Yesterday we saw photos of model Justin Gaston struttin’ his stuff on the runway at the Ed Hardy fashion show held at Smashbox Studios for LA Fashion Week on Wednesday night and we learned that his 15-year old “friend”, Miley Cyrus, came out to show her support. It turns out that Miley positioned herself in the front row so that she could give Justin some good-natured ribbing from the crowd by flicking her tongue at him (her mother Tish Cyrus also got in on the teasing). The New York Post is reporting that in addition to Miley‘s tongue flick (which didn’t seem that scandalous to me), she and Justin were “all over each other” backstage which kind of disturbs me to think about. Here are a couple pics of Miley and her mother teasing Justin as he walked past them on the runway and the report from Page Six:

MILEY Cyrus had better be careful. The precocious 15-year-old Disney star showed up to LA Fashion Week Wednesday to catch her 20-year-old boyfriend, Justin Gaston, walking in the Christian Audigier show – and eyebrows rose at the pair’s behavior. According to an eyewitness, Gaston and Cyrus – who was there with her mother, Leticia, and her manager – “were all over each other backstage.” The heat extended to the runway where, every time Gaston walked, he would blow a kiss and wink at his teenage girlfriend, who in turn, “licked her lips seductively as he passed her.” The source also overheard a conversation in which Cyrus told a friend that “she was probably staying at Justin’s tonight and that they were going to skip the after-party and have a party of their own.” A rep for Cyrus said, “Miley had a great time at the show, but the whole sleeping-over thing never happened. Miley went home with her mom and manager. Leticia is very strict with her.”

While I question a bit the level of strictness that the Cyrus parents may inflict on their celebrity daughter, I must admit that it makes no sense for her parents to be so blasé about the relationship that has sprung up between a 20-year old man and their 15-year old daughter. I seem to recall how outraged they were when Vanity Fair published that photo of her bare back earlier this year (a photo they approved of when it was shot, I might add) and yet not only have no problem with Miley “befriending” a 20-year old man but publicly endorse their “friendship”. I sincerely hope all this gossy talk is just that … gossy talk. I cannot for the life of me rationalize how a 15-year old girl should be seriously involved with a 20-year old man. To me, it just seems so wrong.
