Miley Cyrus

"A life of happiness. " That's what Miley Cyrus, 19, expects now that she's engaged to Liam Hemsworth , 22, one of the youngsters who kills for food 'n' fun on Hunger Games . "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Miley told People. (Do the kids in Hunger Games look forward to a happy life? We think not.) Before she met Liam, says Miley, she had no concept of happiness: "I was pretty much like, ‘I'm going to die alone?

The novels of Nicholas Sparks are godsends for Hollywood ingenues, not to mention Hollywood. As many of his books tell stories of young love clinging to the trellis of hope, they make ideal vehicles for actresses transitioning from teenage to adult roles. Sparks' familiar motifs of love blooming across class divisions and despite unforeseen tragedy and family feuds have made him the undisputed Kaiser of Kleenex. In the tradition of Mandy Moore, Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, Miley Cyrus - the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana - does Sparks in The Last Song, an effective, and relatively restrained, tearjerker for daddies and their daughters.

LET'S HAVE a hearty Tattle round of applause for Miley Cyrus , who has been voted the worst celebrity influence of 2010. Amazingly, the dis-honor wasn't voted by angry parents whose tween daughters wanted stripper poles for Christmas, but by the followers of AOL's JSYK.com (Just So You Know) - a website targeting 9- to 15-year-olds. Miley, 18, who successfully defended her crown from 2009, tallied 58 percent of the 99,000 votes. BANGShowbiz.com says Miley "beat off" competition from rehabbers Demi Lovato and Lindsay Lohan ; "Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood ; Kanye West , who behaved like Kanye West; and "Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford ,who was arrested for possession of marijuana.

Does acting like a tramp mean you are a tramp? No, says philosophical ethics prof Miley Cyrus in response to critics who suggest that her "Can't Be Tamed" music vid is far too sexually suggestive for a 17-year-old child. "I'm not trying to be 'slutty,' " Miley says. "I'm not trying to be like, go to the club and get a bunch of guys. . . . What I'm trying to do is to make a point with my record and look consistent, in the way my record sounds and the way I dress. " So, is she just acting inarticulate?

An online storm broke out this week over Urban Outfitters Inc., and it intensified Thursday night when teen celebrity Miley Cyrus hopped onto Twitter to share a few thoughts of her own. The TV/movie/music star's comments, which implicitly attacked the company for its founder's support of Republican causes, began not with the firepower of a high-paid marketing machine. Rather, they capped a frenzy that started with a single shout-out from a jewelry designer in Chicago with a Twitter account.

IT LOOKS LIKE "The Last Song" for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth will be "Here Comes the Bride. " The couple, who met on the set of the cringe-worthy "The Last Song" movie in 2009, announced their engagement Wednesday morning. Miley is only 19 so that's just nutty. The only teenagers who should be getting married are having babies on reality-TV shows. Hemsworth is the 22-year-old Australian star of "The Hunger Games" and the younger brother of Thor, Chris Hemsworth.

"IM NOT TRYING to be 'slutty,' " Miley Cyrus said in a recent interview. So? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar isn't trying to be tall. Doesn't make him short. "I'm not trying to be like, go to the club and get a bunch of guys," Miley added. "What I'm trying to do is to make a point with my record and look consistent, in the way my record sounds and the way I dress. " And that would be . . . ? Not slutty? For many who still want to think of Miley as "Hannah Montana," her "sexy" new look and her provocative video for her new single "Can't Be Tamed," are jarring, controversial and skin-baring.

MILEY CYRUS LINED UP like any other historically minded tourist at the Betsy Ross House on Tuesday afternoon and bought three tickets for her and friends. Cyrus and company listened for a few minutes as Betsy Ross (Carol Spacht) talked about her work, then continued their self-guided tour of the house.

  Editor's note: From their blog, here's a bit of Tom and Lorenzo on Miley Cyrus' recent haircut and solid Philly-girl look. EVERYONE ASSUMES we live in New York . . . but T Lo Manor and its surrounding acres are located in Philadelphia, land of the cheesesteak and Mummer. . . . we've been asked several times what the style scene is like in Philly; what the look is that defines the city. Obviously, there's no accurate way to answer that question because like any city, it comprises vast swaths of people of various backgrounds and types.

Miley Cyrus , 19, is troubled by folks who say she's too young to marry. "Life is too short not to be with the person you want to be with," Liam Hemsworth 's fiancee tells Marie Claire. Miley, who on Monday debuted a new blond hairdo, says marriage is a state of mind. "I don't really care about the wedding or the piece of paper as much as I do the promise we've made to each other," says the warbler, who admits she was totally shocked by Liam's sudden proposal. She digs the ring "because it doesn't look like anything else I wear.

You know there's something seriously wrong when Charlie Sheen has the moral high ground! Sheen tells TMZ he is happy his kids with ex-wife Brooke Mueller were removed from her custody by California authorities because they suspected her of using drugs at home. Four-year-old twins Bob and Max are staying with Charlie's other ex-wife, Denise Richards , while Brooke, 35, is under investigation. But Brooke decided to take the initiative: Her rep tells the New York Daily News she is entering "a residential treatment facility to get help for prescription drug abuse.

Sex, love, art, subatomic particles (well, not so much them) - Miley Cyrus talks about it to Elle UK. She has strong feelings about nudity. "A star is someone who doesn't have to take her clothes off to be sexy because you naturally have star power," Miley, 20, says. "I don't want to be a glorified model. They just talk on stage and it's all about their clothes - or lack of clothes. " Ouch! Miley dismisses reports that her four-year romance (she was, like, 16 when it began)

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is being dumped as a co-host of The View because View viewers eschew her views, an Unidentified Source confided to Us Weekly. Too conservative. "The viewers they polled [in marketing research] all said she was too extreme and right-wing," the source told Us. "People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed. " Hasselbeck, 35, has been a member of The View panel for nine years.

WE'RE NOT SURE that Miley Cyrus ' leaving Twitter - again - is going to up the number of followers for @DNTattle , but after fiance Liam Hemsworth was reportedly caught locking lips with January Jones at a pre-Oscars party and Us Weekly claimed that Liam and Miley's "Wedding Is Off," Miley's taking another break from social media. "I am so sick of LA and sick of the lies that come with it," she tweeted. "I didn't call off my wedding. Taking a break from social media.

It was a Philadelphia phenomenon: This summer, two of cinema's biggest stars, Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman, were left largely undisturbed as locals instead cozied up to their Paranoia costar: the unusually fan-friendly Liam Hemsworth - and his visiting fiancee, pop princess Miley Cyrus. The cast is back in town, at least until this week. And the lovely young couple are again embracing Philly and getting chummy with, really, anyone who wants to get chummy. Hemsworth was barely back to work last week when three freshmen La Salle University speech pathology majors heard he was around the corner at Rogues Gallery and ditched their class trip at the Mütter Museum to gawk.

In a prolix act of devotion, actor Liam Hemsworth ( Expendables 2 ) has chosen to ink a biceps with part of the same lofty - if obscure - speech that already adorns the forearm of his fiancée, Miley Cyrus. The now close-cropped Cyrus is tattooed with text from a speech President Theodore Roosevelt gave at the Sorbonne in France in 1910. Miley's inspirational lettering reads: "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

St. Joe's Prep and Temple grad Michael Rady just had some real-life practice in a hospital for his role as a doctor on the upcoming CW show "Emily Owens, M.D. "   "I delivered my son. There were other people with me, but I was actively involved," Rady told Daily News TV critic Ellen Gray in Los Angeles during the Television Critics Association conference. Rady, who starred on the CW's update of "Melrose Place" and appears on Showtime's "House of Lies," and actress wife Rachael Kemery welcomed a baby boy named Ellington two weeks ago. Rady said his participation in the delivery was a tough task for a guy who is squeamish, which he has tried to overcome since being cast opposite Mamie Gummer in "Owens.
