London’s Daily Mail reports she brought on a “a back-up dancer dressed up as former US President Bill Clinton."  “Miley's most shocking move was when she performed a racy song-and-dance with the Clinton impersonator during her ‘Party In The USA’ finale number.” The media want to say all this will Not Be…
