Miley Cyrus thinks that Justin Bieber needs some time away from the spotlight to chill out. Fame can get to your head, and it's about time that the "Believe" crooner takes a breather. Meanwhile, rumors suggest that some "sexual tension" still exists between Liam Hemsworth's fiance and Selena Gomez's ex. Maybe that's why Cyrus cares so much?

In a recent interview with the popular British newspaper Sunday People, the 20-year-old "We Can't Stop" songstress claims that she knows what Bieber's going through... and he just needs a break.

"I told Justin to take a bit of time out and people aren't so obsessed with you and nit-pick... When you're not around, all they want is your music. They want to see what the next thing is. But when your music is out they just want to talk s#it about you... When you're a worldwide star, everyone sees everything. Lots of people make a video and put it on Instagram, some people might think it's funny but because it's Justin Bieber, it's like really bad."

Cyrus doesn't necessarily agree with Bieber's recent bad-boy ways (um, spitting on a member of the paparazzo), but she does understand where he's coming from:

"I always tell him just to be cool and not talk about it because when you talk it fuels the fire... He's still stupid though. But everyone does dumb stuff when they are messed up."

Rumors surrounding Cyrus's "struggling" relationship with "Hunger Games" beau Liam Hemsworth continue swirling on the web... prompting rumors that she's embarked on a sexy fling with the "Beauty and a Beat" pop star:

A so-called Ok! magazine insider claims, "There is sexual tension. Justin would do anything to hook up with Miley."
