Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus appears to be the opposite of Jamie Lynn Spears. Talented. Innocent. Lacking an insane, older sister.

But the singer who portrays Hannah Montana has nothing but good things to say about the knocked up sibling of Britney Spears.

"We've actually been talking," Cyrus said.

"She's now really excited, so I'm proud of her."

Miley Cyrus and Jamie Lynn Spears: Friends forever!

As for pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears' impending baby with Casey Aldridge, Miley says her pal has "done the best she can."

We're not sure what that means. We guess it's true that Spears hasn't fallen down any stairs and caused a miscarriage.

Shaquille O'Neal is now a member of the Phoenix Suns.

But it appears as though the future NBA Hall of Famer has always been a member of the Miley Cyrus fan club.

Shaq is seen here backstage before a Hannah Montana concert last week. And let's just say it takes a rather secure man to honor Elmo is such a fashion. We love it.

Or the box office, at least.

Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour earned over $29 million in theaters this weekend, an astounding figure considering the movie was only shown on 683 screens nationwide.

The film more than doubled the revenue of the second place finisher, Jessica Alba's awful-looking horror flick, The Eye.

Miley Cyrus is getting the last laugh in her racy picture scandal. She's guffawing all the way to the bank!

As if recent Miley Cyrus photos of the star in her underwear and - gasp! - standing next to another girl were not lewd enough...

On the heels of a few racy pictures leaked from her MySpace account, you'd think the portrayer of Hannah Montana would keep things as innocent as possible. Maybe stay away from straddling things, for example.

But the young singer apparently could not resist the temptation to mount a dolphin at the Mirage Hotel's Siegfried and Roy Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat in Las Vegas yesterday. We can guess what the aquatic mammal is thinking:

Eat your heart out, Nick Jonas!

Miley Cyrus had no comment on her latest round of possibly racy pictures during a recent interview with USA Today. But the popular singer did talk about her relationship with Nick Jonas.

Are these teen superstars dating?

Cyrus didn't elaborate much, simply replying: "We're just really good buds."

Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, has been slightly more forthcoming. When People magazine first reported on the potential couple in July, he explained: "What kids do these days is that they have group dates. She really hasn't had a date date."

According to Miley Cyrus, she is not dating Nick Jonas. But might Hannah Montana be hooking up with the young pop star?

Forget rumored plane crashes and ticket scandals.

Miley Cyrus has real problems on her hands.

Someone appears to have hacked into her MySpace account - and the results would almost make Antonella Barba proud.

What do you think? Is this Hannah Montana picture too racy for a 15-year old?

Some people hatch plans to fly planes into your concerts.

Others make up blatant, tasteless lies in order to win tickets.

Such is the increasingly hectic life of Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana. But the singer is trying to roll with it as best she can.

In response to a recent scandal, Miley is speaking out about the 6-year-old Texas girl who won Hannah Montana concert tickets last month after her mother concocted a story about her father dying in Iraq.

Suffice it to say, the girl's mom, Prescilla Ceballos, was outed and the lie exposed. Ceballos apologized, but the damage was done.

In an interview with Good Morning America, Miley Cyrus, 15, termed the situation "upsetting." Once Prescilla Ceballos' lie was exposed, contest sponsors took the tickets and other prizes away from the winner.

"I was really kind of upset. I mean, that's just not a cool scenario," says Cyrus. "But it just shows what people will do for a ticket."

Cyrus also says she is aware of just how desperate fans are for tickets to her concerts, even if it means burning holes in parents' wallets.

"People are paying thousands and thousands of dollars to come see one show. So we have to give 120 percent each time," she says.

Why not 125? Step it up, Miley.

Cyrus had no additional comment on her rumor breakup with Nick Jonas, or the racy photo scandal that shook the celebrity news world last month.

Not everyone is a fan of Hannah Montana.

According to numerous reports, a teenage passenger was detained after a Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles landed in Nashville - because he had planned on crashing the plane into a Miley Cyrus concert!

Nashville television stations, citing unnamed sources, said the teen unsuccessfully tried to hijack the plane to Lafayette, La., and crash it into a building where Cyrus was performing as her character, Hannah Montana.

Seen here as a gotch chic for an upcoming episode, Miley Cyrus was almost sent to her death in real life by a crazy teenager.

Southwest Airlines spokeswoman Brandy King said the passenger was removed from Flight 284 Tuesday night by authorities at Nashville International Airport. She declined to provide additional details because the boy in question is a minor.

WSMV and WTVF in Nashville reported the teen had handcuffs, rope and duct tape.

Now that Miley Cyrus has broken up with Nick Jonas, might she be moving on to an older man?

We're just kidding. While John Mayer might be a loser of a cheese ball, the singer isn't a pedaphile. He's just a fan.

That's why Mayer is seen here, posing backstage with 15-year-old Cyrus at the "Hannah Montana: Best of Both Worlds" Tour on Saturday during her Las Vegas stop.

Listen closely and you'll be able to hear the screams of millions of teenagers.

What's their excitement over? Just look at the photo below, pitting a pair of their favorite people in the world side by side: Miley Cyrus and Ashley Tisdale.

Miley, meanwhile, recently said she thought Britney Spears needed serious help.

"I think it's so crazy and I think that she [Britney] needs help," she told Extra. "If I didn't have [my family], I'd probably be in the same position.

"You just got to know who your true friends are, and I think for me, is my mom. If you have sisters, I mean any girls that are in your family, that can understand and relate to you, I think is the best."
