This time, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth must be going out of their way to make it work.

Miley Cyrus was expected to perform her gay rights anthem “Hands of Love” at a party but all of a sudden couldn’t make it. The song, from the film Freeheld, was written by Linda Perry.
It was Perry who announced that Cyrus could not make it. She was still in Australia at the time of the show. While Hemsworth’s name wasn’t dropped as the reason for her absence, sources told E! News that Miley Cyrus and her ex are indeed rekindling their relationship, and the two were spotted together at the Falls Music Festival in Byron Bay over the holidays.

Though inconvenienced, Perry only had good things to say about the pop star. She said it was “Freeheld” star and producer Ellen Page’s idea to have Cyrus sing the song. “She called her and Miley said yes,” Perry said. “I was expecting a f–king hurricane, but she came in all chill, ready to be of service, sang the song like three times and was like, ‘Linda, do you need anything else?’ She was so generous with her time. She was so sweet. I’m a huge fan now because of that.”
“Hands of Love” is one of the songs favored for an Oscar nomination next month.
Perry performed during the party as did Courtney Love, Juliette Lewis, The Cult’s Ian Asbury and Christina Aguilera.

“I’m here in support of Linda Perry,” Xtina said before belting out a cover of John Lennon’s “Mother”. “I’m sort of just getting over the flu a little bit so I was hesitant, but she’s just one of the most incredible, amazing, genuine, raw, just gifted, insanely talented writers, musicians and artists.” –Source
