I always tell her to love what you’re doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinions.”

She also, apparently, loves making out with her Last Song co-star Liam Hemsworth. The two were caught snogging as Miley dropped Hemsworth off at the Nashville airport Wednesday, the New York Daily News reports, adding that the songstress has repeatedly Tweeted about her Australian co-star. Guess this means Nick Jonas is out of the picture again…

Billy Ray's mindset must be galaxies different than mine. Pushing a daughter into the fame machine would take a really strong stomach and total belief in oneself. Total. I can't even begin to understand how he can allow this to happen.
