Less than a week after Miley Cyrus called it quits with Justin Gaston, the pop star admits that she has “reconnected” with ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas.

“He’s my best friend, and we still hang out all the time, and we’ve definitely reconnected,” the Hannah Montana star told radio station 107.5 The River in Tennessee on Friday. “We don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but right now we’re just kicking it and hanging out as much as we can.”

The pair, both 16, were spotted on June 9, jet-skiing together on Tybee Island, where Cyrus is filming her new movie The Last Song. “They looked like they were having a blast,” says an observer.

When asked about the excursion during her 107.5 interview, Cyrus said “no comment” but did mention “I’m a jet ski demon!”

Cyrus and Jonas broke up in December 2007, after which “I bawled for a month straight” Cyrus told Seventeen magazine. But the two recently reunited when they collaborated on the duet “Before the Storm” for the Jonas Brothers’ new album and worked on the Disney’s Friends for Change campaign.

“We both just kind of saw each other again and kind of decided this whole thing was stupid and … we all were over the separation,” Cyrus said on-air. “And our families are super happy that we’re hanging out again.”

Reps for Cyrus and Jonas had no comment.

Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus has broken up with her boyfriend of almost nine months and is tweeting about it.

According to E! News, the 16-year-old ended her relationship last week with underwear model and aspiring singer Justin Gaston, 20, as she prepared to leave L.A. for her two-month shoot for “The Last Song” in Savannah, Ga.

Though her rep had no comment, the teen star and her ex-boyfriend’s Twitter posts over the weekend reflected the breakup. (Her June 8 tweets included: “trying to smile through a gloomy day in savannah,” and “life will go on. you will smile again.”) Gaston quoted lyrics from John Mayer’s “Dreaming With a Broken Heart” in a June 4 tweet.

The couple went through a rocky path because of Cyrus’ resurrected friendship with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers, E! News reported.

“She obviously has been hanging out with Nick again a lot, and Justin was cool with it at first — as long as it was just a cool friendly thing,” a source close to Gaston told E! News. “She didn’t cheat, but I guess Nick was trying to get her back the whole time.”

Either Disney is cheap, or doesn’t think Miley Cyrus is worth that much — because the Mouse is being a real tightwad when it comes to paying Cyrus for a cameo on one of their other shows.

We got our hands on Miley’s contract for her guest appearance on Disney’s “The Suite Life on Deck” — which airs in June — and it only guarantees Miley $5,000 for a week of work.

It may sound like a decent amount of scratch, but Miley’s a big star and could easily get more for a guest spot on a non-Disney show.

Hell, “Idol’s” bikini girl made $10,000 for hosting a Vegas party recently.

But the paltry paycheck actually makes a lot of sense, since the story we broke last year about Miley and her dad wanting out of “Hannah Montana” because there’s far more money in singing than in doing a Disney cable show.

Miley Cyrus hasn’t met Lady Gaga, but is truly inspired by her.

Yesterday, the 16-year-old starlet tweeted, saying, “‘Paparazzi’ is the best song ever. I wanna perform with [her] one day. [Lady Gaga] reminds me of Hannah Montana. She’s like a normal songwriter/producer and then she has a double life as a popstar.”

Miley continued her love today. She tweeted, “I wanna perform with Lady Gaga one day.”

It is hard to believe that Miley Cyrus is only sixteen! She is one of the most googled celebrities on the planet and has achieved superstar status as a musician, TV/movie actress and even an author. is this all a bit too much for someone only born a decade and a half ago? Some of her closest friends think so.

‘Behind her super-confident facade lurks a fragile side, honestly there have been times when I have truly feared she will go the way of Britney Spears. it’s hard to imagine the pressure she is under’ one anonymous source close to Cryus family noted.

Of course, Britney Spears’ personal struggles are legendary but apparently Miley balks at the suggestion that super-stardom might prove too hard for her.

‘Miley has the support of a famous dad (Billy Ray Cryus) who knows many of the issues already  and watches Miley like a hawk.  Miley herself adamantly insists she is ‘no Britney Spears’ if the topic is ever raised’ another associate commented.

For her stance supporting equal marriage rights for gays, Miley Cyrus is taking a beating from conservative groups. The tween singer directed Tweets toward Perez Hilton in regards to the Miss USA pageant fracas.

“I am a Christian and I love you–gay or not–because you are no different than anyone else! We are all God’s children,” Miley wrote on her Twitter page. On another occasion, she said, “Everyone deserves to love and be loved and most importantly smile.”

Now, the organization OneMillionMoms.com is reacting vehemently, claiming, “Such statements will send the wrong message to our children who are influenced by this teenage megastar. Parents need to realize that Cyrus is not the positive role model she was once thought to be.”

Miley Cyrus flashes a peace sign as she watches younger brother Braison show off his rhythm skills at the launch of the Lollipops and Rainbows Foundation at CityWalk on Saturday afternoon (May 2) in Universal City, Calif.

Braison, 14, and his band Lazy Randy performed a full set at the event.

Miley, 16, tweeted about the event, saying, “Last night Lollipops and Rainbows was NOT about me. Some people claimed I was expected to go do pics and autographs which at the end INSIDE hard rock cafe I did. last night was about the wonderful charity event and Lazy Randy (my bros band) while they were playing I wanted alllll attention on them! That was my lil’ bros first show and he deserves the respect of people knowing him as his own artist! I love you guys and hope to see YOU in the Bahamas!!!”

Pictures to follow!

Miley had this to say about Mr. Perez. She really dislikes him.

That’s just a mean person. I don’t know how old he is, but taking it out on me is a little strange. It’s like going back to high school. I get to travel and go to London and Paris, while this person sits by the computer writing mean things about me. “I’d rather be the one traveling.”

THE lid has been lifted on Miley Cyrus’s secret half-brother, Christopher.

Christopher, 17, works part-time at a US electronics store near his home in Fort Worth, Texas, while his sister sits on an estimated $44 million.

British newspapers say Christopher was born after his mother, Kristin Luckey, had a brief relationship with musician Billy Ray Cyrus when she was a waitress in South Carolina.

They’d split by the time he was born on April 8, 1992, and Cyrus’ new girlfriend, Tish, was pregnant with Miley.

London’s Sunday Mirror reports Christopher is disappointed he does not have a closer relationship with the family, and says being excluded from a reality show with them “sucked”.

The half-siblings’ last meeting was at a Miley concert in November 2007, after which they spent 20 minutes in her bus.

Miley Cyrus will publish her autobiography this year. Experts say “Brand Miley” is worth $1.37 billion to Disney.

Christopher’s more modest earning capacity at his store is about $10 an hour.

Celeblogger Perez Hilton took his marriage battle to Twitter this week, asking Miley Cyrus and other celebrities their thoughts on gay marriage.

In a response, Cyrus said/typed “everyone deserves to love and be loved and most importantly smile.”

The Twitter page for mileycyrus also says, “jesus loves you AND your partner and wants you to know how much he cares! thats like a daddy not loving his lil boy cuz hes gay” and “gods greatest commandment is to love. and judging is not loving.”

Cyrus also goes on to say she’s been overseas and has missed the hubbub.
