Really Ridiculous: Miley's rep shoots down engagement rumours

Just because Macaulay Culkin did it, and just because Jamie-Lynn Spears and Bristol Palin were forced to do it to protect their teen mom-affected public images, doesn't mean that it's worth starting rumours about.

Recently, not-pregnant nor certifiably insane 17-year-old Miley Cyrus (she's just kind of a slutty kid, really) was spotted in L.A. wearing a ring on her left hand, leading gossipists to decide it must mean she's getting married her Aussie actor boyfriend, 19-year-old Liam Hemsworth.

"Miley's not engaged," promised her rep. Some research by a Disney fansite concluded that Cyrus owned the ring before she met Hemsworth, and she wore it on her ring finger even then.

Hemsworth and Cyrus began dating in late summer, during filming of their upcoming film, The Last Song, in Tennessee. Previously, Cyrus dated musician Nick Jonas and wannabe Justin Gaston.
