Miley Cyrus doesn’t do things by halves. If she’s going to wear sequins then she’s going to turn up with sequinned nipple pasties, jacket, trousers, heels and multiple garish hair accessories. If, say, she’s going to talk about her breasts, then she’s going to tell us absolutely everything she thinks about her own, yours, nipples and even what her dad thinks of them. All this was demonstrated last night during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel.

It was only two weeks ago that she was making strong points in defence of her boobs and their frequent appearance in photos and in the media; now she’s back to clarify everything.

Kimmel, a bit weirdly, was getting distracted by them. What to do when trying to have a conversation in this situation? Well, according to Miley, “Sometimes it’s a good icebreaker. You can just be like, stop staring at my tits and the convo just kind of keeps going.” Good to know.

Kimmel then asked what her dad thought of seeing her on TV similarly exposed. She replied, “My dad would rather I have my tits out and be a good person than have my shirt on and be a bitch.” Later she said: “I see a lot of people with their clothes on, and they’re kind of assholes. When you have your tits out you can’t really be an asshole.” Amazing logic.

She's very aware of what her country thinks is okay and not okay when it comes to women's chests too. “America’s actually fine with tits, it’s nipples they don’t like."

Oh, and just in case you were wondering about her preferred noun: “I hate the word ‘boob’.”
