LOS ANGELES - When Liam Hemsworth broke up with Miley Cyrus, he bought a house in California - not knowing that she had used it to record an album.

This anecdote was told by Cyrus, 24, in an interview with Howard Stern on his Wednesday show. "When we broke up, he wanted to get away from me," she said, adding that the house seller hid the mementoes linked to the recording in the garage so that Hemsworth would find anything objectionable.

There is a happy twist to the story. The house is now where the reunited couple call home, Billboard reported.

Cyrus admitted she feels insecure when Hemsworth, 27, is paired up with attractive actresses in his movies.

When Stern asked if she does spot-checks at the location settings, Cyrus said she had other options to tap on. "I keep my little spies. So I don't always have to be there."
