Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus, reaching out to
touch his crotch with a foam finger
Singer and actress, Gloria Loring, has slammed 20-year-old former
Disney star gone wild, Miley Cyrus, for gyrating on her son, Robin
Thicke, 36, at last night's Video Music Awards. Cyrus is being heavily
criticized today by many for rubbing against Thicke and touching his
crotch on stage.
Loring stated, "I don't understand what Miley Cyrus is trying
to do. I think she's misbegotten in this attempt of hers. And I think
it was not beneficial. "I didn't get what her point was. It was so
over the top as to almost be a parody of itself."
I missed the VMAs, but saw a clip of the aforementioned performance
on Twitter today and it went too far. As usual, the VMAs are pushing
the boundaries for television ratings, rather than focusing on talent,
music and creative videos. It was inappropriate turning the awards
ceremony into a strip show, especially so early in the night with kids
watching, but even worse that it was done with a woman just out of her
teens and a married man. It was disrespectful to his wife.
Will Smith and family were stunned. Little Jaden Smith

Miley has a nice voice and entertaining comedic acting skills. She
didn't need to do this (no one does for that matter). This is not the
kind of attention an artist should want. It's the type untalented ones
like
Madonna
crave and hound, as there exists no ability behind their name to
attract real applause for their works. Cyrus can do better.

Parents groups and ironically a number of celebrities have panned
the performance. Once again, another former Disney star is going in the
wrong direction and it is sad. The government needs to investigate what
they are doing to these kids at Disney, why they fly off the rails more
than most when they hit adulthood.
In other news, Robin Thicke was seen grabbing the behind of a woman
at the VMAs when he thought the camera wasn't watching. However a
mirror picked up the whole thing and he has some explaining to do, you
know, especially considering he's married and all...

Parents Television Council isn't happy with Miley
Cyrus' VMAs performance
Aug 26, 2013 at 1:53PM - One group of people definitely not happily
twerking alongside Miley Cyrus? The Parents Television Council, who
have released a statement condemning her VMA performance. "MTV has once again succeeded in marketing sexually charged
messages to young children using former child stars and condom
commercials — while falsely rating this program as appropriate for
kids as young as 14. This is unacceptable," said PTC Director of
Public Policy Dan Isett in a release.
"This much is absolutely clear: MTV marketed adults-only
material to children while falsely manipulating the content rating to
make parents think the content was safe for their children. MTV
continues to sexually exploit young women by promoting acts that
incorporate ‘twerking’ in a nude-colored bikini. How is this image
of former child star Miley Cyrus appropriate for 14-year-olds? How is
it appropriate for children to watch Lady Gaga strip down to a bikini
in the opening act? How is it appropriate for 14-year-olds to see a
condom commercial and a promo for an R-rated movie during the first
commercial break?"
"This content would likely not be given a forum if it were on a
broadcast network," the statement continued. "Yet MTV
continues to push limits because it’s a cable network. But that does
not mean MTV’s decisions have no consequences, especially for the
millions of children who were targeted by MTV. We urge Congress to pass
the Television Consumer Freedom Act which will give parents and
consumers a real solution for future MTV VMA programs – the ability
to choose and pay for cable networks that they want vs. having to pay
for networks they don’t want. After MTV’s display last night, it’s
time to give control back to consumers."
