Although the performance raises more questions than it could ever possibly answer, there is, however, one silver lining. Miley's documentary The Movement showed us where her mother has been throughout Miley's recent cries for attention and now, thanks to Arsenio, we know what her dad's been up to, as well. He's rocking out with Fred fucking Durst.
