According to USA TODAY, Billy Ray Cyrus, whose daughter is Miley Cyrus, talked about his expected divorce during the interview on “The Views.” The interview will air at 11 a.m. Friday.

He said, “I dropped the divorce. I wanted to put my family back together.”

Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife Tish issued a joint statement last October and they said they were going to end their 17-year marriage.

He also commented about the current situation with Tish, “You know what? Communication I think is one of the biggest problems that we as human beings have in this whole world, and I think for the first time me and my entire family are finally communicating with each other in a way that, it’s been quite some time… and to answer your question, things are really the best they’ve ever been.”

Also, he talked about his daughter, “I feel like I kind of got my Miley back in a way. I feel like we are the daddy and the daughter that we were before ‘Hannah Montana’ happened.”

Did ‘Hannah Montana’ destroy the Cyrus family?

However, he added, “I love Hannah Montana. I love Disney. That didn’t tear my family apart. Now fame, fame is a different animal, you’ve got to be careful with that thing because it can… (pause)… all things considered, hey, it’s all good.”

Miley Cyrus’ parents, Billy Ray and Tish, have decided to break up.

According to hecklerspray, Billy Ray and Tish confirmed yesterday that they are breaking up after 17 years of marriage.

They commented in a statement, “As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.”

The former couple have five children and Billy Ray is father to Metro Station’s Trace.

Back in time, Billy Ray starred as Miley’s onscreen father on the Disney show “Hannah Montana.”

There are a couple fun things happening, so here’s a mini round-up.

Soulja Boy spent Wednesday night in jail, MTV.com reported. He was arrested on charges of obstruction after Georgia police responded to a call about juveniles in an abandoned house and he fled the scene. The 19-year-old rapper was caught when he returned for his Ranger Rover. He was released Thursday morning on $550 bail.

Playboy will feature Marge Simpson on the cover and in a three-page spread in an issue out on Oct. 16. Why in the world, you ask? It’s the 20th anniversary of “The Simpsons.” According to EW.com, Marge’s nudity will be “implied nudity.”

And never fear, Miley hasn’t quit singing, acting or being annoying. But there will be a lesser degree of annoyance, because she’s deleted her Twitter account, the New York Daily News reported. Her last tweet said, “FYI Liam doesn’t have a Twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason.” Seems like a good call on Liam’s part (he may or may not be her boyfriend, no one is sure), but her father is not happy. Billy Ray tweeted, “Miley. You are a light in a world of darkness. You were born ‘Destiny Hope Cyrus’ for a reason. You can’t leave everyone now. We r countin on u.”

Yes, Billy Ray. When war, the economy, poverty and corruption get me down, where will I turn for comfort without Miley?

Besides, everyone is too busy having a cow about Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize to even notice.
