Miley Cyrus versus Olivia Newton-John: Who's the more believable video faux ho?

Oh my. Miley Cyrus' new video -- not the lap-dance one, though you can see that here -- almost goaded the Ministry into scanning and uploading that Instamatic shot from back in the day, when we tarted ourselves up in ridiculous shorts, a tight top and Mom's high heels and posed like what we thought a tramp would pose like in the living room in broad daylight to immortalize how bad that bright red lipstick really looked with that perm.

Almost. But dignity prevailed. Plus our mom would kill us. Even though she took the picture. But you didn't hear us say that.

Instead, we present Miss Cyrus in "Who Owns My Heart" versus Olivia Newton-John in "You're the One That I Want" -- a smackdown video battle of good girls pretending to be bad girls, relying heavily on suspension of disbelief from the audience to deliver the goods.

Watch the videos, then vote, then cleanse your palate after the break with Stockard Channing delivering a little perspective as bad girl Rizzo in that same little Newton-John flick, "Grease," a movie made about 15 years before Miley was, you know, born and stuff.

Pretty cool.

Using the word "ho' in an L.A. Times headline is unacceptable.

Miley is a mess in training - b4 long it's a repeat of what happened to Britney, Lindsey, etc....you get the point! Hope she doesn't but it's looking as they she is heading towards that way........best to her!

1.In Grease, that's the style, and it wasn't even her choice to wear that, they were paying her to wear that.
2.The music video idea was Miley's choice
... Just sayin
