As I mentioned yesterday, Miley Cyrus lit up a joint while accepting the “best video” award for “Wrecking Ball” at the EMAs. MTV censored the footage, but here’s some photo evidence to prove that Miley is so hardcore with her weed. She also stated on Twitter that she doesn’t really give a f–k about this latest controversy:
sometimes in life you just gotta decide to not give AF
— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) November 11, 2013
Bitch please. Miley cares so much it’s ridiculous. Right now she’s wondering why her joint of doom didn’t create as much of a stir as when she twerked on Robin Thicke’s Beetlejuice crotch. There’s a reason people aren’t paying as much attention: Miley screamed for so much attention for months on end that everyone is burnt out on her antics. Bangerz did reach #1 for its first week of sales with 250k units sold, but then the album fell off sharply. Eminem’s MMLP2 came out last week and sold an estimated 750k units. Compared to Em, Miley didn’t sell jack, and she probably thought all bazillion Vevo views would add up to at least 1mil records sold.
So Miley is starting to worry. She’s got 38 cities scheduled for the Bangerz tour … including a date in my very own Tulsa (ZOMG!). Will I splurge on tickets? No way. Even if I was a twerking fan, Miley’s given away all the milk for free. She already went naked and licked a sledgehammer in her video, so what could she possibly do in concert to hold my attention? She’ll be making $500,000 per concert, but Live Nation is going to lose so much money in the deal. Now Miley’s growing nervous too. MTV interviewed her and titled the article, “Will anyone show up for Miley’s Bangerz tour?” Ouch:
Her touring plans: “I just want everything I do to feel like people going to a different world because people always make it seem I don’t fit in to what this normal kind of world is. So I want to take people out of the normal world and go into my world. I think that’s part of why I was inspired to have this alien theme for the EMAs. I just want it to feel like anything is possible and everything goes in the arena when I’m there, I’m pro everything. Everyone’s loved. Everyone’s accepted.”
Let’s do this? “I’m ready to be on tour already. I wish I could skip past all the tours and all the rehearsals and all that and how many meltdowns ’cause I get very anxious. I’m a little bit obsessive compulsive. I mean I’m so obsessive compulsive my closet is in alphabetical order by designer, so I’m like that crazy. So when it comes down to a tour, it’s like 24/7 insane thinking about what it’s going to be, but that’s the fun part.”
She’s so happy but so worried: “I couldn’t find anything to complain about. Actually, I did something the other day where I had to do something where I was supposed to cry and I was looking at everything like trying to torture myself to make myself cry and I couldn’t because I’m just like the happiest person ever. And, so, it’s crazy from the time I had started writing ‘Wrecking Ball’ and working on ‘Wrecking Ball’ to where I am even now, I mean people tell you that you’re gonna change and you always think you’re not gonna change, and then you constantly change. And it keeps getting better and obviously I’m excited about my tour. I get nervous that I’m gonna get there and no one’s going to show up, but hopefully some people show up.”

I think someone needs to remind Miley that she didn’t write “Wrecking Ball.” Honestly I do hope she has some fans show up for this tour. Miley is annoying as hell, but I don’t want to see the fallout when she realizes Vevo hits and Twitter followers don’t translate into ticket sales. This does not bode well.
About a month ago, some teasers came out for the new Future video, “Real and True,” which features Miley. The video finally (?) dropped. Miley is wearing only silver body paint and glitter for much of the vid, but it’s a fairly SFW jaunt. The song is pretty lame. Is this supposed to be rap?
Here’s some pictures of Miley doing a Saturday night appearance on Germany’s Wetten Dass…? show.

Well said… She’s already given away the milk for free. I do not like her voice at all it actually irritates me, so unless I was getting an entertaining show a la Britney Spears (who I also find to be a horrible singer) then there’s no way someone could even pay me to go to this concert. :/
Me either. It’d have to be a lot of money and a lot of free booze for me to go. Maybe if they put buy one get one free tickets on Groupon they might have more ticket sales.
Shocking people, bad behavior and lewd clothing do not add up to ticket sales. The fact of the matter is her behavior has grown tiresome. At first it was like a train wreck, everyone wanted a peek…now it’s just tacky, vulgar and embarrassing. If she were confident in her talent she wouldn’t need all the carnival-like trappings.
That’s what they said about the Sex Pistols.there is really no comparison, but just sayin.
Well let’s hope things don’t end in a heroin overdose. I think the big difference is that they were doing something truly new, and they felt a lot less manufactured. But they also burned brightly and shortly.
The Sex Pistols are probably the most overrated band ever.
Exactly. Well said.
Well with a bit of luck they’ll gave to cancel a bunch because of poor tickets sales so maybe Live Nation won’t take a total bath.
that white outfit makes my vagina hurt. Good Lord!!
I know….she adores showing off the old camel toe.
I don’t give half a sh*t about Miley but I think her tour will do alright. Despite what we Celebitches (myself among them) think about the hammer-licking wreck a lot of people WILL go out to see her in person just to see what kind of stunt she might pull next.
Now, do I think that she’ll have “the tour of the year”? Hell no. But I don’t think it’ll be a total flop either.
Jaysus, I shudder to think what stunt might be left. If she’s smart she’s take the opposite tack. But…. I don’t think she’s smart or in control over what’s happening.
I think her tour will do all right too. However she has so many concerts coming up and in rather big places so maybe there is not that much audience…
Agreed. I doubt it will do Taylor-Swift-style well but it should do decently at the very least, there is a world beyond Celebitchy (* cough cough* Tumblr) where people eat up all her antics and act like she’s the best thing since sliced bread.
i disagree.
i think they will have to cancel tons of dates…
who will show up?
her ‘hannah montana’ fans??
‘urban’ music lovers??
i am going to enjoy this portion of her career.
maybe she will have to go away for awhile!
@paige “maybe she will have to go away for awhile”
From your lips to God’s ears but I seriously don’t see that happening anytime soon. I’m not a fans of hers but I am a realist, it’s just not likely, she’s been a lot more successful this year than any of us thought she’d be.
Ehhhh, I’m in my twenties, and I know women who will go to Miley’s concerts if she is scheduled in their area. Not only will they go, but they will *want* to go. I think her tour will be fine – she probably appeals to the party girl crowd pretty well and I think those women will go and have a good time.
Just to be clear: I am not one of those women who would attend a Miley concert.
She has quite a good support line-up, although I can’t help but think that Sky Ferriera, a singer with actual talent and songwriting ability might be thrown off once she starts to overshadow Miley, which I have no doubt she will.
Who is this Miley Cyrus creature again?????
Yeah! How come I’ve never heard of her before? Must have slowly her way up the ladder, really paying her dues…
Can’t help but think there’s going to be a future story about her being sexually abused as a kid. Something’s not right with her.
Girl’s pretty hyper.
that’s what I took from the interview excerpt as well.
gogogogogogogogogogo! she sounds like she’s on something that speeds her up…
THIS. I have zero experience with drug use but she is completely high in that interview. I’m worried for her.
She sounds a bit manic in the interview, and her antics have these odd feel of desperation. She just needs to settle in, relax, and let her music do the talking. It’s not clear why she feels she needs to try so very hard.
An image is created over time, through genuine actions. It feels like she is throwing every possible “naughty” action into a mixer with the hope that the result is bad*ss. But it feels so silly and contrived.
I’ve been thinking about this and my conclusion/prediction is that tweens are allowed to listen to wrecking ball, and allowed to watch the “safe” version of the video that is shown constantly on Nick, but they won’t be allowed to attend her concert. Every parent has seen this disaster and most will stay away from the live show. Young adults are watching “real” artists….so….
I think this is going to cause attendance problems.
I think you are absolutely right. She lost her Hannah Montana fan base and now she must rely on adults. I cannot imagine paying big money to see what we have already seen. I also don’t get why people will pay Vegas prices to see a lip-syncing prancing Brittney Spears so I could be wrong here. That said, Miley is a good singer. Once she settles down and cuts the crap, she might be able to fill a audience (remember Elton John started out extreme and now relies on his talent.) Time will tell.
This exactly. She has many fans as proven by the album-sales but they are mostly underaged girls. Their parents might have bought them her album to avoid the tantrums but there’s no way they will let them go to her concert. Some adults might be interested in her shenanigans or even like the songs but again – will they buy tickets to her concerts? I doubt it. They can watch everything she’s got for free in front of their computers.
Oh crap, I wrote pretty much the same thing below before I saw your post! But totally agree- she’s twerked and inhaled her way out of a ticket buying audience, and she doesn’t have the goods to attract adults.
True she really has lost her Hannah Montana fans. I was stupid how she went hardcore “sexy”. If she had a few pop songs that had videos that were not so risque she would have seen those fans carried over to her new persona. As it is you are going to lose a ton of teenage girls that would have begged their parents to attend and you are not going to get a bunch of grown men at that concert. Most women in their late 20s and early 30s think she’s a joke so yeah who is attending her concert???
Mollie, Diane,Norman’s mom, ctkat and starwonder.. totally agree
Totally agree. Miley thinks she has expanded her audience past the tweens with all of her ridiculous antics, but I couldn’t identify one person in real life who is buying anything that she’s selling. I actually like “Wrecking Ball” as a song (the video is a joke, of course), but have zero interest in being visually or otherwise assaulted by her in concert. My son is 14 and he and his friends think she is a huge joke. I’m sure they drove the naked-vid hit counts, of course, but there’s no way anyone in that crowd is going to see her in concert.
I predict cancelled dates, too. Then maybe she will go away and grow up a little. This shtick really gets old.
Who is the woman next to her on the couch? Her face says it all. BTW, her feigned humility is cheap. “…Hopefully some people will show up.” Who wants to see that mess unless it’s free on youtube?
“Heidi” on the couch is pissed and with good reason. Money Cyrus hasn’t an ounce of talent or class.
Count me out for her concert. If I wanted to see a circus I would go to Barnum and Bailey”s.
She’s moving into tiresome category. I’m not sure if that is her fault, or the media’s, for saturation of coverage. Hype wears you down just like epinephrine. There’s only so long it can be maintained until the whole thing collapses into a state of exhaustion, like the body, after an adrenaline rush.
I have a hard time envisioning who is going to buy tickets for Miley. Think about her contemporaries in “female pop singers”: Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Rihanna.
Katy, Taylor, Selena and even Beyonce all cater their image to be acceptable to a tween/teen audience- so their concerts are filled with young girls and their chaperones. Miley hasn’t courted this audience at all; all of her antics have pretty much guaranteed that even if a 12 year old wanted to go to the concert with her 4 best friends, it won’t be appropriate.
So that leaves…adults. Who do attend Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Rihanna concerts, certainly. And Miley wants to be seen as an adult, she doesn’t want to be “safe for tweens.” But will adults attend a Miley Cyrus concert? I’m not convinced that they will- when adults go to pop concerts, it’s usually to see a big show.
You would be very surprised – I know plenty of adults (sadly) that plan on going to see her. Her album has a few good pop songs on there (even though it got old for me after two weeks). Trust me, if people go to see Rihanna (who turns up late/forgets the words), there will be people willing to fork out cash to go see Miley. You’re right though about the tweens and kids, (good) parents will be reluctant to let their kids go to a show like what Miley is likely to be offering.
I see your point- I guess for the sake of a concert, her closest contemporary is Rihanna. And people do pay to see Rihanna, even though she doesn’t really put on a big “show,” her voice isn’t that strong, she doesn’t do big dance numbers, etc.
I do think she shot herself in the foot by alienating the tweens, since they provide a HUGE amount of money. I know she wanted to kill and bury all remnants of Hannah Montana, but it’s short sighted in terms of career longevity.
Yeah. I know some women who are so hardcore with their anti slut shaming, they are ‘in love’ with her, want to be ‘her best friend’ and bought her album. Anyone who doesn’t share this opinion is a stuck up bore. These are women in their 30’s, by the by, who are full of it, because if someone constantly behaved as Miley does while just hanging out, they’d be sick of it after the first night. Adults aren’t exactly what they used to be, either.
Has that toddler Beiber had any concerts recently? Because parents take their kids to see that brat don’t they? So if a parent would take their tween/teen to see him they must not have any problem with Miley since they both behave the same way.
I love what Adam Carolla said about her: ” Just because you’re skinny and tan does not mean you’re hot”.
I can’t even look at pictures of this trick. Not only is her tongue nasty it is that greasy face that is so gross to look at. She used to be attractive but as she is aging her skin is getting more and more oily it is nasty.
What is her target audience at this point? I don’t see a lot of tweeners and teens going if their parents have half a brain. And I think a lot of people in their 20’s have better things to spend their money on. I think the tour will flop.
LOL at the expressions on the people in the last picture
Pretty Corseted Blonde is completely over Miley Cyrus.
I think Rihanna 2.0’s tour will do well. However, All the twerking, drug use, and fake ratchet behavior has overshadowed her singing career IMO. She does know how to keep people talking about her though. Watch out Kris Jenner, there is a new stunt queen in town!
Rihanna 2.0 !!! Perfect !
I am not surprised. Seriously the girl was country before and now she has turned into some rachet girl who cannot sing very well live anymore. No one wants to see that in person.
My problem with Miley is not the tongue or the nekkid or the weed or the twerking/grinding or straddling of things. It’s that all this gyrating covers up a *complete lack of talent*. Christina, even at her drunk-messiest, has always had a set of pipes. Gaga, for all her over the top ART, is a genuinely good entertainer whose songs embrace messages that many people identify with. Britney could never sing very well but she could dance and put on a good show (and her decline as an entertainer has more to do with her inability to dance as she used to than her singing). But Miley cannot dance, which is why she twerks/grinds, she is not a good singer, her songs are just generic electro-garbage recycled pop that are so broad there is no real message to identify with, and she doesn’t put on an especially good show. It’s just a lot of, how did Bedhead put it? Sound and fury. I think she wants to be sexually aggressive and edgy like Madonna circa 1991, but Rihanna already has that covered. Miley isn’t offering anything someone else isn’t already doing better, and that will eventually catch up to her.
Excellent comment.
This entire comment. And I don’t get the comments about her being pretty either–I mean, I guess if you bony people with butter-faces–so she doesn’t even have that to fall back on.
If no one shows up it’s because Miley is a spectacle experienced in the periphery. We turn our heads to see this manifestation of pure id begging us to look, then go back to what really interests us.
+1
I’d gladly enjoy watching a Miley meltdown when her tour fails. I can’t wait for her to find out that she’s not the most famous person in the entire world.
I heard a radio interview w/her and holy crap – she has to stop w/the speed or whatever she’s taking that makes her talk a mile a minute – it’s exhausting.
(Responding to a comment below saying Miley has zero work ethic and was just a spoiled rich kid, don’t know why it ended up here but this site has become rather unstable for commenting). I’ve always heard the opposite – Miley is well known for working hard even in her early teens. The Mouse actually overworked her and sometimes on stage she looked awfully tired, but she also was obviously willingly doing it. Girl has been self-driven since an early age. Her dad was rich and paid for everything during her Disney days (hence her money vault is overflowing now), but he was also quite frugal. So although she did grow up rich, I don’t think she was raised spendthrift rich. Occasional splurges but not what you see in some others. I would worry that her love if drugs may be eroding her work ethic, but maybe not. She still has a lot of energy. She’s always talked a mile a minute, by the way. So manic is kind of normal for her.
I think she’s a fairly decent singer, I just can’t stand her talking voice. I think her tour will be ok, not great. I can’t figure out if all this attention seeking crap is her idea or her people’s? Maybe no one can or does say NO to her.
First, I concur with the comments; this “interview” if it’s verbatim, is just manic narcissistic gibberish;
As Algernon put it if this twit had actual talent her “handlers” wouldn’t be in this position;
Just think, Pearl Jam came out with a new cd, has loyal fans from over 20 years (I’ve seen them 4 times), and they’ve sold out their venues – their Baltimore and Pittsburgh concerts sold out in about 15 minutes – and they play real music live, no stupid pointless dance routines, costume changes or light shows – imagine that; Maybe if this panfaced idiot and her minders had brains, they would take note. I do hope her tour flops and she goes back to the hills where she came from.
I agree that all of her “I don’t give AF” is so disingenuous. If she tried any harder to get attention, she’d pop.
She ought to take notes from Selena Gomez team. That girl has a game plan. She is transitioning from tween to adult seemingly without the notoriety most of her peers seem to embrace. I’m the cynical type so I also believe her very young looking face belies a more seasoned individual.
Actually knew someone who took a tween to a HM concert back in the day- she said all it was was a venue to sell overpriced HM merchandise to the fans(aka their adults) – the actual “concert” was 2 20 min sets with a long break in between. Since no one will buy Miley foam fingers- who thinks she can actually perform for the length of a KP or Lady G show?
At a $100 a ticket, if she could fill a 5000 seat venue then Live Nation might make that money back. I just doubt she can do that on her own. Her recent appearances have only been on awards shows where there are other acts people like. I seriously doubt she has the pull to bring in that many people.
Well at least she is honest. I think that every actor, singer out there worries about who will see their movie or who will be at their concerts – they just don’t acknowledge it. Why do you think that actors work so hard on red carpets, give interviews about their personal life. She is certainly putting herself out there and this just makes her vulnerable to the press who love to hate her. Got to love her for that. She is living the high life – will be interesting to watch if she does ok or crashes with drugs. She keeps going against all the bad press and is making millions. For me I don’t really find her all that offensive – no hate here. Personally I hate more the actors/actresses who tell the rest of the world what to do. Here you poor people conserve energy while I fly all over the world or here you poor people give money to other countries while I buy my $5,000 purses and give about 1% of my income. I much prefer a foam finger.
Well if it’s like styrofoam, it might take 100 years to decompose, so hopefully there aren’t a ton of foam fingers either.
But Miley isn’t any different than the other performers you are describing. She is desperately doing anything to get attention hoping that will translate into album sales. The ones I admire or at least respect are the ones who do not sacrifice their integrity to make a buck. Their are plenty of working actors and broadway performers and singers who put out incredible music but are not owned by a corporation.
that song is slowly growin on me
She’s supposed to be such a rebel with her nudity and pot-smoking but it’s not like anyone’s trying to stop her. We’re just criticizing. If she was a real rebel she would push her act on Saudi Arabia or Russia.
She can sing, and she’s pretty, but she has zero work ethic. She never had to have one, growing up rich and spoiled. So all she does is party and do drugs and then think she deserves to be adulated for acting like a tool.
I hope her career flops. It’s not like she needs the money, so it would only damage that bloated ego, which would be good for her in the long run.
The thing is, I don’t think she can sing nor do I think she is pretty. Her singing voice is generic at best. And her face just isn’t pretty, her facial structure and her lips are ugly. Of course, this is just my opinion, and everyone has different tastes as far as beauty go, so if you (or anyone else) think she’s pretty, that’s fine, but I don’t.
Once on Daily Mail someone said Miley’s face looked like a dropped pie. *snickers*
her caps are too big for her face and it totally distorts the bottom half of her face. if on occasion, she tries to actually shut her mouth, she ends up with a pained, constipated, pursed look.
Alma- I like her face. She doesn’t look like everybody else, that’s all. Hope she stays away from the plastic surgeons trying to please folks like you. Would you really think she was ugly if she was just a normal non-famous person? Or are you affected by your dislike of her behavior or music or whatever? I really am baffled how someone can honestly look at her and say she’s ugly. I don’t like her makeup but I don’t like makeup on anybody (especially lipstick) unless it’s the kind to compensate for the cameras and intended to not look like makeup. Really hate it in realspace.
Lavinia, thank you. I just lost it.
She’s darned pretty compared to me. And she sings quite noticeably better too. 🙂
Can’t say that I’m surprised. She is not talented. People have been able to watch the train wreck for free. And the reality is her fan base has always been mostly younger people, who need to have their parents pay for everything. Not to many parents are going to pay for this. Obviously it is still early, but I think the tour will bomb.
I like her but I would not go to one of her concerts. The main thing that determines whether or not I’d go to a singer’s concert is their live singing voice. Miley’s live singing voice is hit or miss- sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s lame. Even if an artists is a good performer, that’s probably not enough to motivate me to shell out 100 bucks just to come see them. Plus, I hate it when she sings We Can’t Stop.
Unless her tours are small arenas, it will probably flop. Or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe some people want to go to her concert just to be able to say they saw her live.
As for Miley’s image, on the one hand I definitely see how it can be really fun to spend months or even a year experimenting with and displaying your wildest self for all to see, especially if you grew up with people bullying you at every hint of sexuality, or pressure to not be as free as you want and deserve to be. I can see how she feels so free. Plus, she gets press for it, so it’s kind of a win-win situation. But after a while, as fun as it is, you probably get tired of always being ‘The Wild One’, the one who people always expect to do crazy or raunchy things. I predict that Miley will eventually get tired of this and change her image to something more mellow for a while. I’ve seen it happen with others.
Yup, totally correct about the live singing voice thing, I love quite a few of Katy Perry’s songs on the radio and in my iPod but I would NEVER pay good money to go see her live again – I love Rihanna but I would never pay to see her live, I’ve got friends who went to her concerts this year and they were like, “wah, she was late, didn’t even enjoy myself” and I’m like, “lol, it’s practically your fault, you should’ve known better”.
A few people who really know how to put on a good show are Adele, Taylor Swift, Pink and Beyonce. I think Miley’s tour might do decently well but I don’t see it being a HUGE success at all.
I get what you both are saying, but you are both generously assuming she is going to sing live. Which she likely won’t since most don’t. Pop is more about putting on a show now a days. Nothing like BB King and Peter Frampton I saw recently 🙂
This girl needs to be taken down several pegs and see that she is NOT the center of the universe as she so seems to think she is. She needs to learn humility and en epic fail of a tour will do just that. From what I have read, she is about to experience flop sweat on a major scale because she is not a headliner and can’t support a tour with what she has now.
I’m genuinely annoyed that she is saying she wrote Wrecking Ball, a guilty pleasure of mine, when she didn’t write it. That’s like me going around saying I wrote the Odyssey because I read it. Ugh. I usually give this girl a pass, too.
This is such a load of non sense. While we bitch about her and “professional critics” and the media dumped all over her about the MTV antics the fact is that her album and singles went straight up the charts.
I have no doubt people will be going to her concerts, they go to Rihanna’s near-naked fests all the time and she can’t even sing live. Miley’s an ultra douche but she can actually sing, her songs are ridiculously catchy (you want to hate them but they stick in your head) and lots of people like her stuff. I’m not worried one bit for her + apparently she’s got some PR genius piloting her career now.
You did catch the part where her sales dropped?
she looks like some odd budget toy that comes in a happy meal
One thing about her though, is she has insane legs. I would kill to have legs like that.
I think her tour will do fine… she has her party girl demographic. I don’t personally know anyone who is interested in her as an artist, or her music– but hey, LMFAO did well for a while there.
Who would pay to see her? If I wanted to be titillated, I’d go to a strip club. If I wanted good music, I wouldn’t go to her looking for it.
Looks like the Twerk Jerk is learning ratchet will only get you so far. Compared to Eminen, Miley didn’t do squat in sales in the first week. Not one American Music Award nomination. I’ll hazard a guess she won’t get a Grammy nod either. If she can’t turn a profit on her concerts watch how fast they will throw her under the bus.
I feel like she just really thinks she is so much more “odd” than she really is. The more she shouts about her abnormality, the more generic she seems. Organizing your clothes alphabetically isn’t “crazy,” it’s something many many people do!
Miley needs some mental health help or at least some wisdom or advice.
Ummm you can pretty much see her clit in the top pic.. This has officially gone TOO far..omg
could be a swollen lymph node
Lily Allen’s new vid has just been released..BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
http://youtu.be/E0CazRHB0so
nailed it (re miley i mean)
My 12 year old daughter said “I bet not many people will be there. Not even I’d go and I used to like her”.
Thank goodness.
Going to a Miley concert would be embarrassing,
Miley really doesn’t have much of a voice, in my opinion, so her on-stage antics must suffice. As someone said, they are really boring by now and we are all over the initial shock. I am so over the whole thing and I find it hard to believe that people really want to see her in panties or even scantily clad…..she’s just not a big deal.
