Although they are not a couple at present, the former Hannah Montana star wants to get back with Liam once he learns not to be so controlling.

A source said: 'Miley is a fiery character, and they do fight, but she is crazy about Liam. She isn't ready to accept it might be over for good.'

Another insider added: 'If Miley has her way, the break-up won't last because she's head over heels for Liam and ultimately doesn't want to lose him.'

Read her interview in the new issue of Cosmo and she just shoves Liam hemsworth "her hubbie" down the readers throat, he seems like such a private person, she's too attention seeking for him!

Hmm.. If you look at them as a young gorgeous couple, you can see why he fell for her all American Sweetheart look, not the peroxided tattoo punk banger chick she is today, it's a hideous look for her and she sure as hell can't pull it off!

Miley's not one of the great beauties of the world, but she looked so much better with hair.

What is this?! How can you put "his ex" under a photo of her still wearing her engagement ring! Just leave it alone DM, there is no official statement anywhere saying they've broken up!

The Promoters for the movie must have just loved that decision. Far too much money involved, stars are not looked on with much favor if they back out of big world movie premiers. After all if the star doesn't show up to promote his work to the fans, and support his costars, what is to give them the incentive to go see it. Bad idea to mix his broken romances with his commitments. If you were like most of us with a job to do, and told the boss you were too low because you just broke up with your Boyfriend/girlfriend, and couldn't possibly work, he would tell you not to let the door bite you in the bottom, on your way to the unemployment line.
