Miley Cyrus reveals ‘excruciating' health battle in new interview
'I had a pretty traumatic experience on a show that I was doing with Lorne [Michaels] when I was doing my New Year's show,' the singer said during an appearance on Wednesday's episode of The Zane Lowe Show.
'I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture. We didn't know exactly what was going on so we did it.'
The Flowers hitmaker, 32, added, 'It was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating and I did the show anyway. But it was really, really hard on me.'
Cyrus hosted the 2023 NBC New Year's Eve celebration alongside her godmother Parton and co-executive produced the special alongside SNL boss Michaels, reports Page Six.
Per Johns Hopkins, ovarian cysts can develop for various reasons and most are 'harmless.'
Though some can cause more severe symptoms, including lower abdominal pain and bleeding, which would require immediate treatment.
Cyrus said the health scare made her consider walking away from the music industry, but she recalled having a discussion with Michaels.
'I had dinner with Lorne and he said something that now has stuck with me,' she said. 'He goes, 'Six months. Everybody has six months to feel sorry for themselves and then we start to rebuild.''
She continued, 'He's like, 'You have no idea how many artists have sat in this chair and told me they were quitting music. Everyone does this, everyone has these traumatic experiences.''
Cyrus has since regrouped and her new album, Something Beautiful, is set for release later this month.
During the interview, the Grammy winner also addressed her Reinke's edema vocal cord condition when asked about the possibility of going on tour.
'I have this very large polyp on my vocal cord, which has given me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am,' the pop star told Lowe.
'But it's extremely difficult to perform with it, because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights.'

Rachel Brosnahan's husband reacts to romance speculation about her and Superman co-star David Corenswet
Messy Metropolis. Rachel Brosnahan's husband, Jason Ralph, has created a stir online by 'liking' an Instagram comment about his wife's relationship with her Superman co-star David Corenswet. The fan comment, which was recently made under Ralph's latest Instagram post from June, accused Brosnahan, 35, of having an affair with Corenswet, 32. 'It's genuinely sad to see your career being tucked out to be remembered as a cuckold because your wife couldn't handle herself with her co-actor,' the comment read, per Us Weekly. 'Like bro. let's have some self love and stand up for yourself man, leave her to be with him if she wants that much at the end of the day.' After 'liking' the message, Ralph turned off the comments on his posts. However, a fan posted a screenshot of the comment on X, where Ralph got a mixed reaction from the online community. 'Married to Rachel, with a fairly steady career, and this is how you choose to spend your time online,' one person wrote. 'The fact that he's also an actor makes this even weirder,' another fan said. 'Liking this comment 'as a joke' comes off SO weird,' a different user responded. But other fans defended Ralph for 'liking' the comment. 'Oh he's a 100% mocking that person,' an X user insisted. 'That's the kind of non ego you have to have to be a good spouse. If he's better, then have at it. I'm not sure why people would be angry?' someone else asked. The Post has reached out to Brosnahan and Ralph's reps for comment. The speculation surrounding Brosnahan and Corenswet appears to be stemming from a viral video, in which they continued kissing after the director yelled cut. Brosnahan and Ralph met in 2013 while filming the indie movie I'm Obsessed With You: But You've Got To Leave Me Alone. She confirmed they tied the knot in 2019, with a source alleging they secretly wed in 2018. Ralph notably worked with his wife in the final two seasons of her hit Prime Video series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. In an interview with People in 2019, Brosnahan spoke about keeping her marriage to Ralph private 'Jason and I also noticed early on that, while we are both the leads of successful television series, he has almost never been asked about our relationship while I have been asked on almost every red carpet I have walked in the last two years,' she said. 'We both find this double standard problematic and frustrating and opted to redirect those conversations to our work.' Corenswet, for his part, has been married to Julia Warner since 2023. The couple has one daughter, born in 2024.

‘Almost did it': Biggest regret of Leo's career
Leonardo DiCaprio has one big regret about his career. 'I'll say it even though you're here: My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights, DiCaprio, 50, told Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed the 1997 epic, during an Esquire interview published Wednesday. 'It was a profound movie of my generation,' DiCaprio said, adding, 'I can't imagine anyone but Mark (Wahlberg) in it.' The Hollywood icon told Anderson, 55, that he thought Boogie Nights was 'a masterpiece' when he saw it for the first time. 'It's ironic that you're the person asking that question,' DiCaprio said to the director, 'but it's true.' DiCaprio turned down the role of Eddie Adams/Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights to play Jack in James Cameron's disaster film Titanic. Wahlberg, 54, took the lead role in Anderson's film about a young nightclub dishwasher who becomes a porn star. The movie, which was nominated for three Oscars, also stars Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heather Graham. In 2008, DiCaprio spoke to GQ about choosing Titanic over Boogie Nights. 'I'm not saying I would have,' he said when asked if he could go back and change his decision. 'But it would have been a different direction, careerwise. 'I think they're both great and wish I could have done them both.' 'I would have been happy to do them both,' the Oscar winner added at the time. 'And the truth is, if I'd not done Titanic, I wouldn't be able to do the types of movies or have the career I have now, for sure. 'But it would have been interesting to see if I had gone the other way.' DiCaprio, who is starring in Anderson's upcoming action thriller One Battle After Another, told the director that he 'rarely' watches his own films, but he's seen The Aviator the most. 'That's simply because it was such a special moment to me,' he said of starring in the Howard Hughes biopic. 'I had worked with Marty (Scorsese) on Gangs of New York, and I'd been toting around a book on Howard Hughes for 10 years. 'I almost did it with Michael Mann, but there was a conflict and I ended up bringing it to Marty,' DiCaprio said. 'I was thirty,' DiCaprio recalled. 'It was the first time as an actor I got to feel implicitly part of the production, rather than just an actor hired to play a role.' 'I felt responsible in a whole new way,' DiCaprio said. 'I've always felt proud and connected to that film as such a key part of my growing up in this industry and taking on a role of a real collaborator for the first time.' The Don't Look Up actor also explained how he's made it a point to not overwork himself at this point in his career. 'I do things more sparingly, which means you're anxious to get back to your real life once you've finished filming,' DiCaprio told Anderson. 'Life goes on hold when you're filming. Everything stops and gets put on the back burner in your real life. 'I might be more concerned if I worked too much. 'To go from film to film, I would be scared about what do I have to come back to?' he added. 'I'm very fortunate for that.'

Taylor Swift's Orange Era: How you can prepare for The Life of a Showgirl
Swifties, it's time to shine once again - Taylor Swift has officially entered her next era. Appearing on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast on August 12, Swift announced a brand new album: The Life of a Showgirl. Naturally, fans wasted no time hunting for her trademark Easter eggs in the announcement video. The biggest one? The colour orange. In addition to the album reveal, an orange T.S sign was spotted in the background as well as some on the books on the bookshelf - and even Taylor's shade of lip gloss.

Many fans see it as a subtle nod to boyfriend Travis Kelce. His NFL team, the Kansas City Chiefs' colours are red and white, and what do you get when you mix red and white? Orange. Others think it's more directed at her fanbase. The bright, bold orange signals a shift in her music, artistry and life from the deeply emotional previous album The Tortured Poets Department. Then there's the simplest explanation: orange is a colour linked to the world of showgirls, burlesque and cabaret – hence the album title.

Everything you need to know about Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl What do we know about Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl? After teasing her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast New Heights, we've learnt plenty of information and uncovered some interesting Easter eggs. Here is everything we know and what you can expect from the new album: This is Taylor Swift's 12th studio album, following her highly successful The Tortured Poets Department album released in April 2024. It will be released on October 3, 2025 – a symbolic date as it is the 3rd day of the 10th month, and 10 plus 3 is 13 which Swifties know is Taylor's favourite number. The album was written and recorded during the European leg of her Eras Tour. Swift said 'I would be playing shows, I'd do like three shows in a row, I'd have three days off, I'd fly to Sweden, go back on tour. And actually working on this I was physically exhausted at this point of the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating'. The album cover shows Swift bejewelled in mint green water with a shattered glass effect and the album title written in bold glittering orange. The vinyl disc is also orange. Taylor has released album art that features orange, red and black. Orange is meaningful to the singer and her relationship with Travis Kelce as the colours of his NFL team The Kansas City Chiefs is red and white – mix those colours together and you get orange. Swift revealed the album comes from an 'infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place'. Themes will likely surround the ideas of cabaret, old Hollywood, show business and fame. This is a significantly different tone compared to her last album, which was more introspective and reflective of her inner life. Sabrina Carpenter is featured on the title track, which is the 12th song in the track list. It will be available as a CD (with a poster included), on cassette, on vinyl and on music streaming services. Four limited edition vinyl albums with unique cover art will be available to purchase. The same producers behind Red, Reputation and 1989 Max Martin and Shellback are also working with Taylor again for this album. Why is the colour orange so important? From the minute the teaser dropped, many spotted how prominent the colour orange was, and as fans know, Taylor does not do anything without it having some sort of meaning and symbolism. There are a few theories surrounding why orange plays a major role. What most are pointing to is its significance to her relationship with boyfriend Travis Kelce. His NFL team, The Kansas City Chiefs, play in the colours red and white. When you put those colours together, you get orange. Another is more straightforward – orange is often tied to showgirls, cabaret and burlesque. A third simple explanation is that it is a definitive contrast from The Tortured Poets Department to represent an emotional and artistic shift. Does the mint green on the album cover have any significance? Mint green is also theorised to play a part in the meaning of the album. Some have thought that it represents a contrast between onstage and offstage appearances, as orange and green are very different colours. Others think it has to do with a rebirth of her artistry after her mega Eras Tour, with green frequently associated with healing, growing and a new beginning. What is the release date of The Life of a Showgirl? The Life of a Showgirl will be released in Australia and around the world on October 3, 2025. What are the songs appearing on The Life of a Showgirl? There are 12 songs on the track list of The Life of a Showgirl – and while Taylor Swift is often linked to the number 13, there are only 12 as it is her 12th studio album. Here are the songs featured on the album: The Fate of Ophelia Elizabeth Taylor Opalite Father Figure Eldest Daughter Ruin the Friendship Actually Romantic Wi$h Li$t Wood Cancelled! Honey The Life of a Showgirl (featuring Sabrina Carpenter) The Tortured Ports Department had a surprise second album drop, and a total 31 songs, though at this stage, no other songs are expected to be released other than this initial 12.
