Miley Cyrus says getting older changed how she sees her parents
For Miley Cyrus, adulthood means seeing her parents not as her mom and dad, but as individuals outside their parent-child relationship. In an interview with The New York Times published on Saturday, the "Flowers" singer spoke about growing up in the public eye and as part of a famous Hollywood family. Rumors of a Cyrus family feud have swirled since her parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus-Purcell, finalized their divorce in 2022. When asked if she was still estranged from her father, she told the Times, "No. I think timing is everything." "As I've gotten older, I'm r especting my parents as individuals instead of as parents — because my mom's 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," Cyrus said. Her parents were married for almost 30 years before they officially called it quits. They previously filed for divorce in 2010 and 2013, but reconciled both times. Her mother married "Prison Break" star Dominic Purcell in 2023. Her father married Australian singer, Firerose, in 2024, but they divorced just seven months later. Since April, he has been in a relationship with Elizabeth Hurley. Cyrus says she's made peace with the fact that her parents have moved on to having relationships with other people. "But 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," she said. "I'm being an adult about it. 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," Cyrus added. In the interview, the " Hannah Montana" star also spoke about learning to rely less on her mother. Instead, she now imagines what her mom would do in uncomfortable situations and tries to mirror it. "And now I just go, 'What was it about her that made everything better?' It was safety, because I knew any situation that I didn't feel safe in, my mom would get me out of it or make it better. And so now I just imagine what soothed me about her, and then I do it for myself," she said. Cyrus isn't the only celebrity who has spoken about navigating the changing parent-child relations in their lives. In a 2024 appearance on "Today with Hoda and Jenna," Molly Shannon said parents should see their teens as "regular people" and have more empathy. "Most of the time, they just want to be heard. I try to think of that," Shannon said. A representative for Cyrus did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.

Kelly Clarkson Reportedly Facing 'Very Painful' Personal Struggles That Might Force Her To Quit Her Popular Show
Kelly Clarkson has reportedly had a "moment of clarity" following her brief break from her widely popular talk show due to personal matters. Back in March, the singer abruptly stepped away from her show for two weeks, leaving celebrity guests to fill in for her until her return. Now, sources claim that Kelly Clarkson faced "very painful" personal issues, and that she might leave her show, as she "knows her limits." According to a new report, Clarkson is seeing things more clearly now after going through a tough period in her life that forced her to take a break from her show in March. While she has yet to speak on the reason behind her absence, fans at the time were told that the singer had a "private matter" to attend to, which has left many concerned to this day. "This has all been very painful for her," an industry source who has worked with Clarkson told Page Six. They continued, "The difficulty is that Kelly, like all of us, wants to be liked, and she had to deal with this new moment in her life. She knew she had to step down for a minute." The industry insider further shared: "She has her priorities, and her family comes first, but I think she's been humbled by the whole situation… what has happened has given her a moment of clarity, I think." Clarkson's recent issues came at a time when she was getting her life back on track after a bitter divorce battle with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The former couple, who called it quits on their marriage in 2020, share two children together: daughter River Rose and son Remington "Remy" Alexander. Clarkson herself was open about the toll the divorce took on her. In a chat with Apple Music in 2023, she admitted, "Just to be brutally honest, I did not handle [the divorce] well." Blackstock and Clarkson's split was further complicated by the role he played as her manager, the brain behind her multimillion-dollar deal with NBC, and her talk show. "The irony is that he's had a very positive influence on her life; he made these phenomenal deals for her, and she wouldn't be here without him. But it's hard to be a manager and a husband," the industry insider noted. "At the time, she greatly appreciated what he had done for her career." Now, beyond her hectic daytime show, Clarkson has several other endeavors weighing on her, including her recently launched record label, High Road Records, and her upcoming Las Vegas residency, "Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions," which is set to begin on July 4. These various ventures, along with her personal issues, have raised questions about the future of her daytime show. "She knows her limits, even on 'The Voice', when she was working so hard, she knew when she needed a refresh – that's what you're seeing now," the industry insider stated, per Page Six. "She is a very feeling, sensitive person, as you see on the talk show, and that's both in her personal and professional life." Back in April, insiders revealed to Page Six that the "Wrapped In Red" singer was considering quitting her talk show to spend more time with her children. However, NBC executives are reportedly doing everything they can to keep her happy, in the hope that she will reconsider her decision to step down from the role she has been helming since 2019. "Kelly's number one priority is her children, and they always will be," a source told the news outlet about Clarkson. "The show is grueling. It's a whole lot of work, and I hear that Kelly would like to spend more time down South." Another source explained that NBC would like to ensure Clarkson remains on the network to host holiday specials, such as "Christmas in Rockefeller Center." After her return from her two-week break, Clarkson noted how she and her family experienced "kind of a dark week." During an episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where she hosted the stars of "A Minecraft Movie," Danielle Brooks, Jack Black, and Jason Momoa, Clarkson opened up about how their efforts on the film positively affected her family. "It was kind of a dark week for me and my family, and I got to preview the movie with them," she shared, per Decider. "It was such an exciting thing. So I just wanted to say thank you. It brought my kids out of, like, a sad time to, like, just a normal kind of time." The "Because of You" singer did not elaborate on the nature of the "sad time" as she went on to sing "A Minecraft Movie" praises, noting that "it's such a great film." "And that's the reason why I love it, 'cause it's like a family film. Everybody can watch, it makes you feel good," Clarkson added. "It's inspiring, it's creative. Well done on the movie. It's so good."

Taylor Swift 'stolen' albums dominate streaming charts after buying her music back
Taylor Swift 'stolen' albums dominate streaming charts after buying her music back Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift announced Friday that she was able to purchase back her entire catalog of music from Shamrock Capital, ending a years-long saga. The 14-time Grammy winner had been in the midst of re-recording her first six albums after they had been purchased by Big Machine Records and music manager Scooter Braun back in 2019. Braun would go on to sell them to Shamrock Capital in 2020. Swift had already recorded Fearless (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version), with just Reputation and her debut album Taylor Swift waiting for the re-record treatment. After Taylor's Version was released for each album, Swifties would generally refer to the originals as the "stolen versions" and wouldn't stream or purchase them. With the originals no longer "stolen," Swift's albums made a huge jump into the top 10 on Apple Music and Spotify following the announcement. According to various reports from Forbes, chart following sites like Pop Vortex and online accounts like Pop Base, Reputation and Taylor Swift have taken over the top two spots on Apple Music's Top 100 Albums list. All of Swift's catalog seemingly got a boost from Friday's news, with all 15 studio albums reportedly in the top-100 at one time. Swift was the first to be able to unseat the wildly popular country artist Morgan Wallen and his new album, I'm the Problem, from the top spot. Miley Cyrus has rounded out the top-5 with her new release Something Beautiful.
