There”s a warm spot in hell for those who “promote” drug use to impressionable audiences.

We”re talking about you Miley Cyrus, the Pop sensation who recently took to “Rolling Stone” magazine to dish on her new album “Bangerz“….and her alleged first hand experiences with a variety of drugs.

Sinister, to say the very least,  her lighthearted take on “MDMA (or Molly)” sees her reach all new lows to push her “rebellious agenda”, going as far as to endorse the drug by hinting at how fashionable it is as compared to the “dated” cocaine.

For fans of David Simon‘s ‘The Wire’, the man above may appear familiar…while being completely unfamiliar all the same time.

Why? Well, six years removed from bidding adieu to his role as Duquan ‘Dukie’ Weems, 21 year old Jermaine Crawford stands tall as an R&B contender gearing up to take the genre by storm with the launch of his solo music career.

Why you can expect to see a whole lot more of him on That Grape Juice?

Australian fans of Pop hit maker Rihanna may be forced to question their support for the star this week, after she arrived later than scheduled at the Adelaide showing of her ‘Diamonds World Tour‘.

Just when we thought we couldn’t love Katy Perry anymore than we already did…she goes and does this.

This, being the release of her ‘Prism’ pulled single ‘Walking On Air‘, which we’re going to be bold enough to call this one of the best singles (from any genre) to drop this year.

Peep the ‘Why Don’t You Love Me?’ star in action after the jump!
