Miley Cyrus poses topless for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine: ‘I’ll never do that s*** again’

MILEY Cyrus has posed topless for the cover of Rolling Stone, telling the magazine she “was never trying to be sexy” at the VMAs.

The 'twerk' that stopped the world

ANOTHER day, another Miley scandal. But this time she’s laid it all on the line — literally — for Rolling Stone magazine.

The We Can’t Stop singer posed topless on the cover of the mag’s October issue, leaning on the edge of a pool and sticking her tongue out.

The former child star tackles her heavily criticised VMAs performance with Robin Thicke in the exclusive interview, saying she “wasn’t trying to be sexy”.

“If I was trying to be sexy, I could have been sexy. I can dance a lot better than I was dancing.”

The 20-year-old says she’s well aware of how ridiculous she looks twerking, but guess what? She couldn’t care less.

“People are like, ‘Miley thinks she’s a black girl, but she’s got the flattest ass ever,’” she says. “I’m like, I’m 108 pounds! I know! Now people expect me to come out and twerk with my tongue out all the time. I’ll probably never do that s*** again.”

As for comments being thrown around that she’s trying to be “black”, the self-aware singer says: “I’m from one of the wealthiest counties in America ... I know what I am. But I also know what I like to listen to. Look at any 20-year-old white girl right now — that’s what they’re listening to at the club.”

She had a few choice words for the haters of her VMAs dance with the Blurred Lines singer also: “No one is talking about the man behind the ass. It was a lot of ‘Miley twerks on Robin Thicke,’ but never, ‘Robin Thicke grinds up on Miley.’ They’re only talking about the one that bent over. So obviously there’s a double standard.”

Brooke Shields — who played Miley’s on-screen mother on Hannah Montana — was just one of the celebrities to weigh in on the controversial performance, calling it “desperate”.

“Brooke Shields was in a movie where she was a prostitute at age 12!” she counters.

The self-proclaimed “semi-nudist” admits she was feeling nervous prior to the performance but had a visit from Kanye West in her dressing room.

“He came in and goes, ‘There are not a lot of artists I believe in more than you right now,’” Cyrus recalls. “The whole room went quiet. I was like, ‘Yo — can you say that again?!’

“I just kept repeating that over and over in my mind, and it made me not nervous.”

The recently single star says she’s good friends with West and turns to him for advice. “It’s good to have someone you can call and be like, ‘Yo, do you think I should wear this?’ ‘Do you think I should go in the studio with this guy?’ ‘Do you think this is cool?’ That’s what homies are supposed to do.”

Miley is currently preparing for the release of her new album Bangerz, which will feature a collaboration with Britney Spears.
