Miley Cyrus: Photo Controversy 'Still Hurts'

Miley Cyrus says she was "embarrassed" by the brouhaha earlier this year over her semi-clothed Vanity Fair photos but thinks her fans realize that she's only human.



"I don't think people will look at me any differently, because they're like, 'You know what, I'm going to do stupid stuff too, and I'm going to make mistakes, and that's fine,'" Cyrus, 15, tells Billboard. "It still hurts when I think about it – but you know what, it doesn't mean that you can't move on."

The Hannah Montana star says fans can expect a very "grown-up" album in Breakout, in stores July 22.

"My last one, Meet Miley Cyrus, was more just meeting me, finding out who I am, and here it's more getting in depth of what's been going on in my life in the past year."

Cyrus wrote all but two of the songs herself.

"I just hope this record showcases that – more than anything – I'm a writer," she says.

She's already described her latest single and video, "7 Things," as an "angry little therapy moment for me."

Cyrus is in the middle of filming the feature film version of Hannah Montana in Nashville. She will be hosting the Teen Choice Awards in L.A. on Aug. 3.

Bret Michaels: I Still Love Ambre Lake

Poison frontman Bret Michaels will be looking for Miss Right again when VH1’s Rock of Love Bus starts shooting next month, but future contestants be warned: he’s still not over season 2 winner Ambre Lake. “I still love her,” Michaels told people on his luxury tour bus Tuesday night moments before stepping onstage at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey. “I’m not really over her yet. We still hang. She was just out with me a couple days ago and we were having a great time. She’s really got it. I think she’s great.” Season 1 winner Jessica Rickleff dumped the rocker soon after the show ended. In April, Michaels thought he had found love again in 37-year-old Lake. But in July, people reported that they broke up because of their conflicting work schedules. “The reason for destruction of all my relationships is that I’m passionate about being on the road and making music,” he says. “I have great relationships. But the women I date don’t realize that I spend between 6 and ...
