Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Such a Gentleman!

Justin Gaston made his first awards appearance with Miley Cyrus, escorting her to the BMI Country Awards in Nashville on Tuesday night.

Aw, they do make a cute couple. Despite all the bitching, I don’t think that a 15-year-old dating a 20-year-old is that big a deal, especially when the 15-year-old is Miley Cyrus. It’s not like she’s led a particularly sheltered life. I mean, it’s one thing if you pluck out the average small-town high-school freshman and throw her into a relationship with USC’s starting quarterback. But come on. Miley Cyrus isn’t the average 15-year-old and, in fact, would probably have absolutely nothing in common with your average 15-year-old dude.

Also there: Carrie Underwood, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Bucky Covington, Taylor Swift (although she’s hard to find under her eyelashes), Faith Hill, Lee Ann Womack, Sarah Buxton and Tim McGraw.

  • I just think it’s weird tho for a 20 year old to WANT to be dating a 15 year old…. it’s just too much of an age difference when one is so young. But yeah, I agree that she’s not the “average” 15 year old…. wait isn’t she 16 now? regardless.

  • Okay, maybe we can make an exception for Miley because she’s a big Disney whore or whatever.
    But I do think it’s a little irresponsible to say that a 15-year-old coupling with a 20-year-old isn’t “that big a deal.”
    I mean, there’s a reason it’s illegal in most states.
    Generally a baaaaaaaad idea.

  • In general a 20 year old does not have anything in common with a 15 year old. Star or otherwise. This is an exception to the rule. Not because she’s more mature than your average 15 year old. Contrary to belief stardom can make a 25 year old immature. Do we have to list the tragedy that is/was Lohan, Paris, Brit, Perez, Nessa, Birts lil sis, Mariah, ectect. He is a sheltered model. Shes a sheltered star. They relate on the whole going off to high school/college (real life) won’t break this relationship up because we co-exist on delusional plane (not real life) where the sky is the limit. The moment he steps into accounting school and she attends a real HS that’s the moment the relationship is ova.

  • What the fuck? 20-year-old boys don’t go out with girls unless they have sex. I would think this would especially ring true for a 20 year-old underwear model. So Miley, who is 16, a Disney pawn, and a role model young girls EVERYWHERE is fucking some famewhore with douchebag hair. That is a big fucking deal, and it’s wrong. If she was some back woods podunk skank, who was 16 and dating a high school dropout skoal chewing inbred, no one would care. But she is setting the example! It would be different if she wasn’t on Disney promoting good choices for kids. But she is.

    • Er, I guess I know different 20-year-olds than you. Most of them are okay with being in a relationship without sex.

  • Yeah.. it’s fucking weird that a 20 year old guy would WANT to date a 15 year old girl. I get that she IS Miley Cyrus so that’s gotta be the main reason why he’d commit a felony publicly.. but still, it’s kinda fucked up. Whether she was raised in Hollywood and grew up fast or not, she’s still a kid. The 20 year old guy is dating a KID.

    Any why the hell haven’t police arrested this guy yet? It’s called statutory rape.

  • um. no one thinks he might be in it for the money? duh. i’m 34 and i would date a 15 yr old if they were that rich. (i know, like all the rich disney stars are knocking at my door. . .)

  • well, I mean Klipper, he would have to be having sex with her to be charged with statutory rape, obviously. It’s not like they have been having sex in public. You can’t arrest people for hanging out with people of different ages. What they are doing in public is not illegal, and none of us know for certain what they are doing in private.

    he’s religious too right? maybe they actually want to wait. or maybe he is one of those weird self-hating religious gays.. so he doesn’t even want to bang her.. but doesn’t mind all the free publicity.

  • Well they seem happy, America just seems to overreact about things like this, 18 is such an arbitrary line anyway. (I’m from England by the way, where far less people would care about this)

  • It really isn’t a big deal. I started dating my boyfriend when I was 17 and he was 21… We are still together happy and living together.

  • I really just think he wants to go down in the brotherhood wall of fame as the guy who fudged disneys princess. It’s probably a pretty prestiguous trophy. Even then, he’s a brave man to in all the effort. She is one annoying little troll.

  • He’s having sex with someone. That’s a guarantee.

    If it’s not Miley (and who says it isn’t?), it’s some other, legal, guy or gal.

  • Hmm, no comments about pervs on this thread. Guess it only applies when we’re talking about a 21 yr old dude shaking his little finger, er, weiner at us on a Broadway stage, but not when we’re talking about condoning statutory rape. Gottit. Anyway, uh, anyone notice that this guy looks like her dad in this photo? Blech. And did anyone see her on Tyra? She behaves like a 40 year old in many respects. She seems so not-girl.

  • Uh, we get why a 15 year old would be psyched to date a 20 year old. What is less clear is why a 20 year old wants to hook up with a kid her age. I don’t recall that the statutory rape guidelines take into account a 15-year-old’s worldliness.

  • Hallie I think it’s really ignorant to call her a disney whore, She’s young, got pressured to do some things she shouldn’t have done but she’s kept her head up high and has gotten through it.And actually I hated Justin Gaston at first but now, this is the first time I actually think they look cute together and like a real couple. And her parents try to keep a pretty close monitor of them and if they know him,like him and don’t have a problem with this we shouldn’t either,it’s not like she’s your daughter.

  • sure! bigger question…what could a 20 year old possibly see in a 15 yr. old in comparision to all the hot college-age punnany running around at his fingertips?

    answer: EASY-STUPID-PUSSY

  • @slouchy:

    You are correct-that is Hank Williams, Jr. I was wondering if I was the only one to catch that.

  • Has anyone else noticed that since Miley’s been dating this guy, whenever she smiles for a camera, it’s totally a fake smile? Her eyes are wide-open like staring down the camera lens, to the point where it’s a little creepy. Like, she can’t even be herself with this guy.

  • Oh please people.. If she was just a little bit mature, she would have never taken those pictures for her ex boyfriend, and she toke those when? like 2-3 years ago when she was 10 years old.. How fucking mature is that? She’s just very promiscuous and that’s why she’s got this older guy now, that’s it.. And of course they dont have anything in common but the fact that they like sex.. that’s it.

  • Oh sure Tako because you know them personally,right? And the pictures thing was a year ago when she was 14,15,get over it,that’s why I brought up the pictures because it was a mistake,she got throught it,probably better than most older people would have and you don’t know what she does or doesn’t do with boys,or what Justin does you need to stop assuming and leave that alone.

  • they do look good together. since thats all that matters… not.
    but still, it could be some media or PR thing going on, could be real, could be a crush, him wanting money/fame, could be anything.
