Miley Cyrus Caught On Tape Smoking Through A Bong

Anthony Jones – Celebrity News Service Reporter

Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) – Miley Cyrus says she can’t be tamed, and with the release of a new video showing her smoking out of a bong and having what she describes as a “bad trip,” that’s more clear than ever.

In a video posted by TMZ, Cyrus is seen at a party at her L.A. home just five days after her 18th birthday. She can be seen smoking the herb salvia through a bong. Salvia, which has psychedelic qualities, is legal in California.

“I’m having a little bit of a bad trip,” Cyrus says before lying down and then questions a male at the party if he’s her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, whom she co-starred with in “The Last Song.”

“Oh my God, he looks like so much like Liam,” she says, before breaking into a laughing fit. “Is that me tripping? He doesn’t look like Liam at all?”

Miley then breaks into an impromptu rap, imitating Nicki Minaj’s verses in the Trey Songz collaboration, “Bottoms Up.”

The video was shot by one of Miley’s friends. Someone reportedly stole the video off Miley’s friend’s camera and sent it into TMZ.

To add to the recent Miley scandals, some alleged nude pics of her were just leaked online. Also, while celebrating her 18th birthday last month, pictures of Cyrus leaked where an unknown male was seen kissing on her neck.

2010 Spoilers: A List of the New Decade’s Best Young Music Producers

Sorry for the spoilers, but here is a list of three producers who are going to be the biggest names in popular music production in the upcoming decade. You heard it here first.

Benny Blanco

At only 21 years old, Benjamin Levin aka Benny Blanco has done remixes and production work for some of the biggest names in electro, hip-hop and dance, from Kylie Minogue to Justince to Jordin Sparks to Britney Spears. This youngster has the added experience of being friends with some of the hipper artists in the industry, from Baltimore rap group Spank Rock to seedy LA rapper Mickey Avalon. Look for Benny Blanco to stay one step ahead in the fast paced music production industry. Bringing some of the most unique and fun beats to the radio.

Dr. Luke

Lukasz Gottwald also known as Dr. Luke or Kasz is an American songwriter, producer and remixer who has worked under legendary Swedish producer Max Martin for several years, co-producing such hits like “Since U Been Gone” for Kelly Clarkson and “Girlfriend” by Avril Lavigne. Dr. Luke played guitar in the Saturday Night Live Band for ten seasons, leaving in the 2006-2007 season to focus on his work as a producer for dance and hip hop tracks. . With his recent work for artists as varied as Adam Lambert to Mos Def to Miley Cyrus, Dr. Luke is a production force to be reckoned with and he will for sure be around for a long time.

RedOne

RedOne is the name for Moroccan-Swedish producer and songwriter Nadir Khayat who studied European pop music in the early 21st century and has brought that sound to the States for some of the biggest hits of the past decade including “Just Dance”, “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance” for Lady Gaga as well as work with Akon, Sean Kingston, Cassie, Lil Jon and Usher. RedOne is definitely going to be an up-and-coming pop music producer to watch out for in the States. He has already broken into popular hip-hop and R&B production so look for him to show his dominance in the coming years.

Worst Artists of 2009 – Songs that Annoy Me Half to Death

Their songs are overplayed, they’re super overrated, and their music is just not good anymore, in some cases it never was. Here are five stars from 2009 whose songs annoy the crap outta me even though they are the most famous, most liked, most popular musicians of the year.

The Worst ‘Best’ Artists of 2009

Lady Ga Ga

I think this super eccentric lady that came out of nowhere is by far the most overrated, overplayed musician of the year. Her songs are extremely poppy but they get more hits than literally anything else on YouTube. Is it really just her racy videos that get her views? I hope not, to me they are straight up stupid, gawdy, and unoriginal. This lady says she wears masks to cover up her ugliness, how about you leave the world of music all together. I can honestly say with confidence that Lady Ga Ga was the worst ‘best’ artist of 2009.

Jonas brothers

I don’t think I’ve heard much of these guys’ music. But I do hear way too much about these three “heart throbs” on Entertainment Tonight and I don’t know why. They are on the cover of Rolling Stones, really? I don’t see what the big deal is, to me it’s Hanson all over again. Do we really need another boy band? Are these Abercrombie and Fitch boys even old enough to sit at on the bar stool? At any rate, Hey Jonas, what’s your song called again? I must change the station every time it comes on.

Miley Cyrus

As much as I want to like this cute and spunky superstar, I just can’t do it. This pre-teen pop sensation began her career on the Disney Channel and I think she should stay there a few more years. She’s an alright singer, and I’ll admit she can sure round up the crowds and sell out shows, but do people over the age 16 like her music? I guess so, but I really just can’t stand the sound that comes out when this girl speaks. Hannah Montana, I want to love you like everyone else, but your song “Party in the U.S.A.” is a little too pop for me, or perhaps it was just overplayed. At any rate, it’s pretty annoying.

Mariah Carey

“Why you so obsessed with me?” Come on honey, aren’t you pushing forty? I loved Mariah back in the day, I mean who doesn’t sing along to fantasy when they hear the O.D.B. version, it’s a definite head bopper. But how annoying is the song obsessed? If we could ban that song from the radio for good, that would be just great, thanks.

Beyonce

Her last 3 videos have all looked identical, she’s becoming increasingly provocative, in a sleezy, unfavorable way, and her voice is good, but straight up annoying. “My guilty pleasure I ain’t goin’ no where…” I’ll admit, I know her lyrics, but maybe that’s because her song is overplayed on every single radio station that will play her songs. I’m sorry but plenty of girls love her music, but I am not a fan.

So there you have it, what I think are the most overrated, most annoying, and the worst musicians of 2009.
