Miley Cyrus thinks Rihanna should be at the top of Maxim’s 2013 Hot 100 list.

The 20-year-old singer – who is engaged to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth – has been crowned the magazine’s sexiest woman of the year but admitted if she had a choice, Rihanna, 25, would be number one.

She told HollywoodLife.com: ”I think Rihanna. She is so sexy!”

Miley, who leaked the results early via her Twitter page before the publication officially announced the results, admitted she was so excited about the accolade, she found it impossible to keep the secret.

She said: ”My first reaction was to go straight to Twitter but I had to keep my paws off my phone. I had to keep my thumbs from pressing send. I think I announced it four days earlier by accident, but it was all because I was so excited.”

Miley also posted an exclusive picture of herself from the magazine’s upcoming steamy spread, in which she is laying seductively on a beach in a gold swimsuit even though she recently claimed she was no longer interested in stripping down for photo-shoots.

She said: ”A star is someone who doesn’t have to take her clothes off to be sexy because you naturally have star power. Sex does sell, but you have to find a way that’s not just showing your tits. I don’t want to be a glorified model. They just walk on stage and it’s all about their clothes – or lack of clothes.”

Are you guys ready for some more new music from Miley Cyrus?!

After releasing her track “Ashtrays and Heartbreak” with Snoop Lion, the singer teased that she just might have a new single to share with the world during Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards—and that’s exactly what’s happening.

Cyrus took to Twitter tonight and revealed that the title of her new song is “We Can’t Stop.”

“Cats outta the bag! LETS TREND MY 1st SINGLE #wecantstop,” she wrote. And Miley got just that.

“#WeCantStop is the NUMBER ONE trending topic worldwide!,” Cyrus tweeted less than 10 minutes later. “Retweet if you can’t wait till I release #wecantstop @MikeWiLLMadeIt…We can’t stop TRENDING #wecantstop.”

Although the title is now out in the open, it looks like Miley still has plans to surprise fans on Sunday: “Big announcement about #wecantstop coming @billboard.”

Could it be a performance?!

Jumpsuits are a tricky garment for any lady to tackle, but Miley Cyrus’ attempts have certainly raised a few more eyebrows than those of her peers. Fortunately, the singer proved last night that’s she’s a pretty quick learner.

As the star attendee of the Maxim Hot 100 party (she earned this year’s top slot on the list), Miley dressed to impress in a sexy-yet-demure jumpsuit. The black and white number was a relatively streamlined look for the 20-year-old, but featured an oversized bow detail on the back — a very nice touch.

I’ve just added 39 of Miley arriving at the Maxim Hot 100 Party. Doesn’t she look amazing?

This year’s Billboard Music Awards has some top performers and the list of presenters, which is just as star-studded, has now been confirmed.

The event, which is due to take place on May 19 in Las Vegas, will be hosted by actor and comedian Tracy Morgan, but he will be joined by a string of well-loved musicians who will act as presenters for the night.

Singer Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha and Carly Rae Jepsen have all been announced for the exciting role, but a further 11 music stars will also present awards and segments at the extravaganza. Several Hollywood personalities will step in as presenters, including ‘Nashville’ beauty Hayden Panettiere, ‘Dark Shadows’ actress Chloe Moretz, and Alyssa Milano.

Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars are all set to perform live at the Billboard Music Awards, which will also see Madonna honoured with a special award for her touring achievements.

At his Wango Tango concert, will.i.am played the track that he did with Miley, Fall Down. This is what he had to say, “I’ve got a new album out right now called #willpower and I did a song with someone who’s very talented and an amazing artist by the name of Miley Cyrus. This song is my favourite song off of #willpower”.

Last night, The Source Magazine spoke with one of our favorite songwriters, Angela Hunte, on the red carpet for the 2013 SESAC Pop Music Awards at the New York Public Library. Hunte who recently co-wrote Snoop Lion’s “Reincarnated,” and is probably best known for penning Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind,” is always in the studio with the biggest names in music. She told The Source that she recently worked with Jennifer Hudson and Ledisi on their upcoming projects, but the session that most peaked our interest was Miley Cyrus!

“Miley is amazing, she is amazing, she was a sweetheart and super professional. She was a pleasure to work with, I had a ball. We had fun. It wasn’t even like we were working, we were just laughing and having a good time with Diplo and its been fun. I’ve been working a lot with Diplo, that’s my boy,” Hunte told The Source exclusively.

So did Diplo just call you up to jam with Miley?
Angela Hunte: Absolutely, that’s what it is. If he’s doing something or he’s working on something he’s like, “Hey Angela come through I’m working on it” and he was like “I’m getting ready to do a record with Miley, why don’t you come to the studio?”

This new Miley Cyrus album is probably the most anticipated project of the year!

Angela Hunte: Let me tell you something, I heard some of her records and it’s f*cking incredible! I was completely shocked. I can’t believe it and it’s not forced it doesn’t sound like they forced Miley to be this person she’s not, it’s her just with a brand new sound!

The Mike Will Made It produced Miley Cyrus album still does not have a release date, but Hunte is positive the project will blow your mind.

Miley Cyrus may be making a huge departure from her past in terms of her style and sound, but one thing remains: Her BFFship with fellow musician spawn-cum-celeb Kelly Osbourne. Ozzy‘s little girl revealed some details about Cyrus’ mysterious yet highly hyped upcoming album that only a bestie would know.

“You’ll love it,” Osbourne gushed to Hollywood Life. “It’s such a departure from everything you’ve ever seen from Miley before.” Osbourne also noted that Cyrus’ tumultuous relationship with Liam Hemsworth (which may very well be over, depending on who you ask) played a role in the transition to from child to mature star.

“It is the grown up Miley Cyrus,” Osbourne affirmed. “It takes a strong woman to step outside the boundaries and she has done it. I think you’ll like it.”

As for when we’ll get to hear any of it? Cyrus hinted at a new single — or at least an announcement of one — at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards next weekend, so sit tight!
