Pictures: Miley Cyrus No. 1 on Maxim Hot 100

Whether Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have split up has been the topic of much rumor for the last week or so — with the talk hitting a fever pitch Wednesday morning as a report citing “multiple sources” pronounced, “It’s over.” But hours later, another outlet said not so fast. Wednesday afternoon, E! News joined the fray with a hold-on-a-minute report declaring that the two “have been a bit rocky, but are not giving up.”

The couple have been engaged since May 31 of last year, after dating for about three years. Although last week’s stories were quick to cite Liam’s alleged cozy conduct with actress January Jones at a pre-Oscars bash last month as causing a rift in the relationship, the New York Post’s Page Six on Wednesday quoted a source suggesting that Miley’s wild night life was to blame.

Premise: Pop star/actress Miley Cyrus and professional dancer/Cyrus friend Mandy Jiroux hang out, goof off and act like teenage girls. Except one of them is a successful Hollywood commodity, so they’re not quite like your friends from high school.

While Miley Cyrus cropped her hair short and took out the color, Christina Aguilera left her locks long and added streaks of purple. Cyrus has gone for a platinum blond power-pixie cut. Aguilera showed off her new look Sunday at a media event for “The Voice.”

Miley Cyrus is no stranger to criticism for her sexually charged image, but the singer and actress wants you to know she’s not ashamed. In fact, she thinks sex is pretty awesome. “The girls that really base how much they’re worth on the sexual favors they can do for somebody, that makes me really sad,” she told Lifetime. “Because sex is actually really beautiful. It’s the only way we create, and it’s the only way the world keeps going.”  (Frazer Harrison / Getty Images)

Looks as if Miley Cyrus has finally been tamed: The singer and actress is engaged to marry her beau, Liam Hemsworth. The young couple, who have been together for around three years, shared their happy news Wednesday. “I’m so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam,” Cyrus told People, which first reported the engagement.  (Michael Buckner / Getty Images)

“LOL” was supposed to represent a big step for Miley Cyrus’ movie career as she attempts to mature beyond Disney’s Hannah Montana. Instead, it has turned into a tough lesson about how quickly a Hollywood studio can fall out of love with a movie. The Lionsgate studio has quietly decided to release “LOL” in seven cities on May 4, the same day as the sure-to-be blockbuster “Avengers,” and without any marketing fanfare.  (Robyn Beck / AFP / Getty Images)
