EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt – from the top to the very bottom.
Miley Cyrus has announced that her twerking days are over, due to competition. She made the pronouncement at the MTV VMAs last night, telling an interviewer: “I’ve retired [from twerking], yeah.”
She said that she was ceding the twerkosphere to Nicki Minaj, adding poignantly:
That ass … I ain’t got that ass. I can bring that body, I can bring that wrecking ball, but I can’t bring that ass. Not that Anaconda.

Remember this? RIP Miley’s twerking.

Brendan Gleeson hates selfies. He hit out at the phenomenon in an interview, saying that the “price you pay” for fame is submission to the “selfie machine”. (We think he means ‘selfie machine’ in the sense of, like, the selfie-industrial complex. Rather than, you know, a camera.)
Gleeson told the Evening Herald he avoids certain places because of all the people wanting selfies with him, but added: “I wouldn’t ever trade it.” (Evening Herald)
Jessie J is moving to America because she’s NOT APPRECIATED on this side of the Atlantic. She said she’s selling her London home and upping sticks for Hollywood, where people see her as a singer.
In America they see me as a singer whereas here I feel that people don’t appreciate my voice. I’ve dedicated my life to singing and I want it to be taken seriously. Here it seems that all people want to know is what I’ve had for breakfast and who I’m sleeping with.
FYI: Cornflakes. (Evening Standard)
