Singer and actress Miley Cyrus has broken from her sweet-teen image and has turned punk. While performing a cover of punk rocker, Billy Idol's 1983 classic "Rebel Yell" Cyrus grabbed her crotch while screaming the chorus "More, More, More." Cyrus donning the blonde pixie cut performed at the VH1 Divas show in Los Angeles, Dec. 16.

Dressed in a midriff-exposing costume with studs, spikes and tight leather pants, Cyrus looked nothing like her Disney days. "Cyrus managed to out Idol Billy during the song, stealing the show with her crowd-surfing and headbanging," New York Daily News reported.

Her snazzy punk performance was also seen by  Billy Idol himself, "I enjoyed seeing @MileyCyrus having fun rockin' out with Rebel Yell last night on vh1divas! 'Take that bitches'!" he Tweeted.

Cyrus seems to have shed her previous clean and sweet image for good, this performance comes after the "Hannah Montana" star performed with a stripper at Borgore's "Christmas Creampies," Dec. 9.

What does her fiancé and actor, Liam Hemsworth thinks of her risqué antics? Though he was not present for the event, he was watching the show on TV. Cyrus Tweeted "Ok trying to tell my man what time to watch tonight? East coast? 9 pm Divas???" asking her fans what time Hemsworth can watch.

Kelly Clarkson, Natasha Bedingfield (with Bootsy Collins and Iggy Azalea) also performed at VH1 Divas show.

Cyrus showed that she was still mourning the loss of her puppy, Lila. She even dedicated a song to Lila, "That was for you, Lila" she said.

She Tweeted, "Feeling connected to my baby girl Lila after tonight. I know she's up in doggy heaven proud of her mommy for staying strong."
