Episode 23: Miley Cyrus wreckin' balls

The Fame Fatale

Baby Vegas is back from Burning Man. I’ve just returned from a Mexican bender involving nine cases of Tecate and five bottles of tequila split between seven people over four days. Needless to say, your two Fame Fatale hosts are feeling a little loose in this latest episode.

Don’t get me wrong: We’re still exploding with plenty of occult Hollywood knowledge. In fact, this week I delve into a subject worthy of Nancy Grace’s flaming nostrils of justice: The sudden disappearance of America’s screaming tweens—at least, when it comes to movie theaters. The teeny boppers didn’t show up for the new Mortal Instruments movie. They were a no-show for Beautiful Creatures. And they skipped The Host, too. What’s going on, exactly? Have junior high school girls voluntarily abandoned the movie industry, leaving it safe for oldsters to watch Oprah make out with Terrence Howard in peace?

Or is a more sinister force at work? One of you asked. And I found out for you.

In this episode, I also settle some outstanding business involving Lea Michele’s Facebook page, as well as deliver a—literally—delicious celebrity sighting from the heart of Hollywood.

But the crowning glory of Episode 23 just may be the torture I impose upon my wayward costar. Somebody had tie down Baby Vegas and make him watch Miley Cyrus’s latest video, the one where she cries and swings around naked on a wrecking ball.

Turns out, if you think that Miley makes a terrific gay man, you’re not alone.
