Surrounded by friends, family and rumored boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, the singer, who turns 17 Monday, let loose with an ’80s themed bash last week at New York City’s Canal Room.

“The whole thing was a surprise,” says a source close to Cyrus, who enjoyed a performance by the cast of Broadway’s Rock of Ages and blew out candles on a custom-designed cake created by Buddy Valastro, the star of TLC’s Cake Boss.

“They didn’t want a girly girl cake,” says Valastro, who topped off the vanilla cake with Madonna-inspired lace, a stage and accents in Cyrus’s favorite color, purple. “It totally fit the theme. It was really awesome.”

It’s a theme Cyrus knows all too well – when she turned 15, the singer also had an ‘80s themed party in her hometown, Nashville. “She loves the ‘80s,” her mom Tish, who planned the Nov. 18 affair, told PEOPLE. “The fashion, the big hair– she thinks it’s so funky.”

A tour bus carrying the concert production crew of singer Miley Cyrus overturned in Virginia on Friday morning — reportedly killing its driver, with nine others suffering minor injuries.

The Associated Press reports that Cyrus, 16, was not on board the bus when it flipped on Interstate 85, about 40 miles south of Richmond.

According to TMZ, the bus involved was part of a 4-vehicle caravan and included 14 passengers.

The bus apparently drifted off the road — which was particularly wet from overnight rains. Authorities are not yet releasing the identities of those injured.

Miley Cyrus doesn’t want to be “an idol” for her young fans.

The “Hannah Montana” star insists she would rather be a role model who people look up to than an idealistic figure that teenagers want to be like.

She said: “If you look at me as a role model I agree with it. If you look at me as an idol, I don’t agree. An idol for me is someone that you want to replicate. You want to be them. I don’t wish that on anyone, to lose what they have personally, because that’s when your spark goes.”

Miley, 16 – whose controversial behavior has included appearing in racy photos published in Vanity Fair magazine, dancing with a stripper pole during this year’s Teen Choice Awards, and seemingly grabbing her crotch during a concert – also revealed she is planning to undertake charity work in Indonesia next year.

She told Britain’s Daily Record newspaper: “I’ve been planning going to Indonesia since I was eight. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I was never old enough to go with my church when they all headed out there.”

Miley was recently voted Worst Celebrity Influence by a teen website.

Miley Cyrus’ biggest career accomplishment isn’t Hannah Montana.

It’s a cameo she shot in the upcoming Sex and the City 2.

“It was the best job I’ve ever done,” the singer, 16, said on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Friday. “It was a total dream come true.”

She filmed her scene Oct. 17 at NYC’s famed Ziegfeld Theater. She wore the same dress as Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) at what appeared to be a movie premiere for Samantha’s on-and-off beau, Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis).

“I didn’t end up shooting until 11 p.m.,” Cyrus said. “It was awesome — I got a free trip to New York. I hung out in New York all day and then I got to go to the set. I literally shot for an hour-and-a-half, and it was done.”

Cyrus said “working with Kim was really cool. Sarah Jessica Parker was the nicest person in the world.”
