Miley Cyrus: I was fired from Hotel Transylvania over penis cake photos

Actor-singer says Sony let her go from family animation after seeing images of her licking a phallic gateau bought for her then-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth

Miley Cyrus claims she was fired from childrens animation Hotel Transylvania after posing with a penis-shaped cake purchased for her then-boyfriends birthday.

Listing a series of her lowest points on Twitter on Thursday, Cyrus who started her career as a Disney Channel star said she was kicked off Hotel Transylvania for buying Liam a penis cake and licking it.

A Sony source has apparently confirmed the story to the Hollywood Reporter, saying executives were concerned about Cyruss radical departure from the wholesome image presented on long-running show Hannah Montana, as well as in a clutch of tween-friendly films.

Cyrus was fired from the film which spawned a lucrative franchise, whose fourth instalment is due next year in February 2012. She had been set to play the daughter of Adam Sandlers Dracula, a role that was eventually played by Selena Gomez.

Earlier this month, comedian Sarah Silverman spoke about being fired from a recent film the night before shooting was due to begin after producers saw a decade-old photo of the actor wearing blackface for a comedy sketch.
