Asked how, as a dad, how he feels watching his daughter twerk and go nude in music videos, the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer initially deflected, but then commended Miley for her choices.

“For me to think how hard she’s worked to get to his point, and what a risk — just the fact that she went and cut her hair off. That was huge,” said Billy Ray.

He continued, “She could’ve stayed Hannah Montana forever and made a great living doing that, but she’s more of an artist than that, and she wanted to make a living and evolve.”

Noting that Miley is “very smart” and had her latest controversial career moves all “thought out in advance,” Billy Ray pointed out that “the shock factor is tremendously higher than it used to be.”

“She’s really very focused and loves what she’s doing. And that’s the main thing for me as a dad, seeing my little girl doing what she loves and making the music that she loves to make and hanging out with some incredibly talented producers, singer-songwriters, musicians,” he told Morgan.

Billy Ray also discussed Miley’s fame reaching “a whole new level” the last few weeks, offered perspective on her VMAs performance, and gave his thoughts on criticism from Parents Television Council.

Lindsay Lohan Tells Piers Morgan: “Sending Me to Rehab is Pointless”

Lindsay Lohan sat down with Piers Morgan last month — before she entered the Betty Ford Center for a 90-day stint in rehab — and the actress had had some interesting comments about drinking, drugs, and rehab.

The actress says she had her first drink at 17, and that her mom Dina “made me sleep with vomit still on me so I’d understand how it felt. I didn’t drink again throughout high school. I was too scared!”

“I’ve never been a huge drinker. I’ve never woken up in the morning and had a drink,” she adds.

As for cocaine, Lohan says, “Everyone thinks I’ve done it so many times. But I’ve only done it maybe four or five times in my life,” but during those handful of times, “I got caught twice.”

She also admits she’s smoked pot and done “ecstasy… I liked  that better than the others.”

While she claims she’s not a big drinker or drug user, Lohan says after six stints, “I could write the book on rehab.”

Lohan feels, however, “Constantly sending me to rehab is pointless.”

“I think there are other things I could do instead of going to  a rehab center that would benefit  me more,” she says. “The best thing they could  do for me would be to make me go  abroad to different countries and work with children.”

The future?

“I want to work for a year and then eventually settle down and have children and a husband,” says Lohan.

What do you think of Lohan’s interview?
