Miley gets a piercing, her ex is now named in anti-discrimination lawsuit
Miley is coming out with the upper hand after her break up with Justin Gaston. She is reportedly hooking up again (or at least hanging out) with her ex Nick Jonas, and both of them have said, in separate interviews, that they have “reconnected.” Whether or not they are an item again, she has also been making out with a hot guy on the beach for her new movie, a film version of the Nicholas Sparks book The Last Song. And now, she has a new nose piercing. Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, says that he was nervous about it but took her to a place in Studio City to get it done.
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.'”
“We went to a little place in studio city. I felt kind of nervous.”
Billy – who stars alongside Miley in “Hannah Montana” – also admits he found it hard when his daughter began to date but accepts he has to let her get on with her life.
He added to U.S. TV talk show host Larry King: “You probably heard the song I wrote, ‘Ready, Set, Don’t Go.'”
“It’s about that moment in a daddy’s life that you realize your little girl has grown up. It’s time for her to make her own decisions.”

I have to say, I’m kind of jealous. I wanted a nose piercing so badly when I was in high school, but I couldn’t because my parents wouldn’t let me. But on the other hand, I wasn’t going through a public breakup with a 20-year-old, so there is that. Miley and Justin’s breakup has been not only public because Miley is in the spotlight, but also because they have been twittering about each other, not-so-secretly. On June 8th, Justin wrote, “How many tears are in* there? They’ve gotta run out soon right?” And perhaps in response to Miley’s “I’m in love all over again – with Savannah,” he wrote: “So I fell in love today.. With my gibson.. Seriously it’s so beautiful and it was just sitting there singing to me.. I couldn’t help it.”
Their maybe-innocent love notes aside, Justin has now been named in the lawsuit accusing Miley of anti-Asian racism. Lucie Kim, the woman filing the suit, claims that since Justin was an adult at the time (he was 20 while Miley was 15), he should be held responsible for the photograph:
Lucie Kim now claims Justin should have put the kibosh on the pic because he was an adult.
According to the amended lawsuit, Miley’s parents gave Justin authority to “supervise, manage, guard, and oversee [Miley’s] conduct while in [his] presence.”
Now here’s where the plot thickens. Even though Kim believes Justin was responsible, she didn’t add him as a defendant to the $4 billion lawsuit. We’re guessing it’s because the only 4 billion Justin knows is the burgers he’ll be selling at McDonald’s.

It seems silly to imply that Justin was “in charge” of the people at the party. He’s Miley’s boyfriend, not her babysitter. Following her logic, wouldn’t anyone 18 or older at the party be responsible for the underage kids? If so, why isn’t the guy holding a glass of red wine named in the suit?
It will be interesting to see where this lawsuit goes. It’s for $4 billion, an exorbitant amount, and if taken to court, I doubt they will rule in Kim’s favor. It will probably be settled out of court by Miley’s lawyers. Miley has already issued two apologies, one a sort of “I’m sorry,” and the other more sincere. Although this particular legal issue will probably be dropped, if Miley does something like this again, she clearly hasn’t learned her lesson.
