Exclusive: Miley Cyrus Appreciates Her Older Fans Too

Miley-Cyrus

Miley Cyrus tweeted that her time at VH1 Divas last night was the “BEST MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!” Pretty strong words but, you know, she’s got all those teenage emotions raging inside of her and sometimes they just gotta come out. We chatted with the starlet on the red carpet just before she went onstage to perform our fave song of the summer, “Party In The U.S.A.,” and asked her how she feels about her, uh, older fans. You know, us 30-year-old ladies who skip past Grizzly Bear on our iPods to rock out to our favorite tween star.

“I like it,” she told TheFABlife. “I don’t think there should be a certain age or a certain demographic of music. I think the biggest people that stand on this carpet are the ones that kids who are 6 and people that are 60 can listen to their music.”

When we mentioned that all our adult pals are super into her tunes, Miley laughed. “Sweet!” she replied. “That’s awesome, ‘cuz I probably wouldn’t be standing here if they weren’t.” [Photo: GettyImages]

What’s The Connection Between Lindsay, Audrina And Their Coke-Snorting Burglar?

That’s the question we’re trying to answer today, after the LAPD arrested 18-year-old Nicholas Prugo for breaking into LiLo’s house in August. The kid is also a suspect in the burglary of Audrina Patridge‘s home, which was robbed in February. Back then ol’ Dead Stare revealed that the thief nabbed “a few very sentimental things,” and Lindsay‘s people said that “personal belongings” were taken in that heist. How fishy – what would Prugo – who was also busted for cocaine possession in February – want with Audrina’s I Love Justin-Bobby t-shirt and Lindsay’s Samantha Ronson collages anyway?

There’s also a second suspect in the case – 19-year-old Rachel Lee, who is allegedly the woman posing with Prugo in his Facebook picture (above). There seems to be more to this story than just two random robberies. Do you think there’s a connection between the two stars and Prugo that we’re missing? [Photo: GettyImages, Facebook]

Taylor Swift Is The Lady In Red

After a week that started off with a tumultuous VMA night where Kanye West stole her thunder, Taylor Swift looked the picture of elegance while attending the Tommy Hilfiger show at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. Taylor was a vision in red as she took in the show and then joked around backstage with Russell Simmons. Looking amazing is the best revenge! [Photos: Stephen Mao]

Paula Abdul Declares Liza Minelli The Next American Idol

As we watched the VH1 Divas show broadcast from the Brooklyn Academy of Music and caught a whiff of the fact that Ms. Liza Minelli was in the audience, we almost peed our pants with excitement. While some of us from VH1 were live-blogging from the show, others were watching from our homes in Brooklyn, a mere mile from Liza, one of our heroes — she was so close! Oh, and what’s that? Liza is actually going to appear onstage? With Paula Abdul? And accept Paula’s shoes as an award?! Yes, please. This delightful bit of crazytown had us on the edge of our seat — both Paula and Liza (“with a Z”) are seasoned performers but both have a dash of “the meds make me forget things” that made us worry they were veering off script. They saved it though in the end and we found Liza thrilling as always…even if she didn’t sing for us.

Avril Lavigne And Deryck Whibley Are Divorcing

avril-main

When Avril Lavigne and Sum 41 vocalist Deryck Whibley got married, she was 21 and he was 25. Pretty young by Hollywood standards, but we had hope for the relationship – they had dated for years and she seemed to be the anti-Hollywood girl who might just make it last. Sadly, amid rumors of partying solo and spending long stretches apart, the couple has confirmed that they’re separating. On her personal website, Lavigne wrote “Deryck and I have been together for 6 and a half years. We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note.”

We wish them the best and we’re sure that Avril will find herself a new Sk8r Boi to rebound with soon. [Photo: Getty Images]
