Okay, Miley Cyrus . The Gregory Brothers have taken you up on your request. While defending her controversial (read: naked) Wrecking Ball video , Miley Cyrus told critics to focus not so much on her lack of clothing, but more on her raw emotion. The track is “vulnerable,” Cyrus said in a radio interview yesterday, and folks needs to dig “deeper into their imagination” if they wish to understand it. Fair enough, this country band has seemingly responded. Wrecking Ball: Covered by The Gregory Brothers They’ve recorded their own version of the song and featured fewer sledgehammer or actual wrecking balls while doing so. Take a listen above and compare it to Miley’s original.
After the fire-twerk fail prank and Miley Cyrus’s noassatall performance at the VMA’s, the world may finally be done with the tweaking phenomenon. While hosting…
While Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball dominates the Internet and Katy Perry “Roars” all over the radio, another young singer is dominating record sales. Ariana Grade debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with Yours Truly , a set of ’90s-inspired R&B tracks that many have compared to vintage Mariah Carey. Ariana Grande – The Way ft. Mac Miller Grande’s album sold 138,000 copies last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, followed closely by Tamar Braxton’s Love & War , with sales of 114,000. The sky appears to be the limit for the talented 20-year-old. Ariana, who scored a summer hit with “The Way” (above) and is on the verge of another with “Baby I” is the first female to debut at No. 1 since Ke$ha in 2010. She’s also been the subject of celebrity gossip news, courtesy of alleged flirty texts from Justin Bieber .

Huh? Robin Thicke Talks About His Marriage His marriage is dysfunctional from time to time when Paula gets slizzard , but hey these two love birds really seem to get it poppin’. According To Radar Online Even the lines in Robin Thicke‘s marriage are blurred. The singer calls his union to wife Paula Patton “the greatest love of the century, and the most functional, dysfunctional marriage in Hollywood,” in a new interview with Star. “I knew she was special the night I met her,” said the R&B singer, whose father is Growing Pains star Alan Thicke. “I was only 14, but she was already the most special girl. “As a relationship progresses, you fall in love again in so many deeper ways,” said Robin, who appeared alongside his stunning model wife in the video for his 2006 hit, Lost Without U. “You realize that you need each other and you can’t live without each other. Thicke took it in stride when asked about the photo in which he was goosing a fan following a MTV VMAs bash last month. “My only comment about the so-called scandalous photo would be that my wife and I are perfectly in love and very happily married. “So, no complaints there.” Asked how he and his wife would explain, to their 3-year-old son Julian, his more salacious work — including cavorting in front of nude models in the mega-hit Blurred Lines video, and being on the receiving end of Miley Cyrus’ now-famous VMAs twerking — Robin, brushed it off as an occupational hazard. “We’re not teachers and lawyers,” he said. “Mommy has shown her naked body for roles and Daddy has been around naked bodies, it’s just what we do.” “I’m sure he’ll get a little ribbing at school, but at least Mommy looks great naked and Daddy’s song was a hit! If Robin likes it…we love it.
It was only a matter of time. With Charlie Hunnam talking about the “tangible chemistry” he felt with co-star Dakota Johnson, a fan has put it to the test. Sort of. In the following Fifty Shades of Grey trailer, we get a not-entirely-accurate sense of how the actors cast as Christian and Ana might work as an on-screen duo. Using spliced-together clips of their previous roles, of course: 50 Shades of Grey Trailer (Fan-Made) Dakota Johnson is not expected to go blonde, nor will Charlie Hunnam (also seen in last night’s Sons of Anarchy Season 6 premiere ) look as young as this. Still, one has to hand it to the creator of this mashup of some of their sexiest scenes in this trailer, giving fans a taste of what to expect next summer. It may be months before we get a real Fifty Shades of Grey trailer (the Super Bowl on February 2 feels like a good time), so these will have to do for now. Not that there’s a shortage of them. Check out another fan-made effort amusingly, featuring no leads at all (just a lot of sexy imagery) after the jump: 50 Shades of Grey Fan-Made Trailer
Courtney Love is on Team Miley. With the 20-year old artist under heavy flak for an arguably racist VMA routine – followed by a raunchy, naked ” Wrecking Ball ” video – the former Hole singer told The New York Post last night that critics have been too hard on Cyrus. “That hillbilly Miley Cyrus is sort of punk in a weird sex way,” Love told the crowd at the Dream Downtown during a set to celebrate Scott Lipps’ book “PopLipps,” adding of Miley’s infamous Video Music Awards performance: “It was openly sexual… like dark and hillbilly and [bleeped] up.” Sure, we guess. Love, however, had far less kind things to say about Katy Perry and Robin Thicke. ” Katy Perry bores the [bleep] out of me,” she told the newspaper. “She’s a nice girl, she just really bores me.” As for Thicke, Miley’s “Blurred Lines” duet partner? Love isn’t a fan. “Can someone inform me who Alan Thicke’s son is?” she asked. “Like what? Wasn’t [he on] Charles in Charge ? That’s like Jared Leto trying to convince me he’s a rock star.”
The long-rumored Breaking Bad spinoff is a go at AMC. It will focus on Bob Odenkirk’s hilariously shady lawyer character Saul Goodman under the working title Better Call Saul , according to reports. The network confirmed the Breaking Bad spinoff and that a licensing deal has been reached between Sony Pictures Television and creator Vince Gilligan. The one-hour drama will serve as a prequel, focusing on “the evolution” of Saul “before he ever became Walter White’s lawyer,” according to AMC. Saul’s fate – and everyone else’s – remains a mystery as Breaking Bad nears the finish line September 29. Only three episodes of the drama remain.
Look past the nudity, people. And appreciate the raw emotion. That’s the message Miley Cyrus is sending in her first comments since ” Wrecking Ball ” took the Internet by storm Monday, earning over 19 million viewers in two days and once again making Cyrus the most buzzed-about celebrity in Hollywood. Miley Cyrus Takes Wrecking Ball to Her Career Explained Miley on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show today: “The song is a pop ballad that everyone can relate to; everyone has felt that feeling at some point.” “If people can take their minds off the obvious and go deeper into their imagination and see what the video really means, it is so vulnerable.” It’s also filled with images of Miley naked and licking a sledgehammer . “If you look at my eyes, I look more sad than actually my voice sounds on the record,” Cyrus says. “It was a lot harder to do the video than it was to record the song.” “It was much more of an emotional experience.” It’s true. There are tears in the singer’s eyes, which at least one outlet attributes to thoughts of Liam Hemsworth and that fragile relationship. As far as her image, the radio hosts named Miley the Queen of Twerking, which prompted a laugh and this response from the “Wrecking Ball” singer: “For me, anything I do becomes such a big deal. I’m just having fun. Whatever people label it as it doesn’t really matter. I always want to switch it up.” What do you think of Miley’s latest effort to do so?
On second thought, Bethenny Frankel does feel sort of bad for Teresa Giudice. Or at least the reality star’s four children. The talk show host made headlines a few weeks ago when she said she has no sympathy for Giudice or her husband Joe because they broke the law and went on television and “that’s not really smart.” But in a sit-down with Andy Cohen on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live this week, Frankel changed her tune slightly. Watch clips from her interview now and find out what Bethenny has heard about Teresa’s future and how she doesn’t wish that fate on anyone: Bethenny Frankel on Watch What Happens Live In late July, Teresa and Joe were indicted on 39 counts of fraud , stemming from allegations that they lied about their assets and forged both mortgage and bankruptcy documents. If convicted, they face up to 50 years in jail.
Sadie Robertson, Willie’s teen daughter on Duck Dynasty, said during her New York Fashion Week runway debut that she’s praying for Miley Cyrus. The high school sophomore, walking the runway in the Sherri Hill fashion show, and her dad spoke with Fox News about growing up in the spotlight. “It’s tough. You know, the whole world is different now, everyone knows who you are,” Willie Robertson said. “It wasn’t the way we were raised.” “We’ll put it in the Lord’s hands so we’ll see what happens.” Sadie won’t be following in Miley Cyrus “Wrecking Ball” footsteps, that’s for sure. “My family has been praying for (Miley Cyrus) and her family,” she said. “We all feel very bad for her because we know how entertainment can get wrapped up in your head.” “We try to stay strong as a family and pray that their family comes together.” As for Sadie’s thoughts on Miley Cyrus Twerking and so forth? “I would never twerk in public,” the 16-year-old said . “It is not modest to me but for the girls out there that do, it’s their decision.” Miley Cyrus Takes Wrecking Ball to Her Career Sadie is pursuing her own dreams made possible thanks to her family’s reality show as Sherri Hill asked her to be a spokesmodel for her line of prom dresses. She’s also collaborating on her own line – with her dad’s approval. “Me and my mother and my grandma went to Sherri Hill’s place and we all picked out ‘daddy approved length,” Sadie said of the designer dresses. “She also added a couple inches to some that we loved but weren’t modest.” The Duck Dynasty dad may have chosen to stay in the family duck call business, but he also encourages his daughter to pursue her own goals. “Sadie can do whatever she wants to do. She’s got a bunch of opportunities right now with the business but we’ll see,” he said. “I don’t want to be them in a slot.” “I just want them to do whatever they want.”
