Miley Cyrus Explains Why She Isn't ‘Overly Passionate' About Becoming a Mom
This week, Miley Cyrus discussed her development as an artist over the years on an episode of The Interview podcast by The New York Times with Lulu Garcia-Navarro, from her time as a child star to now. In one segment, Cyrus explained how she makes business decisions; specifically, she shared why she is one of few pop stars on her level who doesn't have her own makeup line.
'My stepdad asked me the other day, 'Why are you the only one without a makeup line?'' Cyrus shared. 'I was like, 'Cause that's not my passion.' He goes, 'That's the right answer.' And it made so much sense. It's like, 'I don't have a makeup line because I'm not a makeup artist.''
She connected the thought to questions about becoming a parent, saying, 'I feel that way about motherhood. It's just never been something that I've been overly passionate about. It's a lot of responsibility and devotion and energy, and if you're not passionate about that, I don't know how you do sleepless nights and 18 years of what my mom dealt with.'
But Cyrus doesn't seem to hold any negative opinions about the musical artists who are also passionate about makeup (or parenthood). She discussed her friendship with pop star Ariana Grande, who has her own line, r.e.m. beauty. The two have bonded over their challenging experiences with acting as children, which Cyrus said she has been working on with EMDR therapy.
'Ariana says there should be therapy for child actors, and I totally agree,' said Cyrus. 'There should be a weekly check-in. I've been doing very consistent therapy since I was 17 or 18 years old, so I think I've cleared up a lot of the feelings that I had about being a child star, and now I don't notice it so much because I don't notice it in me.'
She continued, 'I guess the only thing I notice is when people are working too hard. I met Sabrina Carpenter a couple of times, and every time I see her I have the urge to ask her if she's okay. I know what it feels like to fry yourself, and I don't want anyone else to get fried. But I like all the new girls. I think they're all unique and are very found.'

Wordle hints today for #1,444: Clues and answer for Monday, June 2
Hey, there! Welcome to the start of a new week. We hope you're well-rested, feeling energized and ready to keep your Wordle streak rolling for as long as possible. In case you'd like some assistance with that, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Monday's puzzle (#1,444). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Sunday, June 1 — ROUGH Saturday, May 31 — HABIT Friday, May 30 — IDIOM Thursday, May 29 — QUASH Wednesday, May 28 — POLAR Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: Gloat. Also, what a bird does to groom itself with its beak. There is a pair of repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is P. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... PREEN Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.

Justin Baldoni Body Double Reveals What Blake Lively Was Like on Set
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Justin Baldoni's body double has revealed what Blake Lively was like on the set of the film It Ends With Us in a recent interview. The Context It Ends With Us costars Baldoni, 41, and Lively, 37, who have been in a legal battle since December 2024 when Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni. She also accused him of launching a smear campaign aiming to "destroy" her reputation, which Baldoni has denied. In January, Baldoni hit back at Lively's claims with a $400 million lawsuit against her, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane, where he alleged control, defamation, false allegations and more. He also sued The New York Times for $250 million for publishing a report from Lively alleging what took place during filming, which the suit said "relied almost entirely on Lively's unverified and self-serving narrative."

Inset, Thomas Canestraro is seen on the set of "And Just Like That..." in New York City on September 17, 2021. More Gotham/WireImage; Mat Hayward/WireImage; James Devaney/GC Images What To Know In an interview with the Daily Mail, Baldoni's body double—stunt actor Thomas Canestraro—said that while the It Ends With Us set was "professional," there was tension. "You could tell that the set was tense. There was some discomfort from everybody," he said. Newsweek reached out to Baldoni and Lively's lawyers via email for comment. Canestraro worked with Lively on 2018's A Simple Favor and added that the experience was "extremely easy," so he felt "comfortable" collaborating together again. This time, however, he said she was "more closed off." The 38-year-old expected to work a maximum of five days but ended up staying on the project for two weeks. "What I did experience was filming that was taking longer than expected," Canestraro said of It Ends With Us. On his first day, the And Just Like That... actor said he saw Reynolds on set. "I'm like, 'Oh, my God. What a cool thing, it's like when I was in A Simple Favor. What a supportive husband who just came on set to cheer his wife. I just love that about them, that's a cool synergy in that couple.'" Following the lawsuits, Canestraro thought, "And now I'm like, 'Oh, was Blake already in such a bad place that Ryan just came to make sure that she was okay?'" "When the whole scandal came after, it was just like, 'Now that explains why things were taking longer. Now that explains why you could sense a discomfort.'" Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively are seen on the set of "It Ends with Us" on January 12, 2024 in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images What People Are Saying Following Baldoni's New York Times lawsuit, a spokesperson for the newspaper told Variety: "The role of an independent news organization is to follow the facts where they lead. Our story was meticulously and responsibly reported. It was based on a review of thousands of pages of original documents, including the text messages and emails that we quote accurately and at length in the article. To date, Wayfarer Studios, Mr. Baldoni, the other subjects of the article and their representatives have not pointed to a single error. We published their full statement in response to the allegations in the article as well. We plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit." In February, video footage from It Ends With Us was released by Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman, who said it disproved Lively's harassment claims: "The following videos captured on May 23, 2023, clearly refute Ms. Lively's characterization of his behavior. The scene in question was designed to show the two characters falling in love and longing to be close to one another. Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism." Lively's lawyers said in a statement to Newsweek at the time: "Every moment of this [footage] was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance, and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively's co-star, but the director, the head of studio and Ms. Lively's boss. No woman should have to take defensive measures to avoid being touched by their employer without their consent. This matter is in active litigation in federal court." What Happens Next A trial date for Baldoni and Lively is scheduled for March 9, 2026.

Miley Cyrus says getting older changed how she sees her parents
For Miley Cyrus, adulthood means seeing her parents not as her mom and dad, but as individuals outside their parent-child relationship. In an interview with The New York Times published on Saturday, the "Flowers" singer spoke about growing up in the public eye and as part of a famous Hollywood family. Rumors of a Cyrus family feud have swirled since her parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus-Purcell, finalized their divorce in 2022. When asked if she was still estranged from her father, she told the Times, "No. I think timing is everything." "As I've gotten older, I'm r especting my parents as individuals instead of as parents — because my mom's really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard," Cyrus said. Her parents were married for almost 30 years before they officially called it quits. They previously filed for divorce in 2010 and 2013, but reconciled both times. Her mother married "Prison Break" star Dominic Purcell in 2023. Her father married Australian singer, Firerose, in 2024, but they divorced just seven months later. Since April, he has been in a relationship with Elizabeth Hurley. Cyrus says she's made peace with the fact that her parents have moved on to having relationships with other people. "But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing," she said. "I'm being an adult about it. At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up," Cyrus added. In the interview, the " Hannah Montana" star also spoke about learning to rely less on her mother. Instead, she now imagines what her mom would do in uncomfortable situations and tries to mirror it. "And now I just go, 'What was it about her that made everything better?' It was safety, because I knew any situation that I didn't feel safe in, my mom would get me out of it or make it better. And so now I just imagine what soothed me about her, and then I do it for myself," she said. Cyrus isn't the only celebrity who has spoken about navigating the changing parent-child relations in their lives. In a 2024 appearance on "Today with Hoda and Jenna," Molly Shannon said parents should see their teens as "regular people" and have more empathy. "Most of the time, they just want to be heard. I try to think of that," Shannon said. A representative for Cyrus did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.
