Miley Cyrus may not be the best choice for anything right now but the 15-year old Hannah Montana star actually picked up her first VMA nomination for Best New Artist for ‘7 Things’. She’s up against her rumored rival, Katy Perry, with this summer’s massive hit ‘I Kissed a Girl’.

Little fan girls are running out of Jonas Brothers to fantasize about.

Taylor Swift was spotted backstage at the Jonas Brothers concert in Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday. The country sweetheart is said to be really good friends with Joe. And we all know what really good friends mean in the world of celebrities. But you do have to admit that they make a pretty hot pair. They could be the Rihanna and Chris Brown of the pop/country world.

Miley Cyrus and her dad Billy Ray are set to host the 2008 CMT Music Awards to be held on April 14 from Belmont University’s Curb Event Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
