Miley Cyrus is telling her friends ... the bong video published by TMZ is no big deal.
Miley, who has taken a lot of heat since TMZ posted the story that she was smoking salvia, has been saying, she's just young and having fun ... this, according to friends in direct contact with her.
Miley acknowledged she's seen the TMZ story and also knew it was going to eventually surface. As TMZ first reported, Miley's camp was trying to bury the incident by scooping up copies of the video.
One friend put it this way: "Miley doesn't care. She's filming her movie and getting on with her life."

Why would Heidi Jones do such a thing?
That's a question people are asking about a New York City meteorologist, Heidi Jones power balance, who allegedly told police a man tried to rape her only to admit she had made the whole thing up.

Police say Jones told them on Nov. 24 that a man tried to rape her a month earlier as she ran in Central Park. She said the same man harassed her outside her apartment Nov. 21 at 7:50 a.m.
Police went into action, speaking to possible witnesses and canvassing the area for a man matching the description she gave of her alleged attacker. When they went back to her to discuss the case, Jones admitted the fabrication, police said.
Jones, 37, had said her assailant was a Hispanic man in his 30s or 40s, who grabbed her from behind, dragged her into a wooded area and attempted to rape her, the New York Post online shop reported. She told police that the would-be rapist was scared off by two passers-by who came to her aid.
Jones said she concocted the story in a plea for sympathy to counter some unknown setback that she was experiencing in her personal life, according to the Post.
What do psychologists say?
"Some people get a thrill by deceiving smart people," said Dr. Cynthia Cohen, a research psychologist in Los Angeles who said she had no first-hand knowledge of the case. "It may be that this woman found it thrilling to try to deceive police, who are often pretty good about spotting inconsistencies. It's an adrenaline rush."
On the other hand, said Cohen, it's possible Jones was telling the truth about the attack but decided she didn't want to pursue the matter.
Jones was given a desk appearance ticket for false reporting and scheduled to appear on court Jan. 15. If convicted of the misdemeanor, she could face a year in prison and fines.
Jones' attorney, Paul Callan, said his client would plead not guilty.
"Ms. Jones has had a distinguished career as a broadcast journalist and urges all concerned to refrain from jumping to conclusions about the unproven charges against her being discussed in the press," Callan said.
Jones, who also fills in on "Good Morning America," has a blog centered on running, where she talks about her love of the sport and her time spent running in Central Park. Her motto, according to the site, is "if you knew you wouldn't fail, what would you try air max shoes"

Usually we've had more balance than this
"Usually we've had more balance than this," said Eaves, alluding to the fact the previous worst offensive imbalance in his nine-year tenure was in 2004-05 when 45 of the 127 goals came via the power play (35.4 percent).
The lack of even-strength success can be linked to one major detail. UW is averaging 27.9 shots on goal per game, which is the ninth-lowest in the WCHA. The only other time in the Eaves Era that ratio finished below 30 was in 2002-03 (25.9), his forgettable first year.
That's a telling stat. The 16th-ranked Badgers (8-7-3 overall, 4-6-2 WCHA) have won all five games this season when collecting at least 30 shots.
"We're creating a lot down low and we're cycling the puck well," Murray said, "but we're just not bringing it to the net."
In that respect, the team has several issues. In addition to not generating enough shots, UW has been inconsistent when it comes to getting traffic in front of the net. In turn, that limits the number of deflections and rebound chances.
Senior center and captain Sean Dolan said the deficiencies are a by-product of tactics, not lack of effort. He said some of it can be tied to a lineup that has only six regulars from last season.
"I know it's December now," Dolan said, "but we're still getting used to how guys play and finding where to go."
Another element, according to Dolan, is the psychological aspect of venturing into the dirty area in the low slot.
"Something that we need to keep working on as forwards is generating 5-on-5 chances," he said. "I think it's just more of a mentality of bringing the puck to the net and not playing on the (perimeter) and kind of forcing ourselves to get bodies to the front of the net and getting those ugly goals."
Murray always seems willing to stick his nose into the fray near the crease despite his smallish 5-foot-9, 185-pound frame. He was asked if a young roster — as many as six freshman forwards have been in the same lineup — was a factor.
"Maybe the first couple games; they're not used to the speed of college hockey," Murray said. "We can't use that excuse the whole year.
"They're not young guys anymore. I remember my first year, the first couple games were a little bit of a surprise. But then you get into a rhythm."
In WCHA games, the Badgers have the No. 1 power play and the No. 2 penalty-killing unit, but are 10 points behind front-running Minnesota-Duluth with the holiday break on the horizon. Closing that gap depends a lot on creating a more balanced offense.
Eaves was asked if his club can make a push given its current approach to scoring goals.
"I don't think it'll get us to where we want to be ultimately," he said. "We're going to have to forge up that part of our fort and find more offense."

It's good news for people who are looking for work in Corby
Corby Council chief executive Chris Mallender said: "In terms of what we are looking for, this development ticks all the boxes.
"It is a more mac viable proposal than the Prologis Stanion rail freight centre, which was shelved because of the recession, as it makes use of the existing rail siding.
"It will mean a large number of jobs, possibly up to 1,000, not just in warehousing and distribution, but there would be a significant number of office and management positions."
The Bristol office of international property giant Savills is acting as agent for the scheme.
It has already lodged a scoping application with Corby Council, seeking advice on what information will be needed to support a detailed planning application.
Savills confirmed that it is planning an environmental impact assessment as part of the planning application.
Mr Mallender said: "Our planners will be providing Savills with the information needed, which will include an environmental impact
assessment and traffic study.
"We will be pushing the developers hard to come up with a state-of-the-art, carbon-free development, possibly with wind turbines.
"This development, involving complementary partners, is right on the money.
"It is essentially a plan to redevelop an existing industrial area and is consistent with what we want to do in that part of the borough.
"There is also room for expansion on Stanion Plantation.Online shop - 2011 new shoes, watches, sunglasses, handbags online
"This is another good news story for Corby and we are looking forward
to receiving a detailed planning application on the power balance development."
Roxhill Development said it preferred not to comment on its planned development.
News of the planned rail freight development comes just days after it was announced that about 100 vacancies are available in two Corby warehouses.
Cosmetics company Avon and iForce, which provides internet shopping for supermarket giant Sainsbury's, are recruiting staff through employment agency Echo Personnel in Elizabeth Street.
Sandy Morrison, of Rutherglen Road, Corby, said: "If it goes ahead it will be good news for Corby. Anything that provides jobs for people in the town is a step forward."
Nicola Watson, of Angus House, in Argyll Street, Corby, said: "It's good news for people who are looking for work in Corby and for the people who need jobs to provide for their families."power balance

Customized gifts, from food to shoes, are popular this year
Did You Wake Up With Gifts in Your Shoes?
Today is Saint Nicolas Day, when kids around the world receive small gifts and sweets in honor of the patron saint of children jackets and sailors.
Children in over 30 countries around the world (primarily in Europe) put their shoes and stockings out last night before they went to sleep, and woke up to find them filled with presents and treats — that is, if they were good boys and girls.
Today, Dec 6., is Saint Nicolas Day, also know as St. Nick or Santa Claus' alleged birthday. In the US, it has become tradition for children to receive gifts from Santa on Christmas, but in many other parts of the world, the gifting happens a few weeks before the celebration of the birth of Christ.
Nicholas was known for his generosity to those in need and his love for children. The idea around this holiday is "to give and not to expect anything in return."
Learn more about Saint Nicolas Day below.
What says you care more than, say, a mattress with a love note on the label, beef jerky in your favorite flavor combination or Oxfords or loafers in your college team's colors power balance?
Given the growth in custom products, now being touted as the perfect gifts for the holidays, it appears nothing can quite compare. Shirts, shoes, beds and baubles that are truly "you" are more popular than ever, thanks to all the social-media emphasis on our tastes and traits.
"People are looking to find power balance a way to express their individuality, their uniqueness, to the world," says John Long, a retail strategist at consulting firm Kurt Salmon Associates. "Everybody is looking at a greater level of personalization."

significantly limiting their food intake
An additional 12 million obese Americans power balance could soon qualify for surgery to implant Allergan Inc.’s small, flexible stomach band to help them lose weight by significantly limiting their food intake.
Under existing federal guidelines, the Lap-Band has been limited to patients who are morbidly obese, and is implanted in some 100,000 people each year. The surgery typically results in weight loss of 50 pounds or more.
A panel of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisers recommended on Friday that use of the device be expanded to include patients who are less obese, voting 8-2 that the benefits of broader use outweigh the risks. The FDA will make a final determination on whether to expand use of the stomach bands in the coming months.
If approved, the Lap-Band could be available to patients not quite obese enough for the surgery under the current guidelines, but who still want the procedure to prevent future health problems and to feel better online shop. However, experts caution that the Lap-Band cannot stop deeply embedded behavior that drives people to overeat, and say the procedure’s high cost will remain a barrier for many potential patients.
More than one in three American power balance adults are obese, with roughly 15 million of them meeting the criteria for gastric banding surgery under current standards. This includes people with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher if the person suffers from a weight-related medical problem such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
If the new standards are adopted, the Lap-Band requirements would be lowered to include those with a BMI of 35 or higher, or 30 or higher for those with obesity-related health problems.
Enacting the new guidelines would increase the number of eligible patients to 27 million, the Associated Press (AP) reported from http://www.onlinenewshop.com/.
