Billy Ray Thought Miley Would Bring "Hope" To The World

Billy Ray has revealed why he originally called his daughter Destiny Hope, before she changed her name to Miley Cyrus.

In an interview with Piers Morgan this week, the country singer told the talk show host that he thought the Party In The U.S.A. singer would bring "hope" to people.

"This was Miley's dream. This was her - I believe to touch people's lives. Through her music and her life," he told Piers. "I still believe that.

"You know, her name was originally Destiny Hope, I had given her the name before she was born because I had a vision. I felt it was her destiny to bring hope to the world.

"When I see her selling out arenas around the world or on her TV show, making people laugh, bringing families into the living room together, we always, try to put positive messages in each episode if we could.

"And, you know, I do think that she - this is her purpose - her path."

The Runway Light singer added about the LOL actress: "Miley really, really has a good heart. And she loves people. She loves music. She loves entertaining.

"There's a lot of things that Miley does that I wouldn't go into right now on a humanitarian basis. But Miley is a great humanitarian. She really cares about her fellow man, and people, and the planet and animals."

Miley Cyrus Bong Scandal Made Billy Ray Feel "Numb" With Pain

Talking with Piers Morgan in a new interview this week, Billy Ray Cyrus has opened-up about how he really felt when his daughter Miley Cyrus was caught smoking a bong last year.

Miley made headlines when video footage of the teen starlet leaked online, showing the actress and singer puffing on legal high Salvia with friends.

He now tells Morgan: "Bong-gate happened in the midst of my darkness, in my darkest hours.

"By then, I was a bit numb of pain at that time. And realizing that, you know, oh my gosh..." says the Achy Breaky Heart singer.

"As a father, I was alarmed for my daughter's safety but at the same time my whole world was crumbling apart beneath my feet anyway so there wasn't a whole lot I could do."

Despite the setback, Billy Ray is proud of what Miley has achieved in her career so far.

"I think she's well on her way to being the happiest I've ever seen her. I think she's thriving as an artist right now. She has two movies in the can that she's worked on over the past several months."

Demi Lovato Confessions: ‘Joe Jonas is Small, Smoked Weed with Miley Cyrus’

The troubled Disney star allegedly poured her heart out in rehab and revealed that everything you pretty much assumed is true. A confidant at Timberline Knolls spilled all of Demi’s confessions to The Dirty.

According to this anonymous fellow rehabber, Demi talked openly about all the things that plagued her including cutting, Joe Jonas’ penis size, smoking pot with Miley Cyrus, trying cocaine and heroin at a party and the back-up dancer beat down.

On the fact that those jelly bracelets weren’t the source of those marks on her arms: “She was bullied when she was younger which caused her to physically “relieve stress”(cutting) throughout the age of 11 to 18.”

On having sex with Joe Jonas who used her: “She openly admitted to members and patients in rehab, that she has had sexual intercourse with Joe Jonas and it started since the beginning of camp rock. That they would frequently do it and that the Jonas Brothers Purity ring was complete crap. None of the brothers followed that rule and was a “publicity gain” to make fans and more endorsements come in that was enforced by their father who was Demi’s manager. Joe and Demi dated earlier in the beginning of the Camp Rock Rise of Fame but she revealed that he was a “player who was in it for sexual gain” and his penis was “small”. She said he did the same to Taylor Swift, Camella Bell but Ashley Greene cheated on him with her ex, Jared Followill.

On smacking the back up dancer, Alex Welch: “Demi told staff that she had been frequent partying and had an experience with drugs and that Alex Welch threatened to tell Her family, manager and people from Disney; but Demi responded that it was “none of her business” and than physically attacked her which she realized was her breaking point and that she needed help.”

On the fact that salvia isn’t the only thing Miley Cyrus smokes: “She was a frequent marijuana user and would “smoke weed with Miley Cyrus”. She also tried ‘Cocaine and Heroin’ at a party but decided she hated it.”

Now lets all throw this some ‘well, duh’ and remember that the source was in rehab with Demi so the likelihood he/she would concoct a confessional of what we pretty much already knew in exchange for Dark Eyes Vodka and coupon for a free appetizer at Chili’s is a factor.

Demi Lovato Grateful Gomez And Cyrus Stood By Her Side

Disney star Demi Lovato is grateful for the support she received from high-profile pals Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus - because their love helped her get through her darkest days in rehab.

Lovato spent three months in a treatment centre at the end of 2010 and the beginning of this year (11), battling an eating disorder, self-harming and depression issues.

And the singer has now paid a special thanks to Gomez and the Party In The U.S.A. hitmaker for standing by her side, even though her decision to get help and speak out about her problems may have been considered "taboo".

During an E! News interview special with Ryan Seacrest, which aired in America on Wednesday (13Jul11), she said, "Selena and I hadn't spoken in a long time. We just had some issues that we had to deal with. But the day I went into treatment I get a phone call from her and she was the one sobbing on the phone.

"She was like, 'Are you OK? I've been crying non-stop. Are you sure you're OK?' And, all issues aside, I started crying too and I'm like, 'Yes, I'm OK.'"

Cyrus also took time out from her busy schedule to be there for her friend: "She sent me a Christmas present and that meant a lot to me because I didn't get Christmas presents in there (rehab)... I just have incredible friends."

Lovato has previously thanked ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas for the support he gave her while they were dating. The singer/actress was on tour with the Jonas Brothers in South America when she made the decision to seek help.

MILEY CYRUS, JUSTIN BIEBER, LADY GAGA & JONAS BROTHERS UP FOR WEIRDEST AWARD EVER 2011

SHORT OF AN AWARD FOR INTERESTING FOOT SHAPE OR EAR HAIR ANYWAY.

Ahh Selena Gomez will be gutted she's missing out on the nominations for this bad-boy! Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, The JoBros and Gaga herself will be swinging their handbags and getting their claws out over who should be the rightful winner of entry into the Bowling Hall of Fame.

Yes. Bowling.

Taylor Swift just beat Justin Bieber to the glory last year, so 2011's competition is sure to be heated.

Seeing as you can only vote if you live in the USA it's not actually that relevant to us, but a great opportunity for us to think of awards that the celebs should really be nominated for. E.g. Gaga could go for the 'I know you can see my nipple that's the point' award, and the JoBros could be a strong contender to bag the award for Crap Hair.

WERE SELENA GOMEZ AND MILEY CYRUS THERE FOR DEMI LOVATO DURING REHAB?

Demi Lovato's new single Skyscraper is a heartbreaking song about fighting back against her eating disorder and self harm which she spent several months in rehab overcoming. After rehab Demi tweeted the accusatory message, "Btw it's funny how people come around now that your (sic) back on your feet and comin' out with a single... Where were you last year?!" We wondered who she was referring to? Did old BFFs Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez abandon her?

Well the answer is NO. They were totes there for Demi when she needed them. Despite the fact that Demi's friendships with Selena and Miley had gone through rocky times, when it mattered they both came to her aid.

This makes us happy. Go girls sticking together!

In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Demi said:

"Selena and I hadn't spoken in a long time. We just had some issues that we had to deal with. But the day I went into treatment I get a phone call from her and she was the one sobbing on the phone.

"She was like, 'Are you OK? I've been crying non-stop. Are you sure you're OK?' And, all issues aside, I started crying too and I'm like, 'Yes, I'm OK.'"

Then discussing Miley she said, "She sent me a Christmas present and that meant a lot to me because I didn't get Christmas presents in there [rehab]... I just have incredible friends."

We're glad to see that Demi Lovato is still referring to Miley and Selena as 'friends'. We all know that Selena and Demi had gone through a rough patch but perhaps now, after rehab, they're stronger than ever.

Aw we hope they can one day be besties like this again. We forgot have funny they were together!

What do you think about Selena and Miley being there for Demi when she needed them? Who do you think wasn't there for her then? Do you want them all to be BFFs again or think they've grown up and grown apart?
