It can be dangerous for the ladies to get too close to Justin Bieber, and Miley Cyrus knows this. (Just ask Selena Gomez.)

So naturally, she took steps to ensure her safety during a performance featured in Bieber's money-haulin' new flick Never Say Never where the young star put his hand on her hip. So how'd Miles handle the situation?

She spilled all to Ryan Seacrest tonight at the Grammys:

"I did a walk-back," she told Ryan Seacrest as she made her way into the Staples Center. "I didn't want to get hate mail from other fans! I know how that hate mail can be...There are some die-hard Bieber fans."

Definitely sounds like someone learned from what Gomez went through.

Check out the video to hear more from Miley on the Beebs, how easily she switches between music and movies and also catch a glimpse of that new tattoo that was recently making waves.
