Trace Cyrus and Brenda Song appear to be back together.
The singer and the actor split back in the summer of 2012 and have mostly remained off the celebrity gossip radar since then.
Brenda Song and Trace Cyrus: It's Over!
It looks like Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus only need to plan for one upcoming wedding now.
Just a few days after news broke of Miley Cyrus' engagement, brother Trace has announced that he and Disney actress Brenda Song are no longer planning to marry. Or even date for that matter.
The Brenda Song pregnancy mystery remains unsolved. Or, actually, perhaps this interview solves it.
Trace Cyrus spoke to People Magazine this week about his fiancee and their plans to wed, saying he'd love to tie the knot in Vegas, but he knows Song wouldn't exactly go for that plan.
Brenda Song is engaged to Trace Cyrus. This has been confirmed.
What's still a mystery is whether she's expecting their first child.
Brenda Song and Trace Cyrus: Engaged!
One major announcement down. Another on the way?
Is Brenda Song not pregnant after all?!?
The Internet blew up last month when word leaked that this Disney star had been knocked up by Trace Cyrus, but now the young star's mother has come out and said simply: "She's actually not pregnant."
Brenda Song: Pregnant! Trace Cyrus the Father!
Brenda Song and Trace Cyrus are expecting their first child together and we know what you're thinking: Brenda Song and Trace Cyrus are dating?!?
The recent series of possibly racy Miley Cyrus photos has led to a stern defense of the Hannah Montana actress by Joe Jonas, a tongue lashing by Bill O'Reilly and a spirited debate among readers of The Hollywood Gossip.
Chime in with your opinion on Cyrus and these pics NOW.
Sindh Governor Imran Ismail, while presiding over a meeting of the Karachi Transformation Committee (KTC) on Friday, constituted four working groups on water, transport, master plan and housing and investment.
The working groups have been asked to hold meetings on a regular basis, work in coordination with the Karachi Infrastructure Development Company Limited (KIDCL) team, provide regular updates on their work and submit their recommendations to the KTC for implementation on various projects.
The he participants of the meeting were told that KTC would act as an advisory body and was mandated to develop a comprehensive strategy, in consultation with the Sindh government and local government institutions for a “Naya Karachi”.
The KTC would focus on key infrastructure-related challenges in the metropolis and improving the service standards for the common citizens. The governor also directed the authorities concerned to accelerate the pace of work on various federal government-funded projects in Karachi. He underlined the significance of stre...
“KTC is attaching high priority to develop a Master Infrastructure Plan to address the long-standing issues of Karachi to enable the emergence of the city, as a well planned and modern 21st century city,” he vowed.
Earlier, the meeting was briefed about Karachi issues and challenges in details. The governor directed the officials to engage with as many concerned stakeholders as possible for the KTC to succeed in its mission, and to bring them on board. “Members of civil society, business community, media, professional bodies, aca...

The energy regulator has ordered National Grid to return the cash it has claimed through energy bills to fund a £168.8m gas pipeline project it decided not to build.
Ofgem agreed the amount National Grid could charge customers for upgrading and maintaining the grid in 2013, when the network operator’s plans included a high pressure gas pipelines project in Avonmouth.
The pipeline work is no longer needed but National Grid argued that it should be allowed to keep around £87m which it had already claimed through energy bills to fund the shelved project.

Die-hard fans of the best-selling Harry Potter stories are seriously threatening India's owl population, as demands for the ultimate wizarding accessory increase, a wildlife group says.
Potter's snow-white owl Hedwig, his trusty messenger throughout the book and film series, is being blamed by animal groups and politicians for fuelling the trade in Indian owls, as fans look to ape every aspect of their young wizard hero.
A report released this week in New Delhi by wildlife group TRAFFIC-India, which found that 15 of the country's 30 species were for sale in markets, also blames the demand for owl parts in ancient rituals for driving the illegal trade.
The report's author, Abrar Ahmed, said that his research was sparked when a friend asked him to procure an owl for her son's Harry Potter-themed birthday party.
"Although Hedwig spends much of her time in a bird cage in Harry's room, real owls do not make good pets because they need room to fly and hunt for food," said Ahmed.
"Following Harry Potter, there seems to be a strange fascination even among the urban middle classes for presenting their children with owls," India's Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh told the BBC at the launch of the report. Traditional practitioners in India, known locally as tantriks, also demand owl bones, f...
The heavily-coveted "ear-tufts" -- feathery extensions on the heads of larger owls -- are thought to grant the birds greater magical powers, and fetch a high price for the tribal communities that make a living from the trade.
One ancient practice demands the mixing of ground ear-tufts with seeds and milk, before spraying the dried powder on a person's head in order to hypnotize them.
That is the verdict of former Reds winger Steve McManaman, who says that Jurgen Klopp’s side could miss out on the title.
Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 on Sunday to move back to the top of the Premier League, two points clear of Manchester City who have a game in hand.
The game was branded Liverpool’s final hurdle of tough assignments before having to play their final four matches against teams from the bottom half of the table.
On paper City have a much tougher run-in with Tottenham and Manchester United still to play, but McManaman thinks that they could potentially win all of their remaining fixtures.
If both teams won all of their remaining games then Manchester City would win the title by a single point.
“The only thing about the Liverpool manager at the moment is that they need to deliver a trophy somewhere down the line,” he told Premier League Productions.
“My only concern is that both teams just win all their games now between today and the end of the season.
“Liverpool look unstoppable but I think arguably Manchester City look unstoppable too at the moment.
“I know they have got Tottenham at home and Manchester United away but these two teams look a class apart from everybody else.
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler added his thoughts on the matter and agreed with McManaman that City might not drop a point.
“Certainly from a Liverpool point of view I think their fixtures are slightly easier and are all winnable,” he added.
“But like Macca was saying there, you look at City’s fixtures and they are slightly more difficult but they are still an unbelievable side.
“So, yes as a Liverpool fan you are just hoping that they can slip up somewhere along the way.
Liverpool next travel to Cardiff before bottom club Huddersfield visit Anfield.
Then they will be hoping for a favour from former Reds manager Rafa Benitez when they make the trip to Newcastle, before they play Wolves at home on the final day.
For City, it’s Tottenham and home followed by Manchester United away, Burnley away, Leicester at home, and Brighton away.
There is a lot of bad marketing advice out there. Here’s a list of what to ignore, along with what to do instead.
With so many people professing to help you market better, it’s difficult to tell the genuine from the phony.
A few years ago when my business hit a slump, I hired a sales and marketing coach. While he offered some valid advice, he also provided a few snippets of pure nonsense, such as wandering the streets of NYC networking.
He also advised that I forget about revamping my antiquated website since that would divert me from my key task of finding new clients. Hey, can’t a website be a powerful source of new business?
The problem with this coach was that his head was buried in the past. He was advising for a pre-Internet world that no longer existed.
Unfortunately, he is not the only one out there offering up schlock disguised as wisdom.
To help you sort through the gobs of marketing misinformation out there, here is a checklist of what not to do, along with a list of what to do instead.
Don’t follow all the advice of marketing experts. This is not meant to tar all consultants, many of whom offer excellent advice. It’s to remind you that if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
Instead weigh up what the marketing coach says. Everyone operates from some bias, and the consultant’s bias may come at your expense. If you’re not sure, run a suggestion by a trusted friend or colleague.
Don’t try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. If your product or service is bad, forget about it. No amount of marketing is going to make people buy something that’s lousy.
Instead fine-tune your product or service so that it sets you apart from the competition and provides a benefit. Does it have to be better than anything else on the market? No. But it does have to provide value people will want.
Don’t ignore self-promotion. I hear this a lot among baby boomers and sales types, who don’t want to appear to be bragging or boasting. This is a misunderstanding of marketing, part of which entails branding yourself. The key is how that’s done.
No one wants to know how great you are. They do want to do know how to improve their lives.
Instead become known as an expert and thought leader. The best way to do this is to provide useful, engaging information that will help people in their lives. No one wants to know how great you are. They do want to do know how to improve their lives. If you can help make someone smarter, give them a chuckle or do somet...
Don’tneglect your website. That’s a little like ignoring leaky pipes. In both cases, you’re looking for trouble.
Instead become a website analytics junkie or hire one. Sniff out how people behave on your site using tools like Google Analytics. Discover where visitors drop off, what they share in social media, what they engage with. Then start improving your site based on your analysis.
Don’t spend endless hours going to meetings. While networking is great, it can often be a total waste of time. It’s like hanging out at a bar waiting for the right person to walk in when you might better spend your time seeking out that person online.
Instead be selective in the meetings you attend. Try to obtain a list of attendees ahead of time so you can see if a meeting will be worthwhile. And get a list of attendees after the meeting so you can follow up with people you didn’t have a chance to meet.

Support for Vikings running back Adrian Peterson doesn't extend to the governor's office.
"It is an awful situation. Yes, Mr. Peterson is entitled to due process and should be 'innocent until proven guilty.' However, he is a public figure; and his actions, as described, are a public embarrassment to the Vikings organization and the State of Minnesota. Whipping a child to the extent of visible wounds, as has...
However, I will not turn my back on the Vikings and their fans, as some have suggested. The Vikings belong to Minnesota -- and in Minnesota. This has been the team's only home; and our citizens, including myself, have been its most dedicated fans."
Peterson was indicted Friday on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child before sitting out Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
"It was absolutely heartbreaking to hear about what happened to this child," said Sen. Franken. "I'm a diehard Vikings fan, and watching the games on Sundays has been one of my favorite things to do since I was a kid. But this is just wrong, and I think the Vikings made the wrong decision here. This is in the hands of ...
UPDATE: Early Wednesday, the Vikings announced that they have placed Peterson on the Exempt/Commissioner's Permission list, which requires Peterson to remain away from all team activities until he resolves his legal situation.

LOS ANGELES — Weldon Kirui broke away from fellow Kenyan Willy Koitile in the final mile to win the men’s division of the 31st annual Los Angeles Marathon Feb. 14, while Nataliya Lehonkova of Ukraine was the women’s winner.
Kirui completed the 26-mile, 385-yard course in two hours, 13 minutes and seven seconds, 17 seconds ahead of Koitile. Kenyan Daniel Limo, who won last year’s race, was third in 2:13:52.
Lehonkova won in 2:30:42, ending a stretch of five victories in six years by African women.
Serkalem Abrha of Ethiopia was second among the women, at 2:32:24, and Julia Budniak, a native of Poland who now lives in the Los Angeles area, was third in 2:44:44.
Kirui and Lehonkova both earned $23,000 for their victories, while Koitile and Abrha each received $11,250 from a total purse of $100,000. The top five male and female finishers received prize money.
The threat of hot weather did not materialize for the elite runners with temperatures in the 60s from Dodger Stadium to Santa Monica.
Thick fog enveloped the last mile of the course and the winners could not see the finish line until they were a half-block from it.
Kirui’s luggage was delayed on his flights from Africa to Los Angeles, and he was running in a pair of new shoes provided by his sponsor, Sketchers Performance, which is also the race’s title sponsor.
Lehonkova attributed her personal-best time to speed work in training and a weekly long run of about 18 miles.
Lehonkova said she moved to the lead because of the slow pace in the women’s division in the opening kilometer.
Abrha said she had a “stomach illness” at a point in the race she did not specify and a cramp in her right leg after 20 miles.
