Controversy of the Day - Miley Cyrus Says She Won't Take Advice from a '70 year old Jewish Man'?!

Yesterday Miley Cyrus was proclaimed as the Queen of YouTube, breaking records and delivering over 270.1 million video views in September.

Today, she's back creating MORE controversy, telling Hunger TV that "You know me and Rankin were talking about it. With magazines, with movies, it's always weird when things are targeted for young people yet they're driven by people that are like 40 years too old. It can't be like this 70 year old Jewish man that doesn't leave his desk all day, telling me what the clubs want to hear. I'm going out, I know what they want to hear. I know when you're in a club, what makes everyone go crazy and when the time is where everyone's like "alright I'm going go get a drink". I know when people walk off the dance floor and I know what's driving it so I've got to be the one doing it because they're just not in on what 20 year olds are doing."

Ummm... So there!? No word yet on which record executive she's referring to... or why she thinks Jewish people won't go clubbing.

She also notes that "So now it feels like all that work in the studio did pay off. And I had so many times where I had to tell people like, "Yo, just trust me, I'm telling you with this 'Can't Stop' video this is going make people watch" or with 'Wrecking Ball' saying, "this is going to make people go crazy." And once I did 'Can't Stop' that's when people really started trusting me. At first on paper that video sounded insane, no one understood it and I'm just like, "let me film it and then if it doesn't work out you never have to trust me again but if it works out you have to let me drive this ship, you know I'm on to something." And then they call me and they're like "yo, you're onto something!""
