Billy Ray Defends Miley's Pole Dance

Miley Cyrus Pole Dance"Do you love Miley Cyrus? Why not play some Miley Cyrus dress up games. "

A sixteen-year-old pole dancing would probably anger most
parents. But Billy Ray Cyrus doesn’t seem to have any problem with his daughter Miley Cyrus’s pole dance routine at the Teen Choice Awards earlier this month.

Billy Ray told Access Hollywood, "You know what? I just think that Miley loves entertaining people. She loves singing [and] songwriting."

Sounds like Billy Ray is trying to avoid the subject at hand! No one can deny that Miley loves to entertain, but a 16-year old swinging around on a pole in front of millions of viewers is quite another thing.

Despite the negative reaction from the public, Billy Ray continues to stick by his daughter’s side. He continued, "I always tell her to love what you're doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinion.”

"I give my kids a lot of freedom to make the art they wanna make, and make it in their own voice.”

Has Billy Ray not learned anything from Jamie Spears and Michael Lohan?! Those are two showbiz dads who allowed their daughters to make their “own decisions” for years. And look at what happened to both Britney and Lindsay!

Billy Ray might want to invest in some parenting books, because Miley may soon be going down the same road we know all too well.

Medical Records, Billing Info Key to Michael Jackson Case

Michael JacksonMyriad questions and numerous individuals are at the center of the Michael Jackson investigation, but there may be one central key to uncovering the truth.

Drs. Conrad Murray, Arnold Klein, Allan Metzger and others have come under suspicion as officials try to determine who supplied and administered the anesthesia Propofol and other drugs to the late star. But details so far have been sketchy.

When dealing with celebrities, some doctors use pseudonyms for patients and sometimes their medical records and charts mysteriously get "lost."

But TMZ reports that most doctors leave one indelible footprint when it comes to treating their patients, and it all starts with billing information.

Many doctors use medical software systems from MD Systems, NexTech and others. These companies provide software in which doctors input billing data.

Doctors typically input the patient's name, billing amount, the type of treatment, type of drugs prescribed and administered, and the date of service.

The clincher? That data cannot be deleted from the server.

The system allows doctors to add other data like medical charts, which can be deleted. But if someone deletes data, the software shows the name of the user who did it in addition to the date it took place. Basic billing information will not go away.

The police found Propofol - a powerful anesthesia that should never be outside a hospital - in Jackson's house. If cops find who supplied and administered it, the doctor(s) could face very serious questions and possibly even criminal charges.
