The film, which Cyrus has described as a 'pop opera fueled by fantasy,' incorporates all 13 songs on the upcoming album that drops on May 30. Engineer Alan Meyerson (Dune Part One, The Dark Knight) was tabbed to mix the music specifically for theater speakers. Cyrus is directing the film alongside Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter. She's also producing the film with XYZ Films and Panos Cosmatos in collaboration with Sony Music Vision, Columbia Records, and Live Nation.
Cyrus has expressed excitement about the conception and release of the visual. 'Something Beautiful is my dream project come true—fashion, film, and original music coexisting in harmony,' she said.
Last week, Cyrus released 'More to Lose,' a heartrending single from the project. In a video posted to her Instagram, she said, 'On a song like 'More to Lose,' I try to keep it a singular take. I add my harmonies, ad-libs at the end, but it's really a song that's more of a story, and I never want that to be interrupted or overthought or chasing perfection.'

Miley Cyrus's Completely Sheer Gown Wasn't Her Only Statement on NYC Trip
Miley Cyrus brought her 'Walk of Fame' lyrics to life for a day out in New York City yesterday, 'walk[ing] the concrete like it's a stage.' For a full day of press for her ninth studio album Something Beautiful, the Grammy winner began the day signing autographs and taking photos with fans wearing a black sequin halter top with denim shorts, a black belt, fishnet tights, black and tan heeled boots, and shades. She posted photos of the look on Instagram with the caption, 'Your love not just today, but for nearly two decades means so much more to me than the words I can find at the end of a long, fulfilling day. You make my world go round. Thank you for showing up & supporting the release of Something Beautiful with me @roughtradenyc.' (That same day, Cyrus also stopped by the classic record store Rough Trade for a performance and signing.) That evening, she went for a more risqué look when she was spotted arriving at her hotel in a floor-length sheer black dress with a plunging neckline. She accessorized with a gold necklace, dainty hoop earrings, and shades. She switched up her hair, too, opting for a messy up-do. And while stopping to sign autographs, one fan in particular had a noteworthy experience to share. A man named Liam revealed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Cyrus signed the message 'the best Liam' on his Something Beautiful vinyl. Cyrus's ex-husband is Liam Hemsworth, so some fans saw it as a reference to him. Later, to round out the day's many looks, she maintained the all-black theme and wore a halter black dress with intricate line detailing, black tights, and black pumps for an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. While sitting with Fallon, Cyrus revealed that her favorite song on the new album is 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved,' featuring supermodel Naomi Campbell. 'With Naomi, what I do is treat her the way I'd like to be treated,' she said. 'Call time? 5 P.M. Glam? Lots of glam. Lots of clothes. All fabulous things.' She went on to speak more about the album and why she was drawn to featuring Campbell on the LP. 'This project is such a dream and such a fantasy, and that's what I've always loved about supermodels and the runway and fashion. It's something that's so out of this world.'

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:

The Billy Joel movie premiere was sad, sweet and yet incomplete
NEW YORK — A documentary about the life and career of Billy Joel, premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival at the legendary Beacon Theatre — it's hard to get more New York than that. Yet what was long planned as a night of career celebration took on unexpected poignance after Joel, 76, revealed two weeks ago that he has been diagnosed with a brain disorder — and canceled all of his concerts scheduled over the next 13 months. He also had to miss the opening night of the festival, which kicked off its 24th year Wednesday with a screening of Part 1 of 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes,' a sprawling film airing on HBO in July. Festival co-founders Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal made a brief appearance praising the singer-songwriter for five decades of capturing the rhythm and spirit of the city. De Niro dubbed the Long Island native as the 'poet laureate of New York.' 'Billy wanted to be with us tonight. But as you may have heard, he is dealing with a health issue and had to postpone his performances, including this one tonight. We know you join us in wishing him a speedy recovery,' Rosenthal said. A few moments later, directors Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin read a message from Joel that he wanted to convey to the audience in his classic wry manner: 'Getting old sucks, but it's still preferable to getting cremated.' 'He will be back,' Lacy said, to loud applause from the crowd. In an increasingly fractured culture, Joel's music and lyrics unite the generations, the filmmakers said, with a relatability that made him one of the top-selling musical acts in history. Just ask his ex-wife. 'Bill can take a kernel of something that happened and create a story that is universal, and he would get to the DNA of the human experience,' Elizabeth Weber, who was also the star's manager back in the day, says in the film. Nearly 55 years after his debut album, Joel was still filling stadiums — before the tour cancellation, he was scheduled to play another 17 shows in the United States and Britain, alongside a rotating crew of partner acts: Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks and Sting. And for a decade, fans packed his monthly concerts at Madison Square Garden, until the unique residency ended this past summer. He never had to change up the act much. The familiarity of the repertoire — 'Piano Man,' 'New York State of Mind,' 'Uptown Girl' — was the big draw for attendees who hollered along to every word. 'There's a handful of folks that can both play and compose and write the lyrics to these songs that, I'm sorry, as soon as you hear a couple of phrases, you're singing the whole damn thing,' Tom Hanks, one of the executive producers of the documentary, told the AP at the screening. The rigorous tour schedule took its toll. Joel's recent diagnosis, normal pressure hydrocephalus, was 'exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance,' his team said in a statement. During his last show in February, he took a startling fall. Joel is a more complicated celebrity than fans might expect from his songbook of karaoke staples. Levin told the audience that when she met him, she proudly told him how much she loved his lesser-known 'Streetlife Serenade' record from 1974, confident that he would clock her as a true fan. Instead, he said, 'That's probably my least favorite album.' 'His response was my first clue that there was a lot more to Billy Joel,' Levin said. Lacy, who said she had a 'cursory knowledge' of him before the film, found Joel to be a complex and layered figure. Part 1 — which ran about 2½ hours, with interviews with Joel's family, friends, band members and fellow stars, including Bruce Springsteen and Garth Brooks — chronicles his struggle to break through as a solo artist, his move to California and then back to his beloved New York. When he experienced life-changing fame with the 1977 smash album 'The Stranger,' he found himself mocked for being too popular, an uncool 'balladeer' in an era of anti-authoritarian punk rock. The criticism stung Joel, who saw himself as a scrappy kid from Hicksville, Long Island, scratching his way out of a tough childhood. He always felt like he was struggling, he says in the film, even while enjoying astonishing success. 'I learned life is a fight,' he says. The Beacon audience cheered every New York reference in the documentary — such as the introductions of Joel's Long Island-bred backup musicians — as well as moments when the hometown hero triumphed over the music-label suits. Like the time he declined to work with a Beatles producer because it would have meant replacing his band. Or when then-manager Weber insisted that unenthused record executives release 'Just the Way You Are' as a single. It went on to win record and song of the year at the 1979 Grammy Awards. Joel famously endured some dark moments — depression, rehab, divorce — and his loved ones describe them unflinchingly. While in the late-1960s duo Attila with his close friend Jon Small, Joel had an affair with the drummer's wife. That was Weber. When the love triangle self-destructed, the piano player was so consumed by guilt and heartbreak that he tried to end his life. After a stint in a psychiatric facility, he recovered by channeling his emotion into songs — and reconnected with Weber, who helped guide him to superstardom. Small, who has moved past the affair debacle, joins their mutual ex-wife as one of the primary talking heads interviewed in the film. Part 1 ends with Weber and Joel's own explosive breakup in the early 1980s, after he started drinking heavily and using drugs to cope with the pressures of fame. But Joel has always been candid about his mistakes and trying to learn from them — another reason fans have remained so devoted for so long, and why it's difficult to imagine him out of the spotlight. The film opens with Joel talking about his early days working on an oyster boat, when he would gaze with envy at an enormous beachfront mansion. Years later, he bought that very house, though it was still undergoing construction. 'It's not finished yet,' Joel said. 'But neither am I.'
