Miley Cyrus addresses future acting plans as she issues 'challenge' to Hollywood directors
Miley Cyrus has "never really found the role" that would allow her to revive her acting career. The 32-year-old pop star shot to international fame when she took on the title role of Disney's musical television sitcom 'Hannah Montana' in the late 2000s, but has since been heavily focused on her music and only appeared in a handful of films. Speaking on the New York Times' 'The Interview' podcast, she said: "It's actually really interesting because I got 'Hannah Montana' because I was a singer. "I was singing in Nashville, there was a little place in our mall where you could go and make demos. We don't have a Build-A-Bear, we had Build-A-Country-Music-Star! "So I used to go to the mall, make my demos, write my songs. And they were looking for someone who could really sing, not just record kids' music but actually have music be the heart of the show. I was chosen to be an actress because I was a singer. "I got known as being an actress, but I hadn't actually acted in anything. I had been in a baked bean commercial and I had two lines in a Tim Burton one time." The 'Easy Lover' hitmaker - who starred opposite now ex-husband Liam Hemsworth in 'The Last Song' in 2010 and last held a leading role with 2012's 'So Undercover' - is still keen to return to acting at some point and has "challenged" directors an writers to come up with something that she can play. She added: "I became an actress so I could bring that part to life and then I just never really found the role for me because I'm such a character in myself that to find something that can absorb me completely is really challenging. "And I challenge every writer and director out there to bring it to me because I would love to. "I either want to be myself because I'm really good at that, or I wanna throw me away because I'm really good at that too. I'm not good in the middle."

Miley Cyrus Addresses if ‘Flowers' Dress Is Jennifer Lawrence Diss
Two years and a few Grammys later, finally addressed the theories behind her 'Flowers' music video outfit, the infamous gold dress. Fans believed it was a reference to Jennifer Lawrence's gown from the 2012 'Hunger Games' premiere. The singer, who has openly talked about her healing journey, clarified there's no bitterness between them. Popular belief suggested that the hit track was Cyrus' breakup anthem after her 2020 divorce from Liam Hemsworth, Lawrence's co-star in the film series. Theories claimed that the dress was a dig at the Oscar-winning actor amid rumors of a cheating scandal surrounding her and Hemsworth. Miley Cyrus settled the dust surrounding her 'Flowers' outfit, clarifying that there are no tensions between her and Jennifer Lawrence. Fans had long speculated that the close resemblance between the gold dress Cyrus wore in the initial scenes of her music video was a jab at the actor. These theories surfaced against the background of a rumored cheating scandal between Lawrence and the singer's now-ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth. The two actors have previously starred together in the popular 'Hunger Games' films. Last week, the Grammy winner squashed all rumors, making it clear that the dress was, in fact, not a diss at Lawrence. She was signing autographs before her appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' when entertainment reporter Melanie Miller brought it up. Miller shared a clip of the moment on her TikTok @itsmelaniemiller, as she asked, 'Miley, was your 'Flowers' dress a reference to Jennifer Lawrence?' Cyrus, who appeared bold and stylishly dressed for the talk show, responded, 'No, but I loved that dress of hers.' Besides the gold color, Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Lawrence's outfits had uncanny similarities, including the cutouts. Although the latter's dress had cutouts in the back, Cyrus' look completely bared her toned abs. According to Page Six, Lawrence had also addressed the 'coincidence' while talking to Andy Cohen on his talk show. 'I just assume that was, like, a coincidence,' she told Cohen during a 2023 episode. The star further denied any romantic involvement with Hemsworth, calling it 'not true' and a 'total rumor.' Originally reported by Nikita Mahato on Reality Tea.

Miley Cyrus: Something Beautiful review – Like Bangerz without the bangers, or Flowers without the bloom
Something Beautiful Artist : Miley Cyrus Label : Columbia As Miley Cyrus returns with her first album in two years, it is to a pop landscape defined by change. Taylor Swift's Eras tour has come and gone, and we've had both Charli XCX's Brat summer and 12 supercaffeinated months of Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso. Those three artists offer a clear vision of themselves to the world: they are the very opposite of enigmatic. In the case of Cyrus, however, it's always been difficult to get a sense of what she is about, both as a person and as a musician. She is ubiquitous yet inscrutable, famous yet as blank as an empty space. Her success can, even today, feel like a byproduct of the megafame she experienced as the teenage star of the Disney series Hannah Montana – an aftershock carrying into adulthood. (She is now 32.) Cyrus has, it is true, clocked up hits by the bouquetful. Written in the aftermath of her divorce from the actor Liam Hemsworth, Flowers, her smash hit from 2023, has taken up its place in the modern pantheon of break-up bangers. The most-streamed single of that year, it was a tear-streaked victory lap that refused to retreat into the wings. READ MORE Still, as a unified vision, there has always been a sense of Cyrus as a work in progress, a pop project yet to take its final form. We know that she is no longer the girl-next-door tweenager moulded by the Walt Disney Company – she has, after all, spent almost her entire grown-up life rejecting everything Hannah Montana represented (culminating with her most zeitgeisty LP, Bangerz, from 2013). That has left a blank she has yet to fill. Take away the growing pains, the post-Disney angst, and who is Miley Cyrus? That question is not answered by Something Beautiful, an ambitious yet patchy and underwhelming record that, much like Cyrus's public persona, has a huge, pulsating void at its centre. It confirms that Cyrus is still a cipher, as invisible as she is omnipresent, a point spelled out by the cover shot of the artist in shadow. All you can really see is the outline: she is the idea of a pop star rather than the reality. Something Beautiful is a concept LP – several, in fact. Cyrus has described it as a 'visual album', and it will be followed by an accompanying movie to be released next month. (A polyp on her vocal cords prevents her from touring: the film is intended as the next best thing.) It is presented, moreover, as her gift to us, the needy masses; she has described it as containing 'healing sound properties' that would 'medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music'. She has also revealed that the album was inspired by the Pink Floyd LP The Wall, Roger Waters's opus about alienation, paranoia and the unspeakable pain of being a member of the world's biggest prog band. Cyrus has never been a member of the world's biggest prog band – unless we count her collaborations with The Flaming Lips. Either way, cut through the new-age-therapy blather and Something Beautiful is revealed to be a watery revisiting of her best work: Bangerz without the bangers, Flowers without the bloom. There are flashes of pretension throughout. Opening with the grandiose Prelude, a spooling spoken-word piece, the album quickly segues into the anonymous soul-pop workout Something Beautiful, on which her husky voice is offset by a gentle saxophone. But just when you think she's ditched the high-concept yoga-mat talk, she's back with End of the World, a serving of fluffy electronica driven by mantra-like lyrics ('Oh, I wanna take you to Nirvana, we can't take you too far'). Something Beautiful doesn't entirely miss the target: Easy Lover – nothing to do with Phil Collins, more's the pity – has a Grace Jones-like disco-apocalypse energy, while Golden Burning Sun is a trippy excursion into indie rock. (The LP's producer, Shawn Everett, has worked with The War and Drugs and Julian Casablancas.) But there's lots of that goes wrong too: Walk of Fame sounds like X Factor Lady Gaga (not even the contribution of Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard can help); and Every Girl You've Ever Loved is a saxophone solo desperately seeking a purpose in life (it also features a baffling spoken-word piece by Naomi Campbell). Far from channelling Pink Floyd, Cyrus's post-Flowers comeback is, in the end, largely colourless and lustreless.

Miley Cyrus addresses long-running rumour about her ‘feud' with Jennifer Lawrence
There's no bad blood between Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Lawrence. In her 2023 music video for Flowers, Cyrus wore a gold dress that fans thought bore a resemblance to Jennifer Lawrence's gown at the Hunger Games premiere in 2012 — and perhaps was a pointed dig at ex-husband Liam Hemsworth's co-star amid cheating rumours. But while signing autographs last week before her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Cyrus put the rumours to bed when a fan asked if her Flowers dress was a reference to Lawrence. 'No but I love that dress of hers,' the musician responded in a clip shared on X. Though the two dresses were both slinky and shiny with cutouts, they did have a few key differences. Cyrus' vintage Yves Saint Laurent number, which came from the fall 1991 collection, boasted an ab-baring silhouette and slouchy hood. Meanwhile, the Oscar-winning actress' long Prabal Gurung creation was a more traditional design featuring two large cutouts in the back. Lawrence, too, addressed the rumours that Cyrus took a dig at her by intentionally wearing a similar-looking dress in the music video. 'I just assume that was, like, a coincidence,' Lawrence said on a 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. On the show, the actress also denied being romantically involved with Hemsworth while he was dating Cyrus. 'Not true,' Lawrence said about the accusation. 'Total rumour.' Many believe Cyrus wrote her hit Flowers about Hemsworth, with whom she had an on-again, off-again relationship for over a decade, beginning in 2009 and ending when the couple divorced in 2020 after two years of marriage.

Miley Cyrus Addresses Her Gold 'Flowers' Dress & Jennifer Lawrence

(Photo by Kevin Mazur/for Spotify) Miley Cyrus has finally revealed the truth behind that gold dress from her 'Flowers' music video, following plenty of fan speculation about its deeper meaning. While it's not a stretch to believe that the hit song was written about Cyrus' ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, who she divorced in 2020 following over a decade together, fans think the singer dropped a few pointed clues upon the song's release. Most notably, the track's music video, which has amassed over a billion views since its release in 2023, shows the singer in a vintage gold lamé Saint Laurent gown. With an oversized hood and an ab-bearing cutout, the sparkling number is a show-stopper. However, netizens have speculated about the reference ever since. Miley Cyrus / Image: @MileyCyrus At the time, viewers instantly began to draw similarities between Cyrus' gown and one worn by Jennifer Lawrence at the 2012 premiere of The Hunger Games . The Prabal Gurung gown was also gold lamé and featured side cut-outs. Amidst cheating rumours, fans wondered if the former Disney star's gown was a reference to her ex-husband's co-star. It seems that those rumours can finally be laid to rest, as while signing autographs outside of Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, a fan asked the singer , 'Was your flowers dress a reference to Jennifer Lawrence?' 'No, but I love that dress of hers,' the musician cheerfully responded. Liam Hemsworth (L) and Jennifer Lawrence arrive at 'The Hunger Games' Los Angeles premiere, 2012 in Los Angeles, United States. (Photo by Lester Cohen/WireImage) In an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2023, Lawrence also gave her thoughts on the matter, telling the audience, 'I assume that was, like, a coincidence.' The actress also cleared the air regarding cheating rumours, stating, '[They're] not true, total rumour.' 'I mean, we all know me and Liam, like, kissed one time,' she added, referencing the pair's on-screen kiss in Mockingjay Part 1 . 'It was years after they'd broken up.'
