Miley Cyrus' shocking VMA performance

Miley Cyrus stunned the crowd at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York at the 2013 VMAs on August 25. Her "We Can't Stop" performance featured Cyrus' now-signature twerking and a crotch grab or two. After she donned the fuzzy gray leotard.

Clearly Miley Cyrus stole Gaga's throne for the strangest, outrageous, most provocative performer at this year's VMAs.

Miley took over the stage with gigantic, dancing bears and more twerking than viewers at home probably knew what to do with.

The 20-year-old pop star emerged onto the stage wearing a fuzzy gray leotard, as her hit single, "We Can't Stop," played. An animated and uninhibited performer, Cyrus' dance moves were a clear departure from her "Hannah Montana" days. (Meaning, they involved a crotch grab or two.)

When she reached the end of her song, the singer stripped down to a flesh-toned latex bra and matching underwear and began to perform "Blurred Lines" alongside Robin Thicke.

With Cyrus acting as Thicke's back-up singer and personal dancer, featured guest stars 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar went largely unnoticed.

Kevin Hart  joked about it during the show: "Miley better get a ... pregnancy test after all of that grinding,"

Most people were shocked like the family of Will Smith seated in the VMAs audience.

Wentworth Miller is Gay

Wentworth Miller has come out of the closet. The Prison Break actor now 41 went public with the news in a letter to Petersburg International Film Festival director Maria Averbakh, who had invited him to attend.

In the letter, Miller thanked Averbakh for the "kind invitation" but turned it down because, "As a gay man … I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government."

"The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly. … If circumstances improve, I'll be free to make a different choice," he added.

The actor was referring to the recent anti-LGBT legislation passed by Russia. Signed by President Vladimir Putin in June, the law bans the "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" and imposes hefty fines for providing information about the gay community to minors or holding gay pride rallies, the Associated Press reports.

However, what is troubling is why LGBT is focusing only in Russia when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Mozambique, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Kuwait, and Malaysia have laws against Gays. Also in Saudi Arabia if you are found to be gay, your head will be cut-off.

Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton Audio Tape released

- Lewinsky told Clinton she was 'too cute' to ignore "popping her over"
- 'I really want to see you,' she says on the tape. 'I could take my clothes off'
- All copies of the tape were thought to have been destroyed, but the National Enquirer claims to have a secret copy.

A never been heard before tape of "Monica Lewinsky pleading with Bill Clinton to meet her" have been released. Lewinsky, a White House intern, then 24, was asking the president to meet her for a movie or at his office in November 1997. The audio recording was made months after their final alleged tryst.

"I really want to see you," Monica was heard from the audio tape. "I could take my clothes off." She adds that she is "too cute and adorable" to be ignored.

The tape records Monica Lewinsky begging Bill Clinton to meet her. The audio tape was reportedly released to the National Enquirer after it was obtained by a cleaner hired by friends of Lewinsky.

It was a four-minute long audio tape, which was recorded in November 1997, and had been destroyed after the sexual affair was revealed in 1998, according to the Enquirer.

"Since I know you will be alone tomorrow evening, I have two proposals for you, neither of which is you not seeing me," she says,

"I could take my clothes off and start… well… I know you wouldn't enjoy that? I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want."

Monica asks Clinton to have her secretary, Betty Currie, to plan his schedule so that they could get away with not formally recording the meeting.

For one plan, she instructs him to tell Currie that he was going to leave the office around 7pm the next evening before returning later that evening.

"In the meantime I quickly sneak over and then we can have a nice little visit for, you know, 15 minutes or half an hour. Whatever you want," she says.

Her another suggestion is meeting him for a movie "and just have kind of, I don¹t know, boxed dinners or something like that", she says.

"You can't refuse me because I'm too cute and adorable and soon I won't be here anymore to pop over."

Lewinsky was just 22 when she allegedly had the first of nine sexual encounters with the president between November 1995 and March 1997. Details of the affair emerged in 1998.
