Cosmetic physician Dr. Tahl Humes from Colorado said Cyrus appears to have had a minor breast augmentation.

“If you look at the volume, it appears she had a breast augmentation… She might have had small implants, which is nice, because she is a small girl with a small frame,” he said.

Another plastic surgeon, Dr. Brian Glaat from New Jersey–considered a big-gun in breast augmentation–pointed out that the outline of the implants are visible on the lower portions of Cyrus’ berast.

“Miley does indeed appear to have had a breast augmentation. The outline of the implants are clearly visible in the lower portions of her breasts,” he said.

Despite the claims of numerous experts in plastic surgery, Miley Cyrus responded on her Twitter account saying that her new perky bust are result of hard work and not because of silicone implants:

“Thank you for the compliment but these babies are all mine,’ Miley wrote, adding: ‘I wish they’d realize you don’t have to be fake to be beautiful!”

The above photo was taken during CNN’s Hero of the Year awarding ceremony at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles last Sunday, December 12, when the speculations about Miley’s fake books started.

Poll: PHL’s Hottest 20 Stars Under 20 for 2011 originally appeared on Starmometer on November 30, 2011.

Here is a promotional video from CBS for tomorrow’s episode of The Late Show with David Letterman where teen superstar Justin Bieber talks about the paternity case, his feelings about the people throwing stones at him and how he took the DNA test.

There was no disrobing guys!

Watch the video here:

Justin Bieber Talks Paternity Case and DNA Test on David Letterman originally appeared on Starmometer on November 24, 2011.

Teen superstar Justin Bieber has set a new record on YouTube by being the first person, dead or alive, to ever get a whopping 2 billion video views.

Bieber’s music page attracted 94 million visitors in the past month alone to go down in the history of the video-sharing website.

Lady Gaga was the first artist to hit the one billion barrier in 2010 but Bieber bested her to the feat this year. Gaga settled for second place while Rihanna, Eminem and Shakira round out the top five.

Aside from YouTube where he has 1,049,519 subscribers, Bieber has also dominated social networking sites like Facebook where he has 37,080,001 fans, and over 14 million Twitter followers.

When “Arthur Christmas,” the 3D, CG-animated movie from Aardman for Sony Pictures Animation and Columbia Pictures, rolls into Philippine theaters on December, Bieber’s rendition of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town,” from his new Christmas album “Under The Mistletoe,” will play over the end credits.

In addition, before the movie, moviegoers will see the exclusive music video for the song, which will premiere in theaters only with “Arthur Christmas.” The video will be inspired by the movie and feature footage from the film.
In addition, the album’s debut single, “Mistletoe,” will be heard in select TV spots for “Arthur Christmas.” Bieber’s holiday album, “Under The Mistletoe,” is a seasonal mix of traditional Christmas standards with newly-penned holiday music largely co-written by Justin. The CD is available everywhere November 1st.

Commenting on the announcement, Lia Vollack, President, Worldwide Music for Sony Pictures, said, “It was important to us to have a song that connected with the film’s themes – and you couldn’t ask for a better match than ‘Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town’ – but our choice was about much more than that. We saw an opportunity to give our moviegoers a tremendous added value with a brand-new music video premiering in theaters. We had a great experience working with Justin on `The Karate Kid,’ so we’re thrilled to be working with him again and premiering his new video with our movie – it’s a perfect fit for our movie’s core audience.”

The 3D, CG-animated family comedy “Arthur Christmas” at last reveals the incredible, never-before-seen answer to every child’s question: “So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?” The answer: Santa’s exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic – a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero: Santa’s youngest son, Arthur. When this amazing operation misses one child out of hundreds of millions, the least capable Claus embarks on a hilarious, exciting rogue mission against the clock to deliver the last present before Christmas morning dawns.

Directed by Sarah Smith, the film features the voices of James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, and Ashley Jensen.

Opening across the Philippines in December, “Arthur Christmas” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

His Abduction co-star Lily Collins, singer Taylor Swift and high school sweetheart Sara Hicks can all attest that he’s not a homo. And now, straight from the horse’s mouth, “I’m straight,” Taylor Lautner said in an interview by GQ Australia.

This should put the persistent gay rumor to rest. After all, the Twilight hunk is just one of the many stars who’s been the subject of gay rumors.

Albie was also the first person Andi revealed her pregnancy to but the young actor refused to be part of the situation.

When Boy Abunda asked Andi on “The Buzz” last Sunday (October 9) if she had forgiven some people, Andi answered, “Sadly, hindi.”

Andi clarified that she’s not holding grudge to anyone.

“The only reason is because walang nanghihingi ng tawad sa akin, sadly. But it’s okay. Hindi ko naman sila kailangan,” she explained.

“It was the two of us that tried to go through it at the beginning. Sadly, it ended up na ako na lang mag-isa,” she added in between tears.

Last week, Andi Eigenmann courageously faced Boy Abunda in the “Ikaw Na” segment of Bandila where she revealed details about her pregnancy and how she has moved on with her life despite that fact that she’s about to become a single mom.

Here is the transcript of the interview:

Boy: How are you doing?

Andi: Masaya naman po ako. Im actually, if there is one word that would describe how I am feeling right now, [it] is actually just bored. You know, Im excited, excited na ako, sana dumating na yung November para makita ko na ang baby ko. Bored, in a positive way, its just that Im so looking forward to the future.

Boy: Did you have a hard time with your pregnancy?

Andi: Actually, hindi naman po. Surprisingly, para sa sarili ko parang nagulat nga ako pero siyempre masayang-masaya parin. Ive gone through several 4-D scans and ultrasounds, so alam ko na po na my baby is very healthy. Boy: May pinaglilihian ka ba? Andi: Sadly, para sa katawan ko, ice cream and chocolates. Im not really into all those kinds of food, e. Kaya alam ko talaga na pinaglilihian ko yun kasi kakaiba yun for me.

Boy: Itong pagbubuntis mo, how did it change your life?

Andi: Actually, para sa akin po, ang daming beses na, especially when I started showbiz, its really a tough industry to be a part of for me. Medyo ang dami ko pong beses na nakita yung sarili ko na on the verge of failing. And its the first time that I really told myself and I assured myself na hindi ako made to just fail. Im designed to be successful at something and alam ko na I just have to believe in myself, just go for it, as long as I know that Im not hurting anybody and I just do what I know that I love. Hinding hindi ako mag-gi-give up, kasi alam ko si God, hindi nya ako pinu-punish for anything.

Boy: Were there times that you thought, why is this happening to you?

Andi: Yes, kasi syempre at the beginning being that I am young and I didnt really expect this to happen, at this point in my life pinagdaanan ko rin po yun. But then iniisip ko na walang tine-take away si God sa akin. Lahat ng mga stuff na dating alam ko I deserve and I wanted to achieve, I know that I can still achieve them because this is not a punishment, this is a present. I am very much honored; its a blessing from God.

Boy: Your baby will see this interview 10 or 20 years from now, what do you want to tell your baby?

Andi: No matter what happens, just like my mom is to me, no matter what happens, I will always, always try and be the best I can be to you. Theres nothing to worry about even if its just gonna be the two of us because theres a lot of people there who will love you as much as I will.
