Is this a publicity stunt?
Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour touched down in Los Angeles on Saturday night, and in homage to the pop star's hometown, the singer amplified an already racy performance to include a girl-on-girl kiss with Katy Perry. After the lip-lock, Cyrus declared, "I just kissed a girl and I liked it a lot."
The story has been told before: Katy Perry kissed a girl, and she liked it. But on Saturday night, it was the one and only tongue-wagging Miley Cyrus on the receiving end of a smooch from the songstress. The pair of music mavens locked lips during the Bangerz star's Los Angeles concert, and the intimate moment was viewed by an array of Miley's celebrity friends that were there to show their support: the Kardashians, Hilary Duff, Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera, to name but a few.
As half of Hollywood flocked Downtown to the Staples Centre to watch the Wrecking Ball singer perform in her current hometown, it was likely that they were expecting a spectacle of some sort from the controversial 21-year-old. And, staying true to her standard behavioral habits, Miley did not disappoint. Dressed in a black and gold sparkling ensemble that hugged her petite body like a glove, the blonde approached the end of the stage where she found 29-year-old Katy sitting front and centre. In front of her audience of thousands, the pair of musical ladies shared a proper, no holds barred, kiss on the lips. The smooch was captured by camera phones everywhere, but the aftermath was the part Katy was quick to post to her Twitter account. The snap from the pretty brunette Roar singer shows both she and Miley giggling following their touchy-feely ordeal.
Although Katy probably got the closest, she wasn't the only celebrity out to support Miley on Saturday night. Hilary Duff - who is newly single - was out with her hairstylist friend Marcus Francis, and the pair paid homage to Miley's signature tongue-wag in an Instagram snap prior to the show. Dressed in sexy ripped jeans and Timberlands, Khloé Kardashian led her leather-clad sister Kendall Jenner into the venue, where Kourtney Kardashian was also partying with a few of her other friends. Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were the rockers of the evening, with the married couple dressed in head-to-toe black as they held hands and made their way into the concert hall.
The Wanted singer Max George - whose girlfriend Nina Agdal has been working on the Entourage movie of late - looked thrilled to be there as he rolled by in a slick leather jacket. Fellow songstress Christina Aguilera made sure she threw out her support via Twitter, posting a photo of Miley on stage clad in her once-signature leather chaps with an accompanying caption that said: 'Cheers from one dirrty girl to the next, Miley Cyrus... wear 'em loud & proud girl - yes!!' There was no shortage of love for Miley as she continued on her Bangerz tour, continuing to whip. up a frenzy at least every second day with her variety of on-stage antics and shameless tongue-lashings.
