Inside Miley Cyrus's Relationship With Maxx Morando: ‘They Make a Lot of Sense'
'Everyone close to Miley says Maxx brings out the best in her,' the insider said. 'They make a lot of sense as a couple.' Morando is a drummer for Liily but has worked with Cyrus on her upcoming album, Something Beautiful. He even appeared playing the drums in the music video for its single 'End of the World.'
'They work very well as a team,' the source shared. 'Maxx shares the same passion for music, and he's one of Miley's biggest cheerleaders.'
Cyrus is doing well going into this next chapter of her career. 'Miley's in her healing era,' the insider explained. 'She's in a really good place after doing a lot of introspective work on herself and figuring out who she is.'
In November, Cyrus spoke to Harper's Bazaar about Morando. 'He's very similar to me,' she said. 'We just don't take life too seriously.'
She discussed making music with him, saying, 'I've always worked with the people that I love. And Maxx just inspires me so much.'
The singer also touched on their six-year age gap, noting that they grew up with different technology. (Morando was born in 1998, while Cyrus is a 1992 baby.)
'He looks at life really differently than I do,' she said. 'He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters. … Honestly, he's raised our dog off Reddit. I'm like, 'Are you sure we're supposed to be doing this?' And he's like, 'On Reddit it says blah, blah, blah.''

Peppa Pig Is a Total Brat. Here's Why I'm Fine with My 4-Year-Old Girl Watching Anyway
When my daughter graduated from Ms. Rachel to Peppa Pig, the overall vibes in my home shifted from cloying repetitive singalongs (that no doubt young kids soak up and love) to tea time at Harrod's. We became, dare I say, more sophisticated. My 4-year-old used adjectives like 'quite' and nouns like 'cinema.' The potty was gone; replaced with 'the loo.' So, I was surprised to learn that so many parents have placed Peppa Pig on the no-watch list because the titular character is—gasp!—rude. One Houston mom told The Independent she refuses to let her kids watch because Peppa is bossy, rude and models unkind behavior. Another mother banned the show altogether after her toddler parroted Peppa's go-to insult—'you're not my best friend'—at daycare. Parenting experts have even chimed in: Emma Kenny listed Peppa among the shows that should be switched off for encouraging 'rude family dynamics.' And over on Reddit, parents vent about how Peppa fat-shames Daddy Pig and teaches kids to hang up on their friends mid-call. 'Peppa is an entitled little shit,' says one commenter. Growing up in the '90s, we had our own cartoon witch hunt; my mom banned us from watching Beavis and Butthead because the news said it was making kids do bad things—like burn their own houses down. I was more of a Simpsons fan anyways. And even though Bart Simpson was a 'bad boy' who couldn't stay out of trouble if he tried, despite hours up hours of time with The Simpsons, I never told a teacher to 'eat my shorts' or pranked an entire town by placing a radio in a well and claiming to be a trapped little boy. Oh, and I don't remember anyone saying we shouldn't watch the show because it modeled 'rude family dynamics.' And for anyone who's actually familiar with the Peppa canon, you know that Daddy Pig is the Homer Simpson: a bumbling, donut-guzzling oaf. The posh accent might throw off the scent, but Daddy Pig is written in that same tradition—kindhearted but clueless, forever mocked for his weight or lack of skills. But somehow, it's his confident, imperfect daughter who draws the ire of parents everywhere. A hapless dad is comedy. A sharp-tongued girl is a menace. But honestly? Peppa's not even that sharp-mouthed. Her so-called 'brattiness' amounts to speaking her mind, hanging up on a friend once, and engaging in preschool drama. If you think that's irredeemably bad behavior, I have concerning news: Kids test boundaries. They try on phrases. They say mean things. This is what makes the pearl-clutching about Peppa so revealing. If Homer Simpson or Daddy Pig can be endlessly excused because 'that's just how dads are,' but a 4-year-old piglet experimenting with boundaries is branded an 'entitled little shit,' maybe the problem is our discomfort with girls being anything other than sweet, pliant and agreeable. I'd much rather raise a menace. If my daughter is going to model herself after a cartoon, I'll take a cheeky, loud, pink pig over a cow-towing 'perfect' nothing (looking at you, Angelina Ballerina). She can be rude, opinionated, dramatic—it puts her in a lineage of great loud women. In fact, Amy Poehler recently paid homage to this type of woman on Las Culturistas: 'For me, growing up, there was one woman who I just related to. She just felt very strong. She had a really specific POV. She kinda asked for what she wanted. She always had really good jokes. And that woman was…Miss Piggy.' If my daughter comes out of childhood with a British accent and a little sass, I'll take it. Maybe she'll learn a karate chop from Miss Piggy while she's at it.

Bob Dylan, 84, Stumps Fans With Incredibly Cryptic Post: 'I'm So Confused'
Bob Dylan, 84, Stumps Fans With Incredibly Cryptic Post: 'I'm So Confused' originally appeared on Parade. Bob Dylan has never been a straightforward man. Across his over 60 years of performing, his brand, identity, and process have been nothing short of American legend. The man has been mythologized as far more than just a musician, but a cultural idea that is synonymous with the spirit of the nation. The confusion of Dylan's character has been amplified on social media as he gets into his later years, as there have been many odd posts between his different accounts, including the series of AI videos of various dead figures of American history, including Edgar Allen Poe and Al Capone. Yesterday however, a new cryptic post went up, along with some interesting ads cropping up in cities around the country. The video features a phone number, and the song "Like A Rolling Stone." Fans were extremely confused, taking to the comments to question it. "What does that mean? Can I text it?" "Is this Bob Dylan's actual number?" "I'm so confused." I was confused, too, so I did some more digging to try and figure out what was up, which led me to a Reddit post by some curious Dylan fans. Before I get to the meat of the mystery, I'd like to mention the billboards and posters put up around cities. As a younger Dylan fan, I haven't really seen many announcements from him, so it's really cool to see this modern album rollout style promotion for this new (808) Unknown campaign. 60 Years of Highway 61 Revisited Of course, that leads to what the promotions are for, and that is the 60th anniversary of "Highway 61 Revisited." Contacting the number will eventually lead to this website, which is extremely cool: Highway 61 Revisited. The website has tons of interesting things for Dylan fans, including a personalized playlist and graphic, sections on history, cool interactive elements, and a free downloadable zine about the album. It's a treasure trove for fans of the album. "Highway 61 Revisited" turns 60 years old on August 30th, and I'll be very anxious to see what Dylan and his team have in store for celebrations.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Bob Dylan, 84, Stumps Fans With Incredibly Cryptic Post: 'I'm So Confused' first appeared on Parade on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

KJ Apa's Dating and Relationship History
If you're already watched The Map That Leads to You, then chances are your first question (after where are the tissues??) is: Are KJ Apa and Madelyn Cline dating IRL? The onscreen chemistry between the two actors (and tbh, the off-screen chemistry as well) is so magnetic that you might just think the two are a real-life the actors aren't doing much to dispel the rumors, either. As KJ told Cosmo during his August 2025 interview, 'I'm not going to lie, I fell in love with Madelyn on this movie in many ways that, one, are part of my job, and two, happened because she's an amazing person. You lean into it because it's fucking fun, and it's life, and I like feeling great.' Okay!! That said, a relationship between KJ and Madelyn hasn't actually been confirmed (plus, KJ was recently linked to another blonde actress...). So who has KJ actually dated over the years? Let's dive in. Though the relationship was never confirmed, KJ was once rumored to be romancing his I Still Believe costar, Britt Robertson. The two first crossed paths on the set of A Dog's Purpose in 2017, and in July 2019, they sparked dating rumors after they were spotted looking cozy at Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con party. At the time, an insider at Us Weekly claimed the two actors could also be seen 'leaning in and kissing each other,' but nothing else was heard about the maybe-romance after this. After months of rumors, KJ went public with French model Clara Berry on Instagram in February 2020 —and just a little over a year later in May 2021, they announced that they were expecting their first child together. Their son was born in September 2021, and the following month, KJ raised eyebrows when he referred to Clara as his 'wife' (!!) on Instagram. Sadly, the two didn't last. In February 2024, Clara broke the news during a fan Q&A on IG, telling a fan 'no' when asked whether she and KJ were still together. Take this one with a grain of salt, because there is zero evidence supporting In August 2025, DeuxMoi responded to a fan question that asked, 'You mentioned someone you thought KJ Apa was was that?' The answer: Landman star Michelle Randolph. Again, I have no evidence of this, but I support it nevertheless!!
