"whore of babylon" has a specific connotation that doesn't really seem to apply to Miley Cyrus. Either the author thinks Cyrus is the herald of the antichrist, or he's trying to use a biblical expression to make his naming and shaming seem clever.

Oh, please... the author is doing funny turn of phrases in every second paragraph. But sure, it is "racist" to joke about female celebrities?
(That said, I have no clue what Hanna Montana was. But Miley Cyrus is hardly extreme, even for mainstream music.
[Edit: And if copying black music culture should be condemned, I don't know how much will remain? :-) Not only in the US. I guess the jokes are about the contrast with Montana? Sure women often gets the short stick in criticism, but don't throw the baby out with the water. Enough discussion, please. ]
