Miley Cyrus continues taking steps in healing after her breakup with undies model Justin Gaston.

The young Disney phenom has recently reconnected with former flame Nick Jonas, jet-skiing and cavorting in mythic teen-star romance fashion. She also got another kind of connection--stud to skin.

Cyrus has had her nose pierced, she revealed via Twitter. The small metallic stud is just a starter, likely to be replaced by something girly with diamonds once its healed sufficiently.
