Miley Cyrus cries while singing Wrecking Ball into a banana-shaped microphone

Miley Cyrus this weekend broke down in tears – while wearing a string vest and some nipple stickers, and what looks like a supportive jock strap, and while singing into a microphone shaped like a banana – while performing Wrecking Ball. You’d be forgiven for thinking Miley was crying because of her outfit, microphone choice and the direction her life is going in, but she wasn’t.

No, instead Miley was crying because of all of the emotions she was feeling while singing a song that was a not-very-coded account of her raw and recently ended relationship with Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth.

The Wanted dump Justin Bieber from album because his song 'didn't fit

Have The Wanted just committed career suicide? Apparently the fivesome have decided to scrap a collaboration with Justin Bieber on their upcoming album because the tune didn't work. Justin is reportedly now sitting in a dark room, topless, drawing bullseyes on his The Wanted 2012 calendar, and crying.
So what happened, The Wanted? Where did it all go so terribly, terribly wrong? What reason could you possibly give for why the Biebster is now making his tiny moustache all soggy with his tears?
Max George explained: "We did a song with Justin. I think it was a great song and he did an amazing job writing it, but I think it was very much more suited to his style."
Ouch. The band quickly tried to soothe those wounds by saying Justin was "too humble" to ever give them advice on handling their new-found fame.
"He's not someone who really gives advice like that because I think he just appreciates what's happened to him rather than thinks he's, y'know, God," continued Max. "We talk about… football, or basketball. Or, you know, normal stuff."
The boys also discussed why their album has been pushed back (and back and back), and apparently it's nothing to do with Justin Bieber repeatedly calling their house late at night and hanging up until they suffered too much sleep deprivation to drag themselves into a recording studio, and everything to do with them having musical integrity.
"I think that we weren't ready a year ago. It just wasn't ready; the songs weren't finished," said Siva Kaneswaran.
"We want to put out the best of us and we are ready now and every song is so personal and we've all aged as writers, and it's very mature ... and it's the best album yet."
Word of Mouth is due out on November 4th. Can't wait that long? Occupy your time by looking at these alternative uses of Justin Bieber's very thin 'tache.

Rihanna with the Loris in question.

Rihanna takes a picture of a slow loris so hard that two people are arrested

Clothes-shunning popstress Rihanna has saved an endangered slow loris from captivity using the power of her Instagram alone. This happened. This actually happened.

For those of you not au fait with Rihanna’s gruelling tour schedule, she is currently taking a brief, rare break from her infinite Diamonds tour, a break she is enjoying in the south-east of Asia. DON’T DRINK ANYTHING THAT COMES IN A BUCKET, RIHANNA. DO NOT EAT THE ‘MIXED MEAT’.

Anyway, once there, she took a selfie with a slow loris because of course she took a selfie with a slow loris she is Rihanna, and in doing so she inadvertently led to two people being arrested.

Miley Cyrus draws attention to her nipples in yet another raunchy outfit

Another day another ‘Miley-Cyrus-being-shocking’ incident – and this time it involves her nipples.

Miley showed up to the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas in a white mesh mini dress with her skimpy knickers on display, but it was her nipples – hidden behind what looks like rubber molded covers – that got the most attention. 

While Miley looked really happy with her outfit, but it’s bound to get all those Miley haters out there in a bit of a tizz.

Art v Tack

It seems that recently everyone’s had their say on Miley’s new mature image. From Cher to her own dad, plenty of showbiz stars have spoken out about Miley - some complimenting her and some not.

Dad Billy Ray said recently, “She's evolving as an artist herself. I think that is what everyone is calling controversy now. That's still my Miley.”

While the likes of Cher and Pink have blasted the young star’s new look, with Pink even calling Miley tacky.

“Am I into it? No, I think it's tacky,” admitted the So What singer. “She's really freaking talented. She's beautiful. She can sing her arse off and to go up there and do that?

“She's cheating herself and she's cheating the rest of us… She can do what she wants. People can like it if they want. I'm not going to buy it. She can do better. I've seen her do better.”

What do you think of Miley's latest attempt to prove that she's all grown up now?

Greg James gets naked and straddles a wrecking ball and says: ‘Miley Cyrus is ludicrous’

Greg James has opened up about that time he got naked and tried to embed a wrecking ball in his tenderness by saying he did it “to show how completely ridiculous” Miley Cyru has been acting lately. A thing he did by copying entirely. He did a ridiculous thing to highlight how ridiculous the thing is. It… it makes sense, okay? Don’t overthink it.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Greg joked about the spoof video he made in the wake of Wrecking Ball-gate, saying Miley would “probably quite turned on” by his clammy, naked hardware swinging.

Here's that naked picture of Greg James you asked for

“On a simple level, the only reason I did it was to make people laugh,” Greg ROFL’d. “I wanted to show how completely ludicrous that video is… by making an absolute fool of myself.

“But it seems to have gone down quite well. I’m quite pleased with it. I think [Miley] would probably be quite turned on.” If you look at what she did to Robin Thicke’s trousers, Greg, you’d know that Miley Cyrus is perennially turned on. Like a thin, naked, horny dog.

"I spoke to my dad afterwards and he said, 'Well done, I think it was very good',” Greg continued. “I said, 'Do you think it was as good as the original?' and he went, 'What original?'

The boys

"He didn't even know what Miley Cyrus was. So he'd seen mine and thought it was an original composition... that's proof that parents love you no matter what you do." That’s what Billy Ray Cyrus is trying to tell himself, yes.

Greg is also set to present BBC Three show Staying in with Greg & Russell with Russell Kane, who is 33 years old and who added, thirty-three-ily: “I think Miley would be jealous that there's someone with more feminine buttocks.

“I don't know if you've seen that movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where you can erase a memory? After I watched Greg's video, I did check to see if that was real. I've been in counselling because I saw the unedited ones where there's a glimpse of pube." Keep trying, Russell Kane.
