Teen sensation MILEY CYRUS never turns to her dad BILLY RAY for advice on boyfriends - because the country singer is rarely sympathetic when it comes to his daughter’s love life.
Cyrus split from Jonas Brothers star Nick Jonas last year (08) and is currently dating model/musician Justin Gaston.
But the 16-year-old singer/actress admits she keeps her relationship woes to herself - because her father is never any help when she is troubled by romance.
She tells Hello magazine, "Dad just doesn’t get it. He’s just like, ‘Suck it up and get over it! You’ll find another one! There’s more fish in the sea and he wasn’t that good-looking anyway!’ He actually did say that once. He’s a harsh man to my boyfriends. He’s usually cool with them when they’re with me… But once it’s over - once they dump me or I dump them - then he’s always down for bashing them."

Rapper JIM JONES will stand trial this June (09) in relation to charges of assault stemming from a December (08) brawl with NE-YO’s manager.
The Diplomats crewmember is facing a count of misdemeanour assault after clashing with Jayvon Smith on Christmas Eve (24Dec08) at a Louis Vuitton store in New York.
Jones, who turned down a plea deal last month (Mar09), made a brief appearance in a Manhattan court on Tuesday (21Apr09), when a judge scheduled his trial for 4 June (09).

Leemon tells XXL.com, "I always listen (to plea deals) but at this point we’re preparing for trial." Smith has since filed a $7 million (£4.8 million) civil suit against Jones for damages.

Puerto Rican actress/singer ROSELYN SANCHEZ is begging Broadway producers to consider her for a role - because starring on the New York stage is the reason she moved to the city.
After achieving minor acting success in her native country, Sanchez moved to the Big Apple at the age of 21 to pursue her love of musical theatre in the Big Apple.
Fifteen years on, the actress has starred in a number of movies and TV shows, including a regular part in small screen hit Without a Trace - but she’s still waiting to fulfil her Broadway dream.
She says, "I want to do musical theatre. I want to do Broadway - that’s my dream. And I’ve never done it. I did a TV show for three years. Then I moved here to New York to do musical theatre. That was what I cam here for."

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has confirmed he will appear in the new TERMINATOR movie - but he won’t be filming a single scene.
The action star-turned-California governor prompted speculation he would return to the franchise last year (08), when he was photographed on the set of Terminator Salvation, starring Christian Bale.
The reports sparked outrage among California citizens amid fears the Austrian-born star was abandoning his political responsibilities to return to the big screen.
But Schwarzenegger has assured civilians his cameo appearance in director Joseph "McG" McGinty Nichol’s film has already been shot - producers plan to use footage from the original Terminator movie and splice it in.
Schwarzenegger explains to Entertainment Weekly, "I made it very clear that I don’t have the time to do the movie. I said that I would be willing to be in the movie if they get the technology together, and so they are working on that right now.
"They would basically take technology out of Terminator I, and use that walk of mine and somehow bring it in (to the new film). It’s just a brief scene." Schwarzenegger shot to fame playing the cyborg in 1984’s Terminator, and followed it up in 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day and 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

OPRAH WINFREY is embroiled in a legal battle with the bosses of an insurance company over the use of her signature catchphrase, the "Aha moment".
The media titan is known for using the phrase to describe a revelation on The Oprah Winfrey Show and in her O magazine.
But the catchphrase is now at the centre of a dispute between the mogul and executives at Mutual of Omaha Bank, after Winfrey took issue to their advertising campaign featuring the slogan, "Official sponsor of the aha moment".
The mogul’s lawyers fired off a cease and desist letter to the bank, claiming Winfrey owned the rights to the catchphrase and demanding they call off plans to run their promos, fearing the star’s fans may be misled into thinking she was affiliated with them.
However, the Mutual of Omaha Bank has hit back with a lawsuit, alleging Winfrey "abandoned" any rights she may have to the phrase by failing to "police the alleged mark" when other businesses used it beforehand.
The suit was filed in a federal court in Nebraska on Wednesday (22Apr09) and bank lawyers have requested the judge allow them to press ahead with their promotional campaign, according to TMZ.com.

Rap superstar SNOOP DOGG has been named and shamed as the latest celebrity indebted to the state of California - he’s failed to pay more than $284,000 (£195,860) in back taxes.
The Drop It Like It’s Hot hitmaker, real name Calvin Broadus, had a tax lien filed against him last month (Mar09), which accused the rapper of owing $284,053.59 (£195,899.03), reports TMZ.com.
He’s not the only musician not up to date with his taxes - soul star Dionne Warwick was recently listed in California’s top 10 worst offenders, while rappers Xzibit, Method Man and Lil’ Kim have also run into trouble with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

BEYONCE KNOWLES was a hellraiser as a teen and even tried to run away from her strict parents.
The singer reveals she changed her mind when her mum Tina called her bluff.
Knowles says, "I definitely ran away and she definitely told me, ‘Holla!’ (Goodbye!) She was watching and I had made the decision (to run away) and I was like, ‘Maybe I won’t run away.’ She tested me." But the star insists her mum would never have let her run away for real, adding, "I’m from Houston (Texas). I’m a southern girl, so I was raised like that… but she wouldn’t have left me on the side of the road, definitely not."

Rapper BOW WOW is desperate to find the woman of his dreams and settle down - because he’s tiring of living life as a bachelor.
The Like You hitmaker, real name Shad Moss, has been romantically linked to Reverend Run’s daughter Angela Simmons in recent months, and appeared to confirm the rumours by declaring her the "love of (his) life" in a recent Giant magazine interview.
Simmons immediately dismissed Bow Wow’s claims - and now he’s on the look out for a new love to spend the rest of his life with.
Bow Wow acknowledges his search for ‘The One’ at the age of 22 might be surprising to some - but he insists starting his career so young means he’s had more experience with women than most of his peers.
He tells Vibe magazine, "I’ve calmed down so much. Even though I’m young, I got spoiled early. In Atlanta, with Jermaine Dupri, I was in the strip clubs at nine years old. All this stuff is old to me. I just want to find the one, want her to move in with me, and go hard for her." But Bow Wow, who’s previously dated R&B beauty Ciara, won’t be settling for just any girl. He adds, "Let’s say she gives it up on the first night. That’s not going to bring me closer to her. When a girl tells me ‘no’, now you’re making me chase you - which I don’t mind."

Scialfa is a member of Springsteen’s E-Street Band and was due to join the singer on stage at his TD Banknorth Garden show this week.

MILEY CYRUS has fuelled reports she’s rekindled her romance with ex-boyfriend NICK JONAS after spending another intimate evening with the JONAS BROTHERS star.
The pair met for a lunch date one week after Cyrus teamed up with Nick and his brothers Joe and Kevin Jonas to record a music video for Disney song Pass It On earlier this month (Apr09).
The date prompted rumours she’s heading for a split from her 20-year-old model/singer boyfriend Justin Gaston to reunite with Jonas - and according to the New York Daily News, the Love Bug star is pressuring Cyrus to break the news to Gaston sooner rather than later.
A source tells the newspaper, "Miley and Nick want to get back together. Because they’re working together (on a new video), they’ve been put in close proximity to each other. They’re now spending more and more time together, and they’re constantly on the phone.
"Miley was over at the Jonas house recently, and they were smooching. Nick’s parents have this rule that when a girl is over, the door has to be open, but that didn’t stop Nick and Miley from making out.
â��She doesnâ��t know how to tell Justin that theyâ��re over, but Nick is being very firm with her. Heâ��s a good, stand-up kind of guy, and is making Miley tell Justin very, very soon. Heâ��s being tough about it.â�� Cyrus, 16, split from the Jonas Brothers star last year (08). She’s been dating Gaston for the last eight months.
A spokesperson for Jonas has refused to comment on the reports, stating, �We have no comment on our client�s personal life.�

JAMIE FOXX’s teenage daughter has written a letter to MILEY CYRUS to apologise for her dad’s crude joke about the young star.
The actor/comedian provoked outrage when he urged 16-year-old Cyrus to "make a sex tape… do some heroin… and become a lesbian" on his Foxxhole radio show earlier this month (Apr09).
Foxx has publicly apologised to the teen, insisting his comments were made in jest - but Cyrus’ country star dad Billy Ray has yet to offer his forgiveness, dubbing the Oscar winner’s comments "hurtful".
The country star complained, "There wasn’t nothing (sic) funny about it. And, quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter, he might not find it so comedic." Foxx admits his remarks were "insensitive", and has now enlisted his 14-year-old daughter Corinne to write a letter to the teen star in a bid to end the feud.
He says, "I don’t want to defend my position as a comedian to be further insensitive to Miley on (U.S. late night show) Jay Leno. We apologised to Miley and reached out to her.. and so we’ll move on.
"My daughter has written a letter to her. We’re going to get that to her and like I said, I don’t want to defend it.. you can’t defend it."

The father of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE star RUBINA ALI has officially been cleared by Indian police over allegations he attempted to sell his young daughter.
Rafiq Qureshi was quizzed by police in Mumbai earlier this week (20Apr09) after British newspaper News of the World alleged he offered to auction off the nine-year-old for $300,000 (£200,000).
Rubina’s mother Khurshida, who abandoned the family in 2001, claimed she learned of the sale two weeks ago and alerted police to investigate.
Qureshi protested his innocence throughout the scandal, telling People.com the story was a "lie made up by foreign journalists playing games with me".
And authorities have failed to find any evidence to back up the claims - announcing on Thursday (23Apr09) that they had dropped their investigation into the case.
Senior police inspector Rahim Shaikh says, "There is not any crime. The matter is closed. No money changed hands. Rubina is here. There is no crime."

ROBERT PATTINSON fears he’ll never be able to find love - because he doesn’t want to drag a girlfriend into his crazy life.
The actor has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame after landing the lead role of Edward Cullen in cult vampire movie Twilight.
Despite becoming one of Hollywood’s hottest hunks overnight, Pattinson insists fame and fortune haven’t come without a price - because the constant interest in his life has made him a "paranoid wreck".
And the actor isn’t sure he could bring a partner into his spotlight because the pressure of having a famous boyfriend would be too hard.
He admits to Entertainment Tonight, "I’m always really worried about ruining their (girlfriends) lives.
"Especially with people that aren’t famous. It’s such a massive change. I’m kind of a paranoid wreck.
"It’s getting photographed. You have people who analyse your facial expressions to the tiniest degree. So you’re just trying to avoid getting photographed. You’re like, ‘Jesus, you can’t win.’"

Actress MISCHA BARTON is determined to land a role in a Shakespearean play - and has even taken a course on the playwright to improve her chances.
The former O.C. star has decided to take a break from pursuing movie roles to concentrate on a stage career.
And Barton insists gaining a part in one of the Bard’s works is her top priority.
She says, "I recently did a Shakespeare course because they don’t teach Shakespeare properly in American schools. But I suppose as with any play it is about finding the right cast and actors and script for you."

GREY GARDENS co-stars DREW BARRYMORE and JESSICA LANGE have dismissed reports of a rift over the upcoming Emmy Awards nominations.
Internet gossip began circulating this week (20Apr09) suggesting the two actresses, who star in the new HBO TV movie, were feuding over which one will be considered for a Best Actress nomination at the Prime Time Emmy Awards.
Studio bosses are said to have suggested Barrymore should run for the coveted prize, leaving Lange to compete in the Best Supporting actress category - reportedly causing a spat between the two stars.
HBO executives subsequently agreed to let the pair go head-to-head in the lead category, according to New York Post gossip column PageSix..
A source tells the publication, "(Lange’s) immediate reaction was that she’s won two Oscars, and that she has equal screen time to Barrymore. She felt she wasn’t a supporting character in the film, and that it’d be dishonest and a manipulation of votes. She didn’t want a part of it." But a representative for HBO says, "HBO would never presume to dictate which category an actor chooses for award submissions. We do engage in a dialogue with actors and filmmakers to facilitate the process, but the actor’s decision is always final." Lange also hit back at the claims - insisting the decision was never contested.
The spokesperson adds, "Prior to the decision being made, there was lots of discussion between Drew, the studio and Jessica. Obviously people wanted a scenario where everyone was happy. At the end of the day, HBO was the one who looked at the screen time and made the call." The Emmy Awards will take place in September (09).
