Miley Cyrus poses completely nude on cover of Perfect magazine
The Grammy winner poses for two other covers for the magazine, shot by photographers Paolo Roversi and Lynette Garland. In the second cover, Cyrus is fully clothed in a Marie Antoinette-style gown paired with Converse sneakers. 'I feel like right now I'm in that kind of god pocket: Everything is just flowing and there's a real harmonious relationship between me and what I'm wearing,' she tells the magazine of the gown. 'It still feels like skin. I don't feel like it ever overpowers. I don't feel like it's wearing me.' And in the third cover, Cyrus rocks a corset by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren from their Spring/Summer 1982 Savage collection. The sizzling shot comes months after she opened up about her body hang-ups on Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast, revealing she developed insecurities after seeing memes about her infamous performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with Robin Thicke. To this day, the thought of swimwear haunts the star as it reminds her of the near-nude, two-piece ensemble she wore on stage at the time. 'There was a couple that were about my body, and people were putting my head on very unattractive things,' she told Lewinsky on the podcast episode, which aired in June. '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. 'I'm still so insecure about those memes about my body.' On a recent girls' trip with her sisters and friends, Cyrus revealed she opted for a tankini when 'everyone else had on a string bikini'. 'Except me – I was in shorts,' she confessed. 'I don't even know if people wear tankinis anymore. I was wearing a tank top,' Cyrus added, saying that her choice looked like 'what a grandma wears to the beach'.

Cindy Crawford says Kaia Gerber was ‘traumatised' by her racy photos which were hanging in the house
Cindy Crawford is getting candid about the side effects of her supermodel past, particularly how it impacted her daughter, Kaia Gerber. On a recent episode of Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast, the 59-year-old icon revealed that some of her most provocative photos were on full display in her home for years. 'There were pictures of me in the house that I never explained to my kids,' Crawford shared. 'Once in a while, one of them would say, 'We just thought it was normal that your mum was photographed like that.'' She laughed, adding, 'I'm sure my kids are traumatised, like every kid is.' Crawford, whose decades-spanning career included countless risqué shoots in the '80s and '90s, said her perspective shifted after starting a family. 'I did stop doing those kinds of photos before we got married,' she said of her 1998 wedding to businessman Rande Gerber. 'I've turned down shoots since, I just didn't want my nine-year-old getting teased at school.' While she's proud of most of her work, Crawford admitted there is one shoot she regrets. 'It's not even the most revealing, but I felt manipulated,' she recalled. 'That's the only one I look back on and feel hurt.' She contrasted that experience with working with famed photographer Herb Ritts, saying she felt '100% safe' and 'not sexualised' during their collaborations. As she approaches 60, Crawford is focused on self-care, promoting her long-running skincare brand Meaningful Beauty. She credits its signature sun-protectant moisturizer for her radiant look, adding, 'Confidence is what people really notice.' Despite the shock factor at home, Kaia Gerber, now 23, has carved out her own path in fashion—though likely with fewer awkward family portraits on display.

Kesha revealed that she previously tore her ACL on stage while performing at a festival in Dubai The singer said she was accused of being drunk for the performance, when instead she was injured Kesha's new album . (PERIOD) is out nowKesha revealed that she once tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while performing live on stage – and that she still finished the performance. Kesha, 38, spoke about the injury on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky on Tuesday, July 8. The singer, who released her new album . (PERIOD) on July 4, opened up about the pressure to perform through the painful injury earlier in her career. "It was hard for me. I remember I tore my ACL on stage. That was brutal, and in like song three or something. I was playing a festival in Dubai and I tore my ACL and I f------ got up and I played guitar and I sang and I finished the f------ show," the "Your Love Is My Drug" singer said. "Are you serious?" Lewinsky, 51, asked. Kesha responded, "Yes. 'Cause I'm a bad bitch," to which Lewinsky laughed. The singer then elaborated, "But I wake up the next day and I'm like, 'Wow, I am such a f------monster badass. And I wake up and there's an article on TMZ saying I was drunk at the show." "Wow," Lewinsky responded. Kesha then clarified, "Literally, Abso-f------lutely never have one drink before a show ever. Well, I did one time, the first time I played Lollapalooza in 2009. And after that, I literally did that one time and I was like 'Okay I'm never doing that again. I'm never drinking before a show.' " "So like things like that have hurt me and that people think that I don't know that [they] hurt my feelings," Kesha said. "I'm sorry for what you've had to go through," Lewinsky responded. Kesha then reflected on the harsh nature of the public eye that both she and Lewinsky experienced. Lewinksy was famously embroiled in an affair scandal with former President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s that led to intense cyberbullying in the early ages of the internet. This later inspired Lewinksy's mental health advocacy work. "And like would we both be sitting here had we not gone through those things? Probably not. And it has made us into the people that we are. And you seem like a f------- badass. I know I'm a f-------badass," Kesha said.
