The first clue that Jimmy Kimmel's interview with Miley Cyrus on Wednesday's Kimmel Live would be predictably outrageous was Cyrus' outfit — pasties and a rainbow sequined cape ensemble. Kimmel said at the beginning he was embarrassed and would have a hard time not staring at her chest, and Cyrus said she gets that a lot. And sometimes it works to her advantage.
Like the time she flummoxed Paul McCartney. She and Joan Jett "were talking to Paul McCartney, and I saw him not knowing how to talk to me," she said, gesturing to her breasts, "which, I don't really know how to talk to Paul McCartney, so it made me very comfortable, because it made him more uncomfortable." Over the next five minutes, Cyrus answered all of Kimmel's questions about being a "vegan nudist," what father Billy Ray Cyrus thinks of her flaunting her breasts in public, how she affixes the pasties, and other topics related to her breasts. This is network TV, so there's nothing too NSFW, but she is Miley Cyrus, so she pushes the boundaries a bit. You've been warned. Peter Weber
