Miley Cyrus is back in front of the camera, only this time for a much more wholesome cause. And not, it seems, a moment too soon.

Disney's tween queen is the latest celeb to don a dairy 'stache for the ubiquitous Got Milk? campaign.

Titled "Girl Power," the ad, a necessary and well-timed departure from her Vanity Fair photo session, reads: "Actress by day. Rocker by night. I've got to keep fit to keep up. So I drink milk. Some studies suggest that teens who choose milk over sugary drinks tend to be leaner and the protein helps build muscle. It's the best of both worlds."

With any luck, Cyrus' milk campaign won't just build bones—it'll also assuage some achy-breaky parent hearts.

We've really missed the two-fingered flashings since Miley Cyrus moved to Nashville to shoot the Hannah Montana movie.

(Apparently, the town's in short supply of red carpet opportunities—or coffee shops, which prompted plenty of java-fueled peace offerings in Hollywood.)

But as today's on-set sighting proves, the harmony-loving tween queen is still spreading the good word.

May we return the gesture with a special photo gallery of stars who love the peace symbol—and positive attention—just as much as Miley does.

Before she was a green-bra-flashing, nude-back modeling symbol of all that is wrong with America, Miley Cyrus was a singer. And now she’s got a new song!

If you can properly download the plug-ins for this site, you (a) will be able to hear "7 Things" and (b) will prove yourselves to be smarter than us (not a terribly difficult feat, so don’t gloat).

Judging by the lyrics, Miley got her heart hurt pretty bad—but can’t wait to go back for more:

“And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do / You make me love you.”

Aw, Miley. Who is this jerk? Meet us for an Ice Blended, and we’ll chat...

Pot, meet kettle.

Marie Osmond, that doll-making savior of Middle America, has uncharacteristically lashed out at Billy Ray Cyrus' parenting skills in the wake of daughter Miley's back-baring photo flap.

"My parents never, never left us alone," the little-bit-country one told AOL Television. "We always had some form of a guardian or something with us, a guardian that would represent what they would have done. But in [Miley's] case, her dad stepped out [of the photo session], and that's when it happened.

"How do you say no to somebody like Annie [Leibovitz] when you're a little girl? It's an interesting thing that happened with her."

Also interesting, perhaps at least to Cyrus, is that Osmond's own adopted teenage son checked himself into rehab just last year.

In his defense, when there's no form of a guardian around—when they're busy, say, fainting on national television—it's hard to say no to somebody like Jack [Daniels].

Miley Cyrus was fully dressed and ready for her close-up Saturday night.

Performing onstage for the first time since last week's Vanity Fair photo flap, the Hannah Montana star headlined a Disney-sponsored concert in Orlando, and thanked her screaming minions for their support.

"First of all, I think all of us here can say thank you," she said before beginning her set. "I can't think of how many would stand in the rain to come in here. Thank you all for coming out tonight, you're all amazing."

All Hope is gone for Miley Cyrus. All Destiny, too.

The slightly tarnished Disney star is about to find out what exactly is in a name, as a Los Angeles judge officially signed off on her moniker switch this morning, legally waving goodbye to Destiny Hope Cyrus and ushering in the official era of Miley Ray. (Check out the court docs.)

Hopefully, not a moment too late.

The name change petition was first filed on behalf of the 15-year-old on March 14 by parents Billy Ray and Leticia Cyrus in Los Angeles Superior Court.

As for justification for the request, the couple wrote that "Destiny Hope Cyrus has been commonly known as Miley Cyrus since she was a young child. The change of name is requested to make her commonly used name the same as her legal name."

Finally, a Cyrus parenting decision Disney can get behind.

Think the Cyrus family is scandalized by Miley’s bare back? That’s nothing. Take a look at this video of Miley’s half brother Trace Cyrus. The kid looks like he took a nasty spill at a paint-and-metal-spike shop and hasn’t recovered since.

Weird thing is, he bears a striking resemblance to his half sister, if you look past the tats and facial piercings. He’s even a musician (albeit for a band you’ve never heard of, Metro Station).

But we love that Smiley Miley has a black-sheep brother. Maybe they could get in an act together. You know, Hannah Montana and Tommy Tennessee. She could teach him how to get in touch with his spunky inner child, and he could teach her...um, how to shoplift from Hot Topic.

Her name may be Hannah Montana, but Minnesota is clearly more her state.

While Miley Cyrus is hiding out through her latest PR rough patch, her alter ego—with a little help from the state legislature—is doing her best to make parental amends enough for the both of them.

Minnesota has become the first state to overwhelmingly pass the so-called Hannah Montana bill, making it a gross misdemeanor to use, own or sell computer programs that enable vendors to buy up blocks of tickets for concerts or other major events before the rest of public.

The bill was inspired by last summer's Hannah Montana mania, when tickets for Cyrus' double-billed Best of Both Worlds Tour were snapped up within minutes and resold on ticket-exchange sites at exorbitant prices.

A similar measure failed to pass muster in Florida this week, possibly becoming the deciding factor in the state's all-important (yet sadly ineligible) tween vote. Although Democrats backed the bill, calling it a pro-consumer issue, Republicans put the kibosh on the measure, claiming it was antibusiness.

Looks like it's Obama for Hannah.

Miley Cyrus isn't the only one who's sorry about her bedsheet-donning photo flap.

Annie Leibovitz, the photographic auteur who conceived and ultimately snapped the controversial shot for Vanity Fair's glossy pages, has issued a mea culpa of her own—not for the image itself, mind you, but for the public's faulty impression of said shot.

"I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted," Leibovitz said in a statement released by the magazine. "Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it.

"The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."
