Last month (Jul11) officials at the Bowling Proprietors Association of America (BPAA) gave the public the chance to vote for their favourite celebrity bowler, with names including Kardashian, Bieber, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga and Jeff Bridges.

And now Hannah Montana star Cyrus has been named as the winner, after securing 42 per cent of the votes. Meanwhile, Bieber lost out after landing in the number two slot for the second consecutive year.

Steve Johnson, executive director of the BPAA, says, ""We knew that with megastars such as Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber in our lineup that this year's race would be a close one.

""Fueled by the passion and support of her supporters and bowling fans worldwide, Ms. Cyrus rose to the occasion scoring an incredible comeback victory. We are honoured to welcome her into the Hall of Fame and grateful for her support of the great sport of bowling.""

Last year (10) Taylor Swift was inducted into the bowling Hall of Fame.
