Miley Cyrus Says Her MTV Twerk Was Iconic
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Awards, Gossip, Performances, Pop,
Miley Cyrus claims she made history like Madonna and Britney Spears with her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. The "We Can't Stop" singer made a provocative appearance at the event in New York City last month wearing a skin coloured latex bikini and "twerking" up to Robin Thicke while sticking her tongue out and posing suggestively with a foam hand, but despite provoking outrage she claims the performance will go down as a pivotal moment in the event's history.
"I don't pay attention to the negative because I have seen this play out. How many times have we seen this play out in pop music? You know now ... you know what's happened. Madonna's done it, Britney's done it. Every VMA performance, anyone that performs ... That's what you are looking for. You want to make history. Me and Robin, the whole time, said, 'You know you are about to make history right now?'" she said in an interview with MTV.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Awards, Gossip, Performances, Pop, R&B / Soul,
Kelly Osbourne wished Miley Cyrus had "put her tongue in her mouth" during her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The 28-year-old star has given her close friend some words of advice following her racy appearance with Robin Thicke at the VMAs on Sunday, which featured her twerking and grinding against Robin during their rendition of his hit "Blurred Lines." Miley, 20, also repeatedly licked her lips as she danced in a two-piece, flesh coloured latex bikini and rubbed herself suggestively with a foam finger.
During a special episode of Fashion Police which aired on Monday night, Kelly's co-stars, including Joan Rivers, criticized Miley's risque appearance - which left many famous faces in the audience at the VMAs, such as Taylor Swift and One Direction star Niall Horan, stunned.
Kelly insisted she loved her pal before offering her words of wisdom, saying, "I look at the performance and yes, I do have a lot of the same opinions as you guys about it ... Look Miley's my friend and I love her, and I have her back no matter what, but as her friend I'm going to tell her - put your f***ing tongue in your mouth! I love you, but just put your tongue in your mouth."

Katy Perry was denied permission to perform on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.
The 28-year-old singer is closing the MTV Video Music Awards tonight and was forced to come up with a new plan for her debut performance of her new single "Roar" after city officials refused to approve a permit to allow her to take over the iconic landmark.
"She was supposed to perform on top of the Brooklyn Bridge but the city wouldn't give her the permit," a source said. Katy, whose new single sold 557,000 digital downloads in its first week of release, has now agreed to sing underneath the bridge instead.
Other performers at tonight's ceremony will include Lady Gaga, who will open the show, Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, as well as Justin Timberlake, who will perform his new track "Take Back The Night" as well as a medley of *NSYNC hits with his old bandmates.

The group - which also included Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick - are set to reunite at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday to celebrate Justin being presented with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for his contributions to the music industry.
"They're doing a performance. I think it's exciting. I couldn't even say why he's doing it though. Why, at this point in his life. Now he's his own man. But it's more to the fact that MTV has made them all somewhat of stars, and also made Justin a star," Joseph Fatone Sr. told RadarOnline. However, Joseph admitted he doesn't know the exact details, adding, "I don't even know what has gone into this performance... I plead the fifth. I would suggest that you tell all your readers and everyone on the Internet, all your social media, tell them to watch!"

Lady Gaga only feels truly alive when she's on stage.
The singer - who is set to give her first live rendition of her new single "Applause" from her album ARTPOP at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York City this Sunday - finds meaning to her existence when is performing: "When I'm not on stage I don't feel alive. But when I hit the stage it's like everything that I'm thinking and feeling, where I belong - that's where it is."
But the eccentric star doesn't think she is different from anyone else, because most people have creative energy they want to release. "I don't think I am different from anybody else. I think everyone with their location and their job and what they do, their passion, feel the same way I do. It's sort of like we are endlessly obsessing about what we are creating and then the explosion is the moment where we get to share," she explained.
The pop genius was forced to take time out after hip surgery to correct a tear and breakage inside the joint in February and consequently cancelled the remaining dates on her Born This Way Ball, and now she is very excited about getting back to work.

Freddie isn't the only Brit Psy - real name Park Jae-sang - credits for helping him becoming famous as he revealed "Candy" singer Robbie Williams helped thrust him into the limelight after sharing his first single via his official Twitter account: "Robbie was one of the first to tweet 'Gangnam Style' so I feel I owe him a lot."
