Unless you’ve been living under a rock — or have no Internet connection, same difference — you’ve either seen or heard about Miley Cyrus’s ‘twerk’ performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. After all, CNN devoted an obscene amount of time to covering the ex-“Hannah Montana” sweetheart, so it must be big news.
In any case, Miley should know that Joan Rivers is not impressed.
Miley Cyrus at the VMAs last night reminds me of Candyland – the easiest game in town and everyone gets a turn. Tune in at 9pm ET for more!

Did you see @MileyCyrus on the VMA’s? Does her tongue hanging out mean she’s dehydrated?

Re: Miley- the commodification of women of color deserves big discussion. “Hey, someone put a shirt on this dumb bitch!” doesn’t.
