Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Performances, Pop,

Miley Cyrus has defended her use of little people as backing dancers.

The "We Can't Stop" star is accompanied by short people on stage for her current Bangerz Tour, but insists they are employed to have fun rather than just because of their height.

Talking to MSNBC's Ronan Farrow, she said, "We're making them feel sexual and beautiful." Speaking more specifically about one of the dancers, she added, "We're all about lifting her up and making her feel so sexy all the time, and having her dance - she's actually an awesome dancer. They're just like dancing, doing these cute moves and they're awesome dancers just on their own. It's not me telling them how to be. It's really funny how serious people take it. And [people are] like, 'You're racist.' And I'm like, 'Really?' We're like a bunch of kids dancing around in, like, bear [suits], we don't do choreography."

Miley Cyrus Blasts Tour Critics

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Rumors, Pop,

Miley Cyrus has hit back at critics who have called for her Bangerz Tour to be canceled.

The 21-year-old singer kicked off her raunchy world tour in Vancouver, Canada, last week and has come under fire for antics such as simulating a sex act on a man wearing a Bill Clinton mask, but Miley insists she gave fans a pre-warning her shows would be X-rated.

"You can't say I didn't warn you. Now sit back relax & enjoy the show. #bangerztour [sic]," she wrote on Twitter yesterday. The tweet was accompanied by a picture of Miley on stage in a revealing outfit exposing her butt.

The "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker then blasted her critics by telling them to "save" their outrage. "Save your complaints for the McDonalds drive thru when they forget the 'fries with that' [sic]," she quipped.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Performances, Pop,

Miley Cyrus appeared through a replica of her own mouth to open her Bangerz Tour in Canada last night.

The "We Can't Stop" star entered through an opening in a picture of her face and slid down a huge pink tongue extending to the stage on the opening night of the tour in Vancouver. The controversial singer showed off plenty of sexy dance moves including Twerking - the butt shaking dance she popularized last year - up against a giant blue teddy bear, rubbing her crotch, riding a hot dog and sucking on a foam finger.

The "Party in the USA" hitmaker opened the show in a red studded two-piece, before changing into a leotard printed with marijuana leaves and wearing a golden cannabis leaf around her neck, which she paired with white cowboy boots. She admitted her nerves before the performance, tweeting, "I don't know if it's Valentines Day or #BangerzTour but I'm most definitely having a panic attack."
