Hot on the heels of her sexy snaps and bagging out fellow Disney teen stars, the world's most famous girl, Miley Cyrus, has a new boyfriend. An older boyfriend. As in, five years older. When you get to my age, on the slippery slope to thirty, it doesn't make two figs of difference whether you go out with someone five years older or not.

It does when you're fifteen.

Miley may be a mega star, but fifteen is still pretty young.

Justin Gaston, her rumoured new flame, is a 20-year-old underwear model and aspiring country singer. Interestingly, dad Billy Ray met Justin before Miley did, as he was a contestant on Cyrus senior's reality show, Nashville Star.

The first thing I would wonder is why on earth a 20-year-old is interested in a 15-year-old child? As cute as Miley is, I can't help but think that this smacks of publicity for a struggling singer-slash-model.

I don't know how strict your dads were when you were growing up. Mine always told me he knew exactly what boys were after, ‘cause he'd been one. If he'd found out I was going out with a 20-year-old guy when I was 15 there would have been hell to pay.

Does Billy Ray have anything to say about this? Maybe he and the wife should try and get an advanced copy of Lynne Spears' new book, because Lord knows they don't want their daughter going down the road that Britney's just had to navigate.

Miley and Justin have been snapped mooching round LA and this week going to a church service with her family. Several blogs bagged them out for wearing singlets and jeans to a service. I don't think is one way or the other. The way I see it, God would be so pleased that you could take time to tear yourself away from Facebook, Sky TV and the couch to bother coming to worship for an hour that he couldn't really give a rats what you wear, as long as your bits and pieces aren't hanging out.

"Miley and Justin were really playful with each other," an eyewitness at the evangelical church tells OK! magazine. "And for being with her parents, they were extremely touchy-feely. Miley had her hands on Justin's stomach. They definitely seemed like a couple. Her parents, Billy Ray and Tish, really gave them space."

In church? Go easy, you two! I'm sure Sarah Palin would not approve.

Ouch! Obama camp bums out Lohan

Hot on the heels of bagging out Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy, you'd think Lindsay Lohan would be the ideal mouthpiece for the Obama-Biden campaign, right?

Wrong.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Lindsay was extremely interested in doing some promotional work for the Obama campaign, and even got in touch with staffers to moot the possibility of hosting events to appeal to younger voters.

Obama's people considered it, then politely told her to talk to the hand. In diplomatic politician speak, of course.

However, a top source in the Obama camp told the paper the actress '"is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.'"

I think they must have been toying with the idea until Barack Obama watched Lindsay's last stinker, I Know Who Killed Me. That stopped the idea dead in its tracks.

But it doesn't end there. When the McCain campaign caught a whiff of Lindsay's rather embarrassing beat down, they issued a statement to gossip site TMZ.

"So let me get this straight," sayeth a McCain staffer. "They turned away Lindsay Lohan, but Barack Obama has friends like unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko? Maybe LiLo is just too upstanding for Barack Obama."

Er, I doubt that's the reason.

Team Obama told TMZ it's "glad to see they're focused on the important issues over in McCain HQ."

And a story about Lindsay wouldn't be complete without an opinion from one of her attention hogging parents.

The floor to Michael Lohan, courtesy of TMZ: "Everyone is entitled to an opinion and so is Obama and his staff. Then again, you know what they say about opinions.

Unfortunately, for them, to make such a comment about my daughter was a big mistake ... Look at Angelina Jolie and the wonderful things she has done in her life, and now watch how Lindsay does the same."

Michael. Angelina has six kids, is a UN ambassador and gives millions of dollars to children's charities and towards medical research. She's friends with Mariane Pearl. Lindsay Lohan drink drives, went to rehab three times last year, and has probably given hundreds of thousands of dollars to LA-area nightclubs. She is not friends with underpants.

Sex and the City: Back to the future

If the Sex and the City movie didn't satisfy your appetite for all things Carrie and co. related, hold on to your Manolos. Perez Hilton reports that the author of the original Sex and the City columns, Candace Bushnell, has plans to write a pair of novels about Carrie's life in high school.

The Carrie Diaries will revolve around the budding writer's romances and friendship - a lot like the series, I guess, without the Manhattan setting. In a statement issued by her publisher, Bushnell says that high school is where Carrie "began observing and commenting on the social scene," and that she was always "a leader, not a follower."

What would Carrie have worn without money to spend on designer duds? Would she have dated the jock, the guy in the band, or the angsty loner?

Every time I write about Sex and the City now it reminds me of the cover of a bad porno flick I saw online. The cover, I mean, not the flick. It had a very un-Sarah Jessica Parker Eastern European model dressed up Carrie styles against a faux Manhattan backdrop, and the title was ‘Sex in her Shitty.'

Hee.

I know, I have some growing up to do.
