  • Miley Cyrus shares the final life advice she received from her godmother Dolly Parton

    Miley Cyrus shares the final life advice she received from her godmother Dolly Parton

    Miley Cyrus is opening up about the profound bond she shared with her late godmother, Dolly Parton, who passed away at 80 on August 25 following a battle with cancer. In a candid conversation with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Cyrus reflected on their final talk, which centered on her upcoming record. Despite their contrasting styles, Cyrus noted that their differences were exactly what made their relationship so special. She credited the country music legend with teaching her how to balance a larger-than-life public persona with her true, authentic self, a lesson that helped Cyrus navigate her own identity after the massive success of her early career as Hannah Montana.

    Cyrus shared that she often views her stage presence as a form of drag, acknowledging the stark contrast between her glamorous public image and the person who simply feeds her tortoise every morning. Recalling Parton’s reaction to her emotional performance of ‘End of the World’ on David Letterman’s show, Cyrus explained that when she broke down in tears, Parton offered her signature wisdom. The icon told her, ‘Music is escapism. Let them cry. Get through it.’ Cyrus admitted that while she struggled to keep her emotions in check, Parton’s ability to remain ‘real’ while maintaining a show-stopping image was something she deeply admired and tried to emulate in her own career.

    The singer also touched on the difficulty of losing the mentors who paved the way for her. Reflecting on their co-hosting gig for NBC’s New Year’s Eve party in 2023, where they sang ‘I Will Always Love You’ together, Cyrus noted that losing these stabilizing figures is a heavy burden. She described Parton as someone who was ‘always right about stuff’ and someone she could always call for guidance. Following Parton’s passing, Cyrus took to Instagram to honor her ‘Aunt Dolly,’ stating that while their most sacred moments would remain private, she knows Parton would want her to turn her grief into music and continue to be strong. Cyrus is set to release her new album, Bass Persuades, this Friday.

  • Dakota Johnson and MGK are reportedly seeing each other after meeting at a star-studded wedding

    Dakota Johnson and MGK are reportedly seeing each other after meeting at a star-studded wedding

    It looks like Hollywood has a new pair to keep an eye on. Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, have reportedly been spending time together under the radar for several months. While the duo had crossed paths previously, sources close to the musician reveal that they truly hit it off while attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden back in July. What began as a friendship fueled by frequent texting has reportedly blossomed into something more, with insiders describing the pair as being “smitten with each other” as they navigate this new chapter.

    Despite the buzz, the stars are keeping things relaxed for now. Sources indicate that they have not put an official label on their relationship, preferring to take things one day at a time to see where the connection leads. MGK has reportedly been telling friends that the Madame Web actress is “amazing,” and a second source confirmed that the connection remains “super casual.” The speculation reached a fever pitch recently when the two were spotted arriving at Taylor Swift’s New York City apartment together on September 12 before heading back to a hotel.

    Both stars are stepping into this potential romance following high-profile breakups. Dakota Johnson was most recently linked to musician Role Model, though that relationship ended earlier this year. Prior to that, she was in a long-term, on-and-off relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin that lasted from 2017 until June 2025. Meanwhile, MGK has moved on from his volatile relationship with Megan Fox; the two are currently focused on co-parenting their 17-month-old daughter, Saga Blade.

    As their personal lives take center stage, both stars remain busy with their respective careers. MGK just wrapped up his international The Lost Americana Tour and is busy teasing a new studio album. Dakota Johnson is currently keeping her schedule packed with upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated Colleen Hoover adaptation Verity, which also stars Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett, as well as the production of Three Incestuous Sisters.

  • Shalini Passi reveals her decade long struggle to overcome camera phobia before reality TV debut

    Shalini Passi reveals her decade long struggle to overcome camera phobia before reality TV debut

    Shalini Passi has quickly become a fan favorite, but the philanthropist and fashion icon recently revealed that her path to the screen was far from easy. Long before she became a household name on OTT platforms, Passi struggled with a severe phobia of cameras that hampered her ability to speak comfortably in public. In a candid conversation, she shared that she spent nearly eight to ten years undergoing rigorous training to improve her pronunciation, memory, and on-camera presence. As someone who naturally thinks in visuals rather than words, she had to put in significant work to build the confidence required for the spotlight.

    By the time the opportunity to join Netflix’s hit series Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives arrived, Passi had finally conquered those lingering fears. She admitted that she initially expected the project to be a minor appearance, perhaps just a dinner segment, and was caught off guard by the massive scale and popularity the show eventually achieved. Despite the surprise, she embraced the experience, marking a successful transition from socialite to reality television star.

    Her journey into the competitive world of reality TV didn’t stop there. Passi also opened up about her time on the show The Traitors, describing it as a deeply intense and challenging experience. While she initially felt confident relying on her background as a sportswoman to navigate the mind games, she found the high level of deception and trickery involved to be mentally draining. She noted that it was surprisingly difficult to separate the game from reality given the show’s high-stakes environment. The season ultimately concluded with Krystle D’Souza and Rida Tharana emerging as the winners of the Karan Johar-hosted competition.
