Justin Gaston made his first awards appearance with Miley Cyrus, escorting her to the BMI Country Awards in Nashville on Tuesday night.

Aw, they do make a cute couple. Despite all the bitching, I don’t think that a 15-year-old dating a 20-year-old is that big a deal, especially when the 15-year-old is Miley Cyrus. It’s not like she’s led a particularly sheltered life. I mean, it’s one thing if you pluck out the average small-town high-school freshman and throw her into a relationship with USC’s starting quarterback. But come on. Miley Cyrus isn’t the average 15-year-old and, in fact, would probably have absolutely nothing in common with your average 15-year-old dude.

Also there: Carrie Underwood, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Bucky Covington, Taylor Swift (although she’s hard to find under her eyelashes), Faith Hill, Lee Ann Womack, Sarah Buxton and Tim McGraw.

Miley Cyrus and boyfriend Justin Gaston showed up at a Christian bookstore in Tennessee last night for Stephen Baldwin’s book signing.

Her hottie model boyfriend, Justin Gaston, dressed up as her ex-boyfriend, boy-bander Nick Jonas, for Halloween.

Ah, to be sixteen again, when this sort of bullshit is not only acceptable but demanded. Next year, the man in my life, Leo, is going to dress up as my ex-boyfriend, too. He’s already a dog, so all I’ll have to do is stick a joint in his mouth and we’ll be set.

I gotta admit, though, Miley’s new man is way hotter than Nick. Then again, I have a tragic thing for male models.

Isn’t she just the sweetest little bitch ever?  Here’s the little pop tart yesterday in Paris publicly claiming hate for her ex, Nick Jonas.

“I don’t know right now, because my mom is being cheap. She’s trying to get me in one of those Smart cars!”

Miley Cyrus, when asked by Ryan Seacrest what kind of car she’d be getting for her 16th birthday.

Miley Cyrus enjoys a sundae with whipped cream in Hollywood, like the pleasant and innocent young adult that she is.

Here are some pics of Miley performing today at BBC Switch Live at Hammersmith Apollo in London, England.  She is looking all grown up!  Slutty or age appropriate?  I think she looks kinda cute.
