In a new interview with Elle UK, Miley Cyrus told the magazine, "I’m very open about it – I’m pansexual."

They asked her about her thoughts on gender and relationships, and she said, "I’m not in a relationship. I’m 22, I’m going on dates, but I change my style every two weeks, let alone who I’m with."
Miley will be hosting the VMA's this weekend, and it's fair to say she is the first out pansexual person to be hosting the awards show. Will you be watching?

Suddenly everyone is obsessed with “nepo babies,” i.e., the famous children of celebrity parents. And we’re here to say we’ve been obsessed with several of them long before it was cool. That’s right: We’re nepo-hipsters. 
But seriously. these queer celebs are stars in their own rights; their parentage just goes to show that star power is a genetic trait.

        Why are fans accusing JoJo Siwa of stealing 'Karma?'

The drama surrounding JoJo Siwa’s dive into the world of music continues, as new info about her song, “Karma” has been unearthed — including a theory that it was originally written for Miley Cyrus.
Siwa has put a ton of emphasis on “Karma” leading up to and after its release. She went viral for saying that she told her label she wanted to “start a new genre of music" called “gay pop,” and cited “Karma” as part of this process.

While it's been years since the marriage ended Miley Cyrus is opening up about the moment she knew she and then-husband Liam Hemsworth were not meant to be. 
Cyrus opened up about that moment during a TikTok post on Wednesday. The epiphany happened while the singer was at the Glastonbury music festival in June 2019

Just about anyone who’s come out as LGBTQ+ can point to a variety of signs from their past that, in retrospect, should have given things away. Sometimes seriously, sometimes in jest, but we’ve pretty much all been there—even Miley Cyrus.
The singer has been “looking back on [her] life and sharing untold stories” in a TikTok series called “Used to be Young,” which is also the title of her latest song. There’s plenty there for fans of Cyrus to enjoy, but a 25 second-clip about a well-known photo has been a source of amusement over the past week.
