Miley Cyrus is attempting to teach an adult the Hoedown Throwdown, the big dance number from “Hannah Montana: The Movie” and it’s not going well. “We did it in one day!” she gasps. “We just all kind of made it up as we went along.” It doesn’t help that Cyrus offers this consolation and advice over the phone to a journalist who’s trying to follow along on YouTube — and untangle herself from the phone cord. “Well,” Cyrus patiently explains, “you have to be semi-coordinated to do it.” This is exactly how Cyrus’ legion of preteen female fans must be… Read more »

Reports of Katy Perry getting cozy with Benji Madden have been greatly exaggerated. The “I Kissed a Girl” songbird is none too pleased about stories coming out of Las Vegas this weekend claiming she and the rocker ex-boyfriend of Paris Hilton appeared to be more than just friends while partying on Valentine’s night at Sin City’s Lavo nightclub.

It’s two pseudo famous people sitting next to each other…doesn’t mean we were bumping uglies!” Perry wrote in a post yesterday. “You know I don’t just do that with anyone!… Read more »

Perry's catchy putdowns put flash over substance


Katy Perry opened the set to the prerecorded strains of Queen’s “Killer Queen” and covered that band’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” as an encore. During her 75-minute homecoming set Saturday night at the Wiltern Perry revealed that she’s also royalty of some sort: She’s the queen of putdown pop.

Katy Perry continues to avoid Travis talk


In the weeks following her split with boyfriend Travis McCoy, Katy Perry has remained silent about the subject, a move which is entirely understandable, if not particularly, you know, Perry-like. So, when MTV News caught up with her on the Critics’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles, we took the opportunity to ask her about her newly single status. And, somewhat surprisingly, she answered. Sort of. “Well, it’s a new year, and I’m very focused,” she said when asked about the Gym Class Heroes frontman. “I have a tour coming up on January 23 called the Hello Katy Tour, and I’m… Read more »
