She loves to shock but even hardcore Miley Cyrus fans may have thought her performance at the MTV VMAs was too much.
The 20-year-old singer was joined by singer Robin Thicke on stage for a rendition of his hit single Blurred Lines and wasted no time stripping down to a tiny gold bikini.
Miley then proceeded to shake her pert derrière in the 36-year-old star’s face and draped herself all over him during the family friendly show.

Neither actress was impressed with Miley’s performance, which included her shaking her butt in Robin’s face and rubbing up against him, and both made veiled but catty comments on the social networking site.
