Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus are not getting biblical, hooking up, or any other kind of idiom for having sex, so says the lady herself.
The “We Can’t Stop” songstress effortlessly shut down rumors that sparked after TMZ claimed sources saw the pair “hardcore flirting” at Beacher’s Madhouse at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday morning.
Just so we’re clear, this startling conclusion was reached in the space of, oh, 15 minutes or so after Bieber arrived at 1:50 am, just before he and Cyrus left the party for destinations unknown.
Naturally, in the primeval realm of online journalism that report triggered a flood of speculation based on, well, very little.
Cyrus, who has been friends with her “homie” (as she calls Bieber) for years and, in fact, spent time with the Canadian the day before their Beacher’s hang, nixed the tongue-wagging in a Tuesday radio interview.
Asked if she was dating the 19-year-old during a guest spot on Washington, D.C., radio show Hot 99.5’s The Kane Show, La Cyrus pulled no punches:
“‘I’m engaged! I’m engaged. That is impossible,” she replied .
The singer was also asked for her take on Amanda Bynes, whose habit of calling random people “ugly” saw her recently unleash on Cyrus on Twitter. Taking the high road, the 20-year-old said she didn’t want to add “fuel to that fire.”
Meanwhile, yet another bodyguards story is doing the rounds.
Hours after Bieber’s Beacher’s visit, he and a mixed group of around 30 friends hit Anaheim’s, Calif., Disneyland resort on Sunday night.
Mail Online reports a typical celebrity practice of temporarily sectioning off an area at public places, where crowds of would-be snappers can quickly become a chaotic situation. Bieber’s crew were reportedly given permission to ride the Space Mountain roller coaster by themselves a number of times, while Disneyland security guards — not Bieber’s — kept fans away.
Here’s where the story ante rises. Splash News alleges that anyone who tried to take a snap of Bieber “was immediately blinded as the overzealous bodyguards and Disneyland security pointed flash lights in their faces and at their cameras.”
It’s entirely possible, even likely, that flash lights were used. However, the use of flash lights is a common practice by security employed by famous clients or public figures and is often used to prevent unwanted photography.
What isn’t common are any reports of lingering “blindness” if used quickly and briefly. If there were, courts around the world would be plugged with lawsuits. In other words, it’s deliberately provocative reporting.
The group reportedly went on to enjoy other rides such as the 183-foot Tower of Terror and used backstage areas to get around the park. No doubt would-be snappers who were allegedly flashed also continued their enjoyment of the resort, with eyesight intact and unimpaired.
