Miley Cyrus and her family celebrated her dad's birthday yesterday at a Chinese restaurant. Miley and Billy Ray, her mom Tish and little sister Noah had lunch at City Wok in Studio City. Even the Chinese chicken salad wasn't quite enough to amuse Miley - she texted friends between bites.
19 year old Trace Cyrus is an interesting contrast to his half sister Miley Cyrus. He has a different father but Billy Ray adopted him. Trace has a band called Metro Station and we think he's influenced by The Ramones.

Miley Cyrus (pictured here with mom Tish) is lucky to have great parents. Not many kid performers are as fortunate as she is. Last Wednesday Miley was leaving her recording studio with her dad Billy Ray and an aggressive group of photographers ran up, pushing their big cameras at her face. Two of them started arguing and yelling profanities at each other. Miley looked startled and her dad hustled her into the car. He came back and pulled the photographers aside and quietly told them "Don't get so close with those cameras and NO CURSING- Miley's not used to that kind of language - she's home-schooled." The snappers really like Billy Ray because he's always nice to them, so they adjusted their behavior.

Miley Cyrus is a kid at heart but sometimes she DOES dress provocatively for her age. Yet Miley insists that her dad Billy Ray approves of her outfits before she even sees them! Miley's stylists show their selections to daddy and he eliminates what he deems inappropriate before Miley gets a look. Her stylists told Miley that she would be surprised by what her dad vetoes. Miley goes along with her dad's rules for now because he's been so agreeable about letting her got to premiers and special events like the Oscars.

Billy Ray Cyrus took his other kids and their dog for some fun in Central Park while his daughter Miley got ready for her New York concert at Nassau Coliseum. A source who works on Hannah Montana says that Billy Ray is "the nicest, most down-to-earth guy imaginable." Apparently he's friendly with everyone on the set and extremely well-liked. His co-workers think he's a great father also. Billy's come a long way since Achy Breaky Heart.
