After 10 years of romance and about 8 months of marriage, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are over .. Now Miley’s been showing off pics from her girls’ trip and she and Liam have been pretty tight-lipped when it comes to official statements. But Miley’s big sister Brandi has something to say — and predicts that Miley will only sit on her side of the story for so long. Brandi Cyrus spoke on the Your Favorite Thing podcast with Wells Adams. For the first time, she is publicly commenting on the collapse of her sister’s marriage. “It’s not my business to talk about,” Brandi emphasizes. “And,” the 32-year-old actress, singer, and DJ adds. “It’s nothing anything of mine to tell.” Brandi laments: “There’s nothing I can really say.” But Brandi can speak about herself and the role that she is now playing with Miley and Liam’s separation public knowledge. “I just, I’m here for her, obviously,” Brandi expresses. Good for her! Of course she is. “And,” she adds. “I’ve been spending a lot of time with her.” She even has a guess as to when Miley will be prepared and willing to share here side of the story with the world. “When she’s ready to talk about it or whatever,” Brandi predicts. “Then she will.” Just a couple of days ago, Brandi was a lot more vague as she waxed philosophical on social media. “I’ve learned that life sometimes takes us through seasons,” she wrote on Instagram. “When we cannot understand why things have to hurt so much,” She added: “or be so hard.” “But,” Brandi affirmed. “All we can do is trust that there is purpose in everything,” “Even,” she added. “The darkness. …” “And in time everything will make sense,” Brandi’s message assured her fans and followers. “And all of that purpose will be revealed,” she suggested. “When the time is right.” Brandi predicted that out of turmoil can come new peace “and we will be stronger and better for it.” Given the timing, it’s difficult to imagine that Brandi was talking about anyone or anything but her sister’s separation. We’re leery of reading too much into a single post, absolutely. But sometimes you have to make an educated guess and use common sense. Outwardly, Miley does seem to be coping well with the separation. Part of that may be that, according to rumors, they actually separated a couple of months ago and only went public now. But Miley has been seen gal-paling with Kaitlynn Carter, and wonder if her coping mechanism might turn into a whole new relationship. That said, some people think that Miley and Kaitlynn are faking it just to get back at their respective exes. That’s certainly possible, but if it’s true, it would indicate that there’s some serious bad blood between Miley and Liam. More than they’ve let on. Recent reports have shown the split turning ugly with accusations that Miley cheated and that Liam is some sort of drug fiend . We hope that the truth comes out before various contradictory reports take on lives of their own. View Slideshow: 21 Most Stunning Splits in Celebrity History
T his year has been nothing short of epic for Missy Elliott . In January she made history by becoming the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and in May she became the first woman hip-hop artist to receive an honorary doctorate degree from the Berklee College of Music. The Virginia-bred rapstress—whose real name is Melissa Arnette Elliott —recently hit another major career milestone. According to USA Today , she will be the recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Missy Elliott will be honored at this year’s #MTVVMAs with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award alongside a New York pop-up museum honoring her legacy https://t.co/8lQQDmvjkf pic.twitter.com/Qfw98st9mB — Rolling Stone (@RollingStone) August 12, 2019 Elliott has continually pushed the envelope when it comes to her music and the visuals for her songs. She’s graced us with pivotal albums like Supa Dupa Fly , Under Construction , and The Cookbook and memorable music videos that include “The Rain,” “Work It,” and “Lose Control.” Her creativity, innovative spirit and courage to step outside of the box has cemented her as a legend in the music industry. “Missy’s impact on the music landscape is indelible,” Bruce Gillmer , Head of Music and Music Talent, Viacom, said in a statement according to the Hollywood Reporter . “Her creative vision across production, performance and songwriting is unmatched.” Elliott has been honored several times throughout the years at the VMAs.

Now, it’s not every day that you see the words “Duggar” and “slutty” in the same sentence. Which is probably why so many reality TV junkies were shook by a tweet describing Bachelor In Paradise star Caelynn Miller-Keyes as “the lost, slutty Duggar sister.” Now, if you’re a member of Bachelor Nation, you’re probably familiar with Caelyn from Colton’s season of The Bachelor , as well as the current season of Bachelor In Paradise . We don’t think her behavior on either show could ever really be described as “slutty,” but maybe it’s a relative thing. After all, in the Duggars’ world, wearing a skirt that exposes your knees is considered downright scandalous. (“Knees are for prayin’, not displayin'” is something we could imagine Jim Bob saying.) As first pointed out by Life & Style , the tweet that prompted a million surprised head nods reads thusly: Take issue with the use of the word “slutty” if you want (We’re pretty sure it’s a joke, so maybe don’t take it too seriously?), but there’s no denying that the second part is true. Once you see the resemblance between Caelynn and the Duggar girls, it really can’t be unseen. And it seems the OG tweeter is not the only one who spotted the Duggar doppelganger among the swimwear enthusiasts on this summer’s BIP. “Caelynn looks like she could be a Duggar sister,” tweeted one viewer. “Is Caelynn a member of the Duggar family????!” added another. “I watched The Bachelor for the first time this season, and my takeaway is that Caelynn is actually Jessa Duggar wearing a ~very~ light disguise,” a third remarked. Yes, it’s widely agreed that the Duggar Caelynn most resembles is Jessa, who has been conspicuously absent from social media in recent weeks. (This has yet to spark a rumor that Caelynn is actually Jessa in disguise, but the internet being the internet, we’re sure someone will put that out there eventually.) Neither the Duggars nor Caelynn has spoken out about the comparison, which is of course not at all surprising. After all, the Duggar girls probably aren’t allowed to watch shows like BIP. This family is so sheltered, people were surprised when Jill took her kids to see Toy Story 4 , as the Duggars typically steer clear of secular entertainment. Meanwhile, Caelynn is busy dealing with all that Blake Hortsmann drama . In a way, she’s the anti-Duggar. Jessa and company are always getting trolled for being evangelical prudes, while Caelynn is getting shamed for having sex. Anyone for else see the makings for a killer podcast team here?

Khloe Kardashian’s ex has found happiness! No, not Tristan Thompson , the other equally terrible one — Lamar Odom. Lamar, who was legally married to Khloe for seven years, has made it super known that he has moved on and has found love with new GF — health and life coach Sabrina Parr! The two began speculating romance rumors after TMZ captured videos of them making out in public, but it was pretty much confirmed later on after they decided to go Instagram official on us. A source, however, quickly made a rather odd allegation against the new couple, telling People that whatever was going on between them was “fake.” “They are not dating,” the source said. “There is nothing romantic going on with Sabrina and Lamar. It’s fake.” But Odom, who has been extremely vocal about his “new woman” on social media, shut down the reports right away. And now, he is speaking out about his relationship with Parr. On Friday, the former NBA player sat down with his girlfriend for an interview with Dish Nation where he was asked about his new romance, as well as his highly publicized marriage to Khloe. Odom was with the reality star from 2009 until 2016, though the two actually split three years earlier due to his partying habits, drug overdose, and insane (!!) amount of affairs, which he opened up about in his book ” Darkness to Light”. But despite their continuous support and love for one another, it looks like that train has officially left the station. During a “Rapid Fire” segment of the interview, Odom was asked about his feelings for the 35-year-old Kardashian. “I’ve definitely moved on,” he said. (ok, but new girl was sitting right there so of course he had to say that, right?) But when he was asked if the Kardashian family put him under a “spell” (lol) he reacted perfectly and with grace. “Hell no,” he said immediately. “I’m here and I’m alert. I’m present. “I knew what I was getting myself into,” he added. “They always did right by me.” The conversation moved away from Khloe because awkward . .. but he didn’t hold anything back when it came to his current life with Parr. “What makes this relationship different from previous relationships?” host Gary Hayes asked. Odom said: “It’s the truth. She’s black.” “When a black woman comes along, ain’t playing,” Hayes joked, then Parr added, “Oh no, I was not playing at all.” “Yeah, she keeps it real,” Odom gushed. Hayes then went on to question Parr, asking her how on earth she was able to give Lamar ” a chance”, despite his rough past with sex and drug addiction, as well as his near-fatal overdose in 2015 . Odom spoke first and said “Sometimes pain, I think, attracts women. The pain I’ve been through.” But Parr had a different, more understandable answer. “That wasn’t my story, I wasn’t attracted to the pain and the drama,” she said. “You have to meet people where they are.” “He was never in a position to be someone’s husband, you know?” the life coach added. “He was sick, he needed to heal, he neede to grieve. He experienced a lot of losses. And he never had time to go through that.” Well, it sounds like these two could actually be good for each other. So… here’s to a happy & healthy future for Lammy!

Reality TV may help its stars earn a pretty penny, but it doesn't make their lives any less scandalous. The Hollywood Gossip has rounded up some of the biggest scandals to rock reality TV. Seriously, these are huge — and yet not all are that surprising. Know what we mean? Just think of the kind of person it takes to actually go on reality television, right? Scroll down to read through each one… 1. Chrisley Most Definitely Does NOT Know Best Todd and Julie Chrisley, the stars of USA Network’s wildly successful reality series, Chrisley Knows Best were indicted on 12 counts of tax evasion and financial fraud in August 2019. They face up to 30 years in prison. Wowza, right? There are even rumors that their reality show is about to be canceled. It’s not like they can take the cameras into prisons, you guys. 2. TLC Swings the Axe on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Viewers were already disgusted with the antics from the Thompson-Shannon family, but things reached another level when news spread like wildfire that June Shannon was dating her daughter’s former molester. In a word? YUCK. 3. June Shannon Makes the Same Mistakes All Over Again To the surprise of many, June Shannon and her family returned to the spotlight thanks to We TV’s From Hot to Not — a series that focuses Shannon getting a body transformation. Despite the series, and extensive cosmetic surgery being a success, Shannon found warmth in the arms of another man who was less than savory. To everyone on the outside, it looks like June is addicted to crack cocaine. Hell, she was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia in March 2019. Even an intervention months later failed to get June to dump her boyfriend, Geno Doak. Will another TV show be canceled as a result of her dumb decisions? 4. Big Brother 15’s Racism Big Brother has had its fair share of controversial houseguests, but Season 15 featured many of them being racist. It was horrible to watch, but Julie Chen managed to call all of the perpetrators out during their exit interviews. You don’t cross Julie and get away with it! 5. Jon & Kate Plus Lots of H8 Jon & Kate Plus 8 performed very well in the ratings because the titular stars seemed to love each other. All of that came crashing down when it emerged that they were not on the same page and couldn’t stand one another. Yikes. 6. Abby Lee Miller Dances Her Way Behind Bars Abby Lee Miller was sentenced to one year in prison for fraud after creating a secret bank account to hide her lavish income from the IRS. Despite having to quit her post on Dance Moms, she returned shortly after leaving jail. View Slideshow
