Long before the VMA performance seen around the world, Miley Cyrus gained a bit of controversy for the music video for her first "Bangerz" single "We Can't Stop." The music video, full of the former Disney star writhing around on a bed, twerking and partying with her friends was quite scandalous but at least I was heralded as an original idea.

It seems as though the news about Miley Cyrus and twerking just can't stop. This time, however, it's not about the infamous VMAs performance.

Rick Ross has found himself in hot water as of late, and I'm not talking the surf off of South Beach. His guest verse on the song "U.O.E.N.O." (when said quickly it sounds like "You don't even know") raised the ire of many a woman's group with the date rape-y lyric of "Put molly all in her champagne/ She ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it."
