It feels like Miley Cyrus is everywhere lately.  Twerking, showing off her body and breaking records. Whatever she's doing, it seems to be working.  People can't take their eyes off of her. With the help of social media, there were over 100 million views of her video 'Wrecking Ball' in just six days. The 20-year-old singer is constantly on Twitter making sure her following fans keep up.  The video is controversial as for the most part features a nude Cyrus swinging on a 'wrecking ball.'  Sources say the song is aimed towards former fiance Liam Hemsworth, the two publicly split this week.   The deluxe version of Bangerz features five different selections of cover art.  In recent racy fashion, one of those covers is of a nude Miley.  Fans are encouraged to vote for their favorite cover with the winner being the final deluxe version.  Voting starts at 3 p.m. today and the winning cover will be revealed on October 14th.
