If ever the definition of irony existed, it would be in a set of recent damning quotes lent from fading pop superstar Miley Cyrus.

The ‘Wrecking Ball’ beauty, busy on the Australian leg of her ‘Bangerz’ tour, may be wrecking headlines today for lifting some NSFW photos to her Instagram page, but the photos come after a slew of NSFW-news featuring Disney’s former darling.  The most prevalent being the singer’s Quentin Jones-directed, risque short film ‘Tongue Tied’ – a bondage heavy affair topped off with nipple clamps and riding crops – being removed from this month’s New York City Porn Festival.

While rumors swirl on if she actually ever submitted the film herself, the announcement follows her statements to MAC Viva Glam (her latest endorsement gig) as she dishes on the importance of being a role model for young girls, feminism, etc:

While Sam seethes, it becomes evident yet again that the Rihanna reign simply will not let up.

For, after the Bajan beauty delivered a critically acclaimed vocal showing of her Paul McCartney & Kanye West-assisted hit ‘FourFiveSeconds’ at the 2015 Grammy Awards, she joined Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith as having the week’s top sales gains as a result of the showing.

Blasting right into the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 not even a month after the tune’s release, Ri’s latest traipse into the chart’s upper rankings not only sees her threaten another slew of legendary Hot 100 stats, but also sees her three steps away from adding her name to history books for another singles’ accomplishment.
