i'm miley's number one fan. i'm a little bit nervous. it's the first time i've ever actually been face to face with her. i talk to her a lot, it's kind of like i talk and she responds with pictures. that's the way we communicate. and i just watch closely, i can tell exactly what she's doing. i've been watching her so long, i watch so closely, i know what kind of mood she's in, i know almost what she's thinking about by looking at a picture. most people say, how do you do that? it's not that hard if you just observe people, their body language and the way they act. after you watch that a while, you know exactly what they're doing. what they're thinking about. i'm going to get some flowers and ask her to marry me. it's very strange. i've been trying to -- you know. i've been to four or five concerts and for some strange reason, things just didn't -- things didn't work out. but they're going to work out today. so it's a pretty exciting day. >> some strange reason? talk about armed security guards, maybe? good eveni

is that more of the miley cyrus we're going to see?> first record i kind of kept it within the lines of what i usually do, which is a pop-rock sound. i don't really like using the rock title for it because it's an honor to be put in that title. i feel like the next record that's what i'll be able to do. this is kind of my transition. i wanted to put out "party in the usa" because it's a cool song for everybody. i think i've seen more moms dancing to it than kids. >> i'm always dancing to it. >> the moms are dancing and it's totally cool. the younger kids like it as well. but i feel like it's my way of supporting the clothing line, which it goes perfect for that kind of look. but next record i want to be able to step it up a little bit. but i'm real excited about this one because it's a good transition, introducing myself once again to everyone. >> and you mentioned your clothing line, sold exclusively at walmart. >> yeah. >> and along with the designer, max, you came up with this collection. how involved were you in designing the colle

now a lot of people are saying miley cyrus was doing some pole dancing. saw the entire thing and i don't think it is as scandalous as that picture makes it look. she's wearing a short pair of shorts and black leather biker boots but she's only on the thing for about 30 seconds. the thing that doesn't help her cause is she actually presented a pop star to britney spears and says i a big fan of hers. i hope that's not foreshadowing. but miley, i love you, keep paying my bill, my salary here at abc. >> keep paying for all of our salaries at abc. if it's a short pole dance it's okay i guess? >> no. but she just sort of -- >> she gyrated. >> that wasn't gyrating to me. >> pete was there some gyrating? >> no. >> i think the audience was young kids so it maybe was a little much. that's not a pole dance like i think of pole dance. >> miley, we love you nevertheless. >> reggie miller, the former basketball player, tnt commentator, he needs to stay away from another man's girl. you have to see the airline banner over the beish th weekend.
