	The 20-year-old 'Hannah Montana' star showed support for her mother, who has backed a campaign to stop carriage rides in New York City, by pleading with her millions of Twitter followers to sign a petition to end the tourist attraction, reported E! online.
	After the young starlet posted a link to the online petition more than 6,000 of her devoted fans signed up in just a few hours, helping organisers New Yorkers for Clean, Livable & Safe Streets exceed their goal of 100,000 signatures.

	Cyrus, who was raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and Tish join a host of other stars, including Alec Baldwin, Lea Michele and Pamela Anderson, who are behind the cause to eliminate horse-drawn carriage rides, deeming them abusive to the equine animals.

After being in films for over 20 years and making his mark in the elite Rs 100 crore club with full-fledged masala entertainers, actor Ajay Devgn feels that meaty roles are still meant for industry veterans and the younger lot does not fit the bill.
	Big stars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay, who are in their 40s are still calling the shots in Bollywood and the industry depends on them when it comes to box office.
	There are hardly any actors who have managed to challenge their supremacy to which Ajay says, "There is no success mantra as to why we all are still liked and doing well. I think when the audience accepts one actor it is for life, till you stop working. The kind of films that have worked well at the box office in the recent past you can't cast boys in it."
	"Be it 'Dabangg', 'Rowdy Rathore','Singham'... You can't take a boy as it won't to do justice to the film and the role. Like boys can do romance and all but eventually they grow to be .
