Miley Cyrus's Vogue cover CANCELLED by Anna Wintour following controversial VMA performance

Miley Cyrus’s crude dance at the MTV Video Music Awards has cost her the coveted cover slot on American Vogue.

‘Anna found the whole thing distasteful,’ a source says. ‘She decided, based on Miley’s performance, to take the cover in a different direction.’

Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville turned down the role of Paul Burrell in the new Diana film – because he detests being mistaken for the former Royal butler in real life.



Hugh, 49, the Earl of Grantham in the hit ITV series, was offered the part opposite Naomi Watts.

Bonneville has been chased by paparazzi who mistake him for the butler, and once angrily shouted in public: ‘I’m not f***ing Paul Burrell.’

The part went to Vanity Fair star Douglas Hodge.

Who cares? Miley certainly didn't seem bothered on Saturday, tweeting a picture of herself in a skimpy top and declaring '#TomFord #vintagechanel #breakinouttheLoubz #germany' Oh Miley! Another tweet showed her posing with dwarf performers

Now Mitch causes a hitch to Amy statue

The unveiling of a memorial statue of Amy Winehouse has been delayed – because the late singer’s father Mitch doesn’t like it.

The bronze, by artist Scott Eaton, was due to be presented next week at the Roundhouse in Camden, North London, close to where Amy lived, but the sculptor has been told to redo it. The ceremony has been put off until next year.

‘Mitch wants it to be just right and he doesn’t want anything to go up that he’s not completely satisfied with,’ said Amy’s former boyfriend Reg Traviss, 36.



‘But obviously it’s never going to look exactly like her.’
