Miley Cyrus "Wrecking Ball" (Terry Richardson, dir.)

Winner: Best use of a wrecking ball since Udo Dirkschneider went "Balls To The Wall"

Just when you think Miley Cyrus is following up the shock-and-awe impact of "We Can't Stop" with something stripped and emotionally direct — think Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U" — she strips and proceeds to maximize the phallic potential of both a sledgehammer and a wrecking ball. Both parts of the video look gorgous — perhaps even a bit more glossy than you'd expect from director/photographer Terry Richardson — but I have a feeling the naked ball ride will be the image that riles up the most heat.
