Performer: Miley took to the stage during the awards to belt out her new song Forgiveness and Love
She 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.

Miley 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.

Miley is fresh from her split with her previous boyfriend, Last Song co-star, Liam Hemsworth, who she dated for around a year.

She 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.

In 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.'
It's over: Blake Lively and Penn Badgley, pictured here in Los Angeles last November, have ended their three-year relationship
It looks like life is imitating art for Blake Lively and Penn Badgley.
The couple have ended their three-year relationship, just like their on screen characters Serena van der Woodsen and Dan Humphrey.
A representative for Lively, 23, and Badgley, 23, has confirmed the split.
The Gossip Girl stars started dating in 2007 after meeting on set.
And in spite of plenty of incidences where they were caught being affectionate in public, the pair initially denied their relationship and insisted they were just good friends.
They finally went public in 2008, openly attending events as a couple.
Despite any potential awkwardness there might be on set, it looks like Lively and Badgley's breakup will be more amicable than most.

Good friends: The pair are determined to say close and a source on set says they are getting along well despite the breakup
The two of them were seen shopping for candles together just last week in New York, and are determined to stay good friends.
'It didn’t seem like anything was off at all and no one said anything,' a source from the Gossip Girl set tells People magazine.
Both Lively and Badgley were at the Toronto International Film Festival last month, but tellingly, they were rarely seen together.

But Badgley did speak out in support of his then-girlfriend, whose premiere he missed because he was promoting Easy A.
He said: 'Unfortunately, her premiere is, like, right now, otherwise, we would be at each other's. I am [proud of her], absolutely.'
Lively recently told Allure magazine: 'I don't comment on my relationships. . . . My anonymity is something I treasure. Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.'

Sheen claims reports are 'overblown' - but refuses to admit what actually happened Ex-wife Denise Richards says: 'I still have faith in him'
Denise Richards has spoken out in support of ex-husband Charlie Sheen after reports that he allegedly wrecked a hotel suite after an encounter with a porn star on Monday night.
Richards, 39, was with their two daughters in a hotel room across the corridor from Sheen when the alleged incident happened.
And she is the one who helped her ex-husband get to a hospital that night.
Richards appeared on the Today show this morning and insisted she 'can't control what happened' but still has 'a lot of faith in my ex.'
And she continues to stay loyal to Sheen, dodging questions about the incident while on a media blitz for her upcoming TV show Blue Mountain State.
She told talk show host Joy Behar: 'I do know what happened. I would rather Charlie [talk about it]. I did help him at the hospital.'

And when asked how Sheen was feeling, Richards replied: 'I'll let you ask Charlie.' Richards, who divorced Sheen in 2006, said she was also remaining silent about the incident for the sake of their daughters Sam, six, and Lola, five.
She said: 'My daughters are five and six years old. They're at an age when they can start to understand. They have no idea what happened.

'A lot of our stuff happened when they were much younger, which I'm so grateful for. We're in an amazing place, we've been getting along great for the last year and a half and we're doing our best.
'As far as that situation goes, I'm trying to protect the girls from it as much as possible.
Asked whether Sheen was a good father, Richards replied: 'He comes over for dinner, he is at school functions, he comes to birthday parties, so yeah. 'He's their Dad and I have a lot of faith in him.'

The 45-year-old is insisting that the reports are exaggerated, and have nothing to do with what happened that night.
'Oh my man, I’m fine,' he told RadarOnline. 'The story is totally overblown and overplayed as far as the reality of the scenario.'
But while Sheen, who is the highest paid actor on TV, is adamant that the story is not accurate, he refuses to say what actually did happen on Monday night.
He says: 'I know what went down and that’s where it will stay... under wraps.'

Sheen's PR team decided that the actor merely had an adverse reaction to some medicine, and that's what explained his destructive and angry behaviour.
This is despite the fact that the actor himself has made absolutely no confirmation that (legal) drugs had anything to do with it.
His publicist said: 'What we are able to determine is that Charlie had an adverse reaction to some medication and was taken to the hospital, where he is expected to be released tomorrow.'
And the actor's lawyer also went with the allergic reaction line, adding: 'We think he had an allergic reaction to some medicine.' Well, that's certainly some allergy.
Trouble: Charlie Sheen, seen here in New York on Sunday, was allegedly found drunk and naked in his hotel room
Security guards at the Plaza Hotel on Fifth Avenue discovered Sheen naked and drunk at 2am early Tuesday morning in his hotel room. Tables and chairs were said to have been thrown around Sheen’s room and a chandelier damaged.
However, after a day-long stay in hospital on Tuesday, Sheen was released and will return to work later this week in Los Angeles.
His manager Mark Burg said: 'Charlie will be working this week doing a cameo role, playing himself, in a small movie as a favor to a friend and has every intention of going back to work on Two and a Half Men on next Tuesday. He's looking forward to working.'
Sheen is now thought to be planning to check into rehab following the incident and is still in the process of deciding which facility he will check into.
However, he is considering returning to Promises in Malibu. 'Charlie is going back to rehab,' a U.S. source said. 'That’s his plan right now. He knows he has to do something.'
The star of TV sitcom Two And A Half Men told police that he had snorted a recreational drug, according to sources quoted in the New York Post. His female guest has been identified as porn star Christina Walsh by several American media outlets.
U.S. magazine Life & Style reported that the 22-year-old was found screaming inside a locked closet.
‘She was fearing for her life and was naked,’ a source told its website. 'Charlie was incoherent but started screaming slurs at the cops.
‘They recognised him immediately and gave him two options: they could take him to the hospital or take him down to the station. Charlie chose the hospital.
Police said they responded to a call from the Plaza about an ‘emotionally disturbed individual’ who was said to be ‘intoxicated and irrational’.

Sheen, who is paid £600,000 an episode for his role in Two And A Half Men, was allegedly taken by ambulance to hospital ‘for alcohol abuse and psychological evaluation’.
Richards was seen looking sombre and wearing dark sunglasses as she left the Plaza Hotel last night.
Before the incident occurred, the family had been enjoying their time in New York, and Sheen and Richards took their children to see Mary Poppins on Broadway on Sunday.

Sheen, who appeared in hit films Wall Street and Platoon, has battled drug and alcohol addictions.
Last year, he was arrested after a fight with his estranged wife, Brooke Mueller, the mother of his twin toddler sons, who claimed that he had tried to kill her. He pleaded guilty to assault.
