In 2012, Miley Cyrus was hired to voice a character in the animated film “Hotel Transylvania.” She was going to play voice Mavis, the daughter of Dracula (Adam Sandler), in the Sony Picture Animation production.

But before shooting began, she left and was replaced by singer Selena Gomez. No reason was given.

Now on Twitter today Miley admits she was fired. She writes: “I got kicked off hotel Transylvania for buying Liam a penis cake for his birthday and licking it.”

Cyrus was 19 at the time. This, and other extreme acts regarding sex, don’t seem very balanced or well considered. I know she was reacting to “Hannah Montana,” but at some point all of this quite bizarre.
