More daring than ever . . . Miley wore a plunging halterneck top as a dress as she posed ahead of the awards

Miley Cyrus’ eyebrow-raising appearance at the European Music Awards on Sunday – which included lighting up what appeared to be a
joint as she accepted her Best Video award – was cut by MTV for US audiences. That has to be a big blow to the diva who’s been hell-bent on shocking her fans since she twerked on the VMAs in August.

Her reaction? To blow it all off. The former Hannah Montana actress tweeted on Monday: “Last night was a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
She also gave a shout out to a pal. “Thanks @katyperry for hosting. So much fun last night! Amsterdam, you’re the dopesssst, thank you for always being so good to me.”

Miley’s antics can be seen on YouTube, however, which offers a 35-second clip of the “Wrecking Ball” singer lighting up then squatting down for no apparent reason.

In the UK, the smoking footage was cut from pre-watershed airings of the show, but will be kept in for all broadcasts after 9pm.
Marijuana is not legal in the Netherlands, but smokers can’t be prosecuted for possessing small amounts and it’s sold openly in cafés known euphemistically as “coffee shops”.

Miley’s decision to light up on stage did little to impress many of her fans, with people taking to Twitter to comment on the act.
One wrote: “Seriously wtf is wrong with miley cyrus?! Why would you smoke a joint at the ema awards?!”

While another added: “Haha Miley Cyrus is now smoking weed on live TV. What next?”
Even “This Morning” host Eamonn Holmes put in his two cents, writing on Twitter: “Miley Cyrus raises eyebrows again . At MTV awards she appears to smoke a joint. Tries a bit too hard to be controversial . . .”

It wasn’t only Miley’s cigarette choice that caused controversy at the awards, however.
Arriving at the red carpet bash, Miley shunned a fancy gown in favour of a backless halter top with drawstring detail at the front and sides, with very little protecting her modesty as the audience looked on.

The star’s top was emblazoned with the images of rappers Tupac and Biggie Smalls, with the word “VIOLENCE” running along its hem and the rather telling comment, “Please Stop” adorning her rear.

Miley opened the ceremony with a space-themed performance of her smash hit, “We Can’t Stop”, while dressed as an astronaut in a skin-tight silver spacesuit.

Miley later changed into a revealing white bodysuit for a more stripped-back performance of her hit track “Wrecking Ball”.
In December Miley will make several Jingle Ball appearances and in February she begins touring the US. – Daily Mail.
