No Twerking For You!: Miley Banned From Dominican Republic

EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Don't expect to see any twerking or giant foam fingering going on stage in Santo Domingo de Guzman this September. It looks like until she cleans up her act and stops "promoting lesbian sex," Miley Cyrus will have to keep her party in the U.S.A - or at least out of the Dominican Republic for now.

The Associated Press reports the Dominican Republic government commission that oversees public performances has banned a Sept. 13 concert by Miley Cyrus on morality grounds.

A statement released by the commission on Thursday says that the action was taken because the former "Hannah Montana" star often "undertakes acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law."

The statement as translated from spanish language news site acento.com in part reads;

The National Commission of Public Entertainment and Radio disapprove of the young singer used "inappropriate clothing, corruption of language, perverse images and lyrics, phrases with double meanings, glories crime, violence and degrading acts for civic worship, incitement to sex, lesbian sex, improper use of objects in public.

Cyrus' re-brand prior to the release of her album "Bangerz" has raised eyebrows from the media and concerns from parents of pre-teen "Hannah Montana" fans. Her onstage antics during her "Bangerz" tour have included an entrance sliding down a giant tongue, dancing with a superhuman sized inflatable penis, wearing a costume of bejeweled marijuana leaves, endless twerking, and video projections of breasts and vaginas made from pieces of candy.

A representative for Cyrus did not immediately respond to a request from the Associated Press for comment. Concert organizers in the Dominican Republic did not comment on the ban.
