It didn’t take Liam Hemsworth’s new piece any time at all to receive attention from Us Weekly. Eiza Gonzalez has received a 5 Things to Know feature, which confirms what many of you noticed from yesterday’s before-and-after pics — girl has had some work done. Ah well.
Miley Cyrus is laying low since the breakup announcement and hasn’t been papped at all. Her Twitter page reveals she’s been rehearsing with backup singers. Miley also noted that “Wrecking Ball” is #1 all over the place. The naked video worked wonders.
#1 on Billboard. #1 on iTunes. #1 on Spotify. #1 on Streaming. #1 on Digital songs. #1 most added to pop radio. #1 on VEVO. #WreckingBall

There’s still plenty of controversy to be had regarding that video and Miley’s VMA performance. Cher (who is promoting her own upcoming album) stated that she is most certainly not a fan of Miley’s onstage antics:
On Miley’s VMA performance: “I don’t give a s–t if she comes out naked. Just be better, do better. Maybe she’s thrilled and delighted–everyone’s talking about it,” she said. “And so, that’s almost as good as it being great, you know. Especially kind of in this day and age. It doesn’t make any difference if you’re good. It just makes a difference if people are talking about it. I’m not old-fashioned. She could have come out naked, and if she’d just rocked the house, I would have said, ‘You go, girl.’ It just wasn’t done well. She can’t dance, her body looked like hell, the song wasn’t great, one cheek was hanging out. And, chick, don’t stick out your tongue if it’s coated.”
Will Cher twerk for us? “I don’t want to. I mean, I could if I wanted to. But, you know, if it looks like that I don’t think I’m interested. I’ve seen other girls do it better.”

You know, I was with Cher up until the moment when she decided to say Miley’s “body looked like hell.” It’s true that Miley’s not much of a dancer, and “We Can’t Stop” is a lame song. Yes the bottom half of Miley’s costume was too small, so there was a lot of cheek showing. I’ll even get behind the criticism of Miley needing to brush her tongue before letting it hang into the next zip code. The body shaming though? Not cool.
Cher quickly caught wind of the fact that her statements made it to print. To her credit, she admitted to being “ashamed” of her words:
Re:Miley S….I Think What I Think,but Having Said That…I'm a little ashamed (which is Total bullsh-t,how can u B a LITTLE ASHAMED) that

Pink also had something to say to E! Online about Miley’s act: “I think it’s tacky. She’s really freaking talented, she’s beautiful. She can sing her ass 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.” Pink nailed it.
One final detail for today’s Miley update. Paula Patton visited “Today” and was asked about Miley’s twerking. Paula’s response? She twerked all over Al Roker. I guess she’s still cool with it!
