phone number. I was 12."
Pattie wanted him to start a college fund but Justin used the cash to take them to Disney World - their first holiday.
Videos of him busking ended up on YouTube and he was signed by a record label and mentored by R&B star Usher. Justin - worth an estimated £100million now, is touring the world - but being a mega- star is far from easy.
During one rehearsal he was left hanging 30ft above a stage when his harness got stuck. No one heard his yells over the music. And when a choreographer asked if he was ok, Justin said: "No. I am about to die. Get me down!"
He also broke his foot at London's Wembley Arena when he was supporting Taylor Swift.
He said: "My foot rolled right to the edge of a ramp, and it felt like stepping on a railroad spike. In the middle of a song. In front of 12,000 people. And Taylor Swift."
He made it to the end of his set, but said: "Once I got backstage, I howled like a dog. I won't lie."
No wonder he wants to go home sometimes!
EXCLUSIVE! Justin Bieber Is In Talks To Sing ‘America The Beautiful’ At Next Year’s WrestleMania In Atlanta!

If the stars align, Justin Bieber might be tapped to sing ‘America The Beautiful’ at WrestleMania 27 on April 3, 2011 in Atlanta…which would put him in a league of performers like Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles!
Justin Bieber might not want to get in the ring with spandex wearing hunks like Randy Orton, The Miz and John Cena, but the 16-year old star’s singing pipes might get him in their grasps regardless. WrestleMania — the annual Super Bowl of wrestling — returns for its 27th incarnation in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA in 2011 and a consistent fixture is to start off the festivities with a rousing rendition of America The Beautiful!
An insider tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that WWE is trying to get younger viewers and that they’re out to get the Biebs on board.
“It is so perfect! To have Justin perform in front of 70,000 plus people would just be amazing! It is so perfect”, our source says. “It’s still a work in progress but it would be a lot of fun.”
We totally agree, and if Justin wanted to add to his fun night, he could easily ask his friend Kim Kardashian how to handle things backstage with the fellow wrestlers — she was the official host of WrestleMania 24 back in 2008!
Miley Cyrus is quickly traveling down that Britney Spears road to fame, fortune and ultimately self-destruction.
It seems like it was overnight that Miley Cyrus went from being the cute, funny kid on Hannah Montana to a sex symbol – albeit an underage sex symbol. Miley took another step down the Britney Spears path to stardom today with the release of the video for her new song “Who Owns My Heart.”
I mention Britney Spears because the similarities to she and Cyrus are starting to be uncanny. While Miley Cyrus was a much bigger child star than Britney Spears, they both have a history of being in the limelight at a young age. Britney’s debut album was teen/tween pop ear candy. Her target audience of teen girls ate it up and shot her to stardom instantly. It wasn’t until a few years later that she found herself struggling to show that she was more than just a teen pop idol. Miley Cyrus has already had a handful of albums and now, at age 17, is struggling to grow up and take her audience (who is getting older and broadening their musical horizons) with her or hopefully attracting a whole new audience that doesn’t know her as Hannah Montana. It is within this struggle to go from behind a kid star or teen pop idol to being taken as a more grown-up, sex symbol and all around pop star that Spears’ and Cyrus’ paths look very similar.
Britney Spears teased the audience. She sang coyly sexual lyric whispered in throaty tones over often throbbing, guttural beats. She played the game on the sly, making references to sex or professing her desires to be a sexual person without actually saying it out loud. Hint, when Britney purrs, “Hit me baby . . .one more time.” She isn’t talking about being punched. It was these lyrics and songs that made Britney Spears the nation’s Lolita. But when she was asked she always professed that she was a virgin and was waiting. Of course, we now all know the truth, but at the time it was part of the game. She was being sexy, but simultaneously telling us she was pure and she had the entire nation lusting for her while also feeling a little dirty about it.
Miley Cyrus is now playing that game. Her recent album finds her being sexy, flirty and at times very suggestive. This new video features Miley in her panties on her bed or sitting on the edge of a tub. She gets dressed up in a short skirt and barely there top and ends up on a crowded dance floor where she writhes around and grinds on guys and girls. Lyrics that suggest when she is in the dark she can’t tell if she and the person she is with are a masterpiece/work of art or not. Of course she could simply mean the darkness of the club makes it hard for her to tell if this is a real connection, but it could also mean in the dark it is impossible to tell if it is love or just lust. It is Britney 101. Look hot, dance provocatively and sing lyrics that can be taken a few different ways. All the while you are doing this, profess that you are innocent, pure and just a kid.
Miley rarely if ever talks about her sex life and I respect her for that. It is nobody’s business but her own what she is doing with the people she is dating. That said, she wears very sexy outfits and now has made a couple of provocative videos, yet still plays it down and says she is just 17 and she is just doing a performance. It is clearly very sexual, but she blows it off as just fun and good times playing dress up. The next step on the Britney Spears path is for her to perform on a live show like the VMA’s and do a wild, over the top and very sexually charged performance then just tell people she was having fun with the music.
Britney played the game to perfection and it looks like Miley Cyrus has studied the playbook and is now putting it to use. Her defenders will say that it isn’t a big deal and her detractors will say that she is not acting in a way that a good christian girl should. She will play it all down and smile to herself because she has done her job and has the world talking about her. In her new video she may wonder if her relationship is a work of art. While Miley Cyrus may never find that out she can rest assured that the marketing campaign surrounding her is quickly becoming one.

High School Musical star Zac Efron has left his teen movie days behind him in his new, emotionally charged film, The Death And Life Of Charlie St Cloud.
The 22-year-old actor plays a young man overcome by grief at the death of his little brother.
He described how he drew on personal experience to help him play a more emotional role.
In the last year, Miley Cyrus has undergone a transformation from bubblegum pop princess to the provocative songstress that we now know, but the one thing that's remained constant throughout her career is her overwhelming cuteness, which she can't shake, although she may be trying.
To clarify, there are many kinds of cute, and Miley is capable of most of them, from the bright pink Disney look to the tattered rocker. Click through our gallery of Miley Cyrus at her cutest, and if you still haven't gotten your cute Disney star fix,
Taylor Swift rocks a Tadashi Shoji lace dress on the cover of Glamour magazine’s November 2010 issue, on newsstands Tuesday, October 12!
Here’s what the 20-year-old country cutie had to share: On her ex, Taylor Lautner: “He’s one of my best friends. He’s wonderful, and we’ll always be close. I’m so thankful for that.” On if she ever regrets writing songs about her exes: “Eventually I’m sure one of them will write a response - that’s a pretty scary concept, actually! But I make sure I only write bad songs about the ones who deserve it.” On finding love: “I’ve learned that you can’t predict it or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.”
London, Oct 6 : Zac Efron has expressed his desire to star in an action film.
The ‘High School Musical’ star fancies flexing his action muscle as an all-action hero – but claims he needs to earn his stripes first.
“Action’s cool – but that’s something that I feel like that is only really done well if you truly feel like the actor deserves it,” the Mirror quoted him as saying.
“I think when Liam Neeson does an action movie… it just fits and makes sense. Daniel Craig did Layer Cake before James Bond. I don’t think I’ve taken any of the preliminary steps yet. I can’t say if I was sitting in the audience today and I saw me in an action movie, it would quite make sense yet.
“But hopefully I’ll get there. I would love to, in time. I’m gonna try,” he added.
Zac, who next stars in tear-jerking drama ‘The Death And Life Of Charlie St Cloud’, insists that he should be taken more seriously.
“(There is) pressure from myself. I wouldn’t say I feel it externally from other people,” he admitted.
“It seems like it would have been fine if I’d just gone and done another musical or something. I think for my own sanity and to prove something to myself, I definitely have to diversify, try new things that are more challenging, that are perhaps scary and that have a good probability that I’ll fall flat on my face in the execution,” he added.

Taylor Swift on Taylor Lautner: We'll Always Be Close
October 06, 2010 09:19:47 GMT
In a September issue of Glamour's magazine, the 'Fearless' hitmaker talks all about love, saying 'Love is the one wild card.'
Though Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner only had a brief romance, the "Mine" singer insisted that she and the "Twilight" star will "absolutely" always be friends. In a recent interview for September issue of Glamour's magazine, the singer gushed, "He's wonderful, and we'll always be close. I'm so thankful for that."
Single Swift revealed that having passions that she respects, like his career, is one quality she looks in her future boyfriend. The 20-year-old beauty told the mag, "In high school, I used to think it was 'like sooooo cool' if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust."
Still, Swift revealed that she occasionally follows her heart when it comes to guys. "I don't seem to have any real strategy or pattern when it comes to love," she said. "I've had moments of thinking, this is who I love and I don't care what anyone says. Those moments are beautiful and wild and exciting, but I've learned that those moments can end up hurting you in the end. I've been careful in love. I've been careless in love."
And Swift won't trade her love adventures, which also includes Joe Jonas, for anything. She further said that "you can't predict it or plan for it" when it comes to love. "For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card," so she said.

Justin Bieber is by far the highest-paid teen performer, earning a reported $300,000 a night while on tour, according to the Smoking Gun. Not only does he make three times what Disney teen star Selena Gomez earns, he also out-earns established acts like Sheryl Crow and Weezer, who pull in $146,500 and $150,000 per night, respectively. But Bieber still trails top-earning Rascall Flats. The country act makes $702,500 a night.
She's growing up so fast. Only a few years ago Miley was a cute teen Disney star, but now she's performing on stage in skimpy outfits and trying to generate a sexy new image.
Recently Miley was spotted dancing in a nightclub in LA, despite being only 17.
A source close to the Cyrus family claims that Miley's parents are worried about her.
"At first Miley's mom, Tish, got upset when people would tell her her daughter was being wild, but now she's realizing it herself," a Cyrus family friend told HollywoodLife.com. "We're concerned for her. She's 17-years-old, but is the one who makes the money and calls all the shots in the family. No one tells Miley no."
"Between the fast-paced lifestyle and her new 'image,' everyone is saying that it's just a matter of time before she ends up in trouble. We don't want her to be the next Lindsay Lohan, but the odds are against her."
While Miley definitely hasn't done anything too outrageous yet, if Lindsay's latest stint in rehab actually works then Hollywood will be looking for a new teen star to go off the rails. And Miley might just find herself playing that role.
Bonnie Says: Billy Ray & Tish Cyrus You Need To Tame 17-Year-Old Miley!

Listen up mama and papa Cyrus — your daughter Miley may be a big star but she’s still YOUR little girl and that means you need to be her parents.
And being her parents means you need to give her a curfew and stop her from going to bars and partying till all hours of the morning.
Do the words — Lindsay Lohan — mean anything to you? Do you want your daughter to end up in jail and rehab with her career in the ruins? Relatives of yours, who prefer to remain name-less, are already worried that Miley will become a trainwreak. “No one tells Miley no,” the source told HollywoodLife.com. “We’re concerned for her. She’s 17-years-old, but is the one who makes the money ($25 million in 2009) and she calls all the shots in the family,” the relative explained.
Now wonder they’re concerned –Miley behaves like she’s a woman in her 20’s, not an underage teen. Aside from the partying at clubs and bars in LA, Paris and Detroit, in the past month or so — she already has a long history of walking around flashing her bra and putting on PDA-filled live shows, including simulating a girl-on-girl kiss.
Would YOU want your 17-year-old — a junior in high school — to behave like this?
Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus shouldn’t want their daughter to be growing up and out of their control, either? Billy Ray and Tish — you’re “making a tremendous mistake. Everyone needs boundaries, whether they are young or old. Young people need boundaries to set themselves up for the future — what’s ok and not ok,” points out Dr. Gilda Carle. “She thinks she can do anything because she is Miley Cyrus but no one can get away with anything. It caught up with Britney and Lindsay and it will catch up with her.”
Here’s what Billy Ray and Tish really need to think about. Miley will not legally be under their control for very much longer. If they don’t exert their influence very soon, that window may close. And they can’t fear killing the golden goose by telling her no. The golden goose is still their daughter and her long term well-being should be their biggest concern.
“Miley Cyrus is a bad girl in the making,” worries celebrity psychiatrist, Dr. Carole Lieberman. “Somewhere along the line, her parents stopped paying attention. They turned the other cheek, while Miley was turning hers around a strippers pole at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.”
Dr. Lieberman believes that Miley’s parents are embracing “the misguided notion that being wild is her ticket to continued stardom, fame and fortune.”
That’s sad. Sorry Billy Ray and Tish, but your daughter needs to be tamed — it’s for her own good!
