Miley Cyrus -- as Justin Bieber -- says salvia is LEGAL on SNL's 'The Miley ... - Los Angeles Times (blog)

<div readability="85.850458273"> <p><strong>Miley Cyrus</strong> let herself be spoofed on "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend on the recurring "The Miley Cyrus Show" sketch -- but she posed as <strong>Justin Bieber</strong> while doing it.</p> <p>Cyrus, who hosted the variety show Saturday by singing her monologue and pretending to be <strong>Lindsay Lohan</strong>, let the writers poke fun at her in stride as they took on her semi-nude <strong>Annie Leibovitz</strong> photos, Disney grooming roots and that bong-smoking scandal.</p> <p>"She was up for anything," cast member <strong>Kristen Wiig</strong> told MTV News. "That's always, to me, what makes a host fun to have around. They'll make fun of themselves or how the media perceives them. She was up for anything, which was so great."</p> <p>But Lohan didn't seem to think so. The embattled actress even wrote a letter to "SNL" creator <strong>Lorne Michaels</strong> because she was upset the show allowed Cyrus to tease her. (What a poor sport. Can't one child star make fun of another?)</p> <p>The highlight, however, was Cyrus dressed up as an eye-shadow-wearing Bieber on "The Miley Cyrus Show" segment opposite <strong>Vanessa Bayer</strong>.</p> <p>"It's a Mexican standoff if the Mexicans were tiny, talented geniuses," <strong>Jason Sudeikis </strong>said in character as always-doting daddy <strong>Billy Ray Cyrus</strong>.</p> <p>Bayer, an "SNL" newbie, all-too-convincingly mimicked Cyrus' toothy smile and loud, nasal voice to blood-curdling annoyance levels. And Cyrus effectively parodied Bieber's hair flips, crotch grabs and ultra-laid-back interview style.</p> <p>Here's some of what they did (CAPS added for blood-curdling emphasis):</p> <p><strong>Fake Miley:</strong> WAIT A MINUTE, JUSTIN BIEBER, DID YOU CUT YOUR HAIR?</p> <p><strong>Real Miley as the Biebs:</strong> Yeah, you know, it's an image change. I also do the middle finger now.</p> <p><strong>Fake Miley:</strong> SO YOU'RE GROWING UP. LIKE ME ... DOING SALVIA! DID YOU KNOW I SMOKED SALVIA?</p> <p><strong>Real Miley as the Biebs:</strong> You know, there's no reason why you wouldn't. Because it's TOTALLY LEGAL, YO!</p> <p>Point made, Miley. Point made.</p> <p><strong>RELATED:</strong></p> <p>'Miley Cyrus' on 'SNL': Pretty cool?
