Brenda is pregnant with Trace’s baby and she is about eight weeks along, meaning that the baby will be arriving next spring. Miley is going to be an aunt soon! The former Hannah Montana star is reportedly thrilled about the news.

Although Trace and Brenda haven’t been dating for very long, “It was a pleasant surprise and the whole family is supporting them through this time,” an insider revealed. “They approve of the baby because they know how much Brenda and Trace really love each other,” the source added. Being pregnant at a young age is very hard. It’s great that Miley and the entire family are being so helpful during this happy, yet stressful, time. The amount of love and support that Brenda Song receives during her pregnancy is important.

Now that fans know Miley Cyrus is eager to meet her niece or nephew, most are wondering what Trace Cyrus thinks about becoming a young father, and how the couple will deal the pressure of being in the spotlight during this time.

Perhaps Miley’s partnership with this charity will take the focus off something she may or may not engage in regularly in her personal life. Whatever the case, ‘The Climb’ singer is using her infinite star power for a great cause and we applaud her for it.

In this clip, the signer is seated among six kids in white karate gis. Miley espouses the charity’s message in the space of 30 seconds, and then she is out of the shot, while the kids practice their moves.

This raises an obvious question. Well, a second obvious question, the one that immediately follows, “What the heck is the Celebrity Bowling Hall of Fame?”: How in the world did Cyrus win an award that clearly should have gone to Jeff Bridges, a man who has done more for the sport of bowling via his starring role in “The Big Lebowski” than virtually any other famous person, living or dead?

Bridges was indeed nominated for this high honor, which led to several weeks of voting on the Web site GoBowling.com. But the Dude came in fourth place — fourth! — behind Justin Bieber and Nick and Joe Jonas. My lifelong belief in the accuracy of non-scientific online polls has been completely shattered.

Bridges’s character elevated the awareness and appreciation of bowling — not to mention the especially niche activity of bowling while drinking White Russians — to a whole new level. What’s worse, this is the second year he’s missed the celebrity bowling inductee mark; last year, Taylor Swift won. What’s doubly worse: This injustice happened only a day before the “Big Lebowski” reunion, which takes place tomorrow night in New York. Serious bummer, man.

Granted, this is an immediately silly little poll that’s existed for just two years and is designed to bring some attention to the International Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum in Arlington, Tex., where actual, legitimate bowlers are honored. But still, the Dude really should not abide this.

Oh, and you know who else should not abide this? Bill Murray. He came in sixth place this year. While I don’t know what kind of bowling skills Cyrus possesses, I am pretty sure she could not have pulled off what Murray does below in this clip from “Kingpin.” At least not while rockin’ that hair to the tune of ELO’s “Showdown.”

Previous to that, she tweeted, “Funny how things change. I only want consistent friends NOT convenient friends. #RadiateLove.” Do you think she was talking about her following on Twitter? Probably not. It would be awfully tough to be close friends with over 2 million people.

Of course, other Disney alums like Demi Lovato have many more (she is nearing 4 million). Then there is Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez who is nearing 6.75 million followers. Can you even imagine?

Do you follow any of these stars on Twitter? If not, do you think you ever will? Does it surprise you that so many people in the world sign up to follow these star’s tweets?

Miley Cyrus is aggravated by the paparazzi and she took to Twitter to send them a little message, if you will. The teen queen was tweeted some “cute” photos and she immediately blamed the photogs for invading her privacy. You see, she had no idea that the paps were there snapping pictures!

“These pics are really cute but I didn’t know there was paps there. How rude. What invasion of privacy. Paps are low life scum,” she wrote to one fan. “Dear Paparazzi, please take your business else where. Go point your lenses at someone who wants the attention. Because I do not. Thanks,” Cyrus added for good measure.

Miley shares a sentiment that many celebrities do. The paparazzi are always watching, even when you don’t think they are; and while that might be creepy, it goes along with being famous. There isn’t any way for celebs to stop the paps, but the most important thing that they need to do is be careful and mindful. Always.

Miley is head over heels in love! The 18-year-old was no where to be found at the Teen Choice Awards, where all of her Hollywood peers were in attendance. But she wasn’t too far away, she was in LA with her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. The happy couple spent the afternoon driving around town in a convertible and were spotted stopping off at a meditation center. Do you think Miley is just so madly in love that she just doesn’t care about the Hollywood hype anymore?

Miley was dressed down in jean shorts, a white tank top, and black and white jacket. Liam, who is currently shooting his upcoming flick Hunger Games, wore a sleeveless navy tank and cargo shorts — Miley was even kissing his arm! These two have been spending tons of time together. They were just in Michigan on Orchard Lake riding personal watercraft devices — so cute!

Clearly Miley is putting love before her work and we think that’s great. Even though the Teen Choice Awards was filled with our favorite celebs, we would probably skip it like Miley to hang with our boyfriend too!

We’re so happy that these two are making their relationship work — doesn’t Liam seem like a great influence on Miley?

The ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ musician said that she is glad artists like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez are given more of a chance to mature as they grow older, but cautioned that they shouldn’t be too quick to grow up.

“They have a lot more freedom nowadays. I think they have more longevity as well,” Tiffany told Parade. “The transition from young teen start to adult is getting easier because I think we’re just expecting them to make that transition.”

Tiffany continued: “I also think that they’re in an even more adult world now. Deborah [Gibson] and I could never be in a club at 16. Partying in a club was just not acceptable. And wearing the kind of performance outfits that some of the girls are wearing now, that would have killed our careers.

“Some young stars go a little too far too soon. As a mom and now as an aunt with young nieces who want to be these people, I’m like, ‘Whoa, slow down’.”

Tiffany also revealed that she particularly admires Cyrus and Taylor Swift, explaining: “I’m a big Miley Cyrus fan. I think she’s really awesome. And definitely Taylor Swift. I think she’s set apart from everyone else because even though she’s a young girl, we never really looked at her like a teen star.

“[Swift] always came out really solid as a singer and songwriter and performer. I think she’s made some great choices in her career. She’s a smart girl and most importantly, she looks like she’s having fun and every performance is one of a kind.”

Tiffany is currently on tour with Gibson as part of the ‘Journey Through the ’80s’ tour, which travels to Cleveland, Ohio on Wednesday.
