Performer: Miley took to the stage during the awards to belt out her new song Forgiveness and LoveShe doesn't turn 18 until tomorrow, but Miley Cyrus is clearly growing up fast.
The former Disney star was caught sprawled over the bar of Hollywood club Trousdale at 2am this morning, with her new boyfriend pressed on top of her, seemingly kissing or biting her neck.
The young man is 18-year-old Canadian actor Avan Jogia, who has starred in a series of Nickelodeon shows and is now making the move onto the big screen.
Miley was not only acting older she was also dressed in a pretty X-rated way too.
Cyrus was wearing a pair of skin-tight black leather trousers, black high heeled boots and a cropped black leather bra top, quite a far leap from Miley's Hannah Montana days.
X-rated: Miley Cyrus was engaging in some very adult behaviour with new boyfriend Aran Jogia at 2am this morning at Hollywood club TrousdaleMiley was at the club for a post American Music Awards/ pre 18th birthday party and she pretty much partied till she dropped.
She stayed at the club until around 3 am.
Miley and Avan were first linked together back in October when they were spotted heading out to lunch together and later attending a Halloween party.
Barely legal: Miley Cyrus was at a post-AMAs party and a pre-18th birthday celebration ahead of the big day tomorrowMiley is fresh from her split with her previous boyfriend, Last Song co-star, Liam Hemsworth, who she dated for around a year.
New boyfriend: Avan Jogia, 18She seems to be causing controversy at every turn these days.
The singer/actress had parent and alcohol awareness groups up in arms when she was pictured drinking a Corona beer earlier this month in a Madrid nightclub.
The legal age for consuming alcohol in Spain is eighteen, although authorities usually turn a blind eye and don't think under age drinking is a big issue.
It's a different scenario in the U.S. though, where the legal age for drinking is twenty-one and it is strictly enforced.
James E. Copple, the head of the International Institute for Alcohol Awareness expressed concern that other young people will follow Miley's lead and engage in 'risky behaviour associated with under age alcohol consumption.'
Commenting: 'The young people that see her as a role model could mimic the same behaviour and as a consequence will go out and become intoxicated, putting their safety at risk.'
Going on to note that, according to his organization, '85% of young people who drink, drink to get intoxicated.'
Miley has also been dressing in a pretty risque way recently too.
At the MTV European Music Video Awards Miley wore an extremely daring sideless and backless white dress, which fully exposed her chest area when she posed on the red carpet.
Thankfully her hair was long enough to protect her modesty, but her under-the-chest tattoo was clearly visible.
Then last month Miley caused yet more controversy with the release of her video for her new song, Who Owns My Heart.
Red carpet couture: Miley was wearing a very gown-up high couture white, backless mini dress as she posed at the American Music Awards arrivals earlierIn the video, a pantless Cyrus gyrates on her bed while primping for a night on the town. Once she arrives at a nightclub, the teen singer caresses her chest while she gropes older men on the dance floor.
U.S. based parents organization, Parents Television Council slammed the teenager for her overtly adult performance, when the majority of her fan base are still from her Disney Hannah Montana days.
'It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one,' the association's spokesman, Tim Winters told U.S. website TMZ.
'It sends messages to her fan base that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point.
'Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly.'
