Either Justin Gaston went all Chris Brown on her, or Miley Cyrus got some serious upper lip injections, because homegirl was looking more than a little bit puffy at the signing of her new book, Miley Cyrus: Miles to Go, at the Barnes & Noble in NYC.

Honestly this girl does not look anything like the one on the cover of that book, almost to the point that I’m wondering if they’re using a Miley Cyrus stunt double for any event that might result in her having to read.

    OMG!!!!
    Is the shiny forty look in now???

    She looks a little orange and shiny lol but I don’t think 16 year olds get nip/tuck gosh Beet. And I don’t think we have enough space from the ordeal to be making jokes about Chris Brown beating Rihanna.

    I hate her upper lip…it’s hard to see the dimple thing.

  4. nonnie says:

    um, beet, for all your talk about domestic violence and rights of victims, this joke is in bad taste. for real. for shame.

      i thought that same exact thing. not cool, beet.

      • Mego says:

        Totally what I clicked on the comments to post. To me, saying “went all Chris Brown” is JUST as bad as the assholes on here that say “bitch deserved it”. Its not, nor will it ever be a joke. Yikes.

    • Evil Beet says:

      I suppose we have different understandings of how one can wield language as a weapon in these situations.

      To me, attaching his name to any domestic violence reference, preferably a comical one, takes away any other significance he may have had as a human being. He becomes a one-dimensional punch line associated with one particular image. Once you incorporate his actions into the English lexicon thusly, they become more difficult to forget.

      Every time someone says jokingly, “I’m gonna pull an Ike Turner on you,” you laugh, but you also remember that Ike Turner beat his wife, right?

      This country loves to forget things like this. He’ll get back with Rihanna, release another album, support it with music videos and possibly a tour, show up at the VMAs, etc, etc, and within a couple years nobody really remembers him as the guy who beat his girlfriend up so bad that she had to go into the hospital.

      But if you start NOW, and you incorporate his actions into the language, you make it a knee-jerk reaction to refer to Chris Brown when you’re referring to domestic violence, then you’re crippling his ability to rebuild his image. You’re taking away power by turning him into a ubiquitous punchline. Kids who haven’t even been born yet will grow up well aware that, whoever this Chris Brown character was, he beat up his girlfriend.

      If you were offended, that was not the intent. The intent is to treat this dude like the joke of a human being that he is.

        Rock. On.

        i’m sure all those thoughts were going through your head when you wrote that comment. i don’t think using his name as a reference to domestic violence is what is offensive with the statement. you’re joking that her boyfriend may have beat her because she looks “puffy”. i think that is what is in poor taste.

      • Evil Beet says:

        As a matter of fact, miscogito, they were. I made a conscious decision a couple days ago to employ that phrase whenever possible, for just the reasons I described.

      • misscogito says:

        i still don’t think it’s very funny to suggest that miley cyrus’ boyfriend beat her. don’t you think that’s making light of domestic violence?

  5. S says:

    no no, that’s just how her face looks.

  6. Sometimes says:

    Looks like she had her wax doll pose for pictures. She’s probably off banging her boyfriend behind a curtain somewhere while this doll gives off classic miley sayings like “What” and “Whatdidusay!”

  7. Lindsay says:

    She’s got Amanda Bynes syndrome.

  8. hil says:

    she’s always been ugly, it doesn’t matter what her lips look like.

  9. Missou says:

    Wait, she’s like, what, 16? What in the hell could she possibly have to write about that could actually add value to literature? What’s it, like 10 pages long? She should wait until she becomes the washed up crack whore we all know she’s gonna be in five years – then that’ll be some good readin’!

    • Hautie says:

      “Wait, she’s like, what, 16? What in the hell could she possibly have to write about that could actually add value to literature?”

      Exactly. I can not fathom what kind of life altering things could have happen to her in the last few years. I thought she has only been doing the Disney thing for maybe 4 years?

      But then again… I guess you have to give her management credit, in getting all the money they can get for her. I suspect her days are number…. and former Disney teen girl idols never make a smooth transition to being adult actresses. Get that cash while the getting is good!

  10. Briana says:

    dosent look like her. so puffy. I want to punch her.

  11. smashed ass says:

    That looks like a wax statue.

  12. briana says:

    Looks like a prego version of her

  13. nomen cognomen says:

    I’ve finally realized what it is about her that makes her so weird looking to me. Aside from her receding gums, she’s lacking that little crevice most people have between the bottom of their noses and upper lips.

  14. meesh says:

    When I look at her book cover, I can’t help but think of:

    Foreshadowing? God I hope Miley goes nuts and shaves her head one day.

  15. ifoundamy says:

    stupid people! it’s not shiny. it’s “dewey” skin. dewey looks more natural than caked on make-up. NOT greasy…dewey.

    anyways…ya she doesn’t look like herself in the book…but gotta remember…she’s a teen–STILL growing, duh. that picture is probably, give or take, a year?

    oh and…this comment is starting to sound too nice towards miley. i am not a miley fan. i actually really can’t stand her. i just love my skincare and pointing random, yet rational, things out like, “STILL growing, duh.”

  16. mamie says:

    love the comment… thought it made chris brown into a derogatory joke. that is exactly what he needs to be.

  17. Mint says:

    Well. Miley looks different when she smiles real big and smiles a little/not smiling at all. You can’t really blame her.

  18. quirkygirlkitten says:

    i’m sure she wrote every word of her book…yeah, right. ugh! i just cannot stand this twit. i know she’s only 16 but i want to slap her whenever i see her.

  19. blue says:

    does anyone else think that she looks like shes made of plastic here

  20. ellieee :) says:

    haaaaaaaaaa miley cyrus has definitely had surgery- its a bit obvv, and imean, shes only a young girl, shes girls who are my age role model, well she was. Anyways, i think we should just leave her, her life, her choice :)
