MILEY Cyrus has finally tackled the question we all want answered - she sticks her tongue out incessantly because she doesn't "know how to smile".

"I get embarrassed to take pictures. That’s actually the truth," she told Barbara Walters, who had anointed Cyrus one of her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013.

"I'm so embarrassed, because people are taking pictures of me, and I just don't know how to - I don't know how to smile, and just be awkward, so I stick my tongue out, because I don't know what else to do," she said.

Cyrus also described her approach to dealing with criticism in the wake of her controversial twerking episode, and her predilection for wearing as few clothes as possible.

"I refuse to Google myself," she said. "The minute I stopped Googling myself, you don't imagine what a happier person I am."
