My guess is that Radiohead had dozens of these requests at The Grammys. They were probably the most in-demand group there. I'll bet that was just their stock answer to just about everyone. And note that it's "her people asked their people." It's not like she called Thom personally and he said no. I kind of feel bad for her, but I wouldn't read too much into it on Radiohead's side of things. That's showbiz.
Miley Cyrus threatens to "ruin" Radiohead
Why yes…yes I do ;D

Of course RH have every right to snub her, but I'm guessing it's less of a "we don't do that" and more of a "we don't want our photo taken with someone so obviously not in our cool stratosphere." It's lame.
because you know Thom personally?
Actually, I hope the assessment that this is a mockery of Kanye is true. That would be killer.

"According to Reuters, the VH1 Storytellers filming came five days after West was supposedly snubbed backstage at the Grammys by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke. West has constantly declared his love of Radiohead and especially Yorke?s solo album The Eraser. ?I don?t listen to rap in my apartment, I listen to Thom Yorke,? Yeezy posted in November 2008. But the snub perturbed the 808s rapper. ?So when he performed at the Grammys, I sat the fuck down,?
pretty sure she was making fun of that

I don't understand why, if she was in fact sitting 4 rows behind them as she claimed, she didn't just get up during one of the commercials, walk 12 feet, and stick out her hand for a handshake and say she's a big fan. I doubt Thom Yorke would've crossed his arms and refused to make eye contact.

because she didnt want to "meet" them , she wanted a big dumb photo op with them so she could perhaps appeal to some other demographic or gain some adult cred. as Mobius said , pure narcissism.

In other news, Kanye West is sometimes referred to as Yeezy. Um, right. That's the definition of hip right there.

Besides, this guy is a fucking ton cooler than Thom will ever be…and hedon't seem to be on any bullshit high horse:
Well, Watt can't really snub her because he played on her album.
But I kind of agree with you that it's douchy. C'mon guys, meeting people is easy!

Excellently put. Who would want to meet Kanye West anyway, he's the worlds biggest "douche".

You're the only one who guzzles enough Radiohead cock to listen to someone because they got their picture taken with them.
Someone's gotta tell her that that pouting look just looks dumb…
What a fucking brat.

I would like to see what your boy Billy Corgan would say to a photoshoot with Miley!

Guys, the JoBros movie is tanking, this is no time for arguing, we need to stand together and fight the common foe. (i.e. Liam Neeson for soaking up all that movie money)

My mom took my 7 year old daughter to see that movie on friday, schools were closed, parent teacher conference day….Anyway tickets to that movie were $15 each!!! No wonder it's tanking…..I've never heard of such a freaking price for movie around here! I don't care if it's 3D with smellahellavision…
I mean, I saw fucking U2 at the Cap Center in 1985 for like $13!
Radiohead's Thom Yorke Schools Miley Cyrus & Kanye West on Humility
When Radiohead refused to meet Miley Cyrus and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards last month, the starlet threatened to "ruin" them and the rapper refused to stand for their performance. Now the In Rainbows band is fighting back.
Cyrus kicked off the feudin' during an appearance on the Johnjay and Rich radio show and rambled on for more than six minutes about how the band dissed her after she begged her manager to set up an introduction.
"I'm like, these are the people I really want to meet," she said. "I'd freak out. They're my rock gods. These are the only people that I would cry over?My manager asked and said, 'Miley's really obsessed. And they were like, 'We don't really do that.' "
She continued on in disbelief about the Thom Yorke band's lack of interest in meeting the Hannah Montana, admitting she was so disappointed about the diss, she left the show early.
"I left 'cause I was so upset," she said. "I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone."
The three-time Grammy winners responded by putting the teen in her place?
"When Miley grows up, she'll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement," the quintet said in a statement.
But the Radiohead beef buck doesn't stop there.
During the taping for his episode of VH1's Storytellers, West complained that Yorke snubbed him as well.
"When he performed at the Grammys, I sat the f–k down," the rapper said.
The British "Creep" singer, already in full retaliation mode, concluded a blog post on the band's website with a wink and a nudge to both stars. "Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you're not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing," Yorke writes.
Bring on the next round in these wars of words ('cause you know they're coming)!
