Miley Cyrus speaks out about dad Billy Ray's romance with Elizabeth Hurley
Miley Cyrus is sharing her thoughts on her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus ' new relationship and reflecting on how their own bond has evolved. In a new interview with The New York Times published Saturday, the Grammy winner spoke candidly about Billy Ray's romance with actress Elizabeth Hurley, as well as her mom Tish Cyrus' marriage to actor Dominic Purcell. "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," Miley told the outlet. "I'm being an adult about it." She continued, "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." Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, who tied the knot in 1993, divorced in 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage. They share three children -- Miley, Braison, and Noah -- and Billy Ray also adopted Tish's two older children, Brandi and Trace. Billy Ray went public with his relationship with Hurley on Easter Sunday. Their debut as a couple came just months after he finalized his divorce from his second wife, Firerose, in August 2024, according to People. In her New York Times interview, Miley also addressed longstanding speculation about her relationship with her father. When asked if they were estranged, she simply replied, "No." "I think timing is everything," she explained. "As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents -- because my mom 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. And so I think I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain." Her comments followed a rare family photo that Billy Ray shared earlier this month, showing the family reunited to celebrate Braison's 31st birthday -- a moment that came after months of rumors about a rift between the father and daughter. Miley also directly addressed those rumors in a statement shared to her Instagram stories on May 10. "My dad and I have had our challenges over the years," she wrote at the time, per E! News. "Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family." Billy Ray echoed those sentiments in his own Mother's Day post on Instagram, praising his daughter and the progress they've made. "I'm so proud of Miley and her guts and her courage... her wisdom and strength to bring it when our family needed it most," he wrote. "We are so close to a full healing."

SZA Walks Out Of Fan Meet-And-Greet After Being Hit By Thrown Object
Source: Christopher Polk / Getty During a recent fan meet-and-greet in Phoenix, SZA abruptly exited after being unexpectedly hit by an object thrown from the crowd. View this post on Instagram A post shared by HOT 97 (@hot97) The Grammy-winning artist was taking time to connect with fans before her joint performance with Kendrick Lamar when the incident occurred. In a now widely shared video, SZA appears cheerful and engaged as she signs autographs and interacts with supporters. However, the atmosphere quickly changes when someone throws a bracelet that strikes her on the side of the head. Clearly taken aback, she immediately steps away without saying a word, trailed closely by her security team as confusion spreads through the gathering. The incident has reignited conversations around concert and event safety, particularly the growing trend of fans throwing items at performers. Many online have criticized the lack of respect shown to artists in vulnerable moments of direct fan interaction. Away from the chaos in Phoenix, SZA has recently been making headlines for speaking out in support of Megan Thee Stallion. As Tory Lanez's legal team continues to challenge Megan's claims regarding her 2020 shooting, SZA addressed the renewed skepticism in a sharp Instagram comment. Reacting to a video attempting to discredit Megan, she expressed disbelief at how many people feel comfortable publicly mocking someone who has been confirmed as a victim. 'Y'all really bullying a woman out loud with no shame?' she wrote. Her comment has been praised for defending Megan amid a broader call for accountability in how the public treats survivors of violence.

Taylor Swift Seen in a Romantic Floral Dress at Dinner in NYC
Taylor Swift has returned to New York City after spending Memorial Day weekend with Travis Kelce in West Palm Beach, Florida. The singer was spotted by some lucky fans arriving at Via Carota in a black floral Dôen dress last night. Anna Majors posted footage of her table's reaction when Swift walked into the restaurant on her Instagram Story. She wrote, 'That face when you're having dinner and Taylor Swift shows up!' Swift carried a Balmain handbag and wore Dôen's Benoit dress, which hasn't sold out yet: This is her second time wearing the brand in the last two weeks. For her Florida dinner date with Kelce, Swift opted for a white poppy two-piece look. Her return to New York comes after a source close to Kelce told People on May 27 that the singer would be staying in Miami 'to support and spend time' with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end as he trains for his upcoming NFL season. The insider added that 'Travis still seems very happy with Taylor' nearly two years into dating. Swift has been seen three times this May. In addition to last night's outing, she was spotted out in Philadelphia for a Mother's Day lunch and, again, in West Palm Beach for her date last Friday. Notably, Swift chose floral looks for all of the occasions. Time will tell whether she's just embracing a classic spring trend or dropping Easter egg hints about her next era. Earlier this week, Swift surprised fans when she skipped the American Music Awards amid rumors she'd be announcing Reputation (Taylor's Version) there. Her absence was understandable, however, as the singer didn't win any awards despite having six nominations. She has been largely out of the public eye since the Super Bowl, and sources have been vocal about how much Swift is cherishing the break. An insider told Entertainment Tonight on April 23, 'She and Travis have been laying low, traveling, and enjoying some time off and quiet time together.' Last week, WNBA player Caitlin Clark, who knows both Kelce and Swift, shared a similar insight in an interview, saying '[they're] in vacation mode right now. So I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight.'
