No one likes paying taxes, and some people, well, don’t.  We get it – it’s more fun to have more money, but then it all catches up with you.  The IRS finds you, takes your money, your house, your cars, your Vespa, your bling, your fancy salt water fish tank, and your dignity.  All you’re left with is your chihuahua, and a block of cheese.  Well, they’ll probably take that too.

In the spirit of taxation, join Kristin Mineo on THEPOPFIX as we count down the POP 5 Celebrities Who Suck At Paying Taxes.

Call her what you will – bad influence, druggie, shameless – no matter what label you put on Miley, there is one thing you can’t call her. 

Lazy.

THEPOPFIX‘s Erin Darling addresses the haters in this installment of “Worst Things I Read About Miley Cyrus.”

Strippers, and midgets, and nudity – OH MILEY! Here’s a look at how bad girl du jour Miley Cyrus celebrated her 21st birthday.

Though her actual birthday was two days ago on November 23rd, Miley rang in the big 2-1 with a birthday party to remember (or forget, depending on levels of tequila consumption) last night after the American Music Awards.

The grand festivities went down at Beacher’s Madhouse in Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel and from the looks of it, it was a mad house indeed. Miley’s party included strippers, booze o’ plenty, and dancing midgets who reenacted her infamous twerk-tastic performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV VMA’s.

Of course, the guest list included celebrities like Kelly Osbourne, Tyler, The Creator, Wiz Khalifa, and Amber Rose, who were all able to take a bite out of the birthday girl in confectionary form as Miley’s multi-colored, tired birthday cake prominently featured a nude doll made in her likeness, wearing nothing but a few strategically placed marijuana leaves.

Scandalous!

She may be one year older, but it doesn’t look like anything is slowing down the self-proclaimed girl who “can’t be tamed.”

How do you think Miley’s recovering today after her big 21st birthday bash?

Thanks to a recent breakup, a series of racy photoshoots, and a very controversial VMA performance, it seems like Miley Cyrus can’t stop finding her way into the headlines. Although we’ve seen various media outlets treat these incidents as if they were the end of the world, Miley proved that she’s got a sense of humor about it all.

Miley kicked off the show with a self-parodying post-apocalyptic sketch that traced the end of America back to the 2013 VMA’s. The sketch featured future-Miley played by Vanessa Bayer warning the real Miley not to go through with her sexed up VMA performance, but to no avail. The sketch was heightened SNL actor Taran Killam showed up as Robin Thicke, asking Miley if she was read to hit the stage and grind up on his nether regions.

As they say, “the rest is history.”

The parody sketches didn’t stop there. Next up Miley starred as Congresswoman Michele Bachmann in “We Did Stop” a scandalous take on her own song and music video for “We Can’t Stop” which featured the SNL cast as high profile members of the Republican party having a rager celebrating the government shut down. Miley’s Bachmann wore only a blazer, booty shorts, and an exposed bra, while actor Taran Killam played a scantily clad John Boehner, dressed in a wife beater and undies.

And yes, there was booty-shaking, pool-jumping, and quite a few “bills in the house like we don’t care.”

Other sketch highlights included Miley asa very low-stakes Scarlett Johansson in an audition for the upcoming “50 Shades Of Grey” movie, a jaded morning news anchor, and an angsty high school student who hits on her teacher with a seductive haiku.

And although we didn’t get any Hannah Montana sketches, we did see Miley as a cheerleader wearing a very familiar wig…

In between sketches, Miley took the stage to perform two live songs from her fourth studio album, “Bangerz.”

First up, Miley slipped into a black, see-through, oversized jersey for her latest single, “Wrecking Ball” and later, changed into her second see-through outfit of the night, a white mesh jumpsuit, for an acoustic performance of “We Can’t Stop.” Miley hit the stage sans band, only accompanied by three guitarists, pulling off what few thought she could (or would)…a relatively tame performance of her party anthem that begs the following question…

Is Miley Cyrus finally really to focus on showcasing her talent?

We at THEPOPFIX can only hope so, because if her SNL performances prove anything, it’s that Miley Cyrus doesn’t need to twerk, grind, or molest a foam finger to put on an entertaining show.

4. I wanted to dedicate a drink to Miley Cyrus, but you shouldn’t booze while on Ecstasy.

3. Drink if you’ve had the best photo you’ve ever taken and the worst photo you’ve ever taken make headline news in the same week.

Anybody…anybody?

2. Chicago Cubs fans have 65 reasons to celebrate as they’ve got one less Milwaukee Brewer to worry about. 2011 National League MVP, and five-time All-Star, Ryan Braun has been suspended for the remaining 65 games of the season due to violations of Major League Baseball’s drug policy.

1. If you’ve been waiting on pins and needles for news on the newest member of the royal family, start drinking immediately because the amount of media coverage dedicated to the Buckingham baby has already given most of us who don’t care a drinking problem.

Is the arrival of the royal baby an acceptable excuse for having a royal hangover on a Tuesday?

Justin Bieber

For now: He’s the latest teen sensation sweeping the nation. However, soon his voice will change and he won’t stay 16 forever. Will the “Bieber fever” die out?

In 10 years: Biebs will be in his mid 20′s – 26 to be exact – and I have a feeling much of his popularity will follow him into adulthood, along with his swagger. However, that all depends on how well he can grow and evolve along with his fan base. And yes, he’ll probably still be sporting the same ‘do in 10 years.

Prediction: Pop mogul/Ladies man.

Miley Cyrus

For now: Miley is so preoccupied with showing the world how she is “all grown up” that in turn it is proving that she clearly is not grown up. At 17, she’s quickly made the transition from Disney star to tabloid fodder. Between revealing photos, compromising videos and scandals, Miley has weathered more bad press then celebrities twice her age. Don’t be in a rush to grow up there Miss Cyrus…

In 10 years: Does Miley have staying power? Her antics won’t be cute and catchy when she’s 27 and nearing the big 3-0. Some have ventured to say that she’s on the pathway of becoming the next LiLo, and while I don’t think she’ll be in an orange jumpsuit anytime soon, she should follow Linds as an example of what not to do.

Prediction: Meltdown and “comeback,” B. Spears style.

Nick Jonas

For now: This Jo-Bro sure has a lot on his plate. Whether it’s touring with his brother’s, or venturing out on his solo gig – Nick always seems to be working. Despite being the youngest brother at 17, he certainly isn’t a stranger to the Hollywood dating scene.

In 10 years: Nick’s oldest bro, Kevin, got married at 22 – and I think Nick will follow suit. Maybe he won’t be settling down at 22, but I’d venture to say he’ll definitely be wed by the time he is 27.

Prediction: Married with four kids.

Taylor Lautner

For now: Lest we forget, this werewolf is indeed a “teen star” – in fact, he’s only 18! So to all you older women out there who dream of this kiddo, go ahead and pat yourself on the back – you are a cougar! Taylor skyrocketed to fame by playing everyone’s favorite werewolf in the “Twilight” series. Aside from perpetually flaunting his abs, this lad’s managed to stay out of trouble. But will that last?

In 10 years: Let’s hope that after the “Twilight” saga has ceased, Taylor will be able to get cast in other roles. By the time he is 28, he could either be a washed up teen actor, or a star – time will tell. Hey – maybe he’ll marry Taylor Swift? After all, she is two years his senior. What a cougar!

Prediction: Calvin Klein model.

Taylor Swift

For now: Taylor falls into that gray area of teen/young adult. Although she just turned 20, she began her career as a fresh-faced girl of 15. Taylor has managed to steer clear of controversy – with the exception of her much publicized messy split from Joe Jonas back in 2008.

In 10 years: Taylor’s claim to fame? Talent. Unlike some of her colleagues who focus on the fame aspect of their job, Taylor focuses on her craft. If she continues down this path, she should have no problem making it in this biz – even when she’s 30.

Prediction: Songwriter extraordinaire.

I saw plenty of stupid garments…even Jonas Brothers clothes for stuffed animals! And believe it or not, from Jessica Simpson’s desperate attempt in high fashion, to the disgusting clothes retailed under Kathy Lee’s name at K-mart, everything seems cheap. Well, everything except for Victoria Beckham’s flawless cuts or Lauren Conrad’s youthful but inexperienced designs. But when it comes to cheap, Miley’s line takes the cake. And believe me, I do like her, regardless of what other POP FIX writers think about her. But her clothing line is just lame.

To express my feelings about what I saw, I must begin with the basics. The fabric is nauseating. It is basically wash-and-throw away, unworthy of even a Forever 21 rack. The lacking of quality in the fibers is a damn shame. Considering that Walmart can get basically anything at a discounted price, it surprises me that they would commit their name to buying these products. Notwithstanding the poor threads, the designs are so simple and uninspired I am also very surprised that Max Azria would lend his name to this charade.

See, before this forsaken line, Walmart sold Miley t-shirts and pants, and even those were okay. They were for kids, for little girls who simply worshipped her. But now, for young adults or teenagers, it seems rather appalling that they are expected to think this is fashionable. Target’s Gossip Girl inspired line is infinitely better (and believe me, that’s saying a lot) and it has been more cared for and closely watched by someone who knows about the fashion industry. Here, basically two celebrities lent their voices and personalities to sell a completely irrelevant product.

Shame on them!

Enjoy the images below of the shameful line described above:
