The MTV VMAs are coming up in a few weeks, which brings into perspective the whole cycle of Miley Cyrus rebellion. Last year’s show brought the raunchy twerk heard ’round the world and boosted Miley to her apex of notoriety. She got the controversy that she wanted even though she may have lost a Vogue cover because of it. What followed was a series of stunt queen acts designed to keep Miley in the news. She did several shoots with Terry Richardson and grinded on a wrecking ball. It worked out in the short run. Miley’s record sold well, and she made plenty of money on this tour.
I predict a long-term problem with Miley’s image. The problem is not that she has “matured” or gone too risqué. It’s that Miley threw so much stunt queening at us in such a short period of time. The internet has grown desensitized to her antics. No one cares anymore that she’s posting photos where she’s wearing see-thru nightgowns. That’s an issue for Miley, who needs attention all the time.
Against my better judgment (and because the news cycle is so slow), I’m going to pay some attention to Miley. She’s so thirsty for any reaction that she decided to pull down her pants and take a leak for Instagram. Seriously. This is a premeditated pee pose (#ppp). Miley handed her phone to someone and posed with her shorts around her ankles.
This photo was designed to shock and thrill the world, but I only feel sorry for Miley. She was on some #whitetrashrager (her tag, not mine) with a bunch of her buddies, including Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips (they grew tight when Miley toured Tulsa). Miley posted a series of these “camping” photos where she and assorted pals drank moonshine in a dilapidated, abandoned house. Miley made a huge deal about how the moonshine was 88 proof. She’s trying so hard to get your attention. Sad.

Too thirsty? What does that mean?
I’d guess thirsty for fame/attention.
See also, famewhore, Kim Kardashian, Kate Bosworth, Lindsey Lohan and whatsherface from TBBT.
Desperate.
Oh, that makes sense :). Thanks, guys.
Haha at first I thought it meant “too thirsty” like she’d had too much to drink and really needed a pee. Thanks for the clarification 🙂
That’s not real moonshine, and any southerner worth their weight would know that.
No comment on Miley. I care far more about moonshine. 😉
Lmao, same thing I thought! Label? On moonshine?! Pffffffft!!!
I’m a northerner and I know that lol
Hell, I’m Canadian, and I knew that, haha.
Why isn’t it real moonshine? They just added apple cider or juice to it. Edit: Oh it’s the label. Got it.
Everclear is 190 proof. It has the highest legal alcohol content. This so called “moonshine’ they were drinking was labeled 83 proof. Real moonshine is more potent than Everclear.
This right here. I made a grumpy face and I’m from Flori-bama.
My thought exactly! If you don’t but your moonshine from a toothless mountain man it ain’t moonshine.
Clever hand, true dat! Brings me back to misspent youthful vacations in the Blue Ridge Mntns. Oh, and our MM always put maraschino cherries in the bottom of his unlabeled Mason jars. We also got several jars from him every year as a Christmas present. Nice to meet another sister who knows her moonshine. *chuckles*
Not remotely real.
yeah, there’s this whole “moonshine” market nowadays, where it’s sold in “mason jars” as if it were the real thing. seen them in just about every bevvy store I go into (in New Jersey, which is not exactly a hotbed of moonshiners…)
just beverage companies trying to cash in, that’s all. lame.
Ha, that preppie little label just screams backwoods still.
@doofus, where in NJ? Because some of the backwoods south jersey towns are full of rednecks drinking moonshine.
Tru dat. Last moonshine I saw was in giant unlabeled glass jugs, the kind with the hole to hook your finger in. Maybe gallon? Some friends brought some back from, I believe, Kentucky or Tennessee. Anyway, I was going to try some until I smelled it, ick, nasty stuff way, way too strong for me and I used to love me some Jack Daniels.
Yea…pretty sure this artisian moonshine more likely came from Blake Livleys webstore than a backwoods still…but OK Miley
Yeah, it’s not moonshine unless you can light it on fire.
Keeping it classy as always.
Right? So interesting, too. Zzzzzzzz
I thought we were done talking about her? oh well. The moonshine, is that the kinda they mentioned in Season 3 of Justified?
I thought of the apple pie moonshine from Justified too!
Mags’ Apple Pie! Just be sure to bring your own glass…
Around here they soak jersey peaches in moonshine. Takes the edge off of the horrible moonshine taste.
That actually sounds good. I’ve had some with strawberries in it, but I couldn’t handle more than a sip.
That’s not even real moonshine.
She’s not really peeing either.
Thirsty Parched Pressed and in need of Gatorade to replenish her electrolytes and dry mouth candy …. In other words Go Home put on some clothes, chill and dont let us see you for a good 6 months, sis
Amen. But make it six years!
Yes, and does she actually write her own music; this is what happens when you are a corporate product – you go way overboard in trying to demonstrate otherwise and no one is fooled other than you’re tweener fans.
So true, QQ.
Also, if she is really peeing like that….she is pissing all over her shorts.
EWWWWWWWWWWW.
Is “disgusting and cretinous” taken?
It’s all fake with her hand down her pants to make it look provocative. It’s too yawn worthy for me to get to any emotion like disgust.
As someone who pees outside more than I should probably admit, it’s good to have your hand there to hold your shorts out of the line of fire. Now note that although I pee outside enough to know that, not once has anyone taken a picture of me doing it.
Lol. Moonshine by a company “ain’t” Moonshine. FACT!
Oh, good lord. Just stop. I know…you can’t stop, won’t stop, but I can dream, can’t I? That Island of Dr. Moreau Celebrity Edition sequel is just seeming like a better and better idea. Round em up and contain them- off the grid.
People are probably tired and desensitized to her antics. Much like with Gaga. I do feel a bit bad that her peak included super loser Thicke and that puss-filled boil Uncle Terry (you’d think you could only go up from there).
Unless Miley goes on stage at the VMAs and coughs up the charred remains of Hannah Montana, I’m no longer interested.
Saw somewhere that she has made more than $70 million this year
Ugh. I don’t understand how she and the Biebs are still relevant and have money. Why haven’t they blown their wad and are melting into obscurity. When I was in high school NKOTB were a thing, them and Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. My friends and I would try to distant ourselves from their music and their image. But if I had tweens today, I would be buying them NKOTB, Debbie Gibson, and Tiffany albums (if pop music was their thing). They were a little corny but harmless (and even though I could never admit it then, they had some fun tunes).
Debbie Gibson was my gurl! But I also balanced out her and NKOTB with a lot of metal. I’ll take Debbie and Tiffany over Miley any day.
If people still have money to throw at the likes of Miley then maybe we need a new world economic crisis. We need to have a proper financial education. The fact that Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber bring huge amounts of money from tours proves the world has money to indulge.
It proves the world is full of spoiled children and not much else.
I just want to pack up her to-go box full of self respect, chewing gum, and plastic McDonald’s straws and send her home.
I’d gladly help you.
I would have thought moonshine by a company was a contradiction of terms!
I can’t believe that whole twerking-on-Robyn-Thicke-(who?) thing was only a year ago!!
I know. Let’s not take a moment to think about that😜😳😣
No as thirsty as her photoshopping her face on Niki Minaj’s Anaconda album art and using it as her Twitter avitar.
I thought that too. NM was derided for stunt queening with that image so how pathetic does that make MC?
The only thing I could think of, while seeing the picture where she has her pants around her ankles, is: she could play the young Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) in a flashback episode of Sons of Anarchy.
you know what is not so edgy and cool? thinking you are so edgy and cool and documenting every minute of it.
poppin a squat is what i call my dog going number 2. that and invisible toilet.
i too can over share. #edgy+cool
Invisible toilet is hilarious. I will never look at the dog the same way again.
Isn’t she gone already? I thought we were through with her.
I’m from Mississippi and that’s not moonshine and that label clearly says 83 not 88 miley
I came here to find out what *pop a squat* meant.
Thank you.
It’s when you don’t have bathroom available and squat down exactly as she is to relieve yourself. Not something that should be posted anywhere for any reason though. Disgusting and desperate.
Pffft. You’re gonna have to try harder than that to shock me, girl.
I grew up in a small town in Alabama and that just looks like a normal weekend from my teenage years. Except for the apple pie “moonshine”. I’ve had REAL moonshine. Take that, Miley!! LOL
Second this – I grew up in NE Mississippi – this was just a weekend for everyone
I grew up in Southern California and guess what, we got drunk in the woods too. She’s not doing anything special but she sure seems to think it’s amazing.
This is pretty tame, nothing outrageous.
My Pappaw made moonshine with his brothers and daddy in the barn (funny story – once the chickens got in the mash and all got drunk). This isn’t moonshine.
I would have found all this more “edgy” and ALOT more interesting if an ax-weilding maniac had been involved in thier overnite stay in an abandoned hose deep in the woods…
Isn’t it supposed to be a guy with a hook for a hand….., maybe I’ve watched too much Arrested Development.
Aw, this wasn’t so shocking. I squat out in the woods all the time lol. She was just goofing with friends. Fully clothed. This was tame and not very desperate.
OMGosh! Lol!
From the headline, “popped a squat”…I read as “pooped a squat” and I was horrified thinking she took a pic of herself taking a poo! Gah!
Then my next thought was… “It makes sense…for her”
And oooohh mmaaan! I just thought of something.
Who’s to say she meant #1?
Gahhh! She is o, so gross!!!!
What’s funny about this is that I thought to myself, ‘there’s nothing more she can do to shock people, unless she’s prepared to pull down her pants and let the world see her going to the bathroom.’ She was already ahead of me.
She looks just like Justin. That is all.
Thirsty.
And obviously I’m in the minority here because I feel a wee bit sorry for her. In the sense that it must hurt to go from being everywhere, to barely a year later being used up and shat out already. I know she’s been in the limelight for so long so it shouldn’t bother her but her star didn’t really shine until last year ( when it wasn’t just teens paying attention to her anymore) and now no one cares. Taking pop a squat photos so people will talk about you? That’s just sad.
I don’t feel sorry for her, she choose to be an exhibitionist and it gets old quickly. She could have continued building her music career and instead she went for shock value and short term attention. She’s wasting her time with a lot of silly nonsense nobody wants to hear about, she should stick to making music and stop trying so hard.
you can buy that stuff in the store. i saw it in winn-dixie!
Her rescheduled concert was on Sunday here is STL. I live a couple of blocks away from the venue were she performed. When she was HM, traffic was insane, radio stations had DJ’s out doing live broadcasts and everyone was lining up hours before. Last night…crickets. She might have made money because her Live Nation deal from front ended, but I believe she is fading. THANKS LIAM ;).
I never minded Miley and her schtick tbh, but it got old already. I want her to be done with the Bangerz tour soon, take a break and come back to her normal self.
Why do singers make the same mistakes over and over again? I thought Gaga should’ve taught kids going for an over-the-top schtick works to get the media talking about you, but only for a short while. The crazier the schtick, the faster it gets old.
What a complete piece of garbage. That is all.
Too bad a “Cabin in the Woods” didn’t happen to her while she was there.. lol
