Miley Cyrus' transition from teen princess to twerk enthusiast unnerved many viewers of the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, but she's still got Justin Timberlake's support.
In a Tuesday interview with New York's Hot 97, the winner of the VMA's Vanguard Award said Cyrus' detractors needed to consider the performance in context. While her booty-shaking and suggestive hand gestures might not go down at the Grammys, they're made for an awards show that loves to push people's buttons.
