Miley Cyrus Surprises Lauren Alaina On ‘American Idol’

Teen finalist met her real-life idol during mentoring session on Wednesday night’s episode. By James Dinh Miley Cyrus on “American Idol” on Wednesday Photo: FOX Superstars swing through the hallways of “American Idol” on a weekly basis, but on Wednesday (April 27), Lauren Alaina was greeted by one of her very own idols. Miley Cyrus surprised the finalist with an impromptu visit during her mentoring session. With the assistance of Babyface and Jimmy Iovine, Alaina’s weekly training session was running smoothly as she rehearsed her cover of Carole King’s “Where You Lead.” “About halfway through my meeting with Jimmy, he had a big surprise for me,” Alaina gushed to viewers in a pre-taped segment on the show. “Miley Cyrus walks in. I was like [ jaw drops open ] … she was so nice and she gave me such great advice.” With her long curly locks and dressed in an all-black ensemble, Cyrus offered a hug to the aspiring songstress and shared a few friendly words of advice. “I listen to your music all the time. You’re awesome,” the “Hannah Montana” star told the 16-year-old. “The most important thing you can do is just do it for yourself because you will always have mean comments. People will always talk about you and that’s never going to change.” Alaina’s impromptu visit from Miley seemed to have boosted her confidence for Wednesday night’s performance. From those high-hitting notes to her inviting a male audience member onstage, the contestant playfully strutted, ending her performance with a chuckle. News of Cyrus’ surprise appearance on “Idol” hit the Internet early Wednesday morning when E! Online reported that Iovine asked the superstar to be a mentor as a result of a remark he’d made earlier in the competition. A few weeks back, Alaina chose to sing Cyrus’ hit song “The Climb,” which led Iovine to tell the contestant she was “a much stronger singer than Miley Cyrus.” What did you think of Miley’s mentoring advice?

Miley Cyrus And Charlie Sheen Trade ‘Epic’ Posts On Twitter

‘Always felt you were epic! Now you proved it!’ the ‘Two and a Half Men’ star tweets at Miley. By Aly Semigran Miley Cyrus Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Winning? In what can only be described as one of the more bizarre friendships to originate on Twitter, Miley Cyrus and Charlie Sheen have formed something of a bond on the social networking site. Cyrus, who just recently returned to Twitter — she left back in 2009, telling followers it was at the suggestion of on-again, off-again boyfriend Liam Hemsworth — has become one of the former “Two and a Half Men” star’s record-breaking 3.4 million-plus followers. On Sunday, Cyrus tweeted from her new account, @gypsyhearttour: “Do not fear…the Sheenius is here!’ I’m not gonna lie. I came back to twitter for 2 reasons. My fans and to follow Charlie Sheen.” Since then, the 18-year-old has been trading tweets with the troubled 45-year-old actor, who is currently on the road with his shaky My Violent Torpedo of Truth tour. “Dear Miley, Welcome back to Twitter! Always felt you were epic! Now you proved it! Thanks for the love,” Sheen wrote in response to Cyrus, to which she replied, “I always felt the same about you! You have taught me everything I know about WINNING. Duh!” Cyrus, who won the Favorite Movie Actress at the Kids’ Choice Awards over the weekend, shared on Monday, “Makin dinner for my fam right now. Honey sesame chicken, garlic rice & salad. There’s only one thing missing & that’s Charlie Sheen.” Cyrus even gave a shout-out to Conan O’Brien in one of her Sheen-based tweets, when she posted, “The only person that even comes close to winning as hard core as @charliesheen is @ConanOBrien =] I will see ya tonight @ 11 COB! TWEET ME!” Of course, this isn’t the first time the former “Hannah Montana” star has caused a stir with her Twitter conversations. In October 2009, she aired out what was believed to be a fued with fellow Disney starlets Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez . Cyrus posted a picture of herself with Lovato, who had become close to Gomez, and wrote, “Now this is what true friendship looks like. None of that hollywood crap. @ddlovato I miss you = ]” Cyrus also had a minor Twitter battle with ex-boyfriend Justin Gaston that year. In one post Gaston wrote, “People mistake stupidity for bravery way to easily.” The “Party in the USA” singer then shot back, “Yeah. I love when people mistake bravery with writing a few stupid tweets trying to make it seem like they don’t care. You’re afraid to love.” What do you think of Miley Cyrus and Charlie Sheen chatting on Twitter? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists Miley Cyrus

Kids’ Choice Awards 2011: The Show And Winners List

Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus awarded on slime-filled Nickelodeon night. By Aly Semigran Russell Brand and Rico Rodriguez get slimed onstage during Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards Photo: Kevork Djansezian/ Getty Images For 23 years, Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards has been an event in which celebrities can truly let loose. After all, it’s hard to have an ego when you’re getting covered in green slime or being inducted into the Arm Fart Hall of Fame (we’re looking at you, Josh Duhamel). Nick’s 2011 awards show, which aired lived on the network Saturday from Los Angeles, kept with its tradition of stars finding themselves in some truly outrageous situations. Host Jack Black , who was at the helm for the third time (he last helped hand out those coveted orange kaleidoscope blimps in 2008), kicked things off with an over-the-top musical number. The funnyman, wearing a black leather jumpsuit with flames — the first of many quirky wardrobe changes — was joined by a group of dancers to perform his own rendition of the Black Eyed Peas ‘ hit “I Gotta Feelin’.” Black then introduced the group, as the “Jack Black Eyed Peas,” and joined them onstage for “The Time (Dirty Bit).” BEP, who later won the award for Best Music Group, then sang their next single, “Just Can’t Get Enough.” The first award of the evening was given out to Johnny Depp , who won Favorite Movie Actor for his performance in ” Alice in Wonderland .” Depp, who emerged from backstage, told the kiddie crowd and voters it was “truly a pleasure to receive this award that comes from you guys. I appreciate it.” After apologizing for beating Black in the category, Depp told Nick viewers, “You guys are the future; take good care of us.” The actor then proceeded to get in on the fun, sliming the group of young fans who stood at the foot of the stage. Depp’s stunt led to one of the evening’s most memorable — and by far, funniest — moments when “Arthur” actor Russell Brand and “Modern Family” star Rico Rodriguez appeared onstage soon after to present the award for Favorite Voice from an Animated Movie (the blimp eventually went to Eddie Murphy, who got the crowd to sing him “Happy Birthday,” for his role in “Shrek Forever After”). Before Brand and Rodriguez could even begin their banter at the podium, the freshly slimed youngsters began throwing the green, gooey mess at the two stars. In response to the mayhem, Brand declared, “I’m never having children.” Brand continued, as he guarded Rodriguez from the kiddie coup, “I am English! I am your leader! You must not do this, I am royalty! You are all going to juvenile hall. You children are going to prison. You are bad children!” Brand, who is voicing a character in the animated feature “Hop,” cried that the moment was not in the script, then joked, “Johnny, I wished you’d drowned them.” They weren’t the only stars to get slimed during the broadcast. Heidi Klum, who almost took a spill thanks to her sky-high heels, got hit, as did Jason Segel, who received a slime slushie courtesy of Jane Lynch. Even Snoop Doog — who joined pop-rock group and Nick stars Big Time Rush for their song ” Boyfriend ” — got doused in the green stuff. As Willow Smith performed her hits “21st Century Girl” and “Whip My Hair,” the 10-year-old was cheered on by her dad, Will Smith, and brother, Jaden Smith, who were in the audience. The final big award of the evening went to Miley Cyrus , who won for Favorite Movie Actress for “The Last Song.” The former “Hannah Montana” star attempted to put gossip to rest during her acceptance speech as she thanked her family for supporting her career. Cyrus will no doubt get fans wondering about the status of her relationship with “Last Song” co-star and on-again, off-again beau Liam Hemsworth , whom she thanked for “helping me make movie magic” in the 2010 drama. The Big Help Award, which was presented by Rosario Dawson, went to singer/actor Justin Timberlake for his devotion to charities, particularly the work he does with Shriners Hospital for Children. In between cracking jokes about burping and getting the crowd to cheer if they had ever helped anyone, Timberlake took the time to tell his young fans, “Your heart is the most beautiful part, so don’t forget to use it.” In addition to telling kids they can do their part to help, even with major issues such as the crisis in Japan, the star said something bound to make any adult watching elated: “Listen to your parents!” Finally, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian hit the stage to help give away the last award of the night for Favorite TV Show, which went to the kid-friendly Nickelodeon hit “iCarly.” Black kept a high energy throughout the show, including some interactions with his “Kung Fu Panda 2″ character, Po, — one of which featured a cameo from Britney Spears in a pre-recorded segment. He ended the evening with a slime battle between himself and Jim Carrey, who made a surprise finale appearance. Other winners included: Favorite Female Singer Katy Perry Favorite Male Singer Justin Bieber Favorite Song “Baby” – Justin Bieber Favorite Movie “The Karate Kid” Favorite Animated Movie “Despicable Me” Favorite Reality Show “American Idol” Favorite TV Actress Selena Gomez Favorite TV Actor Dylan Sprouse Favorite Book “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series Favorite Cartoon “Spongebob Square Pants” Favorite Male Athlete Shaquille O’Neal Favorite Female Athlete Lindsey Vonn Favorite Video Game “Just Dance 2″ What was your favorite moment at the 2011 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards?
