Here's something to wag a tongue at: MTV says Miley Cyrus is the best artist of the year. The former child star twerked her way to the top. Her eye-popping duet with Robin Thicke on the MTV Video Music Awards was one of the year's most talked about cultural events. MTV said Monday the VMA duet on "We Can't Stop" and "Blurred Lines" was the year's most watched video on its websites. Similarly, the MTV artist site devoted to Cyrus had more visits than any other artist's.

Drew Barrymore isn't exactly feeling the pregnancy glow. "I feel so lucky to make healthy kids that I will never complain about anything because I just know how lucky I am," the 38-year-old actress said at a recent event for her beauty brand, Flower. "But I definitely don't feel superhot. I feel more like an Oompa Loompa." Barrymore and her husband, Will Kopelman, are expecting their second child. Their daughter, Olive, is 14 months old.
