Miley Cyrus Talks Bret Michaels Duet, 'Sex And The City 2' At The Oscars

Rocker Bret Michaels is no stranger to the company of lovely ladies, thanks to his career as singer of Poison, not to mention his "Rock of Love." But it was another recent collaboration with 17-year-old "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus on the racy song "Nothin' to Lose" that really raised eyebrows. When MTV News caught up with Cyrus on the Academy Awards red carpet, she explained the pair's unlikely duet.


"He's a friend of my family," Cyrus said. "I was in the studio already, so I did a few harmonies for him."

Cyrus is also working on an album of her own, which she said will be out later this summer. For now, the starlet is promoting her upcoming Nicholas Sparks-penned film "The Last Song," which opens March 31 and co-stars her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth.

"I'm super excited. I can't wait for everyone to see it," she said.

With roles in "The Last Song," "Sex and the City 2" and "Wings," a Disney adaption of the young-adult fairy novel by Aprilynne Pike, Cyrus said she is focusing on spreading her acting wings.

"I hope to always give myself a challenge," Cyrus said of her burgeoning career. "I never want to get myself into a rut."

Clad in a champagne-colored Jenny Packham bustier gown, Cyrus said she still finds herself star-struck on the red carpet, especially in the company of "SATC2" co-star Sarah Jessica Parker. "[She's] my fashion icon," Cyrus gushed, adding that sharing a red-carpet scene with Parker in the sequel was a "dream."

Miley & Liam Out For A Bike Ride

Taking advantage of the sunny weather, Miley Cyrus leads boyfriend Liam Hemsworth in a bike ride around the neighborhood on Friday afternoon (March 5) in Toluca Lake, Calif.

The darling duo star in the upcoming The Last Song as Ronnie and Will. The flick tells the story of a rebellious girl (Cyrus) who is sent to a Southern beach town for the summer to stay with her father. Through their mutual love of music, the estranged duo learn to reconnect.

Miley, 17, will be presenting this weekend at the 2010 Oscars.

Miley Cyrus' Oscar Date: Not Her Boyfriend

If you don't see Miley Cyrus' beau Liam Hemsworth with her at the Oscars, it's not because there's trouble in paradise.

The two, who met while filming the upcoming romantic drama The Last Song, have decided together that Hemsworth should not be her date for the big night.

Why? Here's what we've been told…

Sources tell us that the teen queen and the Aussie actor don't want Cyrus' appearance at the show to be overshadowed by their romance. Nor do they want people thinking they'd use the Academy Awards to flaunt their relationship.

"Liam's a pretty low-key guy anyway," one source says. "He doesn't mind not going."

Cyrus and Hemsworth have never actually confirmed they're dating.

"We've decided that any type of relationship that we have, we will always just keep it very DL," Cyrus told Seventeen magazine last November. "First and foremost, we are best friends, so that's what I tell people all the time."

So who is the Hannah Montana starlet's date for the night? Her rep tells us, "She's bringing her mom."

No word yet if Cyrus and Hemsworth plan to meet up later in the evening for the afterparties—or if they'll stroll the red carpet together at the Last Song premiere.
