Disgruntled Miley Cyrus Fans Want 'Bangerz' Tour Shut Down

No one is surprised that Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" tour pushes the limits of performance artistry, but people are starting to wonder if she's maybe taken things a bit too far this time.

Cyrus' recent tour antics are making her MTV Video Music Awards "Blurred Lines" performance look tame and family-friendly.

"Bangerz" has all the twerking, straddling and Bill Clinton-scandal-mocking that a person could want, but not everyone's happy about it.

In fact, parents and disgruntled fans are so upset with Cyrus' antics that they want the entire "Bangerz" tour to be shut down. MusicFix reports that Cyrus' management team has been inundated with complaints about the performance, saying that it is just too racy and inappropriate for young fans. The show doesn't have a rating of any kind, so children of all ages can see it if they are accompanied by a parent. We send our regrets to any preteens who have had to watch Miley straddle a flying hot dog, stuff a thong in her mouth and simulate oral sex on a Bill Clinton impersonator while accompanied by mom and dad.

Many parents have responded to the show's reviews by posting their tickets for sale on Ebay and StubHub, while others are demanding refunds and refusing to attend. One miffed parent reportedly even contacted Cyrus' record bosses at Interscope, to say that his or her family walked out of a performance, unwilling to subject their 9-year-old child to a "porn show."

“Miley’s management have been flooded with complaints, mainly from parents, since her tour began last week in Canada with calls for the entire tour to be axed," a source told MusicFix.

Apparently, the entire team behind the tour has been called for an emergency meeting to strategize after learning that several U.S. arenas are considering dropping her act.

All we can do for now is pick our jaws up off the floor and wait for the next chapter of "Bangerz" drama to unfold.

The "X Factor U.K." judge and girlfriend Lauren Silverman welcomed their first son, Eric, on Friday (February 14). This is the first child for Cowell, 54, and the second for 34-year-old Silverman. (She also has a son, Adam, with ex-husband Andrew Silverman.)

"Very happy to say Eric was born at 17.45pm. Healthy and handsome," Cowell tweeted on Friday.

He also shared that Eric is his father's name and that Lauren is "in great shape."

Cowell reportedly flew from London to be by Silverman's side at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Earlier this month, Fox canceled "X Factor" after he announced that he was returning to the U.K. version of the reality singing competition.

Silverman announced her pregnancy in July. She was still married to Silverman, a friend of Cowell's, but the two were divorced in December.

In an interview with Ellen Degeneres in September, Cowell admitted the situation was "uncomfortable," but still was excited to become a father.

"Oh my god, this is exciting," Simon said about hearing the news. "It was kind of uncomfortable because of the situation ... these things happen. I'm actually happier than I've ever been."
