Miley Cyrus did it again—she still has us talking, tweeting, and writing about her most recent performance. This time, rather than shocking us with sexy time and barely-there clothing (well, I guess this kitty bikini is pretty teeny), Miley rocked the Nokia Theatre as well as the entire Internet with a lip-synching cat that shed diamond tears at the American Music Awards on Sunday night. It seems so obvious now that the only thing more viral than miss Miley is cats doing cute things. So there you have it, the perfect formula for TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION.
