In the video Miley kisses her fiance Liam Hemsworth. Sex.com wants to replace Liam with Jeesie for a "naughty" XXX version of this music video.
"We were floored at how sexy both her, and Porn star Jessie Andrews look together," writes the Media Director for Sex.com Martin Ellison, in a letter obtained by TMZ. "We aren't looking to make a boy/girl 'Hannah Does Montana' sex video here, but rather a softer 'girl on girl' version. Of course your client would be compensated extremely well to be nude and to have 'erotic' girl on girl relations."
