Sinèad O'Connor Pens Open Letter to Miley Cyrus

 

With over 20 years in the music business, Sinèad O'Connor has plenty of advice to give and give it she did in an open letter to Miley Cyrus.
The 46-year-old Irish singer-songwriter was compelled to reach out after hearing that Miley's Wrecking Ball video was inspired by the one for Sinèad's Nothing Compares.

"I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way 'cool' to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos," Sinèad wrote. "It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether it's the music business or yourself doing the pimping."
"The music business doesn't give a sh*t about you, or any of us," she continues. "They will prostitute you for all you are worth, and cleverly make you think its what YOU wanted... and when you end up in rehab as a result of being prostituted, 'they' will be sunning themselves on their yachts in Antigua, which they bought by selling your body and you will find yourself very alone."
Sinèad went on to suggest that Miley, 20, missed the mark on capturing the true spirit of the Nothing Compares video, writing, "The look I chose, I chose on purpose at a time when my record company were encouraging me to do what you have done. I felt I would rather be judged on my talent and not my looks. I am happy that I made that choice, not least because I do not find myself on the proverbial rag heap now that I am almost 47 yrs of age, which unfortunately many female artists who have based their image around their sexuality, end up on when they reach middle age."

Still, Sinèad does praise the former Disney star for her "obvious" talent and leaves her with a somewhat uplifting message.
"As for the shedding of the Hannah Montana image... whoever is telling you getting naked is the way to do that does absolutely NOT respect your talent, or you as a young lady," she wrote. "Your records are good enough for you not to need any shedding of Hannah Montana. She's waaaaaaay gone by now.. Not because you got naked but because you make great records."

Meet the Artist Who Paints With His Pénís (PICTURES)

Im Path PHOTOS: Meet the Artist Who Paints With His Pénís
im Patch is an artist from Australia, whose nickname is Prickasso. The Australian gained a worldwide recognition as he uses his pénís instead of a paintbrush to create pictures!
The artist became popular after exhibiting on 10th Annual Sexexpo Show back in 2006. Tim presented his pictures and declared himself as the founder of a new genre – pĂ©nĂ­s-art.
Since then Tim Patch has really became a master of such an unconventional painting technique. More pictures after cut:
It’s really symbolic that Prickasso, who uses his child-making Ă³rgĂ¡n, therefore gives birth to new pictures.
Tim Patch admits that he is more interested in drawing women’s portraits. Politicians celebrities and nature have a lower priority in his works.
It’s hard to imagine how these ladies feel, as they see a nakĂ©d man is just several meters away from them
