Miley Cyrus has felt "free" since splitting from Liam Hemsworth.

The 'Wrecking Ball' singer has confessed that although she found it difficult to deal with her engagement to 'The Hunger Games' actor being called off last year, she now feels a lot stronger, as she did when she got over her departure from Disney.

She said: "When I went through a really intense breakup - you know, I was engaged - and when I was with him or when I was on Disney, the thing that gave me the most anxiety was not knowing what to do with myself when Disney wasn't there to carry me any more or if I didn't have him. And now I'm free of both of those things, and I'm fine.

"Like I lay in bed at night by myself and I'm totally OK, and that's so much stronger than the person three years ago, who would have thought they would have died if they didn't have a boyfriend."

The former 'Hannah Montana' star has admitted that although she often wished she could have started her solo career without being known as a Disney actress, she is "thankful" of what it's helped her achieve and is glad it didn't make her "crazy".

She told the latest issue of Elle magazine: "I got the most intense training. There's times where I wish I could have just started as a new artist, but the world has kind of allowed me to do that. I feel really lucky - a lot of kid stars get all crazy or stuck in what they were, so they can't actually become what they're meant to be."

Scarlett Johansson 'insulted' by ScarJo nickname

Scarlett Johansson feels "insulted" by the name 'ScarJo'.

The 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' star thinks the nickname given to her in the media makes her sound like a "tacky pop star" - such as Jennifer Lopez, who is considered to have started the trend with her title J.Lo - and is "insulting" to her as a serious actress.

Scarlett told the May issue of Glamour Magazine: "I associate that name with, like, pop stars. It sounds tacky. It's lazy and flippant. There's something insulting about it."

The 29-year-old actress claims she is also irritated by the media's obsession with how she looks and thinks it is completely unfair because it is something male actors don't have to endure.

Scarlett fumed: "Actresses get stupid questions asked of them all the time, like, 'How do you stay sexy?' or 'What's your sexiest quality?' All these ridiculous things you would never ask a man."

Scarlett's complaint didn't stop there as she expressed her disappointment at not being recognised by the media for her entire body of work and not just her breakout role 'Lost in Translation' in 2003.

She said: "When I made 'Lost in Translation', I was 17. Now I'm 29 ... That's a normal side effect of being a young actor.

'You're captured in a certain time of your life, and it's hard for people to move past that."

Justin Bieber banned from Miami clubs?




Justin Bieber has reportedly been banned from Miami's top nightclubs.

The 'Baby' hitmaker and his entourage's party plans went awry over the weekend, as they were allegedly denied access to the city's biggest hotspots, including LIV, Story and Adoré.

A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the 20-year-old star's team rang ahead to reserve tables but the clubs' managers refused to let them in as the singer is one year under the legal age.

The clubs also think the star is too much trouble, as the last time he let his hair down in Miami he was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving without a valid licence.

The insider claimed that Justin's DUI resulted in a lot of negative press for SET nightclub, where he was partying shortly before his arrest.

Some clubs offered to let the 'Heartbreaker' hitmaker in if he agreed to perform but he declined.

As a result, Justin was forced to enjoy a low-key night out at Cavalli Restaurant and Lounge in the city on Friday night.

The 'Beauty and a Beat' hitmaker, who has pled not guilty to all the charges against him, is set to appear in court again on May 5.
