It seems that Radiohead is annoying all of their famous fans these days. Recently, Miley Cyrus went on a radio show and unleashed her plans to “ruin” Radiohead by telling the world that the band snubbed her at the Grammy Awards.

Miley explained that she was a huge fan of the band and expected to meet them after sending her manager over to talk to them and arrange an introduction with the starlet. Sadly for Miley, she was turned down as the band told her manager that they “didn’t really do that.” Miley ended up leaving the awards early because she was upset by the incident and didn’t want to stick around to watch Radiohead perform.

Yet Miley is not the only star that has a beef with the band. Kanye West is another temperamental superstar who was also snubbed by the band. West told audiences at his VH1 Storytellers taping that he too was dissed by the band at the Grammy Awards, according to mtvnews.com.

Radiohead addressed the disputes on their blog where front man Thom Yorke wrote; “Wish us all a safe journey, if you still like us and you’re not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing.”

16-year-old Disney star Miley Cyrus has written a tell-all memoir entitled “Miles To Go”. The memoir, published by Disney-Hyperion Books, will hit the stores on March 10. Cyrus was confirmed to have signed a seven-figure book deal with the Disney Book Group in April 2007 to write her autobiography. The memoir reportedly chronicles the actress-singer’s journey to stardom.

According to perezhilton.com, Cyrus addresses many issues in her memoir.

One of the issues that Cyrus addresses on her upcoming memoir “Miles to Go” is her relationship with father Billy Ray Cyrus, which is often criticized by people as they consider the father-daughter duo as too “close and cuddly.” Defending their bond, the Disney star says, “For me and my dad it’s not weird at all.”   She proclaims her love for her father Billy, not taking into account the negative perception surrounding them, Miley insists she and her father “don’t let other people tell us what expressions we’re supposed to have on our faces when we take a picture together!”

The other issue that Miley discusses on her “Miles to Go” memoir is the media, which she claims is often instigating a downfall of the teen star. Regarding the fact, she hopes the media would instead center their attention on her “achievements.”

Miley Cyrus has issued a statement regarding the photograph that surfaced of the teenager doing the “slant-eyed’ poser”. The photo shows Cyrus, her boyfriend Justin Gaston and a group of friends pulling their eyes back as if they were mocking someone of Asian descent.

The Disney star responded on her official fan site, MileyWorld. MTV News has a transcript of her response.

Cyrus wrote, “I’ve also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, I’m sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context! In no way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy?”.

“It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would have been anyone else, it would have been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new ‘bad girl’!”.
According to MTV News, Cyrus feels as though she is a new target for scrutiny since the spotlight has faded on the infamous Britney Spears. “I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me! Haha,” she wrote.

“You guys know my heart and know the most important things to me are my friends, family, fans and God! In no way do I want to disappoint any of you! But when I have made mistakes in the past, I feel like I’ve owned up to them and apologized”.

Cyrus concluded with an appeal to the people and media. “Anyway, I really wish everyone would stop focusing on my personal life and get back to focusing on what I love! Music and acting! Hopefully, I will be touring again this fall! Yayy! It will be a nice change to be back out on the road again! xoxo Blessings”.
