Miley Cyrus won’t be taking her boyfriend to the Academy Awards. The 'Hannah Montana’ actress – who is set to present an award at the forthcoming Oscars – is reportedly worried her appearance at the prestigious ceremony will be overshadowed if she is accompanied by Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. A source revealed: 'Liam’s a pretty low-key guy anyway, he doesn’t mind not going.' However, Miley won’t be walking down the red carpet alone at Los Angeles’ Kodak Theatre on March 7. Her representative said: 'She’s taking her mom, Tish.' Miley and Liam have never officially confirmed their romance, though the 17-year-old 'Hannah Montana’ star has previously admitted her closeness to the 19-year-old actor has helped boost her confidence. She said: 'We've decided that any type of relationship that we have, we will always just keep it very down low.

Lil Boosie Violates Probation, Judge Doubles Jail Time

Image
Lil Boosie is behind jail sooner than expected after failing to follow a judge’s instructions. According to Louisiana news network, WAFB, the Baton Rouge rapper showed up in court on Monday (November 9) for violating the terms of his probation, and a judge sent him directly to jail when his electronic ankle monitor revealed numerous infractions. As previously reported, Boosie copped a plea deal back in September for a drugs and weapons charge in 2008. In order to avoid trial in the case, he pled guilty and the judge agreed to only sentence him to two years, with him probably only having to serve one year on good behavior. Now Boosie’s jail time has doubled, with him having to serve at least two years behind bars. “I made some very foolish choices, but I was doing the best I could to provide for my family before I went away to jail,” he wrote in a statement. “Clearly I exercised terrible judgment and I hope to get the opportunity to prove that I can make great decisions for my family an...
