Finally, after years and years of waiting, Miley Cyrus is allowed to drink alcohol. She turned 21 years old over the weekend, meaning she's now of legal age to drink in the United States, and so finally got a chance to taste alcohol for the first time. She was handed a glass of champagne and took a sip and giggled at the bubbles and said "I'm not sure I like the taste! It's a bit... bitter, maybe?" But she drank the whole glass and then decided she'd try something else so had the bartender make her "something delicious" and she said "Oh this is nice and sweet!" when she tried it and then that was it. She's not sure she likes alcohol, but at least now she's finally tried it. This all happened at her beloved Beacher's Madhouse, where celebrities and strippers alike gathered to welcome Miley into the mysterious world of the drinking class. What an occasion! And just think, soon it will be time for the boys of One Direction and Justin Bieber to become of age and take their first sips of beers and whiskeys and other quaffs. Everyone's getting older! [TMZ]
Miley's party was held after the American Music Awards last night, a ceremony dreamt up by Dick Clark after ABC lost broadcasting rights for the Grammys. True story! Dick Clark was like, "Oh I'll just make up an awards show then," and so he did, and they've survived for forty years. So yeah, they were on last night and everyone was there — Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, One Direction. Which, uh oh! Those last two could be a problem, 'cause Swift and 1D member Harry Styles dated for a while and then awkwardly broke up. But don't worry. Swift, who said "I'm 23 and I have no idea what's going to happen to me" while accepting an award last night, displayed a new maturity by simply walking by Styles and his bandmates backstage without saying our doing anything. No screaming, no crying, no hissing, no gnashing of teeth. She didn't even write a song about it! She just walked by them and that was that. No harm, no foul. So that's good. People growing, people changing. Taylor Swift may have no idea what's going to happen to her, but she can at least handle herself around an ex. Maybe someday she'll be ready to try alcohol too.
