“I’m here to clear up rumors that are going around. First off, a lot of people have been talking about My ‘virginity’. What does it matter to everyone if I am or not? Haha. But yes I am a virgin. I don’t really understand why I need to be telling everyone this. Haha. Also people have been talking about Me & Liam having fights and have broken up! This is a total lie. Yeah sure me and Liam do have our fights. But they aren’t anything serious. Just like a little 2 minute ones! Me & Liam love each other and we are here to stay.”
—Miley Cyrus

Did you expect so much success from Hannah?
I think I knew it would be a success because the writers are so incredible and the script was amazing. But I don’t think I expected it to be like the phenomenon that it is. I don’t think I expected it to open so many doors for other artists on Disney to be able to involve music and acting and all that. I’m really proud to be a part of a really cool family. I’m excited to move on to new things. But I definitely didn’t expect it to take off the way that it did, especially so soon. I can’t believe it’s already coming to an end, either. It feels like we just started.

How do you think you’ve changed?
I think I’ve definitely changed a lot. When I came to the set, I had my mom. She was my assistant, makeup artist, hair stylist, and wardrobe person all at the same time. My mom had me in this t-shirt that she had got for me that says ‘I should have my own TV show.’ I had it on with my skirt and full face make up. I was just sitting there like, ‘Oh my God, I’m on a Disney set. My life is like about to change.’ Sure enough, it did. I just remember coming to work with full face makeup, and now we’re all in our pajamas when we come to work. I’m definitely a lot more comfortable with myself and I don’t need to feel like I need to get dressed up every day. This is just like a home to us.

Excited or sad for the show to end?
I’m really looking forward to it. Right after this I go into an independent film called LOL with Demi Moore. With Hannah, I’ve been so attached for so long. It is so commercial and so franchised and done for such a big market. I’m going off that type of show into a film that is an indie movie. There isn’t a huge distributor behind it. I’ll be making a film that we think is going to touch people. It’s got a lot of edginess to it and it’s definitely not just for the fan base of Hannah Montana. You’ve just got to choose things that you really like and that are right for you at the time.

Miley’s life is so busy she does not have time for haters and tries to end a bad situation a quickly: ‘I stand up for my friends!’ Miley ignores negative people: ‘I won’t even pick up the phone because I don’t want to be part of it.’

Miley Cyrus won’t be told what she should wear or what she should sing about.

The 17-year-old is releasing new album, “Can’t Be Tamed,” and is doing it her way, even though some say she is going to too far for her age.

“I’m not trying to be ’slutty,’” said Cyrus in a recent interview. “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.”

What she wears has been put under the spotlight recently. Some thought the video for “Can’t Be Tamed” was too provocative, and others have criticized her for revealing too much skin in her outfits.

Cyrus admits to being partial to shorts and hot pants. But she sees nothing wrong with flashing her legs.
“I’m really comfortable with my body, I work really hard to be fit and to know that I can wear whatever makes me most comfortable. I feel more comfortable dressing with a little less, which is just how I’ve always been,” she said.

“Now I’m able to do that a little more freely and, also, I’ve just grown up to be this way too. It’s not like this was me five years ago. It’s me now, presently.”

Maturing is Cyrus’ current mission.

She’ll finally shed the blonde wig of her Disney pop star persona, “Hannah Montana,” when it ends this year. Then Cyrus will be free to embrace her solo stardom and sex appeal.

“When you’re 11, the word you would use to describe someone is definitely not sexy, and as you get older I think you grow into that. And I think I’ve done that but that’s not my schtick. That’s not what I’m trying to do to sell records. I want people to buy my record because of my music.”

Miley gave an interview to Portuguese television network SIC before her performance for Rock in Rio. Pink cheeks!

Nicholas Sparks has no love for people who call his stories “romances.”
The mega-best-selling author of The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John and Message in a Bottle stands in the aisle of Book Soup, literally and figuratively defending his turf.

“If you look for me, I’m in the fiction section. Romance has its own section,” he says toward the end of a long conversation. Sunshine streams in from Sunset Boulevard. He’s smiling. Hard.

“I don’t write romance novels.” His preferred terminology: “Love stories — it’s a very different genre. I would be rejected if I submitted any of my novels as romance novels.”

Rejection isn’t something he has had to deal with lately. Sparks holds the No. 1 and No. 2 positions on USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list with The Last Song, a novel turned movie vehicle for Miley Cyrus, and Dear John, recently released as a movie with Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum.

The Last Song movie, opening March 31, features Cyrus as a morose piano prodigy, reluctantly spending the summer with her estranged, dying father (Greg Kinnear). Cyrus’ real-life boyfriend, Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth, 20, plays a kid who falls for her.

They met on the shoot, which means Sparks is a matchmaker of sorts. When Cyrus joins Sparks in the stacks at Book Soup, he asks about her weekend: “What’d you do for fun? Out with Liam?”

Cyrus smiles widely. “At first, he was working, so I was cute,” she says. “I went and got him coffee, bought him an Elvis CD and went and gave it to him at the photo shoot.”
