What We Know About Those ‘Hannah Montana' 20th Anniversary Plans
If you were raised in the golden era of Disney Channel when Hannah Montana took over every fiber of your being, buckle up, because this news might have you saying, 'Sweet niblets.' ICYMI, Miley Cyrus recently teased that something big is coming just in time for the 20th anniversary of the beloved sitcom, which first aired on March 24, 2006. During an interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Miley talked about everything, from her new album Something Beautiful to performing 'II Most Wanted' with Beyoncé in Paris. Among the topics discussed was Hannah Montana, as the 'Flowers' hitmaker pointed out that her 'Hannahversary' is coming up. 'It's about to be the 20-year Hannahversary in March!' she quipped, adding, 'I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today.' 'Without Hannah, there really wouldn't be she continued. 'It's so crazy to think that I started as a character that I thought would be impossible to shed, and now, that's something that when I walk into a space, it's looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood. But now, I've sort of been integrated into everyone's life as the character has.' Of course, longtime Hannah fans are scrambling to figure out what Miley has up her sequined sleeves—especially because most of us have grown-up money we're willing to blow for our childhood icon. Here's what we know about Miley Cyrus's Hannah Montana 20th anniversary plans so far... The last time Miley Cyrus toured as Hannah Montana was during the Best of Both Worlds Tour, which ran from October 2007 to January 2008, when she was 15 years old. If we were a movie (heh), something tells us a Hannah Montana 20th-anniversary tour would be canon. However, this is real life, and the real-life superstar behind Hannah has opened up about her rocky relationship with touring over the years. During an interview with British Vogue in 2023, she shared, 'Singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn't really the thing that I love. There's no connection. There's no safety. It's also not natural. It's so isolating because if you're in front of 100,000 people, then you are alone.' A few years later, she told Apple Music's Zane Lowe that her health ultimately played into the decision because of 'how taxing a physical live performance is.' '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,' she explained, 'but it's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on.' She went on to add, 'My voice is super unique because of it, but I do have this Reinke's Edema and I have this large polyp on my cords and I'm not willing to sever it because the chance of waking up from a surgery and not sounding like myself is a probability.' Aside from ^^^ all of that, Miley also revealed she wasn't legally allowed to perform her Hannah Montana songs since the show ended in 2011. During an interview on The Ringer podcast, she shared, 'After being inducted as a Disney Legend, I was given permission to perform those songs in the future, which is pretty cool.' While a tour probably isn't in the cards, the fact that Miley can sing her Hannah tracks changes things. She also has an ongoing relationship with Disney+, where she dropped her Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions) special and her visual album, Something Beautiful. Of course, that's where all her Hannah Montana episodes and movies live, too, and fans are theorizing that a 20th anniversary special of some sort could be in the works. 'A backyard session of Hannah Hits… THAT WOULD BE ICONIC,' one fan commented on a TikTok clip featuring Miley's interview with Ryan Seacrest. Someone else suggested a potential reunion episode with the show's original cast, while another suggested Miley should rip a page out of Taylor Swift's book, writing, 'A HANNAH MONTANA ERAS TOUR THAT'S FILMED AND PUT INTO THEATERS SINCE SHE CAN'T TOUR I BEG OF YOU.' Disney has yet to weigh in on any of these potential celebrations, but while we bust out our sequined outfits and dust off our blonde wigs, let us remind Miley and the House of Mouse that we have grown-up money to fuel childhood dreams!

Miley Cyrus says Beyonce has lot of 'grace' and 'confidence', compares her performance to Michael Jackson
Washington DC [US], July 19 (ANI): Miley Cyrus joined Beyonce during her 'Cowboy Carter' tour in Paris for a surprise live performance of their duet 'II Most Wanted', which was held in June. Recently, she opened up about her admiration and love for the 35-time Grammy winner, reported People. Cyrus shared that she sees Beyonce as a "top-tier" artist. "And getting to see her show live, it feels like a moment of where, you know, you talk to someone about getting to see, you know, Prince or someone that's the best of the best, Michael Jackson," she said in her recent interview on SiriusXM's TikTok Radio. "I mean, she really is exactly what you'd wanna see on and off the stage," continued the 'Flowers' singer, noting that Beyonce has lots of "grace" and "confidence," reported People. "I think that she deserves to kind of have this queen essence surrounding her constantly, just because I do think it's so fluid between both of her worlds and between the persona and personally, it's always been really well integrated," added Cyrus. "It feels like who she is on stage is an elevated, kind of eccentric version of who she is day to day," she said. On June 19, Cyrus surprised the crowd at Paris' Stade de France during Beyonce's Cowboy Carter Tour stop to perform "II Most Wanted." Later, she shared a sweet tribute for the ace star. "@beyonce to be beside such a humble, gracious, legendary DIVA was a dream come true," she wrote at the time on her Instagram handle. "Thank you for the opportunity to perform in Paris together & sing our song about friendship." She continued, "To have learned from you & loved you my whole life, & then be standing together in matching gold looks is more than I could've imagined. As the finale to this trip supporting Something Beautiful, to close on something as beautiful as a stadium full of people singing "II Most Wanted" with us was the ultimate firework." "Thank you B. I'll be your shotgun rider for life. Big gratitude to the Cowboy Carter tour crew, you all were incredible for making this happen. Forever and always," Cyrus concluded, reported People. (ANI)

'Because that brings those connection moments. I can't explain how much I value that. 'Maybe it's being outside of it all, seeing the rat race thing for what it is.

Miley Cyrus ‘Feels like a dream' on receiving star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Miley Cyrus is joining a long list of entertainment legends, as she's been announced as one of the honourees in the Hollywood Walk of Fame's 2026 class. The 'Flowers' hitmaker, now 32, celebrated the moment with a heartfelt Instagram post after the announcement was made during a press conference on July 2. Reflecting on her early days in Los Angeles, she wrote, 'When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We'd have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock-off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise.' 'To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream,' she added. 'This moment will live forever, thank you to everyone in my life who made it possible. I am grateful to share this star with you.' Cyrus is part of a star-studded 2026 class that includes Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, Josh Groban, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Gordon Ramsay, and Shaquille O'Neal. The honour comes on the heels of her new album Something Beautiful and its accompanying film, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival. It also follows her being named a Disney Legend at D23 last year, where she became the youngest person ever to receive the honour. After nearly two decades in the public eye, Miley's Walk of Fame star marks yet another milestone in a career that continues to evolve.

Hinge Says Label Fluidity Is Changing the Dating Game
It was a surprisingly tender moment, in what was an otherwise brash and bad-tempered series of Celebrity Big Brother. JoJo Siwa, originally of Dance Moms fame, sat alongside drag queen Danny Beard and reflected on whether she's been using the wrong label to describe her sexuality. 'I feel so queer,' she told Beard. 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian. I think being here, I've realized I am not a lesbian, I'm queer—and I think that's really cool. I'm switching letters! I've dropped the L and I've gone to the Q baby! That's what I love about sexuality.' Despite this revelation, the 21-year-old faced significant backlash after she chose to break up with her non-binary partner Kath Ebbs to start dating Chris Hughes, her fellow CBB housemate, after the latter pair formed a strong connection on the show. The pair initially said their relationship was platonic, before pictures of them kissing while on vacation were shared in tabloids—and Siwa confirmed things were no longer platonic in an interview with The Guardian. Naturally, some corners of the internet didn't respond too kindly; some described Siwa as an 'ex-homosexual,' while even Miley Cyrus joked she was going to 'bring Siwa back out of the closet' (Siwa since responded that it was 'all love' between her and the 'Flowers' singer). Social media discourse aside, Siwa is far from the first person to experience a sense of 'label fluidity.' In fact, per a new Hinge report, it's now an increasingly common phenomenon. According to Hinge's findings, 28 percent of daters, both LGBTQIA+ and heterosexual, say that developing an attraction to someone new has shifted the label they use to describe themselves. And it's younger people leading this charge, with Gen Z LGBTQIA+ daters 39 percent more likely to have reconsidered their sexuality label in response to an unexpected attraction. But what exactly is label fluidity? For Hinge's love and connection expert Moe Ari Brown (who uses he/they pronouns), the concept merely means not boxing yourself into a category or limiting romantic categories. 'Label fluidity is about having freedom to update our identities as we learn about ourselves,' says Brown. 'It's about focusing on connection, and I think it just really speaks to how people are wanting to evolve labels around sexual orientation.' There's certainly a sense of label fatigue, particularly among some members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Hinge's survey found 45 percent of LGBTQIA+ daters have considered dating someone outside the gender or gender expression they're typically attracted to. However, there is a pressure to present in a particular way, with 50 percent of LGBTQIA+ Hinge daters saying they've felt the need to appear more masc or femme in order to attract someone. 'Love doesn't fit neatly into categories,' says Brown. 'We know that when we actually meet people, or we find people that we like, there's so many things about them that surprise us or that we didn't expect. And love really follows that cadence, or it leans more towards resonance than type. Attraction is deeper than looks, presentation, or identity markers.' 'We live in a world that tells us who to love more times than it teaches us how to love,' they continue. 'People are tired of the labels not doing the work of actually telling us how we can make genuine, authentic connections.' 'Labels were created to offer us clarity around identity, and, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community, they have been helpful guideposts to help other people understand our differences. But when they become restrictive, they're more like performances and no longer so celebratory.' This is something actress and author, Charlie Craggs, a trans woman, has noticed. When she first transitioned, she initially only dated cis, heterosexual men, but has since broadened her previously narrow horizons. 'I've always been rigid in who I dated and what I thought I was attracted to—I think partly out of insecurity,' she says. 'As a trans woman, early on in my transition I felt validated if a straight guy found me attractive. I've grown a lot since then, and have realized now it's not so much the straight part, or even the man part I'm into, but more so just being with someone with a more masculine energy than my own.' 'I realized my attraction towards masculinity doesn't exclusively limit me to straight men because there are straight men who aren't masculine; there are women (or even non-binary people) who are masculine and there are men who aren't straight—like bi/pan guys—who are masculine. I also started to think more about the type of masculinity I like and realized contrary to the guys I've exclusively dated up until now, who have all been super macho (to a detriment), I actually prefer a softer masculinity.' 'The last guy I dated was bi and embodied this sort of softer masculinity than what I was used to and it was the best and most healthy relationship I've had,' adds Craggs. Brown describes breaking through preconceptions about your initial attractions or labels as 'dating outside your type cycle.' 'There's safety that comes along with labels, and stepping away from that can feel like stepping away from safety,' they explain. 'It makes sense that 55 percent of Hinge daters have considered dating outside the type cycle, but actually hadn't acted on it due to doubt, fear, or judgement.' 'It's important to notice who energises you and what lights you up as a person,' Brown continues. 'I invite people to notice how they feel when they're with someone or when they're attracted to someone more than they notice the look or the label, or more than they think about what they're expected to do. People need to prioritise whether or not they like the person that they become when they're around someone.' While label fluidity certainly lends itself more easily to the queer community, Brown says there's no reason why this concept can't benefit heterosexual relationships. 'I think label fluidity invites curiosity around gender roles, and it makes space for emotional compatibility in new ways,' they explain. 'Society has these surface level scripts around how people perform depending on their gender. Label fluidity invites real intention and conversations around strengths that [don't] necessarily have to follow archetypal gender lines.' While some people may be more willing to date outside their prescribed 'type' and disregard labels they've found restrictive, it's important to note that labels aren't inherently bad. For some, particularly those within the trans community, labels are both important and affirming of their true identity. 'Affirming labels are sacred,' agrees Brown. 'For the trans community, labels can feel loving and celebratory, so it's so important to honor that. However, I want to add that for trans daters, we want to be seen in our wholeness. Most of us don't want to just be affirmed for being trans. There are other aspects of our identities that we want to be seen.' For people who rigidly find themselves stuck dating a type that simply isn't working for them, the thought of moving beyond to something different (and therefore unknowable) may be overwhelming. But for Brown, merely being open to new opportunities is the vital first step to opening yourself up to new connections. 'If you say on your Hinge profile that you're open to all connections, or you're not defined by type, then that will signal to people that you're trying to match from a place of openness, curiosity, and no judgment,' they say. 'I want people to ask themselves, 'Who would I choose if no one else's opinion mattered?' Brown is keen to note that it's equally important not to treat dating outside your usual type as merely an experiment. 'Approach the person you're dating from a place of wholeness,' they advise. 'Focus on every aspect of them—whether that's what things they like to eat, what lights them up, what kind of things they are interested in pursuing—and not just on their identity.' Besides, Brown adds, we all change throughout our lives—why would our dating preferences necessarily remain the same? 'Identity is meant to evolve, and relationships evolve over time, too,' says Brown. 'We should enter relationships with openness and curiosity, and hold that interest throughout. If we do that, then we're setting ourselves up for very beautiful, intentional relationships.' Craggs agrees: 'This is why it's great to have a fluid outlook—by limiting that, you're only limiting yourself and your happiness.'
