"Everything&amp;apos;s coming up Miley. Countless celebs chose Miley Cyrus&amp;apos; infamous Video Music Awards performance as the inspiration for their 2013 Halloween costumes, but no one did it quite like Jenny McCarthy. The View co-host put a unique spin on the idea by going not as Cyrus herself but as Cyrus&amp;apos; tongue, which the former Hannah Montana star sticks out every chance she gets.\r\n\r\nOn Thursday, Oct. 31, McCarthy shared a picture of herself in the hilarious ensemble, which consisted of a giant pink tongue coming out of an even bigger open mouth. &amp;quot;Yes indeed I am Miley&amp;apos;s tongue,&amp;quot; the funny blonde captioned the photo. &amp;quot;I craved sledgehammers all day.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe star was referring, of course, to Cyrus&amp;apos; &amp;quot;Wrecking Ball&amp;quot; music video, in which the 20-year-old singer appears completely naked and licks a sledgehammer. Speaking about the making of the video in an interview with Rolling Stone recently, Cyrus said licking the sledgehammer was unplanned -- and unsanctioned.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;That sledgehammer was heavy as s--t,&amp;quot; she told the mag. &amp;quot;My arms were so sore the next day. And they didn&amp;apos;t tell me it was painted, so I was licking it, and they were like, &amp;apos;Don&amp;apos;t lick that!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAs for why she can&amp;apos;t seem to keep her tongue in her mouth? &amp;quot;I just stick my tongue out because I hate smiling in pictures,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s so awkward. It looks so cheesy. Now people expect it, like, &amp;apos;Put your tongue out!&amp;apos; It&amp;apos;s just easier that way. But there&amp;apos;s also something about it that I think is cool. Every other girl is so serious -- like, this is my moment on the red carpet, I&amp;apos;m in my ball gown, looking pretty. There&amp;apos;s something empowering about what I&amp;apos;m doing right now...I think it&amp;apos;s empowering for girls. Because there&amp;apos;s not one thing that defines what beauty is.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
