Cyrus debuts album at close-knit fan event
In a cosy gathering at LA's Chateau Marmont, Miley Cyrus hosted a special event for fans in collaboration with TikTok. As per Variety, a 100-person audience attended the gathering to listen to Cyrus' upcoming album Something Beautiful, oblivious to the popstar's surprise performance after the album-listening party.
Cyrus came in to debut a handful of songs from the album, such as End Of The World and More To Lose, along with a few fan favourites, including an impromptu rendition of her hit 2009 song The Climb, for an exclusive audience.
Sharing the process of making Something Beautiful with her fans, Cyrus said at the beginning of the set, "I've been experimenting with this album for the past year or two by having these nights at Chateau. They were invite-only, super exclusive, just my closest friends and my family."
She added that these sessions were effective in helping her discover the kind of album she was making. She credited Michael Pollack for his work on the piano and being her songwriting partner. She also gave a shoutout to Jonathan Rado on the guitar and Maxx Morando on the drums. Cyrus said she had to own the album with these three artists by her side.
"Making the album and fully realising it all and watching it become this butterfly and have this metamorphosis, this evolution, it's so reflective of my life and everything that I'm experiencing. I pour that into the production," she said. "But at the heart of this album, it's just us, really. It's been us three in a room making this album for the past couple of years."
Something Beautiful will be released worldwide on Friday, just days ahead of its visual film, which is scheduled for June 6.

Michael B. Jordan shares Denzel Washington's advice on staying relevant in film industry
Michael B. Jordan has emerged as one of Hollywood's leading actors, thanks in part to a deliberate strategy of maintaining a measured public presence. In a recent New York Magazine cover story, Jordan revealed that he limits his social media activity and avoids sharing much about his personal life to 'create a demand' for himself as a movie star. This approach seems to be paying off, as his latest film Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, has grossed over $350 million worldwide. Jordan credits much of his career guidance to Denzel Washington, who encouraged him to be cautious about overexposure. Washington famously asked Jordan, 'Why would they pay to see you on a weekend if they see you all week for free?' This advice has influenced Jordan to stay relatively offline, contributing to the anticipation and allure surrounding his projects. Before reaching this level of stardom, Jordan's career path was less certain. He began with television roles on shows like The Wire and Friday Night Lights, but he was eager to prove himself in film, especially in an independent movie where he could showcase his talents as a lead actor. That opportunity came with Fruitvale Station, which director Ryan Coogler presented to him, affirming Jordan's potential as a movie star. The film received critical acclaim and helped launch both Jordan's and Coogler's film careers, leading to successful collaborations on Creed, Black Panther, and Sinners. Phillip Sun, Jordan's manager, emphasized that their focus was on quality roles rather than specifically seeking parts based on race. Continuing his careful management of public image, Jordan avoids popular platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, but maintains an Instagram account with 25 million followers, primarily posting during film promotions. Washington and Jordan's mentor-mentee relationship was also strengthened when Washington directed Jordan in the 2021 film A Journal for Jordan, underscoring the lasting influence of Washington's guidance on Jordan's career strategy.

Netflix announces Nobody Wants This season 2 release date with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody
Netflix has officially announced that Season 2 of its hit romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This will premiere globally on October 23, 2025. The announcement came during an Emmys FYC event celebrating the show's first season. Inspired by the real-life story of creator Erin Foster, Season 1 followed an unlikely romance between Joanne (Kristen Bell), an outspoken agnostic podcaster, and Noah (Adam Brody), an unconventional rabbi. The season concluded with uncertainty as Joanne admitted she wasn't ready to convert to Judaism, leaving their future unresolved. The original cast will return for the second season, joined by new additions including Leighton Meester as Abby, an Instagram mommy influencer and Joanne's childhood rival. Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, and Arian Moayed are also set to appear in new roles. Netflix renewed the show shortly after its September 2024 debut. Foster described the response to the series as a "career highlight" in an interview with Variety, crediting the cast, crew, and producers for helping bring her vision to life. Since its launch, Nobody Wants This has developed a strong fan base, largely due to the chemistry between its lead characters. Erin Foster returns as executive producer alongside her sister Sara Foster. Newcomer Nora Silver joins the team this season, with Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan serving as showrunners.

Vanessa Bryant addresses pregnancy rumors using Rihanna meme
Vanessa Bryant has addressed recent online speculation regarding her alleged pregnancy by sharing a pointed meme on Instagram. The post featured Rihanna flipping her middle finger with the caption: 'Me protecting my peace, not pregnant, and having fun all summer.' While Bryant did not issue a formal statement, the meme clearly served as a response to the widespread rumors circulating across social media platforms. These rumors, which began circulating in late May 2025, claimed Bryant was expecting a child with a 27-year-old NBA player—an unverified narrative that quickly gained traction online. Users on platforms like TikTok and Facebook spread old photos they claimed showed a baby bump, along with commentary questioning her loyalty to her late husband, NBA legend Kobe Bryant. However, many fans and social media users came to Bryant's defense. Supporters emphasized that Vanessa has remained respectful to Kobe's legacy since his passing in 2020 and noted that five years is a reasonable period to begin healing. Several online posts pointed out the double standards often placed on women, especially widows, when it comes to moving forward with their lives. Vanessa Bryant, 42, is the mother of four children and leads the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. She met Kobe in 1999 and married him in 2001. The couple had four daughters, including Gianna, who tragically passed away alongside Kobe in a helicopter crash in 2020. Despite frequent public scrutiny, Vanessa has largely remained private, focusing on her family and philanthropic work. Her recent Instagram post serves as a succinct yet powerful dismissal of the rumors, reinforcing her commitment to living life on her own terms.
