Miley Cyrus got ‘brutal infection' after rolling around on Walk of Fame for film
Miley Cyrus has said she believes that rolling around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for a new music film led to a 'brutal infection' on her knee. The US singer, 32, who found fame playing Hannah Montana on the eponymous children's show, was filmed lying across part of the historic Los Angeles landmark for her new film, Something Beautiful. 'I filmed this video in October, and by November, at Thanksgiving, I was put in ICU (intensive care unit), for a moment, just for a moment,' she told US chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live! 'But it's mostly because it was Thanksgiving. There was a lot of people in the ER (emergency room), you know, people choking on turkey legs or whatever. 'And my leg began to disintegrate within some way around the kneecap area. The doctor goes, 'You have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?' And I just saw myself,' she said while mimicking dance moves from the video. 'And I had to tell him. And to have a surgeon look at you and say, 'Yuck.' 'They open up like cadavers, like they see inside the guts of humans, and they're looking at me, telling me I'm disgusting.' Asked if the area where she filmed had been steamed first, Cyrus replied: 'Absolutely not, none of that. 'Because, you know, with this movie, I had a big dream and a small budget. 'Well, I had a pretty good budget, but I spent it all on my clothes. 'Then when it came time to go to the Walk of Fame, they're like 'So what are you going to do? Are you going to rent this thing or what, because that's really out of your price range.' I was like, 'No, we'll just go in the middle of the night.' 'Have you been to the Walk of Fame in the middle of the night? I thought it was my last day.' The new film is accompanied by the singer's ninth studio album of the same name which includes a song titled Walk Of Fame, featuring US musician Brittany Howard. The album is being released on May 30 and there will be special one-night-only screenings of the film internationally on June 27.

Nathan Fielder calls FAA ‘dumb,' forces awkward moment between CNN co-hosts during chat about ‘The Rehearsal'
Nathan Fielder called the Federal Aviation Administration 'dumb' and forced an uncomfortable moment between CNN's Wolf Blitzer and his co-host during a surreal interview Thursday. The quirky comedian, 42, spared no one, including a US representative, as he discussed the chatter around his HBO docu-series, 'The Rehearsal,' that recently concluded its second season and pushes the claim that communication issues between pilot and co-pilot contribute to many devastating airline crashes. Fielder went as far as to get his commercial pilot license after two years of training and then flew a 737 plane with 150 actors on board as passengers for the show. 3 Comedian Nathan Fielder and aviation safety expert John Goglia with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown on CNN. CNN Advertisement When co-host Pamela Brown read a statement from the FAA that the agency doesn't see data that backs up the show's central theory, Fielder shot that down. 'That's dumb,' he said on CNN as he wore a 737 hat after the Boeing plane. 'They're dumb.' 'Here's the issue … I trained to be a pilot, and I'm a 737 pilot. I went through the training. The training is someone shows you a PowerPoint slide saying, 'If you are a co-pilot and the captain does something wrong, you need to speak up about it.' That's all,' Fielder went on to say. Advertisement 'That's the training, and they talk about some crashes that happen, but they don't do anything that makes it stick emotionally so pilots think they'll act a certain way in an accident.' Fielder, who appeared on the segment with aviation expert John Goglia, then tried to use the dynamic between Blitzer and Brown in a bid to prove his argument. 3 Fielder was on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Wednesday night. Disney via Getty Images 'I'm sure, Pamela, you don't say things to Wolf because between you two, like who would be the boss? Like you're Wolf Blitzer so your name is first on the thing,' Fielder said, 'so I'm sure Pamela, at times, you might not want to say, 'Oh, Wolf wants to do something,' you don't think it's a good idea, you might not want to express that always.' Advertisement When Brown tried to insist that the pair have a good relationship, Fielder kept going. 'But you have to say that now,' he said. 'You don't want to say to Wolf you can't as a journalist, you don't say, 'Oh, I don't want to.' Blitzer also made clear that Brown speaks up when the two have a differing opinion. 'Here's the great thing about Wolf is that he doesn't have an ego,' Brown added. 'He has no ego, but I take your point.' Advertisement For the show, Fielder also sat down with Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tennessee), but the aviation subcommittee member told CNN he was disappointed with the meeting. 3 The FAA is disputing the comedian's theory. Chad Robertson – Cohen said his office was told Fielder wanted to talk about how people with autism could have 'difficulties in a crash situation,' but most of the 'substantive parts' of the interview didn't make the show. Fielder brushed off the criticism and claimed Cohen didn't seem to know much about Crew Resource Management, which involves interactions among flight crew, during their talk. 'Look, I wasn't gonna bring that up, but he seemed to come at me a little,' he said, arguing he was trying to bring him an important issue. The CNN interview comes a day after Fielder raised eyebrows for labeling his successful flight on the show the 'Miracle of the Mohave' and suggested to Jimmy Kimmel his landing was more impressive than 'Miracle on the Hudson' by hero pilot Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger. 'Not to create sort of like a competition or anything,' Fielder said. 'But I did put down my plane safely on land.'

Bono says Springsteen, not Trump, is the ‘Boss' in America
Bono has sided with Bruce Springsteen in his fellow rocker's quarrel with President Donald Trump. During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Tuesday night, the 65-year-old U2 frontman was asked which 'side' he was on after Springsteen insulted the president while playing in England. 'There's only one boss in America,' Bono replied to thunderous applause. Springsteen kicked off his European tour in Manchester earlier this month by telling fans the U.S. was under the rule of 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous' leadership. Trump angrily reacted by saying the 'dried out 'prune' of a rocker' should 'keep his mouth shut' and warned there could be consequences for Springsteen when he returns stateside. Bono also addressed a seemingly unsolicited May 19 attack Trump made against him on social media, claiming the Irish superstar was one of several artists paid to perform for his opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, before the 2024 presidential election. 'WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ?' Trump raged. 'AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???' According to Bono, he's flattered to be lumped in with those big-name stars, but said Trump's unhinged conspiracy theory has no basis in reality. 'U2 and I [were] never paid — or played — a show to support any candidate from any party,' he said. 'That has never happened.' Bono also took issue with the social media platform the president uses to spread his often baseless accusations. 'It's called 'Truth Social' — seems to be pretty antisocial and it's not very true a lot of the time,' he said. Prior to the 2016 presidential election, Bono wondered what kind of country Trump's America would be for people around the world who 'love the idea of America.' 'Good people are not going to stand silently while you run off with the American dream,' the singer declared during a U2 show in San Francisco. Trump was elected to his first term as president the following month.
