Miley Cyrus said she is better than Beyonce?!

A spreading rumor today in Hollywood land said that Cyrus dissed off Beyonce by quoting that she is better than Beyonce. According to mtv.com, the "Wrecking Ball" singer quoted :

"Beyoncé has been a big inspiration to me but she's been out for such a long time," Miley reportedly said in one of the quotes. "She's so talented and I think she's at the top of the game now but people are always looking for new blood and that's what I bring to the game now, new blood. I got the total package you know, the curves, the rhythm, and the voice. I'm just the best."

and another quote:

"As Beyoncé grows in motherhood and all the crap it does to your body, it will create a vacuum for fresh young faces to rise up and no one else can properly fill that void right now. I'm the only white female singer that could fill that slot right now and do it right, you know?" she reportedly said. "I'm just the total package, you know? All things must start and end and I hope to have the same success as other icons in the game when my run is over. But for now, my run is just starting."

Even it seems that it is not a shock to us that she would really say this, given with her reputation and nasty attitude, Cyrus denied that she said it on her Twiitter account today. Here are her tweets:

Personally I do believe Miley. I like the girl. I like Beyonce more, but Miley is totally cool. I know she would never do that because she admired Beyonce. Which reminded me of their live performance for the song "Just Stand Up" with other artists, on the first part of the video, Miley kept on staring to B while the latter was singing, and it was like a look of an admiration. 

What do you think, did Miley really said those quotes?

Ai-Ai de las Alas for Congress?!!?

Another showbiz personality is eyeing a seat on Congress. Ai-Ai de las Alas confirmed in her interview in Kapamilya Network's Tapatan Ni Tunying that if she is no longer active in showbiz she will run for congress.

Congress, talaga? Another epic fail na naman to for sure. I don't question her motive in giving public service, but Congress is such a big platform. Gagawa ka ng batas teh! Leave it to the lawyers!

My sympathy is with Ai-Ai with his previously failed marriage with a younger guy which is at the very first time we knew it's gonna fail eventually. Hindi ko iaasa ang batas sa isang taong medyo mahina sa decision making and immature when choosing the right partner. Yes I am judging Ai-Ai and I don't think she is capable for the position. I know she is a good person but Congress is not for her. Tama na na may isang Manny Pacquiao dun, na I don't know kung may ginagawa nga ba siya dun sa kongreso.
