Miley shows her poker face

Lady Gaga has taken the MTV Video Music Awards stage covered in fake blood; wearing a dress made of meat; and as her male alter-ego, Jo Calderone. But at the 2013 MTV VMAs, Miley Cyrus stole Gaga's outrageous performance crown. While Gaga came equipped with multiple costume- and wig-changes on her side, Cyrus took over the stage with gigantic dancing bears, and more twerking than viewers at home probably knew what to do with. The 20-year-old pop star stepped out onto the stage a ball of energy, wearing a fuzzy gray leotard, as her hit single, "We Can't Stop," played. An animated and uninhibited performer, Cyrus' dance moves were a clear departure from her "Hannah Montana" days. So what? Musicians evolve all the time. Of course she wouldn't be like Hannah Montana now. Also not like Hannah Montana is an 8-year-old boy who intentionally shot and killed his elderly caregiver last week after playing a violent video game. 87-year-old Marie Smothers was pronounced dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head in a mobile home park in Slaughter, Louisiana, the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Department said in a statement. Slaughter is about 30 km north of Baton Rouge. Authorities identified the woman as the boy's "caregiver," without stating whether she is a relative. But CNN affiliate WBRZ reported that the woman was the boy's grandmother. The boy won't face charges because under Louisiana law, a child under 10 is exempt from criminal responsibility. He is now with his parents, who I hope aren't stupid enough to let him play violent video games.
