AMSTERDAM (AP) — In an unabashed — and likely successful — bid for attention, singer Miley Cyrus smoked a joint on stage and twerked with a dwarf during the MTV Europe Music Awards.
The 20-year-old singer also won the best video award for her hit song Wrecking Ball.
Sunday's strong lineup of performers also included Eminem and Katy Perry.
Cyrus opened the space-themed show singing We Can't Stop, while wearing a silver spandex suit and gyrating her buttocks in the move known as twerking.
Marijuana is not legal in the Netherlands, but smokers can't be prosecuted for possession of small amounts and it is sold openly in cafes known euphemistically as "coffee shops."
Cyrus, who long ago shed her image of innocence as the child star of Hannah Montana, has made no secret of her appreciation of Amsterdam's attractions, arriving the Friday before the show and hanging out at the Greenhouse coffee shop downtown with several other stars.
She also wore marijuana leaf emblems in her earphones during a live rendition ofWrecking Ball against the backdrop of a giant video screen of herself crying.
