Miley Cyrus

Loose Lips Miley Cyrus is on the cover of Billboard Magazine talking about the Vanity Fair hubbub. Best quote: "I stress about that stuff like everyone else, but at the end of day, I’m a good ol’ Southern girl that likes her Cracker Barrel at 9 o’clock at night and if I want it, gosh darn, I’m going to eat it." • More details on the Madonna and Guy Ritchie split: According to the Daily Mirror, "They were both very calm. Madonna told Guy: ‘I’m sorry, I want a divorce’. And he agreed. It was quite painless but very sad.” • Bill Murray's divorce was finalized yesterday. His now ex-wife, Jennifer Butler Murray, was granted full custody of the couple's 4 children and will likely get the $7 million outlined in the prenuptial agreement. This settlement comes on the heels of some ugly early court proceedings where Jennifer called Bill an abusive, ganja addicted drunk. [Perez, Just Jared, Celebitchy]

Kimora Lee Simmons Is Not Going To Let Russell Be Another Deadbeat Dad

  • Russell Simmons is forking over $20,000 per daughter in child support to Kimora Lee, which seems about right when you take into account that they are not just children but living ambassadors of Fabulosity. [TMZ]
  • Naomi Campbell was kind enough to get arrested wearing one of Nelson Mandela's signature baseball caps, thus showering millions of dollars in free publicity on his AIDS awareness campaign, and this is the thanks she gets? [MSNBC]
  • Mary-Kate Olsen and Ben Kingsley make out in the new movie The Wackness and now the guy we all associate with one of modern history's foremost humanist visionaires is going around talking about how making out with someone 42 years younger than him was completely cool and she was "totally in charge." [People]
  • Miley Cyrus admits that her latest song "7 Things" is a very angry song, because it's about an ex-boyfriend, not a specific Jonas brotherly ex-boyfriend you understand, but just like a composite character ex-boyfriend, since anyone who's been around the block a few times knows that shitty guys generally adhere to a few typical patterns of behavior and also, hello, 15-year-old Disney teen idol confections maybe do not write their own songs. Not that their quotes don't sound like they do! "[It goes] through all the different stages of what's been going on the past couple years…It was like a little therapy moment for me." [People]

Does Miley Cyrus Represent A "Normal Weight"? • Tehran Opens "Gals Only" Park

Is Miley Cyrus good for girls' body image? A new study shows that almost half of the characters on children's programs are at a "normal weight." Hm, I've seen the Miley & Mandy show (I know), and that girls is a total waif.• Crisis: Australia is currently beating America for the "fattest country" title, are we really going to let a commonwealth beat us at the American tradition of being obese? • The Hula Hoop turns 50! • A tragic story about a 10-year-old boy who killed himself after he grew self-concious about wearing women's underwear and make-up. • In WTF news: A British man is fined $2,000 after his dog goes pee in his front lawn. Where is the little doggie supposed to do her business? In the toilet? • Mentally ill defendants who are found competent enough to stand trial can be denied the right to represent themselves during a trial. • That potential First Lady who isn't Michelle Obama is doing charity work for Operation Smile in Vietnam. • Tehran opened their first "ladies only" park last month (barftastically called "Mothers' Paradise") which allows Iranian women to remove their headscarves while on the premises. • Woo! A new pillow to help snorers! Oh, wait, it costs $129, crap. • Celebrity name changes! Portia de Rossi used to be Amanda Lee Rogers, bleh, and Snoop Dogg is also known as Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr. which sounds infinitely more bad-ass than "Snoop Dogg". • Jail staffers get their panties in a twist over having to stock women's underwear for transgendered male prisoners in juvie. Grow the fuck up, whiners.

Dismayed By Miley's Displays Of Sexuality, Disney Assembly Line Creates Two Replacements

We already suspected that the Disney factory manufactures tween starlets like plastic widgets, but we had no idea that production has gone into super overdrive since the Miley Cyrus/ Vanity Fair "nude" debacle. The Wall Street Journal reports that "Talent development has taken on new urgency since April, when Vanity Fair magazine published photos of the 15-year-old Ms. Cyrus with only a bedsheet covering her torso." Hannah Montana ratings have declined, the Journal points out, and so Disney is attempting to replace Miley with 15-year-old actress/singer Demi Lovato by using a "multimedia blitz that is aggressive even by Disney standards." So Lovato is being touted as the "New Miley," but just last month, another pretty, Texas-born Hispanic girl was declared heiress to the Cyrus juggernaut. People called Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez the next Miley, and it turns out that Lovato and Gomez (pictured here — Lovato is on the left) are "best friends" who have their own YouTube channel wherein they discuss things like their matching "True Love Waits" purity rings.

Billy Ray Cyrus On Scandalous Miley Pix: "The More You Stomp In Poop The More It Stinks"

Billy Ray Cyrus was on the Today show this morning, talking about the Vanity Fair/Annie Leibovitz shoot with his daughter, Miley Cyrus. Billy Ray was eloquent, in a country way, when he explained that he left the set before the much-discussed cover photograph was taken. "It felt like everything was in control," he says. "I didn't know they was gonna strip her down and wrap her with a blanket." Billy also claims that he didn't talk to Ms. Leibovitz or Vanity Fair when he found out about the pseudo-topless-looking image because "the more you stomp in poop, the more it stinks." He also said: "The turkey with the longest neck is gonna be the one everybody's shootin' at." Haha! Don't you miss Dan Rather? More »

Underage Starlets Sprout From Disney Factory Like Whack-A-Moles

Ever heard of Selena Gomez? The 15-year-old singer/actress is in the most recent issue of People and is being touted as "the new Miley Cyrus," since as we all know, Miley crossed the invisible, ever-changing line into Lolita-ville with her racy Vanity Fair spread. M. Gigi Durham, the author of The Lolita Effect: The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It, has no problem with Miley's burgeoning sexuality, she tells Salon today. But she does have a problem with the fact that Miley is being forced to explore it on a world stage. More »

This Week, People Scared Us And We Scared People

• We met an Austrian man who locked his daughter and their children in his cellar for 24 years. Sometimes the eyebrows can reveal the psychopath inside! • Sometimes we eat our trash, it is sort of like recycling! • We told old people to get off Facebook or at least un-tag us from unflattering boozy pictures! • Miley posed in a sort-of sexual picture in Vanity Fair, Disney blamed the lesbian. • But where was the widespread outrage when Annie Leibovitz was casually racist, again and again and again? • Tyra introduced us to a dad who not only pimps out his daughter but also gives her at-home bikini waxes. • We met 5 types of extreme shoppers, all of them annoying! • We met some scrappy young sorority girls who brand pledges in the groin with forks. • We took a look back at our favorite Tyra episodes with almost as much glee as she has in talking about herself. • We told Elisabeth Hasselbeck to STFU already. • We found out we aren't in a recession!

15-Year Old On Miley Cyrus: "I Don't Want To Be That"

So what do actual 15-year old girls think of the whole Miley Cyrus-Annie Leibovitz Vanity Fair shoot? The New York Times decided to ask some (specifically students at Manhattan's Beacon School), as featured in an article in today's Metro section. "My friend loves her," said one girl, "Well, she love-hates her. [And] she called her a slut [when she saw the Vanity Fair photos]." She went on. "Is this who we're supposed to be growing up to be? I don't want to be that. It's sending a message that girls are supposed to be whores. It's like you only get so many years to be a child, and then once you're an adult, you're an adult for, like, 100 years. That's it. Welcome to adulthood. There's no turning back." More »

Barbara Walters Talks Shit About Former View Co-Hosts

  • In her new memoir, Auditions, Baba Wawa gives the dirt on Star Jones' and Rosie O'Donnell's departures from the View; On Rosie: "The premise of 'The View' is that of a team working together, but for Rosie it was more like Diana Ross and the Supremes, as little by little she took over." [NYDN]
  • The problem with Miss Jones was not just her diva behavior (though Walters et. al. were embarrassed about her fiasco of a wedding to Big Gay Al) it was that Star made her View-mates lie about her gastric bypass. Walters writes: "Joy [Behar], in particular, resented having to go along with a lie that implied all one needed to do was situps and ingest one cookie instead of two."[NYDN]
  • The septuagenarian Babs is so scandalous! She also talks about her adulterous affair with Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke, the first black Senator since reconstruction. [NYDN]
  • Jimi Hendrix's sex tape? A hoax, cries the company that owns the rights to Jimi's music. Sigh. We'll always have Cynthia Plaster Caster. [Reuters]

the naked truth

Germaine Greer; Glamour Editor: Miley Cyrus Hubbub Is Hypocritical

Media folks continue to weigh in on the semi-racy photographs of Miley Cyrus, and while they make different, though mostly salient points, almost all the writers agree on one thing: Disney is a big fat hypocrite. Writer/feminist Germaine Greer points out that teen girls have been sexualized for eons. "In western art most of the women portrayed semi-clad or totally nude are children," Greer writes. "Their nipples are pallid and undeveloped, their breasts hard and veinless, their pubes unfurred." She also adds that the image of a naked, adolescent-figured 34-year-old Kate Moss freaks her out more than a backless Miley Cyrus, because "The icon of the 34-year-old mother qua 13-year-old virgin is even more disturbing than the sexy image of the 15-year-old Cyrus, because it is so much rarer and weirder."
