Miley Cyrus definitely knows how to remain in the news and stay up there just in time for her album "BANGERZ" release on October 2nd. The 20-year-old just got topless - again - for the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine.

The "We Can't Stop" singer gets candid, hits at her critics (read Taylor Swift, her on screen mother Brooke Shields) and also gets the bottoms of her feet tattooed with "Rolling $tone." As we read further we come to know about Miley's thoughts on the men in her life. Talking about the first man in her life, her dad Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley says she was shocked when she came to know that he smoked weed.

"I never knew my dad smoked weed. I thought my dad was a freak. Now I know he was just stoned," Miley quips. Then the talk moves on to "Blurred Lines" singer Robin Thicke, with whom she gave her first live controversial performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Miley says that no one is talking about "the man behind the ass."

"No one is talking about the man behind the ass. It was a lot of 'Miley twerks on Robin Thicke,' but never, 'Robin Thicke grinds up on Miley.' They're only talking about the one that bent over. So obviously there's a double standard," she complains.

When the magazine talked to her on her neighbour actor and comedian Steve Carell, Miley says she always creates trouble for the 51-year-old when she parks her car.

"He always gives me the stank-eye because I drive so fast. The other day I was trying to reverse and I almost hit a thousand things, and I was getting nervous because I could see him [crossing his arms and sighing]. I'm like, oh, my God, 'Dan in Real Life' is watching me right now!," she says.

Then the talk moves to Justin Bieber, whose black Range Rover is parked inside Miley's garage. "I'm not gonna lie," she says. "I think that might be Bieber's." The singer confesses she hangs out with him "a little bit" but since she is not much older to him.

"But not really. I'm not much older than him, so I never want it to feel like I'm mentoring him. But I do mentor him in a way. Because I've been doing this shit for a long time, and I already transitioned, and I don't think he's quite done it yet," Miley says adding that though people do not take him seriously, he can actually play a lot of musical instruments.

"He really can play the drums, he really can play guitar, he really can sing. I just don't want to see him ... that up, to where people think he's Vanilla Ice. I tell him that. Like, 'You don't want to become a joke. When you go out, don't start ... Don't come in shirtless," she adds.

Miley also revealed that it was not because of her ex-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth that she cried in the "Wrecking Ball" video but because her dog had died. When the interview was taken Miley had not announced her split with Hemsworth.

Miley believes that one can really know if you truly love someone based on skydiving. In Miley's case, Liam Hemsworth wasn't the first name she screamed out when she skydived.

"One thing about sky diving, you really know who you love, based on who you call [afterward]," the "Wrecking Ball" singer hinted during the interview and announced split two weeks later. The singer is now rumoured to see rapper Mike Will Made It with whom she also collaborated on a rap song "23."
