Double Standard in Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke performance?

No regrets from Miley Cyrus.

Forty-eight-hours after the pop-star's racy performance at the VMA's - she tweeted this:

A provocative photo of her from what appears to be a boy's locker room.

The impromptu shoot was very much in line with the former Disney star's head-scratching performance from Sunday's video music awards.

That act garnered thousands of headlines, many calling it raunchy and racy - and those were the nice ones. Which leaves us asking, what about  her dance partner on the stage that night, Robin Thicke. The barbs aimed at him were pretty tame, including these:

"ROBIN THICKE CHANNELS BEETLEJUICE DURING 'BLURRED LINES' PERFORMANCE WITH MILEY CYRUS"

So is there a double standard here?

Of course, this isn't the first time Christie has found himself in the middle of a feud. This year he's sparred with members of his own party including Senator Rand Paul and House Speaker John Boehner.

So why does Chris Christie always need to be in a fight?

Measles outbreak linked to Texas megachurch

A Texas megachurch is tied to a major measles outbreak, and doctors warn it's spreading.

At least 21 people in two Texas counties have been infected. Many belong to the Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas.

A church spokesperson is denying anti-vaccination teachings. But here's what church founder Kenneth Copeland said in August 2010:

"As parents, we need to be a whole lot more serious about this, in being aware of what is good and what isn't, and you don't take the word of the guy that's giving the shot about what's good and what isn't," Copeland said.
