Miley’s country music star dad considers his daughter recent provocative dance moves as something normal for teenagers these days. “It’s what all people her age do” is the statement Billy Ray gave to the TMZ reporter on Thursday.

In a TMZ poll, “an overwhelming number of the responders said that the dance moves Miley did on the video was inappropriate. 40 percent of the responders felt her parents were to blame, even though they were not there at the time.

Miley Cyrus, who is now 17, does not live as a normal 17 year old would live in your neighborhood. For all intensive purposes, she is an adult.

Hundreds of hopefuls make their way to Nashville every year, looking to stake their own claim to fame in country music. Some arrive with nothing more than a guitar and lyric-filled notebook under their arm, everything they own packed in the bed of a rundown truck. Some, discovered in a honky-tonk or roadhouse in their home town, ride in on the promise of a publishing deal or recording contract, visions of gold records and tricked-out tour busses dancing in their heads.

Very few however arrive in Music City with as much baggage as Jessica Simpson. Not since 1970 when Hank Williams, Jr. signed the biggest recording contract in MGM history has so much doubt and criticism faced a young artist. Unlike Williams who was burdened by the ghost of his legendary father, the shadow Simpson is trying to escape is largely her own. Preconceptions based on her tremendously successful career as a pop singer, a brief marriage on display in a reality program, the subsequent post-marital tumult, headline generating relationships and awkward professional stumbles have woven a tapestry of misconceptions around her.

Pop star Madonna is urging her fans to dig deep to raise money to build a girls’ school in Malawi, the home country of her adopted son David.
The singer posted a message on her website saying the project was “very near and dear to my heart”.
She said she felt it was her mission to help “impoverished girls to reach their full potential”.
Madonna and her estranged husband, Guy Ritchie, adopted three-year-old David in 2006.
The adoption was made official in May 2008, just months before Madonna and Ritchie announced the end of their marriage after nearly eight years.
Speaking of the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls appeal, Madonna said: “There are very few girls in Africa in general who are encouraged or allowed to go to secondary school.
“So after spending a lot of time there I realised that one of the ways I could help was to build a girls’ school.”
She added: “Every donation counts towards helping impoverished girls to reach their full potential.”
More than half of the population of Malawi lives below the poverty line, and extreme weather – from drought to floods – puts its food supplies under constant threat.
There is also a high rate of HIV and Aids infection among the 13.9 million-strong population.

From the looks of it, there’s not much clowning around in Britney Spears’ Circus…despite the “Come one, come all!” lettering and primary-color palette.
Here lies the cover of the pop princess’ sixth studio album, which boasts the No. 1 single “Womanizer” as its first track and will almost certainly help the reinvigorated songstress start her 27th year off right when it drops Dec. 2 amid birthday wishes and intense scrutiny.
And with song titles like “Lace and Leather” and “Kill the Lights,” it appears as if the video for “Womanizer” barely scratched the surface of the kind of sexcapades Britney’s all up into now.
Coming on the heels of the record-breaking, chart-topping single—which gave Spears the biggest digital debut of any female artist since Nielsen SoundScan started keeping track—Zomba Label Group has revealed that Circus’ title track will be the next single released to whet your appetite for the main event.
Check out the complete track list and decide whether you’re planning to partake in Brit’s big-top adventure:

1. “Womanizer”
2. “Circus”
3. “Out From Under”
4. “Kill The Lights”
5. “Shattered Glass”
6. “If U Seek Amy”
7. “Unusual You”
8. “Blur”
9. “Mmm Papi”
10. “Mannequin”
11. “Lace and Leather”
12. “My Baby”
Bonus Track:
13. “Radar”

With her new album dropping November 2, will Britney Spears’ carefully orchestrated “comeback” include her hosting Saturday Night Live next month?
The recovering pop singer, whose father, Jamie Spears, was just named permanent conservator of her estate, is rumored to be hosting SNL November 22.
Somehow we don’t see it happening. Too hard for her people to script and control. Her “opening” the VMAs was about as much wiggle room as she gets.
Either way, Britney Spears and her dance crew are really getting down to business! Here’s another photo of her dance rehearsal courtesy of her official site:
Britney Spears works it… knee-high boots and cane style.

Continuing on with her European promotional circuit,  Miley Cyrus took to the stage for a performance in Berlin, Germany on Monday night (October 27).
The “Hannah Montana” starlet showed off her passion as she took the stage at Goya Club, rocking out with her most popular tunes including the instant hit “7 Things”.
Meanwhile, it appears as if Miley’s father Billy Ray is doing his best to make sure that his daughter keeps on the path toward continued success, as he allegedly told a close friend, “I told her in no uncertain terms that her career would be over if something stupid were to happen and she would no longer be a role model for young girls, something she takes very seriously.”
“I think I made an impression on her; at least I hope so. I don’t want to forbid her from dating because that would just make her sneak around. Miley is a really good kid, but she has to watch her step as far as boys are concerned,” he added.
