Miley simulates sex in most X-rated pictures to date... as she poses for pornographic Terry Richardson shoot

She has defiantly stood her ground against critics following her controversial MTV VMAs performance. 

And Miley Cyrus is clearly enjoying the attention - so much so that she's taken her racy behaviour a step further. 

The 20-year-old is seen simulating sex in a shocking new Terry Richardson shoot released Thursday, as she swiped back at Sinead O'Connor's open letter pleading with her not to let the music industry 'make a prostitute' of her.

The images are unashamedly pornographic in nature, showing the former child star in a series of overtly sexual poses, wearing next to nothing. 

In a number of pictures, she wears a tiny leotard that barely covers the lower part of her body, featuring a G-string in the back, and a not much thicker strap in the front. 

In one shot, she leans against a wall with her hand while fondling herself; in another, she pulls the front of the leotard so high that she exposes half her crotch.

Are drugs and divorce killing the Kardashians? Ratings for E! reality show are so low its in 'jeopardy of being cancelled'

How much longer will the world be interested in Keeping Up With the Kardashians?

The show looks to be on the brink of being cancelled as less and less people tune in, per RadarOnline.

Sunday's episode reached an all-time low of only 1.7m viewers, which is half of what the reality series was getting in its heyday of 2009 and far less than the 4.1m viewers that tuned in just after Kim Kardashian tied the knot with Kris Humphries.

Negative press seems to be playing a big part in the downfall of the once mighty reality show.

The family has been plagued by scandal for years now, starting with skepticism over how real Kim's relationship with Humphries was.

Not only have Kris and Bruce Jenner have been fighting on the show nonstop and the Olympian is reportedly looking to hire a lawyer to end his marriage.

But Khloe has been facing a nightmare situation with reports that her estranged husband Lamar Odom is doing drugs and sleeping around with various women.

Add to the mix that Kim hasn't been around much, having holed up for months after the June birth of her daughter North that she had with rapper Kanye West. When she does step out these days, like she did for fashion week in Paris, her appearance is ridiculed.

No wonder Sunday's episode 'Baby Shower Blues' tanked.

SPOILER ALERT: Runaway groom Alfie Moon makes a great escape during wedding to Roxy in EastEnders

They've not had the smoothest of romances since getting together last Christmas.

And it looks like Alfie Moon and Roxy Mitchell are unlikely be getting their happy ending after the Queen Vic landlord does a runner during their wedding.

Alfie has been trying to fight off his feelings for his ex-wife Kat Slater, but it looks like they get the better of him... rather inconveniently on his wedding day.

The EastEnders cast were spotted filming the wedding scenes in Southend, Essex this week, with Alfie going to great lengths to rush to the airport to stop Kat from leaving.

Having ditched poor Roxy at the alter, Alfie and best man Ian Beale jump in a car to race to Southend airport.

However, after their vehicle is stuck behind a car accident, Alfie is worried he'll have to continue his journey on foot.

Introducing MC Nialler! One Direction's Niall Horan posts shirtless rap video online...much to the delight of his fans!!

He may be part of Britain's most manufactured boy-band, but One Direction's Niall Horan clearly has a secret 'street' edge to his talents.

The 20 year-old singer, from Mullingar in Ireland, recently published a topless video of himself rapping like a pro with fellow 1D band mate, Liam Payne.

Wearing black sunglasses and a T-shirt draped over his shoulders, the blond star can be seen recreating Coolio's 1995 hit Gangsta's Paradise with a series of urban gestures which belie his innocent appearance.

Even Harry Styles makes a fleeting appearance in the clip - although seems oblivious to the tomfoolery surrounding him.

Referring to himself as MC Nialler, Niall teases fans with a message about the band's forthcoming studio album, Midnight memories. He says: "Yo, MC Nialler in the mix. Big up! New album coming soon."

Khloé Kardashian 'prepares divorce papers' for Lamar Odom as mom Kris Jenner says her daughter is staying 'strong'!

Khloé Kardashian might have to hand over that 12.5 karat, nearly $1 million diamond engagement ring soon.On Friday, it was reported by RadarOnline that the reality star has been secretly meeting with her lawyer to draw up divorce papers to dissolved her four-year marriage to Lamar Odom.

The same day, her mother, Kris Jenner, broke her silence, telling E! her daughter is 'strong' and 'resilient'.

'She's very sensitive and she loves really hard and she feels with all of her soul,' Kris said from the set of Hello Ross.

'But she also has the ability to put that game face on and go out there in the world and do what she needs to do.'

As far as filing divorce papers, Radar's source says, 'All she needs to do is tell the lawyer to file the petition. She has even signed the divorce papers, in anticipation.'

But she is not ready to 'pull the trigger.'

The site reports that the 29-year old 'feels she has no other options at this point because Lamar is unwilling to go to rehab.'

There is the hope that if Khloé does file, 'Lamar will realise he must get help,' says the source.

Another source told Radar the situation 'is too far gone at this point for a split to be anything but unavoidable.'

The report also says that the E! star at one point thought about getting pregnant, hoping that would sober up her spouse.

Case dismissed! Selena Gomez' protracted legal dispute with broke perfume company has been 'thrown out of court'.... but could still cost her millions!!

The protracted court dispute between Selena Gomez and liquidated perfume manufacturer Adrenalina, Inc has been dismissed by a Los Angeles judge – but could still end up costing the singer millions of dollars. 

Selena, 20, counter-sued the Florida based company in May after they accused her of backing out of a multi-million dollar endorsement deal for a new perfume, to be sold in her name. 

Adrenalina claim they invested more than $2 million into the manufacture and marketing of the fragrance after she agreed to be spokesperson for the brand in 2011.

'I missed my little angel!': Kim Kardashian shares SECOND picture of baby girl North West after mother and daughter are reunited following star's trip to Paris

It has been well over a month since the very first picture of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby girl North West emerged.

But the 32-year-old reality star has now shared a second snap of her adorable daughter with the world on Instagram.

And judging by the heart-melting image, North appears to have grown quite a bit in the past few weeks.

The tiny tot is seen swaddled up tight in a baby blanket and resting on a very expensive-looking fluffy whit rug.

Her eyes are looking up in the image and she has grown many, many strands of dark hair on her head. 

With her chubby little cheeks and big brown eyes, little North is looking like the perfect combination of both her mother and father.

In an accompanying caption, Kim, who has been in Paris for the last few days with Kanye wrote: 'I missed waking up with my little angel.'  

On Tuesday night, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was seen arriving back in Los Angeles following her trip to France for Paris Fashion Week. 

She no doubt jetted straight home to get baby North from the clutches of her momager Kris Jenner, who had supposedly been helping out on baby sitting duties.

It had been reported that Kim warned her family not to share photos of her daughter while she was away.

Kim is said to have left North - who she calls 'Nori' - in the care of her mother, Kris, and sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, while she attended PFW with her boyfriend.

She reportedly instructed them to be extra cautious about the pictures they share on Twitter and Instagram while she was away.

A source told gossip website NaughtyButNiceRob.com: 'Kim does not think for one minute that her mom or sisters would try to sell pictures of North.'
