Billy Ray Cyrus makes an appearance on morning talk show The View later this morning where he makes a big announcement -- his divorce from Tish Cyrus is no longer happening. In his pre-taped interview, Billy Ray tells the ladies, "I've dropped the divorce. I want to put my family back together. . . Things are the best they've ever been. I feel like I got my Miley back. I feel like we're the daddy and daughter we were before Hannah Montana." Billy and Tish announced they were divorcing in October after 17 years of marriage. Along the way there were accusations of infidelity on the part of Tish, as well as reports of Miley-gone-wild with a video that surfaced online of the teen star smoking herb salvia out of a bong. In a recent interview with GQ magazine, Billy Ray said he blamed Hannah Montana for "destroying my family," but he corrected that at The View, saying, "Hannah Montana didn't ruin my family. Fame did. Sometimes when you get in this ride you feel like you're strapped to a rocket."
