Miley Cyrus Makes Time For Mary Jane Ahead of the MTV VMAs

Miley Cyrus chose a very Miley Cyrus-esque ensemble for a hike with her dog, Mary Jane, in LA on Friday. She was joined by a friend who donned an equally expressive outfit, and the two walked and chatted while making their way down the trail. Miley's belly-baring afternoon comes just days before her hosting gig at the MTV VMAs on Sunday; the singer is already making headlines ahead of the show with reports of what she may bring to the stage — along with some potentially awkward moments between celebrities during the ceremony, executive producers revealed that they "have a delay" prepared in case she does anything truly over the top.

Miley also garnered attention this week when she weighed in on the recent feud between Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj; after talking about how Taylor "butted in" to Nicki's comments about the VMAs, she added, "What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It's not very polite. I think there's a way you speak to people with openness and love. You don't have to start this pop star against pop star war."
