Miley Cyrus Calls Paparazzo The C-Word

In case you were wondering whether Miley Cyrus had any shame left, any at all, the answer is a resounding "no." Beating the media to the punch, the 20-year-old singer announced on Twitter yesterday that she recently called a paparazzo a cunt:
Just called this paparazzi a CUNT. So before he makes breaking "news" out if it. Ill just say it. Ha-Ha #CUNT
— Miley Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) September 4, 2013
This news comes on the heels of everyone and their mom getting their panties unnecessarily wadded up over Cyrus' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, in which she stuck a foam finger between her legs, ground her pelvis into Robin Thicke's, and, of course, twerked.
When it comes down to it, though, you can't fault Miley too much for this kind of behavior. Cyrus recently said in an interview that she's "fucked up," but some of this just reads like a 20-year-old being a 20-year-old. We've all made mistakes. We all learn from them. At least no one can ever accuse Cyrus of being boring.
