Oh, to be 16, filthy rich, and torn between two icky men. Such is the life for teen queen Miley Cyrus. Sources say she is struggling over unresolved feelings for her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas -for those of you who can’t tell them apart, he’s the one who looks like a French poodle – and 20-year-old underwear model Justin Gaston, who has been living with the Cyrus family for the last few months.

Miley Cyrus has some bad news for boyfriend Justin Gaston: She wants to get back together with her ex, Nick Jonas.

Although the 16-year-old “Hannah Montana” star has been dating 20-year-old underwear model/musician Gaston for nearly eight months, an insider says her heart belongs to first love Jonas. And the two — who split in 2007 — have found it impossible to stay apart from one another.

“Miley and Nick want to get back together,” our source tells us. “Because they’re working together [on a new video], they’ve been put in close proximity to each other. They’re now spending more and more time together, and they’re constantly on the phone.”

When the two were photographed together on a lunch date at L.A.’s Village Idiot in mid-April, Miley laughed off rumors of a romance, using the “just friends” chestnut.

But do friends kiss and cuddle? When the two get together these days, their relationship hardly seems platonic. Says our insider, “Miley was over at the Jonas house recently, and they were smooching. Nick’s parents have this rule that when a girl is over, the door has to be open, but that didn’t stop Nick and Miley from making out.”

According to the snitch, the couple is “very sweet together,” but they do have their squabbles — especially when it comes to telling Justin the truth. The source says Miley even turned on the waterworks recently, crying: “How do I tell him? I don’t know how to do this!”

Adds the insider, “She doesn’t know how to tell Justin that they’re over, but Nick is being very firm with her. He’s a good, stand-up kind of guy, and is making Miley tell Justin very, very soon. He’s being tough about it.”
Clearly, the two are MFEO (made for each other, in teenspeak). Miley recently told Ryan Seacrest, “Me and Nick … talk all the time and he is one my best friends. We really love each other, and I am happy we have been able to stay such good friends.”

But our snitch insists that the tween stars’ relationship has gone way beyond friendship. Says the insider: “I think Miley and Nick are definitely in the process of rekindling their romance.”

Nick’s rep told us, “We have no comment on our client’s personal life.” Miley’s flack didn’t respond by deadline.

Why do I feel like I just watched an episode of “Degrassi”? I think both boys are creepy, but that Jonas kid appears to have the personality of a wet dishrag. At least the underwear kid knows how to have a good time. If she gets back with Nick, does that mean she’ll start wearing a purity ring, too? Oh, boy – I can’t wait to hear her blather on and on about that.

Here’s Miley at the premiere of Hannah Montana in London on 4/24/09. She is shown with her dad and with Demi Lovato. Pictures with Justin Gaston after eating at Koi in Hollywood on March 30th.
