Miley Cyrus Slapping Little Person Booty and Crying

While Miley Cyrus has been getting wildly effusive praise for her talents after the success of Wrecking Ball she stepped up on the iHeartRadio stage in Las Vegas Saturday to perform. The singer had enough little people on stage that it looked like a Wizard of Oz reunion. All that was missing was the Lollypop Guild. And Miley was really getting into her performance. Crying at one stage and slapping little person booty the next.

The former Hannah Montana performed her cover of Look What They’ve Done to my Song as part of her four song set. She also sang Wrecking Ball, her number one on Billboard chart in its first live performance. She did her routine on the Clear Channel festival outdoor stage.

The crowd was excited to see the 20 year-old singer and they were chanting the singer’s name. Darren Criss, who plays Blaine Anderson on the Fox Networks showGlee, performed the emcee duties and he introduced the We Can’t Stop singer to the audience. Criss had no trouble coming up with an appropriate intro as he fell back on the old, Miley needs “no introduction” routine.

Miley was attired in a pair of ubiquitous short-shorts with matching camisole or teddy top that laced in the front. Her cast of little-people dancers come on as mushrooms, flowers, and a couple who were wearing a huge rainbow. One of the little people was dressed in a similar style to Miley; short-shorts and a white halter-type top. It was this young lady’s booty that Cyrus slapped while they were twerking together. Her crying came later.

The drums being played for her four-song set had a picture of Miley on the bass drum with her equally ubiquitous tongue hanging out.

Her four numbers were We Can’t Stop. Party in the U.S.A., Wrecking Ball, and Look What they’ve Done to My Song. As part of her performance, she spoke of the recent negative press she has been getting. She explained that her videos and the VMA performance might be getting her in “trouble” but she was just doing what her “heart and soul” told her to do. She also admitted that everything was “inspired by music.”

It was this little spiel that prefaced her Look What They’ve Done to My Songperformance. Miley did her version of the Melanie Safka song, which had a Cyrus country feel to it. The song is about being in the public’s eye and feeling pressured by the close scrutiny. Twice during her performance she “cried.” She faked tears for her Safka cover and later, when she performed her number one hit, Wrecking Ball, she cried again.

Sources at the performance were under the impression that she was really broken up while singing the song. But considering that the music video that featured Miley in her birthday suit also featured her crying, it was most likely part of the act. Although some felt it was the loss of Liam Hemsworth that prompted the tears.

When Miley ended her set with her recent number one and she thanked all her fans for supporting her. In the middle of her act one over enthusiastic fan threw a bra up on stage. Miley took it in her stride and allegedly threw it right back. She told the crowd that this was her first time to thank all her fans for helping Wrecking Ballreach number one.

Miley Cyrus put on one heck of a show. Singing, crying, slapping a little person’s booty and throwing a bra back into the crowd. What more could you ask for?

Miley Cyrus Starting to Crack: Nip Slips and Stage Blubbering [Video]

After months of being in the limelight, producing an endless series of provocative performances, wearing outlandish attire and twerking her way out of relationships, are there telltale signs Miley Cyrus is starting to crack? Performing a recent gig at the iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas, on Sep. 21, the We Can’t Stop singer began to blubber. Aside from this emotional spectacle, Miley also experienced a nip slip, as an unsuspecting crowd of fans looked on.

The Nip Slip

Miley’s supporters were clearly in full-force, as she arrived on stage to rapturous cheering. She began by graciously thanking her fans for attending the event, and helping to propel her new single Wrecking Ball to number one on the Billboard top 100.

She then went onto address recent stirrings within the media:

“As you know, there’s always things that I’m doing that are getting me into trouble, but really it’s just me doing what my heart and my soul is telling me to do, and it’s all inspired by my music.”

Although many consider Miley to have been in a state of undress during her Video Music Awards performance, the young singer inadvertently took things to a whole new level during the iHeartRadio festival.

E! News reports that Miley had a wardrobe malfunction, whilst on stage. However, this nip slip did not seem to deter Miley one bit; later on during the proceedings, she switched into an even more risqué outfit. This time, Miley was sporting a meshed garment, with her assets concealed by nothing more than a couple of black nipple covers.

Stage Blubbering

Miley (aged 20), as expected, delivered a live performance of Wrecking Ball. Many, quite naturally, speculate the song is a reference to her relationship with Liam Hemsworth.

Last week, the couple called off their engagement and put an end to their relationship. Speculation over precisely what triggered the split is rife. Held at the Barclay’s Center in New York, Many report Liam Hemsworth (aged 23) to have been mortified by Miley’s racy VMA performance. However, other sources close to the pair suggest the romance to have been on the rocks long before Cyrus’ eccentric collaboration with Robin Thicke.

Throughout her Wrecking Ball performance, Miley was evidently very emotional. Undoubtedly, the performance now has even greater personal meaning following the official demise of her relationship, perhaps explaining the outpouring of emotion.

Miley accidentally shows a bit too much flesh at the iHeart music festival in Vegas

On the other hand, this is quite conceivably a sign that the star is beginning to crack. Of course, the song is a sad reminder of her once impassioned affair with Hemsworth, but maybe there is more to it than meets the eye. Miley Cyrus grew up as a part of the media circus, flying under the radar as an innocent child sensation. In adopting a new musical and stylistic direction, Miley is heading into unfamiliar territory and, as a consequence, is receiving an unprecedented critical reception.

Many perhaps forget that Cyrus is only 20 years of age; with the huge media storm, and all the negative publicity surrounding her recent actions, one must question whether she is equipped to handle what is coming her way.

The pop star’s voice began to waver and, at one point, she even commenced furious head-banging; perhaps, this was a bid to disguise her emotions, or simply an act to recompose herself. After her stint was over, mascara-stained tears were streaked along her face, as Miley welled up.

Hollywood Life report that Miley put on an entertaining show. Arguably, for anybody witnessing the events unfold, it may have been heralded as a passionate showcase. On the other hand, with the singer in a clearly fragile state, what is the public likely to witness next? Some would, of course, argue that Miley’s criticism is well-deserved after recent events. However, it remains to be seen how such a pliable, young mind can cope with the rigors of the fickle world of entertainment.

Meanwhile, putting nip slips and stage blubbering to one side, Miley is alleged to have moved on; the star is reportedly dating music producer, Mike Will Made It, who worked with Cyrus on her Bangerz record album. Was this a natural progression for the star, or could this move be regarded as a response to Liam Hemsworth’s newfound romance with Eiza Gonzalez? Time will tell.

Miley Cyrus: Hemsworth Dumped Her Before VMA

While it appeared to the world that Miley Cyrus dumped Liam Hemsworth, the truth of the matter may be very different. After she made her oblique announcement of the breakup via her unfollowing action on Twitter, a source said that Hemsworth dumped her before the VMA performance.

Or at the very least, while she was twerking her butt into Robin Thicke’s crotch onstage. Someone close to the couple claim that the two broke up a long time before the news of their split was made public.

E! News reported that about the same time that Miley was twerking onstage for the MTV Video Music Awards, Liam was packing his bags and transporting his stuff out of his 20 year-old fiancee’s home in Los Angeles. A source told them that the couples engagement had been off since that time.

Miley officially announced the end of her engagement to Hemsworth on Monday, stating after nearly four years, it was over between the two.

It has been opined that the timing of Liam moving out, suggests that he dumped Miley Cyrus before the VMA controversy and that her lascivious live performance was not her “revenge” at Hemsworth for leaving her. It has also been pointed out that the couple had split up before her routine on MTV and before Hemsworth packed his things and left.

It has been alleged that Miley engineered the move to break things off after suspecting that Hemsworth had been dallying around with January Jones and was “less than faithful to her.” But it does look like Liam made the move to leave first. Cyrus must have been dumped by Hemsworth because between the intervention from his brothers and the controversy that her image change generated gave him no choice.

When the news broke that Miley unfollowed Liam on Twitter, it was reported that the 23 year-old Hunger Games star denied that he had been sneaking around with Jones while he was engaged to Cyrus. Hemsworth’s rep stated that the allegations were not true and went so far as to call the reports “tabloid” journalism.

When the 20 year-old pop star hinted that the relationship with Hemsworth ended with an unfollow over the weekend, Hemsworth was living it up in Las Vegas and tweeting about it. Sources close to the ex-couple have said that the two have been “living separately” for quite a while now. The rumors of liam receiving solace fromMad Men‘s January Jones still exist despite his rep’s vehement denial.

Miley has been publicizing each of her new singles that have been released from her Bangerz album. First with We Can’t Stop and then Wrecking Ball. The whistlestop pace she has to maintain has not been conducive to a good relationship. Add to that mix the “sexing” up of her old Hannah Montana image, which, allegedly embarrassed Hemsworth, and the cracks were deep enough to break the young couple up.

Another source says that Miley is getting on just fine. She is focussed on her career shift and enjoying the success that her record-breaking Wrecking Ball music video has garnered. Cyrus is also shifting gears into high speed to start the run up to herBangerz album release. It seem that she has been so busy that Hemsworth had to make the move to “dump” her before her embarrassing VMA performance.

Miley Cyrus Announces Break Up With Liam

There were buzzes and whispers. There were suspicions. Now Miley Cyrus has officially broken off her engagement with long time beau Liam Hemsworth. Miley’s colorful love life made news many more times than her songs did. Her relationship got rocky with Liam during the last six months, still the duo remained engaged and tight-lipped as well. Liam has always objected to Miley’s continuous use of twitter and tweets with handsome fans. Now Twitter gave the first hint on their break up. Miley unfollowed her beau on twitter, though Liam still follows the Disney star. Miley announced the break up with Liam.

Seemingly Milley’s stage performance and videos created too much hullabaloo among fans and also on Liam’s heart. Over protective Liam didn’t take it lightly that Miley was giving herself a hand-job with foam fingers or that she appeared naked on video. ‘Wrecking ball’ brought her back to the spotlight once again, but it somehow did little more than ruin her relationship with Liam. ‘Tweaking balls’ is not always cool.

A friend of Liam’s said, “Liam really does care about Miley, but her racy new look and sort of ghetto attitude isn’t exactly what he signed up for.”

“He doesn’t really see anything sexy about what she did on stage,” he adds.

However, poor rich Liam is not obviously Mr. Clean. There were rumors that he’s developed a crush on some Latin angel. Once he was caught sending raunchy texts to actress January Jones and now Miley announced her break up with Liam over VMA award controversy.

Radar Online reported, “It’s not just Liam that Miley is pushing away…his entire team is urging him to part ways with her because she’s nothing but negative for his reputation and career.”

There were rumors about their rocky relationship, still the couple amazed the world by announcing their engagement, which created much hype and splendor on the media. Some envious celebs seemingly cursed them mentally. Still, they were together, giving a ‘defy to all enemies’ kind of solidarity. Liam was confident to take part in dashing innings with Miley, but she knocked him out by her raunchy stage performance.

Liam couldn’t take the way Miley made sexual moves in a latex bikini or did things dancing with Robin. A foam finger suddenly came between Liam and Miley to tear them apart.   Even her fans expressed their disgust after watching her VMA performance. Their favorite Disney star turned them down in a novel way.

One fan tweeted, “Miley Cyrus completely embarrassing herself at the #VMA awards. Jesus, have some self respect, there’s called being sexy, then just darn ugly.”

Another tweet spat, “I really want to go to sleep but I’m really worried Miley Cyrus might be hiding in my closet.”

And another person simply wrote: “Miley Cyrus that was disturbing.”

Miley disturbed her fans as well as her beau. Liam is really disgusted it would seem, but still he should forgive her. They’ve been dating since 2009 before getting engaged in 2012. If a girl forgives a boy, a boy should do the same. One doesn’t need to be female protagonist to support Miley Cyrus.

Maybe it’s the time to move on. Miley needs a new handsome beau for arm candy; this Aussie hottie fit the part for the time, but the Disney star will go on singing as if no one is listening and dance like no one is watching. For now, it’s time for separation. Miley Cyrus announced break up with beau Liam Hemsworth.

Miley Cyrus: Year 2013 in a Nutshell

With only three weeks left before 2013 finally pushes to a close, one name that has certainly stuck on everyone’s mind this year is that of Miley Cyrus. The pop singer undoubtedly made headlines this 2013, from her VMA performance to her split from fiancé, Liam Hemsworth. What else did Miley Cyrus do this year to make it to the news?

The year started out perfectly normal for Miley Cyrus. She vowed to quit smoking back in January, but to no avail.  She’s since been caught with joints, booze and molly. Before the excessive tweets about “twerking,” the former Disney star had been busy posting photos of herself, along with her many dogs. She was also on good terms back then with Hunger Games fiancé, Liam Hemsworth.

Things were pretty boring until Miley decided to chop off her hair and get it bleached. Twitter exploded in a matter of hours, where photos of Cyrus and her new hairdo were compared to that of Justin Bieber, Niall Horan, Tom Felton and Ellen Degeneres.

After the excessive tweets of her latest hairstyle and Chanel clothing, Cyrus introduced the latest dance craze, called “twerking.” It became even more of a hit after she had performed opposite Robin Thicke at the MTV Video Music Awards last August 25, 2013. Everyone talked non-stop about her racy performance and clothing that day. In fact, Harry Styles and Paris Hilton were two celebrities who copied Miley’s attire at the VMA’s for Halloween.

Following the scandalous performance, half-naked photos of Miley started to emerge online. The magazine covers followed suit, including those of her naked in the pool for Rolling Stone magazine. One celebrity to the next had a few scathing words to say about Miley’s latest antics, but that didn’t affect the singer one bit.

Adding to Miley’s success this year, were her two famous music videos and songs from her “Bangerz” album namely “We Can’t Stop” and “Wrecking Ball.” The latter video had much of the talk, given Cyrus was completely naked swinging from a wrecking ball. Days after the video was released, Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus’ representatives announced the split of the one-year-engaged couple.

Yet, the split didn’t faze Miley Cyrus because she continued to work her way to the top. Thanks to her crazy antics, “We Can’t Stop” and “Wrecking Ball” were named the most popular videos of the year, and she had even ranked number one on Yahoo’s top search for 2013. Billy Ray’s daughter managed to beat the likes of Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian.

With regards to her fashion sense, Time magazine awarded Miley as this year’s best and worst dressed.  If Ariana Grande was named the Mariah Carey of this generation, the Canadian duo, Tegan and Sara, had crowned Miley as the Madonna of today’s generation.

As for the latest on the “Bangerz” singer, she was recently spotted “twerking” over Santa Claus at the recently held Jingle Ball Concert in Los Angeles. With less than three weeks left before the end of the year, Miley Cyrus is sure to provide her fans with more outrageous and jaw-dropping acts.

Miley Cyrus Proves She Is Icon of Her Generation

Love her or hate her, there is no denying Miley Cyrus is proving to be the icon of her generation. The polarizing singer got her start on the popular Disney Channel hitHannah Montana, but it is evident she has come along way from her teeny-bopper days. To be fair, Cyrus had the odds against her from day one. As the offspring of long-forgotten country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley appeared to be just another fresh face riding on her parent’s coattails. She was another star who would long be forgotten over time, but she was not.

With a powerful combination of talent and dynamic personality, Cyrus went from sweet girl-next-door to outspoken feminist. She certainly was not the first and she certainly will no be the last. In some ways, it seems she is just another Madonna, Britney, or Lady Gaga. But in other ways, it is pretty clear Miley Cyrus is in a league of her own.  She is an artist true to who she is and does not really care what others think. She reminds young girls to achieve their dreams and to be the person they want to be, not who others think they should be.

Not everyone appreciates Cyrus’ artistic expressions. One editor for a British tween magazine claims the young singer is too raunchy for her readership. Bea Appleby, editor for Girl Talk magazine, recently said the publication would no longer cover controversial stars like Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Jessie J. Appleby admitted her magazine has not featured Cyrus in the magazine in a long time because the singer is oversexualized. Perhaps Appleby is right to a degree; Miley Cyrus is too old for that magazine’s particular demographic. She is no longer the teenage pop star she was when she first started. She is just another artist who found a way to express herself.

What makes Miley Cyrus the icon of her generation? She is a good representative of people her age. She is a free-thinker who is not afraid to speak her mind. Unlike some stars around her age, she keeps a good head on her shoulders and she keeps herself out of legal troubles. More importantly, Miley is not afraid to give. She has been involved in many different charities that include but are not limited to Amnesty International, Feeding America, Habitat for Humanity, and Youth Service America. She has a big following and a major influence.

Miley Cyrus is a cool girl, a smart business woman, and a talented singer. She is not going away anytime soon, and that is a good thing. She has a bright future ahead and it is safe to say fans can expect great things from Miley in the near future. Every generation has many different great icons, and though Miley Cyrus may not be the number one icon, but she still is in the lead. It is still early in her career, give it a few years and fans will likely see Miley getting into bigger projects.

Taylor Swift Disses Miley Cyrus Says No Need to Go Nude

Taylor Swift has come right out and called a “spade a spade;” the singer has dissed Miley Cyrus and says that she, Swift, has no need to go nude. Literally one day after Cyrus “bared all” in the American fashion magazine W Swift’s comments to Glamourmagazine, for their March issue, have been making headlines.

The 24 year-old philanthropic princess, who has been named the most generous “young” star two years running, said that she would not be taking her shirt off, and furthermore, she had no real desire to do so. So take that Cyrus. There may only be three years difference in the two singer’s ages, but, their images are world’s apart.

Both Swift and Cyrus come from country y’all and while the I Knew You Were Trouble singer willingly, and enthusiastically, acknowledges her country beginnings by not only returning to the genre that spawned her, a variation on the “dance with the guy what brung ya” philosophy but encouraging her old fans to continue to follow her while earning new fans in her cross-over music.

Cyrus, the offspring of Achy Breaky Heart country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, who is sadly better known for his real “achy breaky heart” marital problems. His on-again-off-again-on-again marriage to Miley’s mother garners more attention than his music. Unlike her dad, Miley did not want to stick to her country roots and after getting a start on Disney’s Hannah Montana, as the lead, she moved toward the genre of bubblegum pop…with an edge. This type of music seemed to be too much like her sickly sweet Hannah Montana character so she opted for more gritty almost trashy rock.

While Cyrus has been twerking her little behind off and showing enough skin to be offered the lead in any independent soft porn film, Swift has been acting like a lady. Class will always stand the test and Taylor topped the charts again last year with her million dollar gift to the Grand Ole Opry where she got her start. Swift knows full well that those good old boys and girls at the Opry supported her “way back when” and she’s grateful.

Taylor Swift tells Glamour that the only revealing that she is willing to do is by living her life through her music. Telling of her experiences and if the lyrics get a bit risky, so be it. She then seems to be dissing Miley Cyrus by saying that in her opinion her music is more revealing than if she took her shirt off. Something that Swift has said will not happen.

It is a relief, and a pleasure, to read an interview by another young star who doesn’t feel the need to litter her interview with f**k and s**t and relate how much they like weed and laying around the house watching their giant TV, yo. It could be said that Swift has it together more than Cyrus because of their age difference. However taking the time to look back at the All Too Well singer’s earlier years it would be very difficult to find any errant Cyrus-ish type behaviour.

Look at the “debt” that Taylor feels she owes the Grand Ole Opry folks; it almost makes fans of the singer feel proud of her attempt to give back to the institution. Cyrus on the other hand has done nothing but complain and put down the Disney “institution” that gave her that big break. Certainly the former children’s television star had it that bit tougher than Swift. Miley had to pretend to be that “nice girl” who would “never grow up” – or grow boobs as Miley bitterly complained in one interview – and there could be some room for empathy if not for the fact that Disney gave Cyrus her start.

Taylor Swift changed her genre almost effortlessly, moving easily from country music to rock/pop without missing a beat. Miley Cyrus has gone from bubblegum pop to Lord-knows-what. Tracy Lord wannabe, the next musical Jenna Jameson? Does anyone honestly care that Cyrus has feminists pulling their hair out by doing the very thing that they fought against. The simple answer is no. Swift apparently dissing Cyrus in her Glamour spread is just the philanthropic young star stating the obvious; there is no need to go nude…if you have enough talent. Just ask Taylor Swift.

Miley Cyrus Nude on Cover of W Magazine

Miley Cyrus has stripped naked again, appearing nude on the cover of March issue ofW magazine, with just a strategically placed white pillow to conceal her natural attributes. She also has bleached eyebrows. Miley has had them in past photo shoots, but who, really, is concentrating on her eyebrows when they look at this photo?

In the interview written by Ronan Farrow in W that goes with the cover, Miley Cyrus, 21, discusses many topics, like sexuality, style, how she feels about kids, and her opinion about the legalization of pot.

On the subject of fashion, for instance, Miley says that too many of the women or young girls she knows in the industry “seems like Vanna White.” She tells them that wearing makeup and having blond hair isn’t that important. She says it’s more important to have your own “personal style.”

In the interview, Miley Cyrus also says that three of the women who have inspired her are Joan Jett, Blondie, and Madonna, and she says that there are a lot of people that she knows and hangs out with, but mentions that she has “very few friends.”  

On the subject of the legalization of marijuana, Miley Cyrus is fairly clear that as long as it’s “organic, good weed” she’s up for that.

On her upcoming Bangerz tour, Miley Cyrus commented, obliquely referring back to the days when she played Hannah Montana, said that she’s “not Disney,” and that she’s not making any kind of statement.”

Miley has this to say to all of the haters out there, that “they’re just jealous of what you have.”

On relationships, Wrecking Ball singer Miley Cyrus said in the interview that she’s “not trying to jump into a relationship” and that music is taking over that particular role in her life right now. According to Miley, “that has become my other half – rather than another person.”

On the subject of children, Miley Cyrus said that she’s not a fan of them and doesn’t “love” them. She thinks that the reason might be because she had to be around so many kids when she worked on the Hannah Montana show. She also doesn’t like how she sees kids talking back to their parents, calling them “f—ing mean.”

Miley Cyrus has been, at various times in her career, both a darling of the media and the object of intense criticism. She’s masterfully used the media to ensure that, love her or hate her, the public will read about her and make her even richer than she already is, propelling her albums to the top of the charts.

Already, at this stage of Miley’s young career, she says in the interview that she doesn’t really care what the critics say, because “I’ve made my money.” She aspires to be like Dolly Parton, still being involved in the music industry at the age of 75, just doing it because she loves to do it.

Miley Cyrus is nude on the cover of W magazine, but she seems to be suggesting in the interview within that it’s no longer because of the need to get her name and music noticed. She’s been there and done that. She states in the interview that “If no one buys my album, cool.”

Like that’s going to happen. Miley Cyrus may have gotten at least some of her fans because of her VMA performance, twerking onstage with Robin Thicke. She may have gotten some doing things like singing onstage with little people, or CGI images of cute alien kittens who sing along with her. But, she’s kept the fans she has and gained more because of she’s a talented singer who has come up with some very catchy lyrics. Miley Cyrus will likely be around for a long time to come, still churning out hit songs years from now.

Miley Cyrus One Bad B*tch

It has now been 36 days since Miley Cyrus shocked the world with her performance on the MTV Video Music Awards. Looking back on her performance, Cyrus has said that she intended to “make history” with her live routine. She also said that she can now show the world that she is “one bad b*tch.” It seems that Miley has accomplished both of these goals.

Considering that it has been well over a month since the VMA number and the 20 year-old singer is still the hottest thing on the internet in terms of trending, she did more than just succeed. The former Hannah Montana has insured that between her MTV controversy and her nude appearance in the music video for Wrecking Ball she’s what everyone is talking about.

Miley reveals her agenda in the MTV documentary, Miley: The Movement, that will be airing on October 2. The program shows just how focussed she is on reshaping her career after her time as the Disney princess Hannah Montana ended. She also shows admirable shrewdness and is progressing full speed on killing off her goody-two-shoes image.

The Wrecking Ball singer talks about her VMA performance and says that it was a strategic move that was also a “hot mess.” She confesses that her routine was set up to expand the “boundaries” as well as make history.

She went on to explain that she had done nothing that had not been done before. She speaks about Britney Spears pushing the boundaries with her infamous kiss with Madonna on the MTV VMA ten years ago. Cyrus wanted the show to be memorable and she has succeeded.

In the documentary Miley Cyrus says that now she can finally be “the bad bitch” that she really is.

Like Spears did before her, Miley is making that transition from child performer to adult at this stage in her career. She started with “punking up” her image. Short hair, tattoos, and goth type clothing. Getting rid of her Hannah Montana locks seemed to be the first step in her move to leave all things Disney behind her.

Miley’s posing topless, appearing naked except for a wrecking ball and tennis shoes in her last video, and focussing on her sexuality are all moves made with one goal in mind. She is killing Hannah Montana and forging her way as an adult entertainer.

She does say, however, that her performance on the Video Music Awards was not all about sex. As she puts it, if she wanted to do a “raunchy sex show,” she would not have come out dressed as a teddy bear. Although, she did ditch her “teddy outfit” very quickly for her flesh colored two piece outfit. Which is actually a good thing. A teddy wearing singer playing clutching her crotch with a giant foam finger would have been very disturbing.

Her latest album, which is due to be released on October 8 this year, has not gotten rave reviews thus far. We Can’t Stop and Wrecking Ball have done very well with her fans, but the rest of the tracks on the album have been described as “uneven” and mediocre. The album has been given two out of four stars and iTunes is streaming it already, opting not to wait for October 8.

Miley Cyrus explains that she is very comfortable with her sexuality and that she is relieved that she can “be herself” instead of acting like something she isn’t. Hannah Montana fans take note, this former Disney princess says that she’s happy to “be the bad bitch” she is and that is one thing that will not be changing.

Miley Cyrus Confesses to the Murder of Hannah Montana

It has been pointed out that Miley Cyrus actually confessed to murder when she hosted Saturday Night Live. And not just any murder either, she confessed during her opening monologue for the show. The singer said of her former persona, “She was murdered.”

It may be a bit of a stretch to say that the 20 year-old performer was actually confessing to the murder of her squeaky clean Disney character, but not too much. The actress/singer has been single mindedly destroying any vestiges of Montana that could have remained after the show finished in January 2011.

That she had come to hate the character that had propelled her into stardom was evident in interviews given at the time. At one, she actually spoke of burning the Hannah Montana wig because she couldn’t bear the thought of putting it on again.

Once her contractual obligations with Disney were through, she took a little time to focus on her acting and then she focussed on changing her singing career and her image. Though she stayed fairly pop oriented with her first singles, it was We Can’t Stop that signaled her departure from anything that could be remotely seen as Disneyesque.

It is her latest album, Bangerz, that has sped up the change in her musical focus as well as her image change. In between the release of her We Can’t Stop music video and the upload to Vimeo of Wrecking Ball, Miley gave her history making performance on the MTV Video Music Awards. Her twerking controversial number drove parents to their phones and Twitter to complain that Hannah Montana was out of control.

But Miley Cyrus was murdering Hannah Montana, she even confessed to it. Even before the SNL hosting event, she had been telling everyone that she was through with the sickly sweet Disney invention that shot her to stardom. Cyrus was ready to grow up, damn it! She was tired of mother’s who wrote into the the show to complain that Hannah suddenly had boobs.

While Miley has been determinedly smashing the Montana out of her system, which to be fair was never a part of Cyrus the actor, she has been revelling in her “newfound” sexuality. Wearing little clothing as possible at photoshoots; being provocative; getting engaged and then breaking said engagement and keeping the ring were all a part of it. She also starting showing a lot of skin.

Her near nudity, to be fair she was not completely nude she was wearing tennis shoes and a huge wrecking ball, in the music video for Wrecking Ball shot her into the number one slot on Billboard with a testosterone and hormone fueled bullet. Cyrus showed the world via her music videos that she was game for sex with anyone and her fans responded accordingly.

As was aptly put by Forbes.com, Miley’s older fans – who were all too enamoured of the pristine Hannah Montana to make the switch – were outraged at her new image. These same fans have stated that their children would not be allowed to follow the singer’s tweets, music, or anything else that she did. Which, as Forbes.com put it, was precisely the point.

Miley has the unenviable position of having to grow up in the public eye. Like Canadian popstar Justin Bieber, who is only a year behind Miley in the age department, every single thing that either of them do is blown completely out of proportion. Bieber speeds, like a lot of teenage boys do, and it gets made to seem like he deliberately tried to mow down his neighbors kids.

Cyrus gives a live performance that is calculated to shock and be memorable and she is vilified and if a lot of parents had their way, would be tarred and feathered. Like any pop singer, the former Disney girl is making a transition in her career. It is a normal process gone through if an entertainer wants to have any sort of longevity in their chosen profession.

Granted, the young performer does come across as quite shallow, brash, and uncaring. Looking at the tweets she sent to Sinead O’Connor after a well-meaning, and somewhat misguided, open letter that the Irish performer sent to Miley via her Facebook page shows just how little empathy the younger singer has.

But, again, she is in the stages of growing up. And to paraphrase Neil Sedaka very badly, it is hard to do. All the more so if you live in the spotlight. Miley Cyrus can jokingly confess to murdering Hannah Montana but seriously? It was the only way that the girl would be allowed to let go of her Disney beginnings and move on. So yes, Hannah Montana is dead, killed by her alter ego. Long live Miley Cyrus, may she continue to grow and transition as a performer.

Miley Cyrus Can’t Stop Banging Down Boundaries

Miley Cyrus can’t stop banging down boundaries in her pursuit of increased celebrity and popularity. Boldly shedding the “family friendly” Disney image she cultivated as Hannah Montana, Cyrus has embarked on an increasingly brazen and outspoken campaign to redefine herself. While issue can certainly be taken with the tactics of Cyrus and her handlers, its effectiveness cannot be questioned. She was already immensely popular as a Disney associated performer, but her success since leaving Disney has only increased. Hardly a day goes by when Miley Cyrus is not on the lips of the entertainment media or in the tweets of her social media followers. But when and how did this process begin?

It may be hard to believe, but Cyrus’ recent behavior is not a new phenomenon. In 2008, when she was only 15 years old, Cyrus participated in a racy, topless photo shoot that also included her own father. This was followed by a series of controversial tweets which included pictures of Cyrus in racially insensitive poses and various states of undress. Much of this could be attributed to the same kind of youth experimentation that many young people go through, albeit not with the kind of exposure a celebrity like Miley Cyrus commands. Maybe it was just a case of a kid being a kid. But the summer of 2010 clearly defined Cyrus’ new course and her determination to leave Disney behind.

June 2010 saw the release of Cyrus’ Can’t Be Tamed single and the associated video. In it, Cyrus is depicted as escaping from a cage. In interviews surrounding its release, she explained that she is simply trying to “be me.” Cyrus did make an effort not to totally alienate her former audience, adding that she was still the same person she was when she played Hannah Montana, but it is difficult to imagine Miss Montana hanging from stripper poles like Miley did at the Teen Choice Awards the previous year. By now, it had become clear that Miley Cyrus can’t stop banging down boundaries in the pursuit of increased celebrity and popularity.

In this context, her recent obsession with twerking and Robin Thicke’s rear end do not look quite so surprising anymore. It takes quite a bit to upstage a performer such as Lady Gaga, but Miley Cyrus’ recent VMA performance is still being talked about months later. It certainly blurred lines in terms of what is acceptable in a television performance. Foam fingers and teddy bears the world over may still be attempting to recover from the “trauma” of how Cyrus choose to use them. In fact, it may go down as the most famous (or infamous) performance in the controversial MTV show’s history, even surpassing the kiss shared between Britney Spears and Madonna in 2003.

But all this begs the question of what is done in the pursuit of fame. Would Miley Cyrus be as successful as she is today if she had remained Hannah Montana? Or if not that specific character, at least remained a “family friendly” sort of performer? Was her embrace of sex and shock necessary in order to gain the level of celebrity that she has currently achieved? Cyrus and those associated with her seemed to reach the conclusion that such a reinvention was indeed necessary, although if Cyrus herself is to be believed, it was not so much a reinvention as it was taking a wrecking ball to a character that did not represent her to begin with.

It is hard to dispute the success Cyrus has achieved with her new, raunchy persona. And the controversy she generates only serves to enhance her status even more. Every performance, picture, and statement by Cyrus generates a wide spectrum of responses from sharp condemnation to glowing acceptance. Regardless of how positive or negative they are, they all generate more attention for Cyrus. In this age of “instant media,” it can almost truly be said that there is no such thing as “bad publicity.” Every tweet, every Facebook posting, every celebrity blog article, whether they be good or bad, draws more attention to the person in question. Miley Cyrus is proving to be a master of this new reality, and that is why she can’t stop banging down boundaries in search of more celebrity and popularity.

Miley Cyrus Video Contributes to Pornification of American Culture?

Miley Cyrus has released the video for her third single, Adore You, off her album,Bangerz, and the general response has continued to be one that places the onus the pornification of American culture directly on Cyrus’ shoulders. The video sports a scantily clad Cyrus between the sheets and in a bathtub, so caught up in the throes of passion that she can barely be bothered to lip sync to the song. She writhes and bites and touches herself while staring steamily into the camera.

But this display of raunchy sexuality is merely the latest in a long line of outrageous behavior that has garnered Cyrus ample attention this year. From her performance at the VMAs to her naked appearance in her video for Wrecking Ball, or her very public drug use and her excessive tongue antics, Cyrus has given many people many reasons to cry foul. Among the most noteworthy of these backlashes has been the open letter from Sinead O’Connor in which she repeatedly admonished Cyrus for prostituting herself for the sake of profit and fame.

The reactions to Cyrus’ career choices have been swift, loud and incredibly contradictory and her latest video proves to be no exception. The nearly vitriolic slut shaming that has dominated media coverage of her the last year stands in stark contrast to the record breaking sales of her album. The video for Adore You alone has gotten over 4.5 million views since its release on December 26.

The fact that Cyrus’ behavior receives so much attention for being over the line yet continues to grant her practically unlimited success speaks to a serious issue surrounding the objectification of women in America. It is not just that Miley Cyrus is using her body in a way that contributes to the pornification of American culture; it is that American culture has become so saturated with objectified women that it has become nearly impossible for women to get ahead without having to rely on manipulating this constricting system.

Take for instance, Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You video, which was remade this Christmas as a duet with Justin Bieber. The new video features a fully clothed Bieber gawking openly at a far less clothed Carey while she poses sexily against a wall. She winks at him provocatively before beginning to shimmy and pout to the music. As she peeks suggestively over her shoulder in poses that tease a potential up-skirt shot while rubbing herself, the scene alternates between her and Santa handing out coupons to children on the street. Yet, Cyrus draws fire for her antics while Carey’s video inspires little reaction.

That is not to say that there is not a difference between teaser up-skirt shots and blatantly sticking one’s hand down one’s panties while being visibly aroused. The point is merely that with the level of acceptable sexuality permeating American media and entertainment outlets, there is very little room left for “pushing the envelope.” If it is not shocking to be half naked and openly ogled, then what is left for Cyrus to do to gain attention and stand out from the pack? If getting attention is limited to bared flesh and overt sexuality, there are few options left for exploitation other than shocking people into taking notice and there are few shocking avenues left as people become more desensitized to the pornigraphic portrayal of women.

The pornification of American culture has occurred without Miley Cyrus to help it and while she may have chosen to express her sexuality as part of her career anyway, the fact that her considerable talents are not enough to ensure her success surely contributes to her behavior. She is a product of a problem that has already been well established, as evidenced by the hoards of barely dressed women that saturate movies, music, magazines and television.

Miley Cyrus Continues Outrageous Behavior

There is no denying that the Culture and Media Institute’s 2011 Role Model of the Year and former Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus burst out of her sweet schoolgirl shell, and seemingly grew up overnight…in a big way!  While Cyrus continually serves up wild, outrageous, questionable behavior, fans, critics, and naysayers continue to eat it up time after time.  As her wild moments add up and continue to make headlines, her publicity soars, and there is no end in sight.  We should have seen this coming with her 2009 pole dance at the Teen Choice Awards. 

Cyrus’ track record of wild behavior most recently involves nudity, something that she is very well-known for.  A leaked photo from her Adore You remix cover shows her topless on a horse, sporting only a thong.  She has also appeared topless in a photo that she posted on her Twitter page in support of the “Free the Nipple” film, inVogue Germany magazine, W magazine, the cover of Rolling Stone, and completely nude in her notorious Wrecking Ball video. 

Cyrus is no stranger to being seen scantily clad in performances, photos, and generally in her day-to-day wear.  Remember the Michael Jordan jersey, and nipple pasties at the iHeart Radio Fest?  She recently missed a costume change during a performance and was forced to go on stage in her “undies,” but the sexy outfit was only missing a pair of chaps that she normally wears with it.  She is no stranger to displaying her nudity, obviously not shy about her body, and is willing to show it off whenever the need strikes, reveling in the publicity and general praise that it creates from her fans.

Continually adding to her track record of outrageous behaviors and her affinity for smoking weed, Cyrus hit the stage in Canada on March 31 wearing a rhinestone studded leotard covered in marijuana leaves.  Then she posted a video on Instagram of her cursing fellow singer and Canadian Avril Lavigne, and play-fighting over the country’s “most famous” title.  In the video, she wears a onesie with a large marijuana leaf on the front of it.

Cyrus’ pot smoking and love for the drug has never been a big secret, but even Wiz Khalifa was shocked at the amount of marijuana that she smokes.  “She smokes a ton” and “she’s just blowin’ like a train” he said during an interview with Arsenio Hall on March 31.  Cyrus has also said for herself “Weed is the best drug on earth.” 

She credits growing up as the reason for her wild ways.  Twenty-one-year-olds are still figuring life out, and are expected to act out, party, and be wild, right? 

One thing is certain, we won’t soon forget the crazy antics of this popular young star, or her numerous “tongue photos.”  Her foam finger, and twerking on Robin Thicke during their MTV Video Music Awards performance to “Blurred Lines” will forever be emblazoned on the minds of people young and old, far and wide.  No matter what, people love Miley Cyrus, or love to hate her, and continue to jump at the opportunity to see her behaving in her crazy, outrageous ways

Miley Cyrus Rapping and Smoking in ’23′ [Video]

From twerking with Thicke to rapping with Mike WiLL Made-It, Miley Cyrus is looking to gain notoriety as a cross-genre singer. Now, she is stepping into the rap battlefield, starring in Mike’s new video called 23. The video is an honor (supposedly) to NBA legendary mackdaddy, Michael Jordan. In the video, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J. make appearances but all eyes were on Cyrus and her 23 emblazoned two-piece. In lieu of her entrance from a bathroom stall, Cyrus sashays to a mirror, a cigarette from her mouth as she scribbles 23 in red lipstick. Excited to see it?

Cyrus is loving her ability for skin exposure. She is featured on the newest cover of Rolling Stone’s October issue. Emerging from the pool, her hair is slicked back, eyeliner smeared as she offers her droplet spotted shoulder a lick. The cover comes on the tail-end of her latest album Wrecking Ball. Credit is given to where credit is due, Cyrus is creating a media ruckus and everyone is talking about her. May it be from twerking, teddy bears and her tongue – she is singing all of the way to the bank.

Rumors started surfacing that Cyrus and Mike have connected on a romantic level, especially after former fiance Liam Hemsworth was caught kissing Latina beauty, Eiza Gonzalez. Now with the release of 23 Cyrus is proving she can rap with the big boys. The jury of review is still out on her smoking in a high-school environment in the video.

Cyrus loves creating controversy. Consider her appearance on the VMA awards; there she strutted on stage clad in a teddy-bear inspired costume. Dancing around her were teddy bears. Many found the act distasteful as it seemed to be blend childhood with sexuality. Or, it could have been Cyrus’ way to show everyone she was shedding her good-girl image. Ripping her costume off revealed an itty bitty, super-tight nude colored two-piece. More than Cyrus’ tongue was wagging when she was twerking with married R&B star Robin Thicke.

Then the songstress appeared in her Wrecking Ball video nude (except those boots), riding a wrecking ball. The song preludes to a relationship gone wrong. The public can now understand Cyrus is no longer the sweet Hannah Montana and has not just turned a page, but created a brand new trilogy. Her changes from her P!nk inspired ‘do, to getting frisky on a musical stage leads many to wonder if Hemsworth bowed out following the new changes in his lady.

Sure, this can be another article trashing Cyrus. But, it is not and why? Consider the information as revealed to the public. Sure Cyrus is acting raunchy and using questionable props, but she has not suffered a Lindsay Lohan break-down, she has not been boy crazy like Taylor Swift, nor has she gone crazy with an umbrella, Britney style. For the most part she is going through a coming of age revelation in her life.

It seems Mike and other rappers are enjoying the changes and asking her to represent their brand in a music video. In addition, she is the in demand face and body to be featured on magazine covers like Rolling Stone. Love her or hate her, Cyrus is making her mark in the music industry and across the globe. What are your thoughts on the newest music video 23 featuring Miley Cyrus smoking, rapping and that two-piece?

Miley Cyrus Riding Her Wrecking Ball Into New Romance with Mike Will Made It

Liam Hemsworth may be breaking records with the speed that he is moving on after splitting up with his ex Miley Cyrus, but she is right behind him and setting up a new man in her life. She is riding her Wrecking Ball into a new romance with Mike Will Made It, aka Mike Will.

While Hemsworth’s been photographed with 23 year-old Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez, Miley has been snapped hanging out with Mike Will Made It, real name Michael Len Williams II. Last weekend, Liam and Eiza spent the weekend getting to know each other that little bit better. They were lounging around Hemsworth’s Vegas crib and pretty much staying out of the way of the paparazzi.

When they returned to Beverly Hills after their romantic weekend in Las Vegas, the couple got up close and personal outside of Eiza’s home. The paparazzi snapped the two sharing a romantic kiss and the couple appeared to be very into each other. Eiza approached Liam and the two exhibited their own, somewhat tame by Miley Cyrus standards, public display of affection and locked lips in front of the apartment.

Even though neither Liam nor Eiza were courting publicity, the media made the most of their being together and a lot of folks felt pretty sorry for Miley.

But Miley wasn’t crying into her cornflakes about Liam’s new flame. She was too busy riding her Wrecking Ball into a new romance with record producer Mike Will Made It. It wasn’t a surprise move, as the performer has been working with Mike on her Bangerz album. National Enquirer and Star Magazine have reported that the two have been an item for a while now.

Miley has been going out with Mike since the MTV VMA show on August 25 when the two were snapped together on the red carpet at the event. So while Hemsworth was packing and moving out, Miley and Mike were flirting for the camera on the way into the MTV spectacular. It wasn’t just the paparazzi that were taking pictures of the couple, the record producer was posting Instagram pictures up on the internet as well. Star magazine reports that the two have been an item for some time and that “everyone” knows it.

Presumably while Liam was seeking solace from January Jones during his tumultuous engagement with Miley, she was solace seeking with Mike Will Made It.

Even with the news that the couple really have been leading separate lives and that their relationship was in trouble long before the official announcement, it looks like both Liam and Miley were drifting. If the stories are true.

The fact is that anything that may or may not have happened with January Jones is pure speculation. While Miley has been working with Mike Will Made It since Bangerz and his single 23 which was a collaborative effort with Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J as well as the 20 year-old singer. The single, from Mike’s new album, dropped on September 9.

The former Hannah Montana “Disney Princess” got to keep the $250,000 engagement ring after Liam told his ex she could keep it as a reminder of their love. Whether Miley views the ring as a keepsake or just an expensive pice of jewellery will be up to her. But she can certainly afford to buy a replacement with the coin she’s dragging in from her Wrecking Ball downloads. Besides breaking Vevo records, it holds the number one spot in the Billboard charts this week.

Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus have quickly caught themselves rebound replacements. Although things may be slightly in Miley’s favor since music producer Mike can be very useful on upcoming projects. It looks like Miley has ridden thatWrecking Ball into a new romance with Mike Will Made It. And she didn’t have to bash down any walls to do it.
