Miley Cyrus reveals why she always stick out her "Tongue" in pictures ...

Sticking out her tongue for the camera has become her signature pose.

And Miley Cyrus has a somewhat surprising explanation for the widely-parodied move.

'I get embarrassed to take pictures. That’s actually the truth,' the 21-year-old told Barbara Walters in an interview for Wednesday's Barbara Walters Presents: The 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.

That's some excuse we got here! LOL! if she doesn't get to handle the camera and the whole paparazzi who will? well what you think?
