Butter wouldn't melt: Miley Cyrus posts a pre-twerk elementary school photo on Twitter

It’s been a transitional year for Miley Cyrus as she continues to sever all ties with her wholesome past as Disney poster girl Hannah Montana.
And with that year slowly drawing to a close the 20-year-old singer appeared to be in a reflective mood on Monday when she tweeted a picture of herself as a child for the benefit of her 15,000,000 followers.
The black and white shot shows an infant Miley cheerfully smiling in a year book photo beneath which her real name, Destiny Cyrus, is legible.

The winds of change: Miley Cyrus pictured an image of herself during her elementary school years on Twitter, beneath which her real name - Destiny Cyrus - is legible 

That name derived from her parents rather prescient belief that she would go on to achieve great things – long before she auditioned for the role that launched her career.

 It’s likely that Miley’s shot was taken at Heritage Elementary School in Nashville suburb Franklin – her childhood home before relocating to Los Angeles.

The picture of innocence is in stark contrast to shots of the twerk obsessed singer’s notorious performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV Video Music Awards.

So different: Miley's latest shot is a world away from recent images of her notorious performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV VMAs

Indeed, Miley is unearthing her Disney roots as she attempts to establish herself as a credible recording artist courtesy of her new, R&B infused album Bangerz.
Her behaviour has also been reaising more than one eyebrow of late, with the singer's latest outing coming at  1 Oak nightclub in New York  - where she partied with Lindsay Lohan.
A source told RadarOnline: ‘Lindsay Lohan was at a nearby table and came running over to Miley’s table. The girls started giggling and whispering. 

Blonde wigs, flesh coloured lingerie... and Botticelli's Birth Of Venus: Lady Gaga is out of this world as she performs two new tracks on The X Factor

It was always going to be an outlandish affair, but even by her own attention grabbing standards Lady GaGa’s much anticipated performance on The X Factor proved to be surprisingly subdued.
The singer is currently preparing for the release of third album ARTPOP, and her appearance at the Fountain Studios in Wembley on Sunday evening was just the latest in a furious and frequently bizarre promotional campaign ahead of its release on November 8.
Following an extroverted piece of performance art in Berlin on Friday, Gaga was on the X Factor stage wearing a blonde wig and dressed in flesh coloured lingerie while she strummed the opening chords of promotional single Venus on an acoustic guitar.

Surrounded by a troupe of scantily clad dancers, Gaga worked her way through the first verse of what was originally intended to be the second single from the new LP, before it was dropped in favour of Do What U Want, featuring R. Kelly.
Despite its downgrade, the track was afforded a huge stage on Sunday night, with the singer performing in front of Botticelli’s The Birth Of Venus – a theme that has been recurrent of late.
Indeed, Gaga had previously stepped out wearing a Boticelli print dress on Saturday, days after unveiling the artwork for Venus, also inspired by the iconic piece of renaissance art.

Quite a sight: Gaga and her dancers perform on Sunday night's X Factor live show

On Sunday, the singer’s flesh coloured bra came decorated with sea shells that were ripped off long before the track reached its one and only chorus.
The tone changed somewhat as the song segued into Do What U Want, prompting the dancers to exit the stage, leaving Gaga alone behind her piano.
Her performance would end with her on top of it, where she was joined by host Dermot O’Leary as the audience provided rapturous applause.

EXCLUSIVE: Who's that girl? Never-before seen risque pictures of Madonna go up for auction

The dark haired teenager with the flinty eyes stares up at the camera, clad in nothing but a man’s striped shirt and burgundy tie and chewing seductively on a pair of glasses.

The steely expression that she went on to perfect while en route to becoming one of the world’s biggest stars, amassing an estimated fortune of $500million, is already present.

Aged 18, in late 1977, a University of Michigan dance student named Madonna Louise Ciccone posed nude at $10 an hour for photographer Herman Kulkens - only for the pictures to surface less than 10 years later after she became a household name.

Unseen: Queen of Pop Madonna poses for this never-seen-before photo - clad in nothing but a men's shirt and tie - for pictures that were found in a haul belonging to late Penthouse owner Bob Guccione

Who's that girl? A young, nude Madonna brushes the hair of an unknown woman

Erotic: Years before she would publish her steamy book, Sex, Madonna posed for nude photos - including one where she donned nothing but a wide-brimmed hat

In another never-seen before picture, now up for auction, superstar Madonna, now 55, is nude as she brushes a woman's hair.
While another shot shows her standing naked with her back to the camera with just a wide-brimmed hat on her head - and a blanket draped around her legs.
And with a smile on her face, the young girl poses topless for Kulkens for pictures that would be at the center of a legal battle in 1985 when both Penthouse and Playboy attempted to print them.
The sensational images are among the haul left behind by Penthouse founder Bob Guccione who died of cancer aged 79 in October 2010, and now owned by Wall Street trader turned entrepreneur and financier Jeremy Frommer who bought Guccione's entire estate from his creditor last year.
Long-lost images of Arnold Schwarzenegger, President Bill Clinton's mistress Gennifer Flowers and Lauren Hutton among others were found among the papers, photos, slides and letters belonging to Guccione that Jeremy and associates have carefully spent hours sifting through.

For Madonna, the publication of the nude photos would not have come a shock. She posed naked for three photographers between 1978 and 1980.

Teenager: Madonna was just 18 in 1977 when she posed nude for photographer Herman Kulkens. The pictures would be published less than 10 years later when she became a star

'My father was a hustler. He was a drug dealer': Sean 'Diddy' Combs opens up for first time about dad Melvin's death as he promotes new music TV network Revolt

Sean 'Diddy' Combs opened up for the first time on Wednesday about his father, who was killed when he was just an infant.

A known associate of convicted drug dealer Frank Lucas, Melvin Combs was shot dead while sitting in his car in New York City at the age of 33 - something the hip-hop mogul made the decision not to publicly talk about until now.
'My father was killed when I was 3 yrs old. we never got to share the moments that made me a man today..but he lives in my spirit..now I'm ready to tell the story YOUTUBE.COM/REVOLTTV #MelvinsSon,' Diddy posted on Twitter, with a link to his new music television project, Revolt TV.

'I have his hustler's mentality, his hustler's spirit': Sean 'Diddy' Combs opened up for the first time on Wednesday about his late father, Melvin, who was killed when he was just three years old, as he launched new music TV network Revolt

In the intimate video titled 'Confessions', the 43-year-old sits down in his New York City apartment at 5.47am to talk about the father he barely knew yet still managed to shape him.

'Being that my father was killed when I was three years old, I don't have a lot of memories of my father,' he begins.

'They say you can't miss something you never had, but that's only a little ways right. There's definitely been times as I've gotten older that I've missed my father - his presence - not being here... There's things that you would ask your father. There's also things that you would celebrate with him that would make him proud.'

Referring to Melvin as a 'hustler', the successful entrepreneur and businessman cites his father's shortcomings as the inspiration to really make something of his own life.

Bringing back memories: The hip-hop mogul looked lost in thought as he headed out for an early meal in Beverly Hills that same day, after revealing that his father was 'gonna be on my mind a lot today'

Rolling with the homies: The star was accompanied by girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura and a male pal at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ, before his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! later that night

'My father was a hustler. He was a drug dealer and he was a hustler, so I learned early in life that there's only two ways out of that dead-end jail. It made me work even harder.

'Sometimes you can't just answer why things happen, but I definitely think the route that I went on
- staying out of the streets and hitting my books and trying to be somebody - I think he played a role in that,' he says.

'I have his hustler's mentality, his hustler's spirit, his drive, his determination, his swag.'

The clip concludes with a rather poignant statement: 'He's gonna be on my mind a lot today. My father's name was Melvin Combs and I'm Melvin's son, Sean Combs.'

A father himself, Diddy has five children to three different women, all of whom he dotes on and plays a significant role in their lives.
Earlier in the day, the star shared a series of messages about his late father as he encouraged fans to check out the intimate two-and-a-half-minute video.

'I've never spoken openly about my father ..but launching @Revolttv moved me to share and let ppl kno the truth (sic),' he started, before adding, 'For every young person who lost their Father or grew up without parents know you can still conquer the WORLD!!

'My father was killed when I was 3 yrs old...we didn't share a lot of moments but he's always lived in my spirit!!'

Dubbed the first 'Multi-Platform TV Network', it is 'powered by Music, Driven by Culture & Fueled by You!' - according to its Twitter account.

The rapper officially launched the network he hopes to make 'the ESPN of music' on Monday, with three days of live-streaming content via YouTube, before it begins airing on Time Warner and some Comcast outlets.

'I want to know, who is Taylor Swift? Why is Miley Cyrus twerking? Why did Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake go on tour? Why did Kanye West call his daughter "North"?' Entertainment Weekly reports him saying of the concept.

'The industry of music is just as important, or more important, as the industry of sports. Sports are covered in a serious manner and we want to follow in those footsteps.'

Pictured for the first time: Bride-to-be whose future husband made a hoax bomb threat on their wedding day because he got cold feet... and she's standing by her man

The first picture has emerged of the bride-to-be who turned up to her wedding venue only to find it swarming with police after the groom had made a hoax call pretending explosives were hidden there.
Amy Williams arrived at St George's Hall, in Liverpool, wearing her white dress on her wedding day, but found bomb disposal units and police officers searching the venue from top to bottom.
Neil McArdle sparked the bomb scare because he did not want to tell Miss Williams he had failed to finalise their wedding plans.

He was jailed for a year yesterday at Liverpool Crown Court, which was told the couple are still together but, six months on from the incident, have still not tied the knot and have no plans to do so.
Miss Williams, who is still living at the couple's address in Kirkby, Merseyside, today refused to comment and asked to be left alone.
A neighbour said: 'They had both been very quiet over the last few days and I hadn't seen them since before the weekend.
'What he did was very stupid and it's a shame because she's a lovely young girl.
'Amy's devastated at everything that's happened and I think she just wants some time to herself to try and take it all in.'
The couple had pencilled in a date at the iconic building but the groom realised he had not filled in the 'right to marry' forms to legalise the marriage.

Threats: McArdle called the Grade II-listed St George's Hall in Liverpool and told staff that there were explosives hidden inside the famous building

The 36-year-old admitted making a hoax call in a panic, from a phone box near his home.

A quirky step too far? Katy Perry looks shocking in purple lipstick and completely see-through dress at Prism album launch

Katy Perry celebrated the release of her new album, Prism, on Tuesday night with several thousand of her nearest and dearest fans.

The star took to the stage at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, California for a performance and Q&A with Mario Lopez, which was live-streamed on 175 Clear Channel stations.

The songstress, who turns 29 on Friday, wowed the audience with her rendition of Roar, though all eyes were on her rather interesting ensemble, which consisted of a silver leotard worn under a clear plastic dress, with silver hologram-look belt, fishnet stockings and white platform heels.

She was flanked by two backing singers clad in white dresses and lace-up ankle boots and a four-piece band also wearing all white as she treated her adoring public to a sample of her new work.

The feisty singer wore her black locks in a wavy styled down 'do and went a little overboard with the bronzer on her face, clearly going for that sun-kissed look.

Purple lipstick added to her unusual overall appearance, though she somehow managed to pull it off.

Katy appeared happy and relaxed as she later sat down with the Extra TV host to talk about her album, which drops today.

It's a knockout! The songstress sang her heart out as she took to the stage in a rather unusual outfit consisting of a silver leotard worn under a clear plastic dress with hologram belt, fishnets and white platform heels

Talking previously to USA Today, she revealed that Prism is 'less over-the-top and more "me"'.

'There were good songs that I left off, like Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Reborn. It's gritty and angry and has a dark side, and it didn't fit how I feel now,' she explained of her writing process. 'Sometimes you have to write those songs to get them out of the way.'

Telling the publication she is 'very excited to unleash' her latest baby to the world, the ever-optimistic star admitted she doesn't think 'the idea that light always wins over the darkness' is 'cheesy'.

Recalling how Prism came to life, Perry revealed she spent plenty of productive time in the studio in Santa Barbara with Bonnie McKee, Dr Luke and Cirkut, before retreating to Stockholm, Sweden where she recorded with Max Martin, Bloodshy and Klas Ahlund of Teddybears.
