Liam Hemsworth has filed for divorce from wife Miley Cyrus, 11 days after the couple announced their separation after just seven months of marriage. The 29-year-old Hunger Games star cited 'irreconcilable differences' in paperwork he filed on Wednesday in Los Angeles. The couple had a prenup so their individual earnings during the marriage will remain separate and there is no request for spousal support. As the duo don't have children together the divorce should be finalized fairly swiftly.

A short homage to Westerns. Country legend Billy Ray Cyrus makes his comeback...with a 19 year old rapper.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em -- and if the daughter you tried to raise as a Christian Disney princess ends up twerking with stuffed animals in her underwear, well, it's probably time to remake your novelty country hit into a hip-hop anthem, throw in some half-naked twerking aliens, and surrender.

Billy Ray Cyrus has rushed to the defense of his pop star daughter Miley insisting that she has ''risen to a whole new level'' since her controversial performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last month. The 52-year-old actor and country singer said he is proud of his 20-year-old daughter and understands that she wants to leave her Disney image behind.

The singer Billy Ray Cyrus was supposed to be interviewed on television this week, but he canceled. And who could blame him? His daughter, Miley, embarrassed herself and her family on worldwide TV. Her narcissism on full display, the 20-year-old pop star simulated sexual activity with an older male singer while singing some kind of suggestive song. With millions of young people watching, the scene was as degrading as it was unnecessary. As her father, Mr. Cyrus should be mortified by Miley's behavior. He's made no direct comment about it, but he should. Generally speaking, there is an epidemic of...

I was thinking about the Miley Cyrus kerfuffle the other night while watching a Duck Dynasty marathon. I'm a recent convert to the show, being wary of most of what falls under the category "reality show." One can never be sure when treading into the dark waters of so-called "reality" TV that Miss Kay is at all different from Mama June. Miley is taking a bit of a beating for her performance on MTV's Video Music Awards. While the backlash is understandable -- she is an adult and therefore responsible for her own behavior -- did she really even stand...

Just saw on the Piers Morgan Show on CNN where that overrated one-hit wonder Billy Ray Cyrus has endorsed Obama. This worthless airhead said "he's tried so hard, he just needs four more years. I think it was a brilliant move when he said he was in favor of gay marriage. Why can't we quit fighting and just love one another". I almost threw up. So this no-talent, one-hit wonder joins the Dixie Chicks and doper Willie Nelson as the only liberals in country music. Although I never called the hollering Billy Ray Cyrus a country singer. He needs to...

The parents of teenage pop star Miley Cyrus have decided to call off their divorce. During an interview with "The View" on Friday, Billy Ray Cyrus revealed that he has canceled the divorce with his wife of 17 years, Tish Cyrus. He also cleared up some misunderstandings about his recent controversial interview with GQ where he blamed Disney for his family's problems. The 49-year-old said, "To set the record straight, I love Hannah Montana. I love Disney. That didn't tear my family apart. Now fame, fame it's a different animal. Fame, you have to be careful with that thing." In...

Unfortunately, being called “Mr. Hannah Montana” in a glossy-magazine headline is far from Billy Ray Cyrus’s biggest problem. As many a headline has proclaimed, the once country, once Pax-network, once Disney-Channel star seems to be suffering from a brutally true-to-life “Achy Breaky Heart.” Cyrus is divorced from his wife and somewhat separated from his famous daughter, Miley, born Destiny Hope. Talking about his time co-starring as Hannah Montana’s dad in his daughter’s series by that name, he tells GQ, “You think, ‘This is a chance to make family entertainment, bring families together’ . . . and look what it’s turned...

Country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus blames Disney's "Hannah Montana" for his daughter Miley Cyrus' issues, angrily saying "the damn show destroyed my family," the New York Post reported Tuesday. Blaming publicists and Miley's handlers, Cyrus gives an anguished interview in GQ's March issue, where he adds he wishes "Hannah Montana" never happened. "I hate to say it, but yes, I do. I'd take it back in a second," said Cyrus, who is divorcing Miley's mother, Tish. Reflecting on Miley's controversial moments -- including seductive photos on the internet, pole-dancing at the Teen Choice Awards, and posing for Vanity Fair draped...

Miley Cyrus's parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, are divorcing after 17 years of marriage, they tell PEOPLE. "As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family," they say in a statement. "We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers." The couple have five children, including the pop star. Divorce papers were filed Wednesday in Tennessee citing irreconcilable differences.

Miley Cyrus's nine-year-old sister is set to raise eyebrows again with news she is launching a clothing line for children. Noah, who is not even high school age yet, is teaming up with best friend Emily Grace Reaves, eight, and Ooh! La, La! Couture designers for the project. The two youngsters will release the 'trendy, sweet, yet edgy' designs in time for Valentine's Day. However, parents may raise an eyebrow or two at the grown-up nature of the slightly risqué designs. But whatever spin is put on it, some will see the venture as a little perverse. Back in October,...

ABC Primetime has a segment on, now, about a brother and sister who want to marry. First they softened us up with gay "rights" - now, the next rung down the ladder to barbarism. You supporters of Rudy for President - a gay rights advocate - this is what you're buying into: a slippery slope to barbarism.

Love it or hate it, you have to admit: A mullet hairstyle is distinctive There are two kinds of people in this country, and forget that blue-state, red-state thing. You're either for a mullet or against a mullet. What's a mullet? Do not mock us. Yes, a mullet is a spiny-finned, feeble-toothed fish, but we all know it's so much more. A mullet is a hairstyle characterized by the hair cut short in front and on the sides but kept long down the back. It's not a cutting-edge style. But recently, the mullet has re-emerged as a pop culture object...

There's only so many times you can listen to Forever in Blue Jeans, Song Sung Blue and September Morn before you lose your mind. That's what happened to Panthers Associate Equipment Manager Scott Tinkler on the morning of Feb. 21 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Maybe having heard one too many Neil Diamond songs, Tinkler was at his wit's end with the Panthers' wretched CD collection. It only boiled over when the Flyers' equipment assistant started making fun of it ...
