Miley Cyrus Praised For Beauty Brand Comments
In the past decade or so, celebrity side hustles have become all the rage. We've got actors buying sports teams, supermodels selling alcohol, and plenty of celeb skincare brands. But perhaps the most common trend of all is the popstar to cosmetics mogul pipeline.
We have billion-dollar brands like Rihanna's Fenty Beauty and Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty, along with popular lines from Ariana Grande (r.e.m. beauty), Lady Gaga (Haus Labs), and Harry Styles (Pleasing). And while the cosmetics world is certainly very lucrative (just ask Hailey Bieber), it seems not all A-listers have the urge to launch a beauty line.
Speaking on the New York Times' Interview podcast on May 31, Miley Cyrus commented on the increase in celebrity makeup brands and explained pretty frankly why it's not something she sees in her future.
'My stepdad asked me the other day, 'Why are you the only one without a makeup line?' I was like, 'Cause that's not my passion.' He goes, 'That's the right answer,'' she recalled. 'And it made so much sense. It's like, 'I don't have a makeup line because I'm not a makeup artist.''
Despite her stance, Miley was quick to emphasize that she's not judgmental of celebs that do pursue side hustles — using her godmother Dolly Parton as a great example.
'Some people operate differently, you know?' she said. 'Dolly always says, 'You do you, and I'll do me, together we'll be us.' This woman [sells] cupcakes, Dollywood, amusement parks, all the things. I've never felt like that was really for me. And I've always admired that she can and wants [to] — it's like a deep passion for her. She absolutely adores it.'
As for where her heart lies, Miley concluded: 'To me, it's me by a piano writing songs and telling my stories, and then creating a gorgeous visual in support of that. That's what I love to do.'
If there's one thing about Miley, we can always count on her to keep it real. And, on X, fans have been praising her for having 'common sense' on the matter, instead of being 'money hungry.'
What do you think of Miley's comments? Do you think all of these celeb entrepreneurs are genuinely passionate about what they're selling, or are some of them in it purely for the money? Let me know your thoughts down below.

Miley Cyrus Made a Playful Dig at Liam Hemsworth During an Album Signing
Something Beautiful is officially upon us, and Miley Cyrus is celebrating her new album by sharing the love with fans. After Miley dropped the project on Friday, she held an intimate performance and album signing at Rough Trade in New York City on June 4—and made a subtle dig at her ex, Liam Hemsworth, in the process. As she signed Smilers' albums and other memorabilia, she left a specific note for a fan named Liam along with her signature. Per his social post, she wrote, 'The best Liam,' and he posted another photo with the 'Easy Lover' singer with the caption, 'Me when I'm the best Liam.' And her? She's just being Miley. This isn't Miley's first intimate event to celebrate Something Beautiful. Ahead of its release, she hosted a Q&A with TikTok and sang pared-back versions of tracks off the album at L.A.'s famous Chateau Marmont on May 27. Earlier in the month, she teamed up with Spotify to host day-1 supporters and press for an advanced screening of the album's pop-opera film at New York City's Metrograph theater. While the film won't be released in theaters until June 12 and June 27, she opened up about what the album means to her during a Q&A with Matt Peterson, a lifelong fan who asked her to prom in 2013. 'There's such a spectrum of beauty, and some of it incorporates heartbreak and loss, or death or pain—but sometimes it's flowers and rainbows and new love. There's always something to look forward to,' Miley shared at the time before gushing about her fans. 'I'm also gagged by this movie. Any chance that I have, like everything, I make it for both of us. I make it for me to love it and for you to love it. There's no one else that really matters,' she said. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to throw on this banger and marvel at Miley's archival Mugler look, just because we can:

How Labubu bag charms became a trending fashion accessory — and sent demand skyrocketing
They're all over your social media timeline and dangling from bags on the street, prompting some consumers to stand in long lines outside stores: small plush charms called Labubus that have created a global sensation, with prices skyrocketing to over $1,000 for rare designs on resale sites like StockX amid overwhelming demand. PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 23: Close-up detail view of a blue turquoise fluffy Labubu monster charm doll, next to a yellow Labubu doll, on May 23, 2025 in Paris, France. / Getty Images Labubu, pronounced "lah-boo-boo," first appeared in 2015 and has exploded in popularity recently. The toy creatures can be described as kind of scary looking but also kind of cute. What is a Labubu? Artist Kasing Lung from Hong Kong introduced Labubu as literary characters from his book "The Monsters Trilogy" before the figure transformed into a worldwide collecting sensation via retailer Pop Mart's randomized packaging strategy. These toys, featuring sharp-eared designs and mischievous expressions, also now appearing prominently on secondary markets. The accessories, made by Chinese retailer Pop Mart, have been spotted on celebrities including Rihanna, Blackpink's Lisa and Dua Lipa. Actress Hilary Duff has also been photographed sporting the trendy charms. SHENZHEN, CHINA - JUNE 04: Labubu doll is on sale at a Pop Mart store on June 4, 2025 in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province of China. Labubus are small monster-like toys sold by Chinese retailer Pop Mart, which are sold in "blind boxes", so the buyer doesn't know what color or design the doll has until the box is opened. VCG/VCG via Getty Images The collectibles are sold in mystery boxes and come in hundreds of different varieties, meaning buyers don't know which specific Labubu they'll receive. This element of surprise has contributed to their popularity and collectible value. The figurines have become highly sought-after merchandise among younger adult consumers. Some rare variants currently sell for more than $1,000 through digital marketplaces. Social media campaigns on TikTok and Instagram, combined with restricted production runs and surprise releases, have driven consumer interest. CASERTA, ITALY - 2025/05/28: In this photo illustration, Labubu are a line of fictional characters inspired by Nordic mythology and depict elven monsters. Created by the Chinese artist Kasing Lung, they have become very popular and hard to find collectibles among young people and celebrities. (Photo Illustration by Vincenzo Izzo/LightRocket via Getty Images) Vincenzo Izzo Demand has become so intense that TikTok users have reported having their Labubus stolen directly from their bags. "Someone stole my Labubu off my purse yesterday, it got literally snatched from my purse, and I didn't even know it," one user said in a video. "She's holding a little knife, like, you know, this pocket knife where you could just slash something off. She was literally holding it, and it was aimed at my Labubu." The theft concerns have prompted warnings among collectors. The popularity has extended internationally. In Britain, consumers have gone to extreme lengths to obtain the plush dolls, with reports of crowd shoving and fighting in long lines waiting for the collectible. The distributor has since halted in-store sales across the UK, though online purchases remain available.
