Miley Cyrus continues to stand up for her new haircut. Despite a rash of criticism over the very short blonde locks , the singer is proud of her brand new look. She directly addressed the critics in a couple Twitter posts yesterday, and now she’s published a new self-portrait along with a few inspiring words. “Self love is the greatest of all flatterers,” Cyrus wrote beneath this headshot, which includes an up-close look at her nose ring and dark red lips. She later added: “Energy flows where our intention goes . . . Create your day.” And then she published yet another photo of herself, this one a full body shot.

He can’t throw and he can’t really read coverage. But Tim Tebow is a winner. That’s what everyone says about this former Heisman Trophy winner. But can the backup quarterback backup that praise when matched against another former Heisman Trophy winner, as well as the signal caller who many believe recorded the greatest rookie campaign in NFL history last year? Yes, readers, it’s a new edition of Who Would You Rather , but with a twist. Tebow is a virgin. We can’t include him in any sexual scenarios, this video of Tim Tebow shirtless notwithstanding. But with Tebow and Cam Newton both featured on dueling covers of GQ this month, we can ask for your take: Who would you rather… have start at quarterback for your favorite team?
The London Olympics are almost over, but will we see swimming studs Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps square off on Dancing With the Stars next? A newly-retired Phelps said earlier in the week that he wouldn’t rule out following in the footsteps of Olympians who have gone on the ABC show. He’d probably do well, but if it’s up to his teammate and friendly rival Lochte, he’d best prepare himself for some stiff competition on the parquet. “Since I’m so used to competing against Michael Phelps, I’d go on [Dancing with the Stars] with him,” said Lochte, who won five medals in 2012. ” I could do Dancing with the Stars ! Yeah, I think so.” No doubt Ryan Lochte’s sister and mom in the audience cheering him on alongside Michael Phelps’ mom in what would be a rematch for the ages. Or at least reality TV. Who’d you rather see on DWTS?

Whitney Houston would have turned 49 years old today. Sadly, of course, this is not the case, as the legendary singer passed away from an apparent overdose in February. But it’s worth taking a few moments this morning in her honor and remember just how special and impressive of a voice this singer possessed. Perhaps the greatest rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner in history will help jog your memory:
So far, so very good for Emily Maynard and Jef Holm. The single mother chose the entrepreneur on last night’s Bachelorette finale and, naturally, many viewers have already started counting down to their split. But Emily and Jef appeared together on Good Morning America today and didn’t look or sound like a couple on the verge of a split.
Amy Winehouse died one year ago today. And in honor of the sad occasion, her father Mitch has written a tribute to his daughter in The Huffington Post .
I’m Brittany and I’ve been a HUGE fan of Justin Bieber since 2009 , when he released his song ‘One Time.’ I’ve tried so many radio contests, online contests, trying to win tickets to his concerts, and even standing in 40 degree weather for 7 hours all to try and meet him. So, after three years, you would think I would give up, right? Wrong. I kept trying. On Tuesday, I decided to check the bieberfever website for any contests, so once again, I would lose….or at least I thought that’s how it would go. Turns out, there was a contest to see Justin in a Fuse interview on June 21 at the Museum of Natural History. I knew I had to attempt to win again! I e-mailed Gotham Casting, the people who were choosing the winners, and I wrote why I was such a huge fan and answered other questions they had. I was very negative about the whole thing. My mom kept telling me to not be so negative because maybe it will actually be my chance to see him in person. I decided I would stay positive. The next day, I went to my friends house and decided to check my e-mail. As I was scrolling down, I saw an e-mail from Gotham Casting!!!! I started spazzing out! I clicked on it and they congratulated me for winning and that I was going to see Justin live at his Fuse Interview! I was crying like crazy and couldn’t believe that I would finally see Justin in person. I called up my best friend and we completely flipped out. I could barely sleep Wednesday night cause I was just way too excited for Thursday to come. Well, finally it was Thursday! Gillian and I went to the Museum at around 4:30 and we waited in line for 4 hours until they finally let us in to where Justin would be. I just couldn’t believe that this moment was actually happening. At 10:00PM, they began the show. Justin Bieber began to walk down the stairs and I just completely broke down. I started hysterically crying and felt like I was going to pass out. It was honestly the greatest time because I waited THREE years for this and I never thought this moment would ever happen to me. The show was amazing! During the breaks, Justin would sing some of his songs from Believe, like “Love Me Like You Do” and “Catching Feelings.” He even started singing “Call Me Maybe” and then he began dancing in his chair. It was so cute and I was so close to the stage. I was literally 5 feet away from him! I screamed “Justin!!!!” and he looked at me and I just got the biggest smile on my face. This night was seriously the greatest night ever! I continued to never say never and dreamed big. No one should give up on trying to see him in concert or meeting him because it will happen one day! It happened to me and it took years! Dreams do come true! More here: I’m Brittany and I’ve been a HUGE fan of Justin…
