London, June 14 (IANS) Teen pop sensation Miley Cyrus sparked a debate on various gossip forums and shattered her clean cut image by joining the infamous body piercing league.
Gossip forums on the web have been awash with speculations about the 16-year-old’s new nose piercing ever since the singer-actress posted a picture of herself sporting a stud in her nose on her Twitter.com page June 8, reports contactmusic.com.

The “Hannah Montana” star’s father, Billy Ray Cyrus, has confirmed the piercing is real and admitted he took her to the studio to face the needle.

“Her daddy took her (to the piercing studio). She said, ‘Daddy, would you take me to get my nose pierced?’ I said, ‘Did you ask your mama?’ And she said, ‘Yes. Mama said I could do it if you would take me.’ I thought kind of it was one of those bizarre moments. But honestly, my life and what we’re going through and the things that we’ve been through, it’s like being in The Twilight Zone. So I just kind of roll with the punches,” Billy said on the “The Larry King Show”.

Divas Madonna, Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears were some of the stars who joined the body piercing league before Cyrus.
