Not AGAIN Miley! Try hard Cyrus flashes her breasts, grabs her crotch and shows off her rear in new raunchy promo photos for new album Bangerz
With her twerking dance moves, raunchy image and flesh flashing antics, Miley Cyrus is clearly determined to move away from her wholesome Disney Hannah Montana image.
So it's unsurprising that a new set of promotional photographs for the singer's new album Bangerz show the star yet again trying rather too hard to ramp up the sex factor.
The 20-year-old, who has taken to copying Madonna and Rihanna's favoured crotch grabbing move, tries her hand at it again in one shot, where she makes the lewd gesture in a pair of PVC black and white checked trousers and a white crop top, in front of a neon Bangerz sign.

Another shot combines the child-like act of holding colourful party balloons with a risqué outfit of black trousers with braces and well positioned red embroidery over a clear PVC top which only just protects her modesty .
More images include Miley looking back at the camera sporting a black coat which only just covers her seemingly naked posterior and a black and white shot featuring the top of a lacy white thong.
The new album is set for release in the U.S. on October 8 and includes Miley's hit single We Can't Stop and her new song Wrecking Ball.

The release is getting a slew of publicity following Miley's much lambasted performance at Sunday night's MTV VMAs.
The former Hannah Montana star stripped down to a flesh-coloured latex bikini, simulated sex with a foam finger and grinded her behind into the crotch of 36-year-old Robin Thicke during his hit Blurred Lines at the awards ceremony.
On Monday, the Parents Television Council issued a statement in which executives called her performance 'sexually exploitative' and said it 'simply substituted talent with sex.'

The performance drew criticism from media commentators, fellow celebrities and even the star's friends.
Thicke's 66-year-old mother Gloria Loring, herself a veteran actress and singer, called Miley's moves 'misbegotten,' and certainly didn't enjoy watching her shake her rear in her son's face.
'I don't understand what Miley Cyrus is trying to do.I just don't understand. I think she's misbegotten in this attempt of hers. And I think it was not beneficial,' she told Yahoo OMG.
And Miley's friend Kelly Osbourne said on Monday's edition of E! show Fashion Police: 'Look, Miley's my friend and I love her, and I have her back no matter what, but as her friend I'm going to tell her - put your f***ing tongue in your mouth!'

Get ready to shock: Milley got fans talking with her lewd performance with a foam finger at the VMAs on Sunday
Brooke Shields, who played Miley's mother in a few episodes of Hannah Montana, called the display 'a bit desperate'.
She told The Today Show: 'I just want to know who's advising her, and why [the racy display] is necessary.... [Our children] can't watch that.'
Bill Mayer likened the performance to a specific type of evening entertainment, tweeting: 'Watching VMAs. Haven't been in a strip club in a while but good to see nothing has changed.'
And Melissa Rycroft suggested she was not of the right age to appreciate Miley's moves.
'I feel I'm too old to appreciate the (ahem) new Miley Cyrus... feeling slightly violated,' she wrote.
Nick Cannon weighed in to the fray, tweeting: 'Remind me to never let my kids into showbiz... thanks.'
Kelly Clarkson even earned a rebuke from one of Miley's friends after she wrote: '2 words... pitchystrippers,' on her Twitter account after the show, seemingly referring to Miley and Lady Gaga's performances.
Miley for her part, has been busy defending herself via Twitter, citing the huge number of tweets which occurred during her performance.
'Smilers! My VMA performance had 306.000 tweets per minute. That's more than the blackout or Superbowl! #fact,' she wrote in one post.
She also retweeted two quotes from a review by Rolling Stone magazine: 'Miley was the one star in the room who truly understood what the MTV Video Music Awards are all about!,' she quoted in one post.
'Miley stole the night, which is why the nation is still in recovery today. Thanks, Miley - Rolling Stone,' she posted in another.
Meanwhile, Miley's fiancé Liam Hemsworth has also been drawn into the furore.
According to website Radar Online, friends of the Australian actor are worried that Miley’s inappropriate actions will have a negative effect on his flourishing career.
One unnamed friend told the website: 'Liam really does care about Miley, but her racy new look and sort of ghetto attitude isn’t exactly what he signed up for.'
The source also added: 'It’s not just Liam that Miley is pushing away…his entire team is urging him to part ways with her because she’s nothing but negative for his reputation and career.'
