I can't remember the last time I've watched anything involving MTV. But it appears from the reaction by Cindy on Facebook and even stars at the MTV Music Video Awards last night that the former Disney performer has gone completely rauch. Facebooks Cindy: "Today I am thankful that I'm not Miley Cyrus's mother. And I think Miley should give Gene Simmons his tongue back." And: "I'm wondering if sales of foam hands are soaring? Apparently, most of us haven't been using them correctly." Here's how CBS News described the performance:

There's a lot to say about Miley Cyrus' provacative booty-shaking, twerk-heavy MTV Video Music Awards performance from Sunday night. This was one performance that won't be forgotten very quickly. This after Cyrus gave Robin Thicke a lap dance, paraded around with dancing bears, twerked her butt off and grabbed her crotch a few times. Not to mention the tongue. We saw a lot of that. More here.

Question: Why would a young star who has raked in multi-millions debase herself with this kind of performance?
