Miley Cyrus Says She Wears 'Very Modest' Bathing Suits Because Of Memes
'I've had enough memes of me that, you know, there was a couple that were about my body,' the 'Malibu' singer told Monica Lewinsky on an episode of her 'Reclaiming' podcast earlier this week. 'That was in 2013 and people were putting my head on, you know, different, very unattractive things. And I still see that when I put on a bathing suit to this day.'
'I wear very ― you would never think ― very modest bathing suits,' Cyrus shared. 'And we actually just went on a trip. It was a whole girls trip and everyone else had on a string bikini except me. I was in, like, shorts, you know. I wore ― I don't even know if people wear tankinis anymore ― I was wearing a tank top like an old lady.'
'You're bringing them back!' Lewinsky shared.
'I was trying to bring it back,' Cyrus said. 'And my sister goes, 'You know you're you ― so this is cool ― like, I guess this is in now, you're making this cool. But like you know this is what like a grandma wears to the beach.''
'And it just hit me like, 'Oh, I'm still so insecure about those memes about my body,'' Cyrus explained.
Cyrus has shared before that her time as a child star on the hit Disney show 'Hannah Montana,' also contributed to lasting body image issues.
'From the time I was 11, it was, 'You're a pop star! That means you have to be blond, and you have to have long hair, and you have to put on some glittery tight thing,'' the actor told Marie Claire in 2015. 'Meanwhile, I'm this fragile little girl playing a 16-year-old in a wig and a ton of makeup. It was like 'Toddlers & Tiaras.''
'I was told for so long what a girl is supposed to be from being on that show,' Cyrus shared, adding that she 'was made to look like someone that I wasn't.'
'Which probably caused some body dysmorphia because I had been made pretty every day for so long, and then when I wasn't on that show, it was like, 'Who the fuck am I?''

Princess Diana Reportedly Gave Teen Son Prince William an ‘Embarrassing' Birthday Cake That Proves She Was the Coolest Mom
Teen boys aren't hard to understand. They have silly (and gross) senses of humor leftover from their childhood days and an obsession with girls that's a precursor to their upcoming adulthood. Immature, yes, but also, easy to embarrass — and Princess Diana apparently knew the best way to tease her son Prince William when he was in this stage of life. The late Princess of Wales reportedly gave her eldest child an 'embarrassing' birthday cake that was definitely not up to the usual royal standard. Darren McGrady, a former chef to the British royal family for 15 years, revealed how cool Princess Diana was as a mom. 'When I moved to Princess Diana['s home], it was much more relaxed,' he told Heart Bingo, per Marie Claire. Case in point: a boob-shaped birthday cake she gave her son! More from SheKnows Prince William Has a 'Wonderful' Relationship With a Close Confidant That's Not Kate Middleton, Says Source 'I remember one of Prince William's birthday cakes,' McGrady told the outlet. 'I came into work and opened my refrigerator and there was a large box in there. I opened it, wondering who was using my refrigerator, and there was a large pair of women's boobs.' She got her teenager a boob cake?! It's so unexpected, and yet, so on brand for Diana. McGrady continued, 'It was the cake Diana had bought for William. She'd thought he'd find this funny. She loved embarrassing William, and it was a fantastic gift for him. He loved it, it went down really well.' We bet it did! She wins the award for the coolest mom ever. But it wasn't just about getting a funny cake. Princess Diana also did her best to make sure the boys' birthdays were normal. 'For the princess and the boys, birthdays were about spending time together,' McGrady explained. 'She made sure that while they had the royal side with all the pomp and pageantry with Charles, they also got the 'normal' life with her. That meant a Saturday night treat was sitting in front of the television eating hamburgers and chips. That was a special treat for them.' This is similar to how Prince William's wife Kate Middleton treats their kids Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, on their birthdays. In a previous interview, Middleton shared on the BBC program, A Berry Royal Christmas with Mary Berry, 'I love making the cake. It's become a bit of a tradition that I stay up 'til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it.' They also prioritize low-key, family time. An insider previously told Us Weekly, 'Kate and William have one important rule whenever it's George, Charlotte and Louis' birthday – they clear their schedules and avoid any work calls, unless there's an emergency, to enable them to give their children their undivided attention.' Now, we'll just have to see if the current Princess of Wales makes Prince George a boob-shaped cake when he gets a little older!Best of SheKnows Birthday Freebies for Kids: 25+ Places That'll Make Their Big Day Extra Sweet These Raw & Beautiful Breastfeeding Photos Show There's No 'Right' Way to Nurse 'But I Hate School': What To Do When Your Teen Dreads Going Back Solve the daily Crossword

Hayden Christensen Says There's Still 'Good, Meaty Stuff' to Explore in Darth Vader's STAR WARS Story — GeekTyrant
Anakin Skywalker himself is ready to continue explore more of the story of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Hayden Christensen, who brought the Jedi-turned-Sith to life in the Star Wars prequels, has been brought back to the franchise, appearing in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka . With Ahsoka Season 2 on the horizon, Christensen is already thinking about what other corners of the galaxy he'd like to explore. Speaking at Fan Expo Boston (via Collider), Christensen shared his personal Star Wars wish list. 'I'd love to get to do some more Clone Wars-era Anakin, too. I think there are some fun stories there to tell, and if it meant I got to swing a lightsaber with Ewan [McGregor] again, that would be amazing.' But his ambitions don't stop there as Christensen made it clear that he's itching to dive deeper into Anakin's darker chapter. 'I'd love to get to do some more stuff in the Darth Vader timeline… I think there's some good, meaty stuff there to explore still. 'If the powers that be decided a Vader spin-off is something they want to see, I'd be there in a heartbeat. 100%. I would love to. It would be amazing to keep exploring this character in both eras.' He's even game to return as Anakin's Force ghost, adding, 'All of it would be good fun for me.' The idea of a full-on Darth Vader series with Christensen at the helm feels like a no-brainer. Yes, we've seen plenty of Anakin and Vader across films, animation, and live-action shows, but there's still a ton of untold stories about Vader's reign. Ahsoka Season 2 is expected to arrive next year, while the next big-screen Star Wars adventure, The Mandalorian & Grogu , hits theaters in May. But if Lucasfilm ever gives the greenlight to Christensen's dream project, I'll show up to watch it!

‘Freakier Friday' Scores Surprise Hit at Box Office After Poor Reviews
'Freakier Friday' Scores Surprise Hit at Box Office After Poor Reviews originally appeared on Parade. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis's Freakier Friday scored a huge milestone in less than a week after its official release. The Disney movie went against predictions after raking in impressive box office numbers during its opening week. Kicking off on August 8, the highly anticipated sequel was forecasted to gross a global total of $45 million on its opening weekend, according to Deadline. According to the outlet, the movie earned $16 million from international markets, making Freakier Friday one of 41 movies this year that have grossed over $45 million worldwide. Additionally, this means that the $45 million production had just three days in theaters to recoup its budget. The news regarding the sequel's global success comes after it received negative reviews from the public. It was after Time Magazine criticized Freakier Friday for its poor costumes and awkward scenes. 'Ugly costumes, humiliating scenarios, and zero added value—this is a sequel with the sole purpose of cashing in on the fondness people have for the original movie and nothing more. The worst part is, 'Freakier Friday' arrived in a pack of other sequels with genuinely fresh takes on their original source material,' as posted on the publication's Instagram. With this, lead star Jamie Lee Curtis defended the film and called the review 'a tad harsh,' as mentioned by Hollywood Reporter. The newly released film follows the reunion of Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) years after their unforgettable magical body swap. However, history repeats itself when another unexpected switch occurs, this time involving multiple family members, including Anna's teenage daughter.'Freakier Friday' Scores Surprise Hit at Box Office After Poor Reviews first appeared on Parade on Aug 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 10, 2025, where it first appeared.
