Miley Cyrus has spoken out against her one-time "favourite" band, Radiohead. In an interview with a Portland radio station reprinted by Pitchfork, the teen star vented her anger at the band for snubbing her at this year's Grammy Awards.

The singer, who claims Radiohead are "the reason I love music", was less than amused when the band turned down an invitation to meet her backstage at the Los Angeles event last month.

Apparently, when she extended the invitation to meet the band, Radiohead's team told Cyrus's people that "the band doesn't really do that."

"The reason I'm in this business is to make people happy," she said, implying that Radiohead aren't. She added, "I left 'cause I was so upset. I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone."

Thing is her handlers have probably snubbed more than their share of "important" people during her "career".... It's only a matter of time before damage control kicks in.... Kinds like the hubbub over the vanity fair photos

WTF is she going to do to "ruin" RH?  turn the 10-to-14-year-old female demographic against them?

actually, she could start covering radiohead songs - that would definitely lower their stock :D

radiohead aren't in it to make people happy?  really?  has she read any RH lyrics?

If you all actually listened to this interview, she's laughing when she says it and was being sarcastic in response to a DJ saying it was alright to reveal what band it was that "snubbed" her. There's lots of things to flip out on Miley Cyrus over, but this isn't really one.

She drops some Creep at the end of the interview.

More atrocious from her interview was her calling Boys II Men rap, her saying she heard a "rumor" that Kings Of Leon's dad was a preacher, and one of the DJs stating several times that he had never even heard of Radiohead.

Miley doesn't have to ruin Radiohead.  They've been doing a pretty good job of ruining themselves over the last decade without her help...

i was going to post a snarky response to that, but instead i'll give you the benefit of the doubt: please define "ruining themselves".  i can think of several indicator by which they can be considered extremely successful.  let's not confuse "ruin" with personal disapproval.

Anyone think it's lame that they refused?  I mean come on...I know Radiohead isn't really "kid-friendly," but she's a teenage girl that supposedly loves the band.  Get off your high, depressed horse and just do a quick meet & greet.  What a bunch of primadonnas...

West has constantly declared his love of Radiohead and especially Yorke?s solo album The Eraser. ?I don?t listen to rap in my apartment, I listen to Thom Yorke,? Yeezy posted in November 2008. But the snub perturbed the 808s rapper. ?So when he performed at the Grammys, I sat the fuck down,?

  Excellently put.  Who would want to meet Kanye West anyway, he's the worlds biggest "douche".

 Hell, if Kanye West came to my plant and wanted to meet me, i'd snub him too.  and I aint even that cool.

I'd give Kanye less slack because he's a grown ass man (in age, anyway), but for fuck's sake, Miley is a 15 year old girl that wanted to meet a band she's a fan with.  Of course RH have every right to snub her, but I'm guessing it's less of a "we don't do that" and more of a "we don't want our photo taken with someone so obviously not in our cool stratosphere."  It's lame.

Besides, this guy is a fucking ton cooler than Thom will ever be...and hedon't seem to be on any bullshit high horse:

My guess is that Radiohead had dozens of these requests at The Grammys.  They were probably the most in-demand group there.  I'll bet that was just their stock answer to just about everyone.    And note that it's "her people asked their people."  It's not like she called Thom personally and he said no.   I kind of feel bad for her, but I wouldn't read too much into it on Radiohead's side of things.    That's showbiz.

I don't understand why, if she was in fact sitting 4 rows behind them as she claimed, she didn't just get up during one of the commercials, walk 12 feet, and stick out her hand for a handshake and say she's a big fan. I doubt Thom Yorke would've crossed his arms and refused to make eye contact.

  because she didnt want to "meet" them , she wanted a big dumb photo op with them so she could perhaps appeal to some other demographic or gain some adult cred.  as Mobius said , pure narcissism.

In other news, Kanye West is sometimes referred to as Yeezy.  Um, right.  That's the definition of hip right there.

Well, Watt can't really snub her because he played on her album.

Yeah, that's right, she gets her picture taken with Radiohead and all of a sudden she's not a teeny-bopper and the pitchfork kiddies are listening to 7 Things I Hate About You. Come on, save your uselessness for in bed with your wife. :rolleyes:

Radiohead's Thom Yorke Schools Miley Cyrus & Kanye West on Humility

When Radiohead refused to meet Miley Cyrus and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards last month, the starlet threatened to "ruin" them and the rapper refused to stand for their performance. Now the In Rainbows band is fighting back.

Cyrus kicked off the feudin' during an appearance on the Johnjay and Rich radio show and rambled on for more than six minutes about how the band dissed her after she begged her manager to set up an introduction.

"I'm like, these are the people I really want to meet," she said. "I'd freak out. They're my rock gods. These are the only people that I would cry over?My manager asked and said, 'Miley's really obsessed. And they were like, 'We don't really do that.' "

She continued on in disbelief about the Thom Yorke band's lack of interest in meeting the Hannah Montana, admitting she was so disappointed about the diss, she left the show early.

"I left 'cause I was so upset," she said. "I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone."

The three-time Grammy winners responded by putting the teen in her place?

"When Miley grows up, she'll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement," the quintet said in a statement.

But the Radiohead beef buck doesn't stop there.

During the taping for his episode of VH1's Storytellers, West complained that Yorke snubbed him as well.

"When he performed at the Grammys, I sat the f--k down," the rapper said.

The British "Creep" singer, already in full retaliation mode, concluded a blog post on the band's website with a wink and a nudge to both stars. "Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you're not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing," Yorke writes.

Bring on the next round in these wars of words ('cause you know they're coming)!
