Miley Cyrus, never noted for her, um, AWARENESS, I guess you could call it, stated her disapproval of celebrities, specifically Angelina Jolie and Madonna, trotting their kids out for everyone to see, rather than locking them in a closet and throwing them a hunk of meat every couple days. You know, like normal people.

Well, for someone who wears hot pants and hooker heels and regularly does a pole dance in front of millions of third graders, plus posts a video of her nine year old sister dirty dancing on her website, she is either being ironically funny or just stupid. I vote for the latter.

Sasha and Malia Obama got to stay up late on a school night.

Michelle Obama took the first daughters, 8 and 11 respectively, to a Miley Cyrus concert Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., according to ABC News.

It’s not the first time the tweens have watched the “Party in the USA” perform. Cyrus, 16, also took the stage at the Kids Ball on Inauguration Day.

Earlier this summer, the Obama girls went to a Beyoncé concert with their mom. They also met their favorite group, the Jonas Brothers, during a scavenger hunt the night they moved into the White House.

In the wake of Miley Cyrus’ abrupt departure from Twitter last week, the “Hannah Montana” star has released both a statement and a rap explaining why she left the micro-blogging Web site. In addition to saying that her rumored boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, had nothing to do with her departure from the site, where she readily wrote about the most mundane activities in her life, she said she now wants to keep her private life private.

In a statement on Mileyworld.com (via Perezhilton.com), Cyrus said that she needs to step away from Twitter so that she can separate her personal and professional lives and distance herself from the “negativity” the Internet makes “so available.”

“You all are the closest thing to my heart & it breaks my spirit to hear that some of you feel neglected since I deleted my twitter,” she wrote, addressing her fans. “It was a wonderful way to stay connected to you & I really felt like during that time we became very much like friends. Twitter is a beautiful thing if used for the right reason. I love my job so much that it is hard to believe sometimes that it is considered ‘working.’ But in the end it is still a business and I do need some sort of a ‘normal’ life as well.

It looks like Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are more than just friendly costars.

Last Wednesday, as Cyrus bid Australian actor Liam Hemsworth goodbye at the Nashville airport, the two kissed – and were “full-on making out,” says Alex Emanuel, a New York actor who was a few feet away from the couple and saw Cyrus, 16, act “as giddy as a schoolgirl.”

Miley Cyrus apologized earlier this week for a photo scandal in which she was seen pulling her eyes up in a photo in an apparent gesture mocking Asian people. She initially defended herself, saying she was just making “goofy faces,” but then recanted, saying she was sorry and that she “learned a valuable lesson.” Miley’s apology is not enough for one woman in LA County. Lucie J. Kim has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of over a million Asian Pacific Islanders in LA County, claiming civil right violations for each. That amounts to $4 billion:

A Los Angeles woman has filed a class action suit against Miley Cyrus, claiming she mocked Asians in a recent photo by slanting her eyes. Price tag: $4 billion.

Lucie J. Kim claims to represent more than 1 million Asian Pacific Islanders who live in L.A. County. Kim claims when Cyrus posed for the photo, she “knew or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ.”

Kim says in the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, that each Asian Pacific Islander is entitled to the minimum damages for a civil rights violation — $4,000. Add it up — $4 billion!

While I don’t think that Cyrus’ behavior comes even close to warranting this kind of lawsuit, she’s become the famous public face of anti-Asian racism. This lawsuit is trying to bring awareness to the fact that Asians are discriminated against and that it’s incredibly hurtful and cruel to make the “chinky eyes,” as Margaret Cho and others call it.

Yes, it can be interpreted that “going after a 16-year-old would just make the Asian American community look hyper-sensitive and mean,” as someone advocating a letter-writing campaign to Disney writes. Miley is 16 but she’s also a superstar and this lawsuit is trying to take advantage of that for maximum publicity.
