Turns out, when the 21-year-old went on Australia’s Sunrise TV Monday she made it very clear that she was over twerking. “Some people are living in the past,” she said. In fact, she was thrilled when co-hosts David Koch and Samantha Armytage asked her what her next big dance craze was going to be.

Virgin auction documentary
Seven has apologised over the broadcast of a segment about the auctioning of virgins on Weekend Sunrise yesterday.
The Sunrise Facebook page was flooded with accusations that the segment endorsed the idea of virgin auctions as well as a documentary on the website.
The segment featured documentary maker Justin Sisely and a Brazilian virgin as guests, which – Sunrise executive producer Adam Boland admitted in a Facebook apology – made for “awkward viewing”.
A man involved in the documentary did not attend the interview.
Andrew O’Keefe, who co-hosts Weekend Sunrise with Samantha Armytage, said on Sunrise’s Facebook page that the intention of the segment – to debate the ethics of virgin auctions – had backfired.
“Unfortunately that debate didn’t happen, partly because one of our guests didn’t show up, and so the segment may have seemed like an endorsement of the project,” he said.
