I have to admit that Miley Cyrus’ new little devil-horned hairdo is steadily growing on me, but damn, this Miley news stream (much like Miley) just won’t stop. In fact, there’s a bit of crossover with today’s Justin Bieber post, so if you’re curious about the Miley-Bieb duet called (get ready for it) “Twerk,” go to that post to listen to the song in all of its awful glory.
Meanwhile, people are still bagging on Miley for a VMA performance in which she stripped to a bra and (too-small) panties and set about gyrating with a bunch of stuffed bears and a stiff (no pun intended) Robin Thicke. Yesterday, we talked about how parent associations were all upset, and now it seems that the Teddy Bear Fund is calling Miley out too. According to TMZ, the organization stated, “Miley made a poor choice to use a universally loved children’s teddy bear in an offensive way. There is always good art and bad art — unfortunately … this was bad art.” Seriously.
Miley’s stunts are paying off because Billboard is predicting a week of strong single sales following the ass flash seen ’round the world.
Oh, and Miley is actually in the process of recording with Kanye West on a remix of “Black Skinhead.” Kanye has jumped aboard the Miley train along with Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J, who have collaborated with Miley on the new Mike Will Made It single, “23.” A clip of the song leaked yesterday, but it keeps getting yanked off YouTube. (The Mail has posted a few seconds of audio featuring Miley very awkwardly rapping.) Some of the lyrics of the song include the following: “I’m in the club high on Perc with some shades on / Tank up, mini skirt with some J’s on / I be in the club standing on the couch / In the wolf greys like it’s my house.” Just wait — Miley will soon claim that she’s not saying “Perc” at all. She’s just saying her own name again, and we’re too thick to figure that out.
If there was any doubt at all about that silly report about Miley’s team allegedly freaking out, manager Larry Rudolph would like to clear up that rumor. Rudolph says that Miley’s performance went exactly as she planned for it to happen. No word on whether or not she pulled a fast one on Robin Thicke or not, but Miley is entirely pleased with both the act and the ongoing reaction:
Cyrus, 20, had been working on the VMAs performance of her hit “We Can’t Stop” – along with her racy duet with Robin Thicke – for about a month before MTV’s big awards show on Sunday.
“Most it came from Miley’s brain,” Cyrus’s manager Larry Rudolph tells PEOPLE. “But she collaborated with [her music video director] Diane Martel, who helped her conceive it and bring in the spirit of the VMAs. And with Todd James who designed all of those amazing bears.”
Though her skimpy, flesh-colored outfit, her suggestive use of a foam finger and close contact with Thicke, 36, were panned on social media, not everyone is criticizing Cyrus’s jaw-dropping performance.
So what does Cyrus, whose new record will be released Oct 8., think about the world’s reaction? “She couldn’t have been happier about the performance,” says Rudolph.
“MTV and Miley knew exactly what they were doing,” adds a source close to Cyrus, whose team wasn’t alarmed by the performance. “No one is freaking out.”
In fact, “We were all cheering from the side of the stage,” Rudolph says of Cyrus’s inner circle, which included her mom Tish. “It could not have gone better. The fans all got it. The rest eventually will.”
[From People]
Somehow, I am not surprised at all that Tish Cyrus was actively cheering at Miley’s onstage antics. Tish never criticizes Miley at all, and I can’t help but think she just doesn’t want to make any waves since Miley is the source of most of the family income.
Throughout all of this, a lingering question involves Liam Hemsworth’s thoughts regarding his girlfriend grinding her bum against Robin Thicke’s crotch. Hollywood Life claims to have an exclusive that Liam and Miley are still fighting like crazy, and Liam just can’t get why Miley is being so aggressively sexual in public. Oh, Liam. It’s Miley’s mouth, and she can say/do/twerk what she wants to.
Here’s a picture of Miley with Mike Will Made It, who has described Miley as “the new Madonna.” Right.

I do wish she’d put that tongue away.
Me too! It much be like magnet towards men’s faces or something. Or it’s trying to escape bad breath lol.
Has anyone read what Hayley Williams has said about all of this? She doesn’t dog Miley for being sexy or risqué, but for trying to hard to be part of black culture and all ‘hip hop’ and how it’s offensive. I think it’s a great statement. I’m biased though because I adore Paramores newest CD
Love Hailey, I´m slightly annoyed by her antics, but it is the appropriation of black culture and more so the fetishization of black women, she threats her black dancers and her gay friends as accessoires that I find offensive.
She also seems to have a lot of black collaborators who are selling themselves out and giving her a “hood pass”.
ITA. I can’t spare the energy to hate and even though her antics are beyond annoying what annoys me most are all the artists (black and white, but most especially black) that are going out of their way to collab with her.
I realize you don’t have to be a good singer to be a good artist but Miley is neither, especially not for the style of music she’s delving into now a days. I can put up with a lot if the artist has the skill to back it up.
The worst part though is that Miley wanted to shed her “good girl wholesome” image by moving to this new extreme but because she co-opted black culture on her mission of misdirection, a lot of people her conflating her ratchet behaviour with black culture.
I hear a lot of people say “Miley is trying to be black”…um no, Miley’s trying to be trashy. That she uses black people as accessories to impart some kind of urban/street cred and that she considers black people/culture as the opposite end of wholesome says more about her than the slutatstic clothes she wears to parade her silly putty ass around town.
she clearly knows how much people dislike seeing it and, being the immature attention-grabbing skank that she is, she’ll now do it in every picture because the “haters” have commented on how much they hate it.
like a little brother that keeps poking you because you tell him to stop.
regarding the “fans get it” attitude…color me thrilled that I’m not a “fan”…
EXACTLY! None of her antics truly bother me but the tongue is gross.
Great, now she’s doing a wink with it to really emphasize the stroke victim look.
what’s with that tongue constantly out??? please put that thing away, it’s not attractive
She probably did what she did at the VMAs because she knew that Liam (and her dad) would hate it.
Yep. She is just that bratty.
Supposedly her dad supported it. The man has no spine.
@Jane: He has neither publicly supported it nor condemned it. He has remained silent. So far.
First pic: BITE, Miley, BITE! You can do it!! 😀
Ms. Miley Cow Tongue at your service.
I wish she’d go away, period.
+1
“The rest eventually will”: the summation of an entitlement attitude.
Yeah, like she’s doing something that’s avant-garde and break-through that the public just can’t “get”.
I wish some one would get her fixed. So sick of watching her run around dryhumpping stuffed animals and furniture with her tounge hanging out like an over bread retriever. Just yuck.
It was so unattractive, the waving of that white, furry tongue around. She got what she wanted though, lots of attention since people are still talking about the VMA’s.
I guess the only thing left to push the envelope is full nudity and sex on stage. Only so much left now.
@Jennifer12- who’d thought a couple of months ago when we were getting shat upon for calling this girl out on all her BS, it would only get way worse?
I really wish someone would shorten her tongue permanently, it´s SO annoying!
When I was little a neighbor kid ran into a tree while riding his bike and bit off some of the end of his tongue. I’m hoping Miley still rides that bike we used to see her on and a similar fate finds her!! 😉
Sure, sure. I still would rather that some of the young women inventing new fuel sources, or developing greener, safer engineering techniques or fighting for education for all women were ANYWHERE in the media. I don’t care, in the superficial sense, about Miley’s dirty dancing. I care that this is what inundates the media, and what young women think they have to do to be empowered. Also, white coated tongues are a sign of gross things. PUT IT AWAY. You can leave your boobs out I guess, they’re nice.
+1 I’d like to see women be more than sex objects for once. Something that the rest can aspire too
Except she’s not even being sexy with this behavior. She may think she is, but can I please get a poll of who exactly was turned on by that circus routine?
This x1000
Miley Cyrus is no role model and it pisses me off that attention whores like her get all the press while women and girls making the world a better place get zero press whatsoever.
But that’s our modern-day media for you. And I’m just as guilty of it as anyone else because I am sitting here typing a comment about it.
So what you’re saying is that young women are so stupid they will want to imitate Miley? I guess you don’t think much of young women
Don’t be naive, of course young women will emulate her, she is young and super rich and can do whatever the hell she pleases, were you never 16?
“It could not have gone better. The fans all got it. The rest eventually will.”
Come now – with singing in tune and dancing in rhythm it probably could have done!
This is not Britney Spears and not Madonna. Even Madonna was more tasteful. Miley just wants to rebel against something. Sad that she thinks it would be liberating for her to show her naked body to the world.
And grind her butt against a married man’s groin on stage while licking his neck at the end of it. She’s so gross. Rebellion is an understatement.
“The rest” did get it. She’s acting out. Stomping and flailing around trying to show us that she’s grown now. She doesn’t know of any other way to do it. It’s sad really that she doesn’t see what an embarassment that was. Hopefully, someday she will get it.
She’s a delusional fool. Nobody “got it” because “it” sucked. Who the hell does that to teddy bears? What is the message when you combine children’s toys and blatant sexuality? She really needs someone else to make creative decisions for her because hers are terrible and she seems really deeply untalented.
Miley and her phallic symbol tongue.
It’s pitiful that she thinks this is edgy and “ratchet”.
+10000000
I absolutely loathe “ratchet.” I wish that word would disappear from Miley’s (and just about everyone else’s) vocabulary.
+1,000,000,000
I never even heard the word until it got used in relation to Tongue Monster. I still don’t quite get what it means and I don’t think I care.
I didn’t know what ‘ratchet’ means, so i made some research
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ratchet
Nice to know that someone actually knows that when people say she’s “ratchet” it’s not a compliment.
@HK9
Now that i know the meaning i can totally see that she is a ratchet girl. and it’s not a compliment.
Ratchet is a term used by a comedic you tube star that has a song describing a certain kind of girl it is really funny and very popular in the urban community which because of its humor and truth was embraced and kinda turned from a negative to a positive. You would never get it it if your’e not a part of the hip hop / urban community and if you have to look it up in an urban dictionary you could never “Get it” What Miley did was sorta genius, she will NEVER be mistaken for Hannah Montana ever again which was obviously the point. She’s a rock star now and the kids love her rebellious FU attitude. So you all may have to get over it. Like or hate she’s the new Elvis everything to piss off parents and perpetuate teenage angst. ONLY it’s the new millennium information generation. No shame involved.
@godlesslove …ahh I see now. Miley’s demographic. I don’t think ratchet has turned into a strictly positive term love.
@goddesslove
Comparing Miley Cyrus to Elvis is too much even for a gossip site. She’ll be lucky enough if she’ll stay relevant for other 6 months.
I was in no way implying that Miley was Elvis’ caliber. The implication was that parents were equally outraged at his vulgarity and self expression. I didn’t particularly like her performance either but I do understand being a 20 year old trying to break out of a Disney Shell. I don’t join witch hunts. Sorry. If you think she’ll be gone in 6 months your not paying attention. She’s a superstar she was tweeted about atleast 9 million times in one day. #truthpeoplewanttoknowwhathercrazyasswilldonext
@bijlee Its obvious that ratchet is not a totally positive but I do hear young people speaking proudly of being ratchet on rap songs and in my neighborhood in Oakland California. The urban dictionary will have this info in about 6 months Lol
@Pao La – Lol! You gotta love the Urban Dictionary… They even include a definition covering ‘Ratchet’, a member of ‘Optimus Prime’s’ team on the Transformers xD!
Miley is no Elvis and there is a huge difference between the impact of his pelvis shaking and her unforgettable and disastrous “I’m a grown-up” debut. Miley was successful at Disney but she’s going nowhere being an obnoxious tongue wagging show-off. She needs to show some actual talent or her has-been status will be a full time gig.
@goddesslove – I’ve heard this argument a lot, that its kind of a progressive “pushing of boundaries” that elvis, madonna, britney spears etc. have all indulged in. I get the theory, but here’s the thing: by that logic a few years from now people will be performing real, disgusting sex acts saying “look how edgy miley cyrus was, how much *hit she got and that was nothing. ” the pendulum can swing too far, at some point it is too much. I don’t want to live in a world where people are so desensitized to sex or violence or racism or whatever (I get with miley we’re only touching a few of those topics, but this is the evolution of our culture) that nothing is off limits. When is it too much? Where is the line? As long as miley has supporters someone will want to top her to be more controversial and so on. I’m not some ultra conservative (hell I work as a couselor at a syringe exchange and with sex workers) but I think its time people really think about what these stunts mean in terms of where we as fans or viewers are willing to go.
Like they say, bad publicity is better than no publicity, but that stunt was awful.
Please, please, please censor her tongue. blur it, put some black strip on it, photoshop it out. I can’t stand it any more, it’s absolutely gross. and it’s almost impossible to surf the net without seeing it everywhere
Oh yes please! It’s everywhere and I’m sick of it…. So not sexy although who knows, maybe deep down inside I’m just sad and jealous of her… – NOT!
@Mon – I’m sure that’s what she has been trying to convince herself… We all just ‘haterz‘ who are ‘jelus‘ of her ‘swag‘…We just don’t have the ‘ballz‘ to be ourselves like she does.
****I know you all surely realize this, but all the misspellings were meant entirely to mimic how I’m sure SHE thinks/uses the words. It was almost physically painful to write like that. xD
NO! Don’t destroy the one Kayne song I can actually listen to!!!
I had one of my best turbo trainer sessions with Black Skinhead pumping through my earphones, keep your chipmunky stank away from it!
Yeah it’s a great song for running
ok… I’m going to embrace this because it’s inevitable. A sick twisted part of me wants to see a Miley Biebs hookup… It’d be the Jyrus Virus..
Imagine the drama! It’d put all other shenanigans in the shadows… I don’t think even the Cracken couldn’t compete!
I don’t think any of them would consider the other Cool enough to be with. Shitty behaviors come with the most humongous ego
Miley and Beibs, I can get behind that, the immaturity of it all would be great for gossip.
As for Liam, with the way she was acting on stage (even though it was an act) they’re not together anymore.
Apparently Page Six has weighed in http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/hemsworth_shocked_by_cyrus_vma_performance_h2MPh5hjvnFtlrf4C3vEZO
@anna
I wish I was a fly on the wall of Liam’s mother when she saw Miley’s performance.
Lol at the Page 6 story…this Miley is not what he “signed up for” indeed. Her antics actually make his brother’s wife seem refreshingly low key!
That twerk song is my Hell. I’m living my Hell.
I actually wonder if Liam’s non-committal, cheating ways were not what SHE signed up for, and this performance was one big FU LIAM message.
“Jyrus Virus”
That’s a great name for a band
Off topic – but how tall is miley? She’s got the longest fingers I’ve ever seen! Even her thumb is long
Prissa — I noticed that too
Well that explains why her tongue is so long too!
Well, desperate people don’t really seem to care what sort of attention they get as long as they get some…. She is a prime example. Whoever directs/approves her moves surely is not her friend.
And she had worked on that poor performance for a month?! Unbelievable….
I could sing that song and move my ass without any reharsal at all. and i’d still be much better than that. and i’m tone-deaf believe me
According to her manager, we just don’t get it. Which is what people ALWAYS say when something sucks.
And Miley seems to be saying it a lot lately.
Run Liam. Run. She is a skank. A skank with a long scary tongue. No actor that wants to be respected in the film industry would ever go out with THAT. she’ll regret all these lame behaviors in a few years, but maybe then she won’t be relevant anymore. at least i hope.
Isn’t nice how Miley, her team and MTV have totally brushed aside the (very valid) accusations of racism, and are only focusing on the sex side of the hype.
I want to give you a fu*king standing ovation. The cultural appropriation is very real and the black people on the stage were just accessories to her.
Agreed. But they participated, didn’t they?
The bit where she played with the one woman’s huge behind was particularly insulting and demeaning. I mean yeah, they both participated and are willing adults, but it still smacked (no pun intended!) of superiority. Left a very bad taste in my mouth, more so than the other stuff.
And Kanye, J, & Wiz too…disappointing!
Well of course. They have nothing to say to make what she’s doing seem okay. So they just ignore it. I really can’t believe all the people co-signing her bullshit. I get some of them are trying to go more mainstream and make more money, but ughhh.
I wish she would put the tongue away….we get it ok?
Other than that, I can’t understand why everyone is making a big deal out of this. I’m 41 and I still don’t get all the BFD! I don’t remember it being this bad with MJ grabbing his crotch with a glittery glove or Madonna doing it with a pant suit
MJ grabbing his crotch or Madonna doing it with a pant suit were parts of great performances. People are making a big deal of this because it was such a painfully BAD performance.
I sooo agree. Here is Madonna grabbing her croch, “Express yourself” vma’s 1989, at the time she was ruling the world. Even if she has never been a great singer, she was damn great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pehMBaHgpWE
Thank you! I’m surprised how many people don’t get that the raunchiness alone wasn’t the whole problem. There were the cultural appropriations issues, as well as the fact that the performance was horrid! It was all tongue, fondling, and awkward thrusting, with no real singing, dancing, or artistic merit to speak of. It was like a precocious pre-teen doing a bad Rihanna impression. Had she actually turned in a good performance, I don’t think people would have been nearly as offended. Nothing I have ever seen Madonna, Prince, GaGa, Britney, or even Rihanna do has been quite as desperate and inept.
I don’t quite get the hoopla over the raunchiness; I’m pretty used to that.
What bothered me was more the appropriation of a style of art/music/dance that that performance made pretty clear to me Miley is not genuinely comfortable with. (This is coming from some one who had previously defended her for her foray into urban culture.) She looked awkward, not natural, and basically the whole act consisted of trying WAY too hard to project the image she wants. Otherwise how could she have been working on that mess for a month???!!!
Side note: I don’t know if anyone here knows who Iggy Azaelia is, but what is the deal with her accent? I believe she is from Australia and also sounds like she is trying way too hard to speak with an awkward urban accent. I was getting borderline racist vibes when she presented with Lil Kim; she sounded like a Sambo act to me.
+ INFINITY
To every single thing you just said!
Iggy is racist and a dumbass.
I agree with this. The part of her looking like an idiot while trying to be raunchy was more offensive than what she was actually doing.
She is way, way too try-hard and it was painfully obvious she was out of her element and she looked utterly ridiculous. The sad fact is that all the attention she got will make her think that her performance was “great” and we’ll get more of this spectacle in the future.
Iggy is a racist twit, but I will defend her on the accent thing. She’s lived in the US for a while, and learnt to rap listening to mostly Southern rappers. That she has a strong Southern accent when she sings, and a mixed accent (that fades in and out) when she talks really isn’t surprising at all. It’s not fake or mockery, it just happens.
Think Nicole Kidman’s Chanel ad: I’m a Dancer, I love to Dahnce. Almost the same word, two totally different accents. It does sound weird, but most trans-continental Aussies end up like that. It doesn’t seem to be an accent that blends well, it fades in and out awkwardly.
Yea, well she thinks her behavior is sexy and edgy, how much is her opinion worth.?
The teddy bears grossed me out and made me think of pedobear. Maybe all her antics are the result of years of sexual abuse and she’s subtly telling us so with the bears? *shudder*
That’s what I was thinking! That thought always crosses my mind when women and girls act so compulsively and desperately “sexy”.
This makes me uncomfortable guys. Sh-ing on Cyrus is one thing but let’s not make a joke or conjecture about sexual abuse. Some people just act that way without any sort of traumatizing past.
Have to agree with this – it was heinously creepy.
Unfortunately, I have to agree, I was creeped out by the bears and her weird performance and it crossed my mind then as well. I sincerely hope it’s not true and she just has terrible taste.
I just wish this story & Miley would go away! I wonder if this is the way her mom acts? Apple doesn’t fall far the tree… It would explain all the divorce filings?
I fear we haven’t seen anything yet. Remember she turns 21 in November. I think we’ll be seeing a lot more once she’s able to legally add alcohol into the mix
Yeah it was trashy and she is as well but I will readily admit that the dumb song has been stuck in my head all week. Therefore, the awful performance served its purpose.
BTW, is Liam in hiding?
I listened to her new song Wreckingball a couple of days ago, and it broke my heart. If it’s not about Liam, then my name is not Anna…
Wouldn’t you be?
What I found ‘offensive’ was her sheer lack of talent. She looked very “praying mantas on ice” in her dancing & she looked ridiculous. Not sexy or attractive just odd & frankly like an adolescent acting out in a “look at me, look at me, please” sort of way.
She, like the family dog, doesn’t understand the difference between good attention & bad attention, it’s the attention that she is looking for.
That’s key: She has no talent. Her only talent is using her family connections to become famous — But left to her own devices, there is nothing. She won’t be around for long. People will get tired of her screaming for attention.
And I’m sick of people comparing her to Madonna. Madonna was original and talented. Miley not so much.
yea i know right..i don’t get it…seriously are we being punked?
Actually she sounds good when she sings country music.. but maybe that’s not cool enough for her, country music is not suitable for out of mouth tongues or latex bikinis.
She covered a Bob Dylan song on a tribute album, and that is the one and only time I’ve ever thought she sounded good. I didn’t know she sang country, too.
There’s a video of her on youtube singing ‘Jolene’ with Dolly Parton, she doesn’t sound amazing but she has a nice voice when she uses it for the right song.
You had me at ‘Jolene.’ I love that song, so I had to go listen. She’s no Dolly and she’ll never be a great talent, but her voice is more suited to that type of music, I think. She’s clearly in the wrong genre.
She has country in her genes but she is stubbornly trying to be a girl from the ghetto. She is beyond annoying to me now and i’m over her and her antics. Her voice sounds bad in hip pop/pop genre and her dancing skills are horrifying, she probably shake the non existent ass all the time because it’s all she can do.
Most of it came from Miley’s brain…. That tells me all I need to know.
I’m wondering what she thinks she’ll need to do to top this. Her tongue is annoying but I never want to see those skin flaps she calls a butt again. Has she never heard of a squat?
lol
Lol @ “skin flaps for a butt”…you guys are cracking me up today!
‘Cyrus, 20, had been working on the VMAs performance….for about a month before MTV’s big awards show on Sunday.’
A MONTH!!! She worked on that performance for a month and that’s the best she could do. Wow.
That stood out to me as well. The performance was cringingly bad (the tiny clips I saw), I was embarrassed for her. And to find out that it was planned, and practiced?? Oi, that’s just humiliating.
She isn’t sexy. The routine wasnt sexy. She was just thrusting her abs at the audience (not her hips or butt… Her belly). I felt embarrassed for her. But now that’s over and she’s got her press inches she can’t say it wasn’t a success… She stole the show.
Liam and Miley aren’t together. If they were there’d be photos everywhere and he’d be commenting on her performance in a positive manner.
The childhood image of teddy bears was probably already damaged by the movie Ted. The Teddy Bear organization can chill.
+1 I’d like to see women be more than sex objects for once.
She and her tongue need to just go away.
I remember people complaining about Britney’s risque performances back in the day. But Britney’s VMA performance in 2000 looks downright wholesome compared to whatever that was Miley was doing the other night.
Also Miley’s cultural appropriation needs to stop. She has been called out on it for awhile now. And she acted like a typical spoiled brat in response.
Britney’s performances may have been considered by some to be provocative, but in her heyday there was all that choreography, the snake, the costume changes, and it was entertaining. To say what Miley did was a performance and compare her to Britney or Madonna is hugely insulting to those two because despite their problems, they worked hard to put on a good show. Miley’s “performance” looked like shit she threw together at the last minute and was nothing more than an excuse for her to stick out her tongue and molest herself in front of millions.
@Annabelle
I’m not sure you fully understood what I was saying. I was pointing out that there was controversy over the provocative nature of each. Yet when Britney performed in the early days (not talking about the 2007 embarrassment) it was entertaining because she knew how to perform.
I don’t think you can compare them as people or as entertainers. I was comparing the responses each of them had. In each case there was a lot of hand wringing.
In Miley’s case there should be controversy not because of the “sexiness” but because of the racism.
@Merritt
I understood what you were saying, and I wasn’t necessarily disagreeing. You mentioned Britney, and I got off on a tangent because I’ve seen so many comparisons to Britney/Madonna since Miley’s stunt at the VMAs.
Madonna and Britney were provocative & talented. Miley was offensive and awkward.
It’s already boring to me, and I think I’m desensitised to the tongue. The problem for miley is that she is relying on shock tactics for publicity without much performance talent to back it up, so she can only keep getting more shocking for the same attention. It’s not the best road to follow, but maybe her team has some amazing game plan. *shrugs* I actually find her tedious, not shocking.
She is creepy.
I normally leave the following sentence in ScarJo posts but i’ll make an exception here:
Close. Your. Mouth!
How do people who are fans of the rappers who are associating with her feel? I mean, how do you feel that they are so freely attaching their car to her train in the context of people saying that she uses black women as props and cultural appropriation and all that. Serious question.
I give my parents a hard time sometimes, but if I ever did what Miley did they would slap me silly, not cheer me on. Thank God for parents who dont want to be my friend
MTE. I heard her mother was in the audience and her dad tweeted something supporting her performance, and I was like, THIS! This is what’s wrong with this girl. Her parents don’t/didn’t PARENT and are cheering her on in her mortifying endeavors instead.
Her dad didn’t tweet anything about her performance. He tweeted something about the situation in Syria and it was mistakenly thought to be about Miley.
I think he is cringing big time over this. He has been pretty clear in the past that he thinks Miley is too “fame whore-ish”, but he got big backlash from her and the family on it. He’s keeping quiet for now, for the sake of peace.
The way she has her hand on Mike Won’t stop’s chest is how she used to pose with Liam when they were actually together instead of just pretending.
Please somebody tell me where Liam is!!!
They broke up last week. The women on The Talk were the only ones who bothered covering the story.
No way! Thanks i need to chack on that asap!!!!!! Liam is free so am I!! 🙂
*Check
I thought they broke up ages and ages ago.
Hiding, probably.
Working on it for a month? Did she forget to work on her vocals because she was so busy practicing her stripper moves? I have never ever ever heard such horrific singing on an award show. People who can’t sing and are manufactured in the studio to sound decent with all the vocal processing are smart enough to lipsync.
I think her two singles are good for her age pop, but the really heavy use of auto-tune is annoying. Her vocals are so heavily processed on both songs, well, one worse than the other.
I just wish she would close her mouth. She’s a pretty girl and the hair doesn’t bother me. But damn am I sick of that tongue! Plus, those facial expressions don’t make her look attractive at all.
I think this article sums it up: http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/08/liam-hemsworth-embarrassed-miley-cyrus-vma-performance/
Other sites are picking up this story and I tend to believe it. The Hollywood Life stories are trying to put a positive spin on Liam being MIA at the VMAs, but male pride rules here. Not a lot of men would co-sign on this, performance or not. I would love to see that infamous twerk session to be manipulated with Miley’s and Robin’s faces swapped out with Liam’s and January Jones’ faces. That Miley’s Achilles heel: Liam cheats on her or leaves her, particularly over this mess. Miley has practically given Liam a hall pass. Judging from the reactions I’ve seen if Liam acts on it no one will blame him. It will also wreck the “sex symbol” (sarcasm) image Miley is trying to forge (and failing miserably). As desperate as she is in shutting down rumors that they split up, that the one thing the Twerk Jerk wouldn’t be able to handle. And I fear there would be a bigger meltdown from her.
Who cares what Liam thinks? He needs Miley for her money, connections, and fame. Dude cannot make it on his own. People just see him as the lesser hemsworth no matter what. As much as I dislike Miley I dislike him EVEN more. Boy can’t carry any of the movies he’s been the lead in and he can’t act to save his life. The fact that he’s getting a six figure salary for the hunger games is astounding. He won’t be much after the hunger games ends.
The only person Miley disrespected was Miley. No one else.
OMG exactly! Tell ’em! Hemsworth is worth shit when he’s in a leading role. A movie doesn’t have to be great to attract audiences but he can’t even do that. Tatum can but then again, Tatum already IS a moviestar.
Cyrus is a star too and a super rich one. She elevates HIS status so HE needs HER. People can say what they want but both We Can’t Stop and her new song (which she didn’t even promote) are doing great. Wrecking Ball shot to the top after her VMA disaster. Hemsworth however, despite being in Hunger Games, being hot and with positive PR (thanks to the Cyrus bashing) can’t open a film to save his life.
People need to seriously stop pitying this lesser Hemsworth for staying with a girl for 4 years now AND engaging her. Like it’s out of his hands, like he just can’t break-up. Come on. It’s more clear than ever with his continuing FLOPS that he needs her. If anything, she should dump him.
I respectfully disagree that Liam needs Miley, and both comments.
Miley’s fame and money are relics of a once-successful career she had as a child. In recent times she has had new music released, but before this album she had accomplished not a hell of a lot besides working out and getting a haircut. I don’t believe her name carries any weight in entertainment. Sure, she’s garnered fame and fortune, but she is neither respected nor acknowledged as influential within industry. If Liam has recieved any helping hand, it would clearly be due to his being Chris Hemsworth’s brother.
Connections to a multi-million dollar franchise action star trumps dating a former Disney actress, no?
In any case, during Miley’s Pilates and experimentation phase, Liam was cast in a handful of films. I believe had Liam not been cast in The Hunger Games, she would have slipped into obscurity altogether. Due to their engagement, she became somewhat synonymous with him.
“Flops” or not, I think distancing himself from her would only HELP his career.
she needs to stop abusing her poor tongue before someone calls CPS.
Honestly, I never liked her, but I used to be a Miley apologist. I was high and crazy when I was her age. Thank god I wasn’t famous. It was embarrassing enough without being constantly broadcast all over the nation.
That said, she lost me when she stopped just living her life the way she wanted and actively started trying to be the most annoying person imaginable. That’s exactly what she’s doing, and it’s awful.
I have no problem with an adult woman claiming her sexuality and I’m whole-heartedly against slut shaming. Gyrating in a bikini is fine for MTV. It wasn’t the Kids’ Choice Awards. My main problem with that whole horrendous performance was the racism aspect (which has been argued to death online this week, so I’ll leave it at that), but I do have to admit that I’m a bit disturbed by certain sexual aspects. Because, you know, I’ve been thinking for a while now that Miley is a furry. And while YKINMKATO, I still can’t help but feel like I was unconsentually dragged into her own personal fetish show and that the voyeurism aspect rocks her socks. Her smug little smile about the whole thing really bugs me.
I think she needs to go back to being who she wants – but stop trying so hard to be what everyone else *doesn’t* want. There’s a difference. Because this isn’t in any way owning herself anymore. This is try-hard headline-mongering, and it’s getting old.
What is so terrible about being a furry? If she even is one, it could also be a schtick.
I never said it was terrible. In fact, I specifically said YKINMKATO (which stands for “your kink is not my kink and that’s okay”). I do, however, feel as if she’s unconsentually dragging her viewers into her personal fetish shows to get off on a sense of power and voyeurism.
That and the whole being willfully obnoxious thing.
Sorry, I didn’t catch your long acronym. Furry is not really a kink, though. To a few people, sure. You are probably also conflating it with plushies. Many do. But, plushies is an actual kink while furry is more of a full fledged subculture – it’s kind of like calling Ren Faire a kink just because some people get freaky at RenFaires.
But even so, why decide that this one facet of her show is genuinely her when all the rest is so obviously fake? Like the latex bikini and tongue thing isn’t a kink?
Don’t you think she’s just going for whatever will shock the most people/parents and really DGAF about any of it?
Yeah Horny Montana got just what she wanted. A sh!t load of upset parents. Everyone involved with this at the VMA’s was in on it. They got what they wanted too. A sh!t load of upset parents.
Why is this story still alive?
It’s one thing to not be a dancer but the only thing I could see her having practiced for one month is learning where the backup dancers were going to be and staying out of their way. As for her duet with Robin Thick if it took her one month to learn how to manhandle him and stick out her tongue, well, I guess we can all figure out why Liam is not around so much, lol.
Of course her team will spin the attention she is currently receiving as expected as planned. Of course people had her in the studio immediately in the aftermath of all of this publicity. Good or bad it is certainly NOT indifferent. People who haven’t seen the performance are curious.
Next month not so much. Larry Randolph knows to strike when the iron is hot. It is not necessary that the product he is putting out is good or not. Heat has been generated.
The real question is when the dust has settled where will Miley be? She is already wealthy and is only 20 years old. She definitely appeared to be having the time of her life on the stage but I was ultimately not entertained by her performance. I kept wanting her to move away so I could see the performers. She just seemed to be in the way. Sadly, Miley has a professional team behind her. Miley Cyrus is a brand. What is the goal? What is the direction? Is this what they have mapped out for her for the next 10 years? Yeah Bieber is still making bank but unfortunately making bank is very different from earning credibility and respect from ones peers.
figures that kanye “im not for sale” west would jump all over this shit. what a bunch fake, clowns all these idiots are.
What else is Larry Rudolph going to say? Another adult with his hand out who can’t tell the kid she’s selling music, but becoming a laughing stock at the same time.
An empty barrel makes the most noise . . .
“Most of it came from Miley’s brain.” which says a whole lot…
Ooh! I do like that.
And I know I keep changing my avatar. Just trying to get one that feels juuuussst RIGHT.
No one’s going to comment on the Miley/Richard Simmons picture? Because that is freakin’ hilarious!
That gave me a sad. Oh, Richard!
Eventually, people are gonna be sick of her shenanigans as the novelty wears off. Someone’s going to outshock, upstage her anytime (see what happened to Lady Gaga). You have to have talent.
Of course she couldn’t be happier, she got the result she wanted. What’s sad is that the bar has been set so low that this is what achieves fame. Even sadder is the thought of all the impressionable young girls out there being influenced by her and all the other crap that’s out there.
Damn she is morphing into Bieber.
That haircut could not look worse on anybody, even somebody that didn’t have a bowling-ball head with jug-handle ears. UGH.
@godesslove
I know about the youtube video(which is hilarious) and still haven’t heard anyone use that term in reference to someone else and have it be a compliment. They’re throwin shade hard ~ and I’ve been into hip hop since 1978~so don’t even try.
I’m kind of dying to know what Liam thinks of all this. Like, hear it from himself. Of course, I’ll just keep on dreaming.
She bores me.
But I’m really just chiming in to plead: please, please no more pictures of that tongue! I know tongue-less pictures are a rarity these days, but for the love of your readers :(… It icks me out when I see those pictures on the main page.
She’s so cute.
That wasn’t tweaking, Miley – that was twerping.
OMG the very day after that stupid ass hairdo and the VMAs I went out for lunch and the hostess at the restaurant (who obviously thought she was far too cool to work there…) had the EXACT hair as the header pic. I was laughing my butt off with my friend.
Oooh, Miley and Biebs would be perfect for each other. Their universe would implode with all the try-hard wannabe-ness.
She got exactly what she wanted – people talking about her.
Miley, I think you should get your tongue forked and pierced. Now that would be freaky.
I think her new nickname should be Cyrus the Virus. Although John Malkovich would not be pleased! haha
STOP WITH THE TONGUE ACTIONS…KEEP THAT THING IN YOUR MOUTH PLEASE!!
Can you find another picture w/o her tongue sticking out? It’s just disgusting!
She’s acting her age….mentally that is a very spoiled 5 yrs old……..
Like my granny used to tell us when we were small….”Keep sticking that tongue out youngu’n and someone just might think you want it cut off and oblige ya !”
naturally, what little girl doesn’t want to grow up to be a porn star? or at least look/act like one?
One has to wonder,
How many people have “jumped on that train?”
I mean literally jumped, for god’s sake the girl is humping teddy bears – rappers aren’t that big of a stretch?
KK will beat her ass if she does Kanye.
Madonna was thought-provoking and provocative. Miley is vomit-inducing and lewd. She has become nothing more than the living, breathing, poster-child for every misogynist rap lyric ever written. She’s cultivated a persna as the drug-using, gang-banged party girl; the wealthy whore who dresses in Chanel, but still manages to look like a pig. She is “thrilled” with all the attention she got and doesn’t care if it’s almost entirely negative. She sold her dignity for bank. Keep sticking that putrid tongue out and lappin’ it up, Miley.
Bang on. No substance whatsoever, just a misguided, horny, entitled teenager-like girl who is having her way with the media and thinks she’s actually legitimate, thanks to its pathetic lack of standards and scruples. Just because a few pieces of crap say it’s ok Miley, doesn’t mean it is. You will go down in history as a joke, if you even get a mention.
I just ran into this: http://www.upworthy.com/a-comedians-take-on-the-miley-cyrus-debacle-completely-changed-what-i-thought-of-it
and thought it was a good expression of what makes me uncomfortable about the whole dogpile-on-Miley thing that’s going on. Worth watching/listening
Yeah some people are piling on Miley for what she’s wearing and her “expressing her sexuality” (eyeroll), but honestly her performance was horrendous. The singing, the dancing, the quality of the performance. It was just a train-wreck from start to finish. Thicke, 2Chainz, Kendrick, they should all be embarrassed for this entire performance. It was awful, tacky, crude, and just didn’t sound good at all. It actively turned me off of Blurred Lines and Give it 2 U. Both Robin Thicke’s songs are gross to me now. Ugh, especially their videos.
Everyone’s talking about Miley Cyrus using black women as props…even worse in Thicke’s video. This whole association (Martel, Thicke, Cyrus, 2Chainz, Kendrick) is disgusting and not at all funny and amusing like they seem to think.
As an aside, while Jon Lajoie has made good commentary in most of his songs and he’s a talented, funny guy…I cannot stand him on the League. I must be the only one who can’t stand Taco. He just annoys me to no end.
@Bijlee and @NM9005 – Let’s see how beneficial Liam will find his association with Miley when the paps corner him and throw that nasty performance in his face; implying that part of the rehearsal is actually shagging Robin to get that authentic feel. And her hanging out with rappers – watch the paps throw out the term “jungle fever” just to get a rise out of him. You think they won’t do that? Imagine having that flung at you for MONTHS, just like Kristen Stewart’s cheating was tossed at Robert Pattinson at every opportunity by the paps. Rob toughed it out for a while at the cost of his image and reputation; and after ten months it couldn’t last. (Rob had his acting cred questioned a lot too.) Did you think Liam is willing to be called a wuss and doormat all for maintaining the “prestige” of being Miley’s fiance’? He’s getting sympathy now, but that will change if he doesn’t dump her. Look what happened to Rob.
BTW I think Miley IS stupid enough to actually cheat on Liam. I bet the gossip press thinks so too, and they are on the lookout for proof. Exposing Kristen’s Mini-Coopering was a big payday for that pap; imagine the bounty for catching Miley. As arrogant as she is, she won’t be smart enough to cover her tracks. As for Liam and January Jones – nothing’s been proven. Nail Miley on the infidelity cross with hard evidence – Liam has just cause to leave her.
Someone must have told her she looked sexy with her tongue out…..idiot
That “performance” coupled with th constant tweets and the complete departure from who he asked to marry him is reason enough to leave her. In fact I think it is expected that he already has or soon will. She has shown such an utter lack of good judgement and respect toward her relationship that I would be disappointed if he didn’t get out of the whole relationship.
I get that Miley can (and should) do what makes her happy but Liam has the right to be happy too and I cannot imagine that her current behavior or persona suits him.
Sorry meant to reply above. On phone 🙂
Mo`Money Mo`Money..Go make some more money for us Honey! Thats all i hear now. With parents advocating little girl Beauty pagents to allowing there kids to make RIDICULOUS TV shows for innocent kids to watch… I`am concerned (NO! I`am disgusted) our little kids are exposed to this stuff on TV. Now little girls want to be Like Miley, Lindsey, Paris etc and all the other bitchy female celebrities.
Thanks alot Billy Ray and Mr and Mrs Lohan and all you other parents that make money from exploiting your children.
You parents are just greedy.
You shouldnt be making money off your kids. Go back to work and make your own money and protect your FAMILY!!
Dumb Parents!!
I can honestly say that no single celebrity has ever made me want to punch the living shit out of my own computer screen. Except maybe Heidi and Spencer. Hmmmm, nope, not even them. I know my hatred of Miley is probably irrational, but I seriously want to knock the living crap out of her. Every time I see another picture of her with her goddamn tongue out I can actually feel my blood pressure spike.
I think a lot of people have the urge to smack that tongue out of her head.
This is the result of what Miley has unleashed at the VMAs:
The word “twerk” is now in the Oxford English dictionary.
A few minutes ago E! News did a segment giving twerking lessons. The four hosts threw their dignities out the window and try to do it.
For the record I thought “twerking” was nothing more than a sleazy stripper move. It doesn’t look good on anyone, regardless of race, creed, color or sex.
What a dumb twit. I hope she realizes that all she’s ‘accomplished’ here is looking like a cheap $10 whore who just got off the pole at the local strip club.
Ah, daddy must be SO proud!
A mid Tuesday afternoon stripper at that. Not the Friday/Saturday night money line up. We’re really talking lunch hour two minutes from the Albuquerque airport stripper. 🙂
Well she’s trash, of course she’s happy with her actions.
That last picture with the guy, she is standing much closer than she and Liam have in forever. She’s so disrespectful to Liam and his family with all of this.
She didn’t destroy the teddy bear stuffed animal thing – furries have been around for a long time.
Miley needs to change her name again—- this time to Ongue-y.
The new Madonna is exactly right. Only problem is that she’s not doing anything new while trying to be Madonna. Same schtick, same look, same “look at me I’m shocking”. At least being shocking was somewhat new when Madonna jumped on that train. Like everything else in Hollywood, creativity is being recycled because no one has the brains to think of anything new. Boring.
The “new Madonna” my ass! And please please please stop showing pics of her on this site with her huge disgusting tongue hanging out! Can we get a reprieve from that freakishness here at least? This girl is just insufferable. And gross. And if I never hear the word twerk again it will be too soon.
guess who thought she was thoroughly nauseating a LONG TIME AGO??
me.
Please I beg of you don’t print any more tongue pictures. That long white candida fuzzed thing is just gross. Find a nice stock photo of the girl comparable to the Beeber car seat photo and put it up any time you have the urge to print a Miley tongue photo. Please.
