Miley Cyrus is embracing her new role as punk girl about town -- she recently stopped by the Bachelor's Madhouse in Hollywood to watch an 82-year-old stripper gyrate onstage, reports TMZ.
In a video taken by the gossip site, Cyrus can be seen in the front of the crowd while a woman billed as the oldest stripper in the world shakes her groove thang in front of the delighted audience. We're a little sorry to report that we didn't see Miley tipping, but the video is only about a minute long. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt and say it happened when we weren't looking.
