Miley Cyrus: video
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Cyrus' wax figure took 20 artists and six months to make -- starting with hand clay, then plaster casting, then wax, then acrylic eyes and teeth, then hand-placed hair and paint.
When the "Wrecking Ball" video was first released, it broke the record for being viewed more than 12.3 million times within 24 hours. (It would later be dethroned by Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video).
The video later won Video of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), where Cyrus let her homeless friend Jesse Helt accept the award on her behalf.
In related Cyrus news, the singer teased a new song with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips on Instagram earlier this week. She and her "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" collaborator and friend were shown recording music late into the night. The result is more psychedelic than the material from her 2013 pop-fueled album Bangerz and certainly draws influence from The Flaming Lips.
"Why do people only show forgiveness / When they wanna sound cool in a song," Cyrus sings with raw emotion in her voice over a trippy, meandering melody.
No word yet on where this song will appear, but if this is meant for her next album, then we'll definitely be hearing a whole new sound from the pop-shocker.
