Nude college students imitate Miley Cyrus, take down statue

Shocking news from Grand Valley State University in Michigan--students there have been paying tribute to salacious songstress Miley Cyrus by taking off all of their clothes and going for a swing on the campus's beloved pendulum sculpture.

But nude antic do have consequences, and now the sculpture's coming down! Officials fear one of the exuberant nude frolickers might injure themselves, or even bring the artwork crashing to the ground, and have ordered the sculpture be removed.

Really, though, it sounds like no one seems to think the loss of the sculpture is such a big whoop--one administrator even said "It's given us a few chuckles." Nude pendulum swinging will do that!

Homespun Advice for Hollywood Celebrities: Miley Cyrus, VMA edition

Cafeteria Lady entertainment blog contributor Angela Grammer knows that the stars aren't so different from the rest of us--they could use some of the plainspoken wisdom shared in families across America and the world. Today, Angela shares her heartfelt advice for Miley Cyrus.

Miley, I've shared my advice with you in the past, but after your eye-opening, buttocks-oriented routine at the 2013 VMA awards, I think it's time to talk again.

You looked beautiful at the VMAs, and your singing was lovely. (I'm even starting to get used to the new, short hairdo!) But the spectacle you put on didn't show the world the best Miley. I do realize that "twerking" and simulating sex with Robin Thicke is a great way to grab headlines--there's no denying that no one's performance has been talked about more than yours.

Miley, America has grown up with you. Millions of girls have spent their lives looking up to you as a role model. I can only pray to the Lord that they won't now follow your lead and begin hoochie dancing in very public places.

Maybe that does not matter to you. Then listen to this: gimmicks and stunts do not make a long career. If you want to be remembered by the time the 2018 VMAs are on TV, it just might be time to put on some clothes. --Angela Grammer

Homespun Advice for Hollywood Celebrities: Lindsay Lohan

Cafeteria Lady entertainment blog contributor Angela Grammer knows that the stars aren't so different from the rest of us--they could use some of the plainspoken wisdom shared in families across America and the world. Today, Angela shares her heartfelt advice for Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay, you’re out of rehab again--and, like it or not, you're also back in the public eye. As you know, keeping your sobriety is the most important thing right now, and you’ve slipped before, many times. But people will always give you another chance to accomplish this, because your life depends on it. 

You’re still beautiful, young, and talented, but so were a lot of girls who came before you but aren’t with us today, girls like Anna Nicole Smith, Amy Winehouse, and Whitney Houston. Lindsay, we don’t want to add your name to that tragic list. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could be a strong survivor, someone who proves to other troubled young stars, like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, that the path they’re on doesn’t have to be the road to doom? 

It warms my heart to hear you’ve chosen to skip the premiere of your new film, The Canyons--glitz, glamor, and the paparazzis’ flashes are not what you need right now. Keep up the hard work, Lindsay, and you’ll be a great star--on the screen, and off. --Angela Grammer

Homespun Advice for Hollywood Celebrities: Miley Cyrus

Cafeteria Lady entertainment blog contributor Angela Grammer knows that the stars aren't so different from the rest of us--they could use some of the plainspoken wisdom shared in families across America and the world. Today, Angela shares her heartfelt advice for Miley Cyrus.

Miley, you are a beautiful and talented young woman (although I do think you looked even prettier when your hair was longer and your natural color). Your success is surely well deserved, and the joy and talent you've shown in your work has been an inspiration to girls everywhere.

But I worry about what those girls see when they look at you now. I also wonder what your fiance Liam Hemsworth thinks. I'm sure he loves you, but deep down in their hearts, not many men want to watch their future wife act sexual toward furniture, as the whole world has now seen you do in your latest video, "We Can't Stop." In the lyrics to that song, you sing about "dancing with molly."
