Miley Cyrus loses Vogue cover, gains SNL appearance
After Miley Cyrus鈥 twerking, Vogue editor Anna Wintour had done some jerking 鈥 scotching plans for the 20-year-old pop star to appear on the magazine鈥檚 cover in December.
Her steamy performance at last month鈥檚 MTV Video Music Awards, at which Cyrus suggestively cavorted in a flesh-colored bikini with giant teddy bears, a huge foam finger and Robin Thicke, set off a media storm with most seeing the former Disney teen star鈥檚 dance as over-the-top.
Count Wintour among the critics, according to media reports.
鈥淎nna found the whole thing distasteful,鈥 it quoted one source as saying. 鈥淪he decided, based on Miley鈥檚 performance, to take the cover in a different direction.鈥
A spokesman for Conde Naste, Vogue鈥檚 parent company, declined comment to TheWrap on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus will be making a return trip to host SNL.
When 鈥Saturday Night Live鈥 returns for its 39th season on Sep. 28, alum Tina Fey will perform the monolgue, hosting the show that made her famous for her fourth time since her departure.
The following week, Miley Cyrus returns to 鈥淪NL鈥 as both host and musical guest. Her new album 鈥淏angerz鈥 will be released three days later.
On Oct. 12, Bruce Willis will return to Studio 8H to host the comedy show for the second time. Katy Perry joins him as musical guest, also making her second appearance.
Teaming up with Fey for the kick off episode, Arcade Fire makes its fourth appearance as musical guest.
