Miley Cyrus goes topless and gets tattooed for magazine

Miley Cyrus has posed topless for her first ever cover of Rolling Stone magazine and she went one step further by having the publication's name tattooed on her skin while sitting for the interview.

The singer/actress has shocked fans with her wild antics while promoting her new music over the last few months, and she has caused controversy again by stripping off for the photoshoot, in which she is pictured topless in a swimming pool.

Cyrus also shocked readers by conducting her interview with the publication in a tattoo parlour, while having the words 'Rolling $tone' inked on the bottom of her feet. The singer also went skydiving as part of the interview.

During the chat, the former Hannah Montana star talks about her controversial performance with Robin Thicke at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, insisting she is now so sick of the fuss over her 'twerking'-style dance moves, she will probably never perform them again, saying, "Now people expect me to come out and 'twerk' with my tongue out all the time. I'll probably never do that... again."

Cyrus also reveals she had a surprise visit from rapper Kanye West in her dressing room, and he gave her a pep talk before she went on stage.

She says, "He came in and goes, 'There are not a lot of artists I believe in more than you right now. The whole room went quiet. I was like, 'Yo - can you say that again?' I just kept repeating that over and over in my mind, and it made me not nervous... The next day he sent a text: He said, 'I still can't quit thinking about your performance.' ...I kind of have a good relationship with him now. It's good to have someone you can call and be like, 'Yo, do you think I should wear this?' 'Do you think I should go in the studio with this guy?' 'Do you think this is cool?' That's what homies are supposed to do."
