Miley Cyrus' career is more important to her than a relationship

Email this story Printable version The 17-year-old singer-and-actress - who has reportedly reunited with former flame Liam Hemsworth after a brief split in August ' isn't thinking about settling down yet because she is so ambitious.

Miley ' whose parents are country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and Leticia Cyrus - said: ' definitely don't want people to think I'm trying to get married anytime soon. I'm way too driven right now, first of all, I'm 17, it's ridiculous, and second of all, I've got so much work I want to get done. I have so much to do, there's no way it's happening.

' don't need any type of commitment. I'm not living with anybody. I live at home, I still live with my mom, dad and family.'

The 'Climb' hitmaker also revealed she doesn't feel ready for a big romantic commitment because she wants to experience life and make some mistakes first.

She explained in a video posted on YouTube.com: ''m not engaged, I'm not getting married anytime soon. I don't need to do anything but sit and chill and enjoy life, and make good music - music that I love - and that's the most important thing.

''m just living life and learning and going through what everyone has to go through. I'm just figuring out who I am and that is going to be through mistakes and experiences.'

Jennifer Lopez banned her ex-husband from auditioning for 'American Idol'

Ojani Noa ' the star's first spouse - had planned to wait in line and serenade his former wife with one of her own songs when auditions opened in California on Wednesday (22.09.10).

However, J.Lo ' who was unveiled as a new member of the judging panel this week along with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler ' told the show's producers, Fox, she would be uncomfortable with Cuban-born Ojani appearing leading to him being told by bosses he could be arrested if he went ahead with his plans.

A friend of Ojani told RadarOnline.com: 'Jennifer got Fox to make sure the screeners would not let Ojani anywhere near the auditions.

'Fox made it clear that he was not welcome and that he could be arrested if he showed up, so he backed-out at the last minute.

't was a shame because all he wanted to do was to showcase his voice and show people that he can really sing too.'

Ojani, 36, married Jennifer in 1997 after meeting her while working as a waiter. Their marriage lasted less than a year and they initially parted on good terms, but the pair have fallen out in recent years, after Jennifer hired and subsequently fired Ojani as head chef of her now closed Latin restaurant Madre's in 2002.

He has since been banned from publishing a tell-all book he wrote about the 41-year-old star by one court, and last year a judge ruled he was also not allowed to commercially release footage from the couple's honeymoon.

The source added: 'Whenever Ojani tries to do something Jennifer just tries to block it any way that she can ' nobody really knows what she's so paranoid about.'

Since divorcing Ojani, Jennifer dated rapper P. Diddy, married and divorced dancer Cris Judd, got engaged to actor Ben Affleck and finally settled down and married singer Marc Anthony, with whom she has two-year-old twins Max and Emme.

George Michael labelled self-harm risk in jail

 The 'Faith' singer - who is serving a custodial sentence for driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cannabis ' was deemed a threat to his own safety within minutes of his conviction at London's Highbury Corner Magistrates Court earlier this month.

A source ' who revealed prison officers were warned by court staff to closely observe the singer ' told The Sun newspaper: 'A self-harm warning is typically added if a prisoner gives court security staff reason to fear for their state of mind.

'f Michael had told them he did not think he could cope with going to prison and showed signs of mental breakdown, then a self'harm and suicide alert would instantly be filled.'

However, George - who was locked away on a wing for vulnerable prisoners at London's tough Pentonville Prison before being moved to Highpoint Prison, an open jail in Suffolk, East England - has insisted he is not depressed.

A Prison Service spokeswoman refused to comment on the singer.

George, 47 was given an eight-week sentence for crashing his Range Rover into a shop window in July. He was found slumped behind the wheel by two police officers. Half of George's sentence will be served in custody, the other half will be spent under the supervision of the probation service.
