Miley Cyrus defends VMA performance; Katie Couric to wed Miley Cyrus thinks the reaction to her routine has been over-the-top. MILEY Cyrus reckons people are "overthinking" her controversial VMA performance, while Simon Cowell is sure that changing nappies is one part of fatherhood he won't be getting involved in. Meanwhile, actor Zoe Saldana was seen recently sporting jewellery that looked suspiciously like a wedding ring. Miley Cyrus has spoken out about her controversial VMAs performance, saying people are "overthinking " it and she doesn't get what all the fuss is about (has she watched it?). "Me and Robin (Thicke) the whole time said, "You know, we're about to make history right now,"" Cyrus told MTV in the US. She went on to say that the widespread criticism hasn't affected her one bit. I don't pay attention to the negative because I've seen this play out so many times. Madonna's done it, Britney's done it. Every VMA performance, that's what you're looking for; you're wanting to make history. We're not sure you want to make that kind of history, Miley. Cyrus copped global flack for her performance - which included a lot of tongue action, weird teddy bears, a lot of twerking all over Robin Thicke and a strange foam finger with a red painted nail (if you're one of the three people who missed it, YouTube it). "What's amazing is I think now, we're [a week] later and people are still talking about it," Cyrus said. They're overthinking it. You're thinking about it more than I thought about it when I did it. Er, maybe you should have thought about it a but more, mate. "Like, I didn't even think about it "cause that's just me." Simon's not a nappy man. Why are we not surprised? Despite being "excited" about impending fatherhood, Simon Cowell has declared that he won't be changing nappies. Speaking to the BBC, Cowell said, "I'm not doing that, 100 per cent not going near that," adding that "of course" he'd delegate the chore to er, absolutely anyone else. But wait, there's more. When told he should enjoy the last of uninterrupted sleep before entering the exhaustion of the new parent, Cowell laughed. Can't I just get a nanny? Cowell was in London promoting his new X-Factor-inspired musical, I Can't Sing, despite saying he's always hated the genre. We have had people approach us before about musicals, but they always took it really seriously. He also spoke about the upcoming US season of the X-Factor, saying that he had banned the words "journey" and "dream" from the show. I hate people saying you're going on a journey because you're not going on a journey. You're on a talent show. Well said, sir. Zoe Saldana at this year's MTV Movie Awards in LA. Could Zoe Saldana have tied the knot? The Avatar actress and her artist boyfriend, Marco Perego, were spotted out in London wearing jewellery that looked suspiciously like wedding rings (adding to the intrigue, Saldana also sported a second ornament that looked very much like an engagement ring). Like famous people do, the 35-year-old and her paramour made no comment and attempted to hide their hands (it didn't work) as they left a very posh Mayfair club. Saldana has most recently been linked to Bradley Cooper, with whom she had an on/off relationship for a few years. Seems Cooper might have turned her off actors for good, though, as she told a US magazine in June that she was done dating them. "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt," she said. Perego, an Italian artist (and former professional soccer player), moved to New York a decade ago and took the art world by storm. Obviously, Saldana is not averse to artists. Katie Couric with her partner John Molner in New York. Speaking of weddings, enduring US television staple, Katie Couric is engaged to her boyfriend of two years, financier John Molner. The 56-year-old tweeted the good news, saying, "Yes it's true! So touched by all the kind Tweets & warm wishes-thank you! A great end to the summer & looking fwd to seeing you all. Her rep also confirmed the engagement stating that Molner had proposed on the beach at East Hampton over the US Labour Day Weekend. The couple first went public with their relationship in April of 2012, with Couric saying, "He's great. He's from Chicago. I love Midwesterners! Don't we all? She also made it clear that she was looking for a serious relationship, telling a US magazine that the liked the "idea of having a life partner." Before Molner, Couric dated entrepreneur, Brooks Perlin, for five years (the couple routinely made headlines because Perlin was, gasp!, 17 years Couric's junior). This will be the second marriage for Couric. Her first husband Jay Monahan (with whom she had two daughters, Ellie, 21, and Carrie, 17) died of colon cancer in 1998. She later spoke about recovering from the loss of her husband and moving on. I thought, it's important for me to go out. I'm always excited to meet new people and have a social life. I think dating is fun actually. I enjoy that part of my life. Good for you, Katie!
