INTERNATIONAL pop sensation Miley Cyrus and underground hero Bob Dylan have both had intimate photos leaked – just days before their albums go on sale.
Shockingly, representatives for Dylan have yet to answer requests for comment. The 73-year-old’s Instagram account and Twitter have fallen silent in the past 12 hours as his team goes in to damage control.

“Every singer working today in America can be traced back to Bob Dylan,” said Cyrus.
“His influence is everywhere,”
