Miley Cyrus: 'No shade to Dua Lipa, but Prisoner just isn't cohesive with Plastic Hearts'
Miley Cyrus didn't feel her Dua Lipa collaboration Prisoner was the right fit for her album Plastic Hearts.
Amid the hot gossip that Miley shades Dua on the track Every Girl You've Ever Loved on her latest LP Something Beautiful, Miley has insisted she means no disrespect to her fellow pop star, but she didn't feel their collaboration worked on the 2020 glam rock album.
Every Girl You've Ever Loved features the telling lyric: 'Speaks the perfect French/ She can dance the night away/ And still, she'll never break a sweat.'
First of all, Dua speaks French on Charli xcx and Troye Sivan's Talk Talk remix, plus Dua has the song 'Dance The Night' from the Barbie soundtrack.
In a candid interview on the Every Single Album podcast, Miley said: 'It wasn't my idea [to have Prisoner on my album] and no shade to Dua but 'Prisoner' just isn't cohesive with the album. She would have been much better on something in Endless Summer Vacation — like she would've been great on Wildcard or River."
Meanwhile, Miley has admitted she fears Sabrina Carpenter will get "fried".
The 33-year-old star - who shot to fame in Disney show Hannah Montana when she was just 14 years old - believes young performers should be offered regular therapy sessions and she is particularly concerned about the welfare of singers such as the Espresso hitmaker because of their hectic schedules.
She told the New York Times newspaper: "Ariana [Grande] says there should be therapy for child actors, and I totally agree. There should be a weekly check-in.
"I've been doing very consistent therapy since I was 17 or 18 years old, so I think I've cleared up a lot of the feelings that I had about being a child star, and now I don't notice it so much because I don't notice it in me.
"I guess the only thing I notice is when people are working too hard. I met Sabrina Carpenter a couple of times, and every time I see her I have the urge to ask her if she's OK. I'll see she's performing in Ireland, and then the next day she's doing a show in Kansas. And I'm like, 'I don't know how that could be physically OK,' because I was in that situation.
"I know what it feels like to fry yourself, and I don't want anyone else to get fried."

Miley Cyrus is now allowed to perform her Hannah Montana songs
Miley Cyrus is now allowed to perform songs from her Hannah Montana days. The 32-year-old pop superstar famously broke away from the wholesome image she had created on the musical Disney Channel series when it came to an end in the early 2010s, and was forbidden to perform songs from its soundtrack until the corporation named her a Disney Legend. Speaking on the Every Single Album podcast, she explained: "After I left Disney, I wasn't allowed to perform any of the Hannah Montana music. "It's not like I wanted to. I mean, performing The Best of Both Worlds between We Can't Stop and Wrecking Ball wouldn't have really made sense. "But after being inducted as a Disney Legend, I was given permission to perform those songs in the future, which is pretty cool." Hannah Montana followed the adventures of a schoolgirl who lived a double life as a world-famous pop star. It ran for four seasons from 2006 until 2011 and a cinematic film was released in 2009. Each season and the movie spawned a top-selling soundtrack featuring original songs, and The Best of Both Worlds Tour took place in 2007. The Climb - which was featured in the final scene of Hannah Montana: The Movie and released under her own name - is the only track from the franchise that Miley has performed in recent years. Upon her acceptance of the Disney Legend honour towards the end of last year, the Easy Lover hitmaker insisted that she was "proud" to have starred as the fictional pop star as she referenced a track from the initial soundtrack. She said: "I had gotten a taste of what my life could be, and from that moment on, I did not want anything else. " "A little bit of everything has changed, ... but at the same time, nothing has changed at all. "I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana." "IIn so many ways, this award is dedicated to Hannah and all of her amazing loyal fans, and to everyone who has made my dream a reality. To quote the legend herself, 'This is the life.'"

Luke Bateman shared his love of books online. Then social media turned on him
Less than two months ago, in his first-ever TikTok video, Luke Bateman spoke to the camera from a truck in Toowoomba. The former NRL player, who also appeared on the 2023 season of The Bachelor, and who now works as a tree-logger, smiled and greeted the 'BookTok' community, saying that he's loved reading his entire life. 'I've never really had anywhere to talk about it or share those things,' he says, '... cause obviously being a male in a lot of blue-collar work'. Bateman said he hoped to speak to like-minded people about the stories he loves – fantasy, in particular – and find recommendations. For the unfamiliar, the BookTok community first boomed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when readers started to use TikTok to discuss their favourite books and authors. Colleen Hoover, for example, found herself on the New York Times bestseller list after her novel, It Ends With Us, gained traction via BookTok. To date, the BookTok hashtag has hundreds of billions of views and tens of millions of posts. It has also reshaped the publishing industry. Naturally, brands, publishers and authors have pivoted to focus on infiltrating the space as part of their marketing campaigns in the hope of going viral and seeing sales skyrocket. Bateman's first post quickly racked up 2 million views and within weeks, the former footy star had become a poster child for BookTok, amassing 150,000 followers and launching a book club with close to 6000 members. Loading Then in late May, Bateman posted something a little different. Trading in the front seat of his truck for a cosy room in front of a bookcase, he announced that he'd signed a two-book deal with Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Australia. 'It's a childhood dream come true,' he said. 'I've wanted to be an author my entire life.' He became emotional, thanking the community for giving him the opportunity 'to put my heart on the page for all of you'. But as is often the way with social media, it didn't take long for the tide to turn. 'This is literally enraging. Absolutely unbelievable.'
