Miley Cyrus took her youthful eighteen-year-old self to the beach in Rio, Brazil today.  The songbird was clad in a metallic bikini while enjoying the South American sun before resuming her Gypsy Heart tour. She, her mother and some friends took photos in front of the Christ The Redeemer statue overlooking Rio last night.
