The list of nominees for the MTV Music Video Awards were released earlier today and surprisingly, Miley Cyrus did not make the list! Miley is not the only one who was snubbed, American Idol contestant, Adam Lambert’s name was nowhere to be found as well. Shocking because Lambert had three chart-topping music videos on MTV. It also goes without saying that one of the most talked about music videos of the year (that being Miley Cyrus‘ Can’t Be Tamed) is not being honored. Can’t Be Tamed garnered so much attention because it highlighted Miley Cyrus’ new, more sexy image.

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards air live from Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 9PM. Fans can vote now for their favorite artists.

What do you think? Was MTV wrong for not including Miley Cyrus’ and Adam Lambert’s videos? Do you think the reason why MTV did not nominate Miley was due to her sexier image? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Last night, Miley Cyrus was on American Idol as a mentor and performer. You can watch the entire episode below:

This week’s American Idol was supposed to have the theme of “Teen Idols” where the Top American Idol performers had to perform songs from bands like The Backstreet Boys and N’Sync. However, Fox changed this week’s theme to Billboard #1s but our very own Miley Cyrus will still be performing and mentoring. You can catch her on Tuesday night’s American Idol and I can’t wait to see what kind of advice she gives the singing hopefuls!

Sixteen year old, Haeley Vaughn, sang Miley Cyrus’ hit song The Climb in this past week’s American Idol. When asked what kind of career she imagines herself having she responded, “Miley Cyrus is one of my icons. Oh my gosh, I love her….” You can watch her rendition below.

The judges didn’t think Haeley did as good of a job as she could and sadly, she did not have enough votes to stay on the show. How do you think she did?
