Billy Ray Cyrus took 16-year-old daughter Miley to get her nose pierced. The "Achy Breaky Heart" singer was unsure about the "Hannah Montana" actress having the piercing, but wanted to be with her when it happened.

He revealed: "She said, 'Daddy would you take me to get my nose pierced?' I said, 'Did you ask your mamma?' and she said, 'Mamma said I can do it if you would take me.'"

Miley Cyrus is dating a former member of pop band Son Of Dork. The 16-year-old U.S. star has been romantically linked to British guitarist Steve Rushton, 22, who now plays guitar in her backing band for her film "Hannah Montana: The Movie."

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Steve relocated to the U.S. after signing his deal with Disney."

Miley Cyrus' boyfriend wishes he was a dog. Underwear model Justin Gaston - who has been dating the "Hannah Montana" star since last year - craves attention and would love to be a pampered pooch.

He said: "If I could, I'd be one of those little lapdogs that gets petted all day. You know, they wake up, get fed, get attention. I like attention. I'd like to be one of those little dogs. Is that weird?"

Miley Cyrus won't have sex until she gets married. The 16-year-old star - who has been dating underwear model Justin Gaston, 20, for seven months - has vowed to hold onto her virginity until her wedding night because of her strict religious upbringing.

She said: "I want to keep my virginity until I marry. I was brought up in a Christian family."
