There’s a rumor going ’round this fine morning that Miley Cyrus will use her hosting/musical guest privileges tonight on Saturday Night Live to escalate her feud with Sinéad O’Connor to DEFCON 6. This will most likely entail, explains the magpie contracted to spy on NBC’s Studio 8H, a Weekend Update routine and possibly a Miley homage to O’Connor’s 1992 musical guest appearance on SNL when she tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II.
That’s right — Miley Cyrus may tear up a picture of Sinéad O’Connor, mainly for two reasons: first, His Current Popishness doesn’t seem like too bad a dude, and second, pop music has degenerated so much over the last 20 years that a stage that once offered an opportunity for political protest will now offer the opportunity for escalating a petty grievance. Be prepared. [Hollywood Life]
